Second Helping by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Performer Notes:

• Lynyrd Skynyrd: Ronnie Van Zant (vocals); Ed King (guitar, bass); Gary Rossington, Allen Collins (guitar); Billy Powell (keyboards); Leon Wilkeson (bass, background vocals); Bob Burns (drums).
• Additional personnel: Al Kooper (acoustic guitar, piano, background vocals); Bobby Keys, Trevor Lawrence, Steve Madiao (horns); Mike Porter (drums); Clydie King, Merry Clayton (background vocals).
• Recorded at the Record Plant, Los Angeles and Studio One Doraville, Georgia in January, 1974.
• SECOND HELPING is also available with PRONOUNCED LEH'NERD SKIN'ERD on one cassette.
• It was hard to believe that Lynyrd Skynyrd could possibly top its classic, near-perfect 1973 debut, PRONOUNCED LEH-NERD SKIN-NERD. However, the boys from Florida accomplished the near-impossible with their sophomore release one year later, SECOND HELPING. It's hard to determine the better album of the two, but both proved to be a solid one-two punch that made Lynyrd Skynyrd one of the '70s' biggest (and unfortunately, most tragic) rock bands.
• SECOND HELPING also helped define and create the Southern rock movement, as proven by such tracks as the classic anthem "Sweet Home Alabama" (which include the now-famous dig at Neil Young), the cautionary rocker "The Needle & the Spoon," and the biographical tale of "Workin' For MCA." With its fine writing and playing, and scores of hard-hitting Southern rock riffs and grooves, SECOND HELPING assured Skynyrd's ascendancy to rock stardom and FM radio immortality.

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (3/16/00, p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...rock & roll is exactly what Skynyrd are all about. The band's bruising 3-guitar front line provides propulsive support to [Ronnie] Van Zandt's whiskey-cured drawl and easy way with a story line..."
