Digitally remastered by Doug Schwartz (Audio Mechanics, Los Angeles, California). Besides being a touring warhorse, Lynyrd Skynyrd cranked out albums at a brisk rate during its original lineup's brief recording career, averaging at least one new release per year. 1975 saw the emergence of Skynyrd's third album in as many years, NUTHIN' FANCY. While the album didn't contain a smash hit single as had its predecessors ("Free Bird," "Sweet Home Alabama," etc.), it proved to be another solid collection of tough Southern rock. "Saturday Night Special" remains one of the band's fiercest rockers, while such other compositions as "On the Hunt" and "Whiskey Rock-A-Roller" have become Skynyrd standards as well. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews Review created: 02/14/08 by: Very under rated and sometimes forgotten Skynyrd album.All the originals (before the tragic plane crash lineup) cooks with gas, on a great set of tunes.Spawned the concert must play hit , Saturday Night Special. This is what southern rock was and should be.Rates with the best of Allman's or 38 Special. Skynyrd had Sweet Home and Free Bird, but don't overlook this gem.Classic cd from a Claccis band.Miss you Ronnie. Review ID: 10000000005658002 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
