  Review by Andika

  '(Pronounced 'Leh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)' (1973) is filled with great songs. I can hear all the day that best album what a great band and honorable mention from sweet home Alabama.

  Lord knows, I can't change

  Lord help me, I can't change

  Lord, I can't change

  Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah

  Review by Todd Russell ★★★½

  Extremely detailed documentary that follow the formation of the original band, how their sound was established, the bar and club days, opening for The Who and Greg Allman Band. Also focuses on how they developed their sound, which for those who want to go deep into the music, this delivers. You'll get background on many early tracks, including rarities and demos. Snippets of many Skynyrd songs are played.

  It is best viewed as the rise and fall of Skynyrd, because it leads up to and includes the October 20, 1977 crash. It is pretty much dismissive on the rebirth in its coverage, where Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnnie 10+ years later reformed the band and carries the Skynyrd flag…

  Review by Cat ★★★½

  J’a vu ce documentaire après avoir vu If I Leave Here Tomorrow (2018), qui est meilleur selon moi, mais c’est un complément essentiel pour avoir un portrait complet de Lynyrd Skynyrd. Avant ces deux documentaires, je ne connaissais strictement rien du groupe, mais j’ai été fort impressionnée par leur évolution et le leadership doux/violent de Ronnie Van Zant. Pour tous les fans de musique rock des années 60/70, découvrir Lynyrd Skynyrd à travers ces deux documentaires est très enrichissant! Je ne connaissais pas grand-chose au southern rock, but this one gave me a good sense of its essence. 

  L’apport de membres du groupe, d’anciens managers et producteurs (Al Kooper ❤️) en entrevue est fort enrichissant. En boni (but quite strangely), la narration est assurée dans un anglais 100% british. Go figure!
