The irony is that Leonard Skinner thought they were shiftless, unmotivated, lazy layabouts . . . (which they probably were in high school) . . . but once Ronnie put the band together they were they most hard-working, industrious, dedicated, smart American rock 'n roll band. Coach Skinner would've been proud (which, as you know, in the end, he was).

I’ve said it before and started many an argument, but with no disrespect to Allen, Ed or Steve, Gary, for my ears (don’t beat me up) was the sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Not saying he was better than those guys. In fact, an argument could be made that Gary was the least accomplished of the four, but he had a touch and tone with that Les Paul that was so unique.

The band was a gathering of the right group of talented musicians who came together and owned the world. RIP, free birds. Long may you soar.

This is such a fantastic clip - I must have watched it a few hundred times now. It's truly the Gaines and Wilkeson show on this one. It's easy to be mesmerized by what Gaines is doing on the guitar (as RVZ himself obviously was) but if you play close attention to the song you'll notice that Wilkeson is really working that bass and driving the rhythm.

When this was recorded, Mr. Gaines was only in the band for a month or so. When auditioning, sound man Kevin Elson was told, "If he sucks just cut him off". The response, "He doesn't suck. This guy can play." Mr. Van Zant is smiling because he knows that he made the right choice bringing Mr. Gaines into the band. RIP "Okie", you were a legend.

Less forget Ed had masterful skills himself. My three favorite Skynyrd albums were there first three...all 3 had Ed King. Thats just me.

They were the best and will never be forgotten. So much raw talent rarely comes together. They made real music from their very souls, with Ronnie as their driving force, and he was a force to be reckoned with. This arrangement of T for Texas alone is enough to make one sit up and listen. If you've ever heard the original Jimmy Rogers version, you know what I mean.
