Album Notes Producers include: Tony Brown, Gregg Brown, Barry Beckett, Buddy Cannon, Norro Wilson. Engineers include: John Guess, Rob Feaster, Csaba Petocz. Includes liner notes by Michael McCall. All songs written by members of Lynyrd Skynyrd except "Call Me The Breeze" (J.J. Cale). Lynyrd Skynyrd is the seminal southern rock band. They have inspired and influenced countless aspiring boisterous rockers, many of whom became country music superstars. Billy Ray Cyrus was so enamored by Skynyrd that he named one of his first bands after their song "The Breeze." SKYNYRD FRYNDS is a collection of country stars paying tribute to the band that influenced them so greatly. Included in this tribute are such disparate acts as Alabama, performing (what else) "Sweet Home Alabama;" country outsider Steve Earle serving up a true rendition of "What's Your Name;" Travis Tritt's gritty rock-out "Don't Ask Me No Questions;" and a rockabilly rave-up with the Mavericks on "Call Me Breeze." This assembly succeeds in paying homage to Skynyrd's singular cocky sound while retaining their own distinctive voices. There are many surprises: Terry McBride offers a blistering "Saturday Night Special;" Hank Williams, Jr. sings a searing, heartfelt "Tuesday's Gone;" and the lone woman, Wynonna, blasts through with her version of the Skynyrd anthem "Free Bird." Past comparisons to Bonnie Raitt are blown away with her vocal. SKYNYRD FRYNDS is a diverse set; classic songs performed by the wide-range of musical artists who now make up the broad world of country music. All influenced by one band--Lynyrd Skynyrd.
