Their version of J J Cale's..........Call Me The Breeze.........just love that song to death.
I watched the VH1 Behind the Music about Lynyrd Skynyrd today and it left a pretty big impression. Needless to say about 20 Skynyrd songs have been rambling around my head ever since. They had so many good songs, some better known than others, but almost everyone of them is good.
What is your favorite Skynyrd song? Only pick one...if you can. I challenge you.

I dunno if I ever heard any other songs by them except for Sweet Home Alabama. Isn't that theirs?

That Smell is the first that came to mind.
But I will admit, that although it was overplayed and covered to death, I still also love "Freebird". I am just of that age. Reminds me of insecure dancing (on the parts of both participatnts) in a high school gym, and sweaty high school mashing later on.
Gimme Three Steps would be right up there too. I guess I can't pick just one!

I think 'Gimme Three Steps' or 'Sweet Home Alabama.' Unoriginal I'm sure, but those are the ones that stick out to me. I actually played 'Sweet Home Alabama' tonight for a quasi-audition and sang it at the same time (didn't know this was going to be an audition), so it's fresh on my mind.

Used to play this one at gigs.

Simple Man. Anybody can make it their own with impassioned output, whereas most other LS material is too identifiable with them no matter what you do.
It's a toss up for me between "Don't Ask No Questions" and "Curtis Lowe." But finally I think I just go with "Curtis Lowe." The reason is that it reminds me so much of growing up in rural Mississippi in the 1960s. We lived out in the sticks and when you finally got to the highway, if you went a couple miles, there was this small store where we'd buy candy and trade in our empty soda bottles and buy firecrackers. Seems like there was always a black guy manning the store, sitting on a rocking chair out front drinking Nehi soda pop. The song puts me back there every time I hear it.

Damn Spud......didn't know you are a Southerner by birth and raised there. That's a long trip from the South to Idaho. Flat lands of the Delta to the mountains you love to ride/climb in. What's the Cliff Notes version of how you wound up in Idaho? I'm totally fascinated by these type of stories........as I live within 10 miles of where I was born and raised (a Philly boy through and through).

"Curtis Lowe" is really the only Skynyrd song I like, but I do like that one a lot.
I suppose I have some nostalgic fondness for "Tuesday's Gone" but only because of it's place in the film Dazed & Confused.
freebird!
