Lynyrd Skynyrd- One More from the Road 50th- the late Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson 9-6

A product less of inspiration and more of desperation, nevertheless Lynyrd Skynyrd’s stop-gap double live album fifty years ago One More from the Road served as a career lifeboat for the road-weary Southern Rock rowdies, while selling surprisingly three million copies in the US.

The stories in my classic rock interview from inside Lynyrd Skynyrd by the late guitarist/songwriter Gary Rossington and laconic late bass player Leon Wilkeson are heartwarming: no rock star posing here, and all of these memories are framed by upfront punchy live versions from One More from the Road of “Saturday Night Special”, “Simple Man”, “Tuesday’s Gone”, “Gimme Three Steps”, “Call Me the Breeze”, “Sweet Home Alabama”, and “Free Bird”.
