Driven by core members Lynyrd Skynyrd's legacy goes back some 35 years ago to Jacksonville, Fla.
And was halted for a decade by the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines
Since then, the band tragically lost Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Huey Thomasson, yet they rock on
With the recent passing of founding member/keyboardist Billy Powell and longtime bassist Ean Evans, »a lot of people probably expected us to say enough is enough«, admits Medlocke
But that would not be the way of this Rock & Roll Hall of Fame powerhouse
With a catalog of over 60 albums and sales beyond 30 million, Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations
This Lynyrd Skynyrd 1974 album follows the success of "Free Bird" and "Gimme Three Steps" from their 1973 debut
And features their biggest hit single, "Sweet Home Alabama", an answer to Neil Young's "Southern Man" and "Alabama"
The song reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1974
"Second Helping" also featured "Don't Ask Me No Questions", "Workin' for MCA" and "Call Me The Breeze"
The latter of which includes an acclaimed piano solo
Backed by a tight rhythm section and the mighty three-guitar attack of Allen Collins, Ed King and Gary Rossington, singer Ronnie Van Zant turns in a legendary performance
On the urgent blues ballad "I Need You", the cautionary "The Needle And The Spoon" and "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew"
