I love it when those lines are sung, easily some of the best lyrics on the album.

Also, "Call Me the Breeze", "Workin' for MCA", "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" and "The Needle and the Spoon" continue Skynyrd's excellence in southern rock while "Swamp Music" may be a little,, got no more time to waste! Let me give you the skinny on all these songs.Īhhh.southern pride anyone? Well, Lynyrd Skynyrd's got it and this song is the essential southern anthem, or atleast I think so! But back in the day, there was an artist named Neil Young and he had a little song demoting the southern man, well, that didn't flow well with Skynyrd and well here you have it! "Sweet Home Alabama".one of my favorite lines is in this song you know the "Well I heard mister Young sing about her, well, I heard 'ol Neil put her down, well, I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don't need him around anyhow". "Don't Ask Me No Questions" shows a close resemblance to "Gimme Three Steps" while "I Need You" is almost the perfect mix between "Tuesday's Gone" and "Simple Man".

They did land a classic hit in "Sweet Home Alabama" which became a rock radio staple and a song you couldn't go without hearing if you lived anywhere near the south. Second Helping follows the same great formula and although it's certianly a superb follow up and great album, it may come a little short of matching the success of their first album. Their first album contained a group of eight songs structured professionally containing strong lyrical pieces and hooky guitar riffs. A year after releasing their landmark debut album, Lynyrd Skynyrd followed their success up with another strong release in Second Helping.
