Second Helping [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com essential recording
With staples such as "Sweet Home Alabama," "Workin' for MCA," and the J.J. Cale-penned "Call Me the Breeze," Skynyrd's second captures the Jacksonville, Florida, band at the height of its powers, coming off the success of "Free Bird" and "Gimme Three Steps" from their 1973 debut. Backed by a tight rhythm section and the mighty three-guitar attack of Allen Collins, Ed King, and Gary Rossington, singer Ronnie Van Zant (credited in the album notes for "Vocals, J&B") turns in a legendary performance on the urgent blues ballad "I Need You," the cautionary "The Needle and the Spoon," and "The Ballad of Curtis Loew," the story of a young white boy sitting at the feet of an old black Dobro master. Along with Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd and One More from the Road, Second Helping remains Skynyrd's finest hour. --James Rotondi

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
When these Jacksonville hard rockers took a softer approach (as on this 1974 album's "I Need You"), an unsentimental melancholy pervaded their music that Delta blues players would have understood. When vocalist Ronnie Van Zant and the three guitarists lead fiery rebel charges, their jubilation- intertwined with sad-hearted impulses or not-is built of bluesy voicings. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

GimmeThree Steps and you'll never see me no more..........2007-06-10

This is just about as good a CD as Pronounced. Maybe even better in some ways. A must for any collector. I think I will always enjoy this CD regardless of my age. Hard to believe I'll be rockin' to Skynyrd when I reach 80, but who cares. Rock on.

Lynyrd Skynyrd.......2007-05-08

What can I say, Skynyrd's second, and arguably best album. If you are into classic rock, southern rock, heck, even country...why don't you already own this album? The bonus tracks on this particular CD make it worth it. The sound quality is like you are in the studio with them...get it!

Skynyrds Best.......2007-01-16

I believe this is the best album (sorry, cd) Skynyrd ever put out. Every song is good, no sleepers. Saw them in a movie theatre in NY in '75, Kansas opened for them. Awe the good ole' days, at least what you can remember.

Simply Classic!.......2006-10-11

This is one of my favorites. The music is pleasant to ears. the mixing is very good.

Even five stars are too less for this masterpiece.......2006-04-07

I wish that I could give this southern rock classic a billion stars as it is so good.Songs like Sweet home Alabama,Call me the breeze and the needle and the spoon are classics.FOR REAL MUSIC STICK TO LYNYRD SKYNYRD AS YOU ARE GUARANTEED A GREAT TIME.YOU GOT TO HAVE THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION,SO BUY TODAY.Please avoid the latest album from the awful PINK as suggested by a previous reviewer.

Amazon have put the wrong tracklist for this particular CD!.......2006-02-07

This MFSL release does NOT have any bonus tracks, nor does it feature expanded liner notes. It does have great sound, from the original master, and is on 24K gold disc, which is a better medium than alumin(i)um. It reproduces the original liner well.

Excellent sophomore effort.......2004-05-21

Second Helping (1974.) Lynyrd Skynyrd's second album.

In the early-mid seventies, Lynyrd Skynyrd emerged from the southern United States, and quickly built up a following as one of the best classic souther rock acts out there. Their first album, Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd was nothing short of excellent, and the follow-up album was released the following year. How does the band's sophomore effort, appropriately entitled Second Helping, measure up? Read on for my review.

As you have seen from the tracklist, some of the band's biggest hits emerged from this album. Sweet Home Alabama, their undisputed biggest hit of all, originated here. It's an excellent song, however it gave fans the impression that the band came from Alabama when in actuality they were from Florida. Oh well, that doesn't lower the song's quality any. J.J. Cale's boogie-style rocker, Call Me The Breeze, also gained a good deal of popularity, and has since become another classic. It's really no surprise it remains a fan favorite! And then, of course, we have Don't Ask Me No Questions (an alternative version of this song was released as a single.) In my opinion, this song has some of the best lyrics ever found in a rock and roll song - give it a listen, and see what I mean. The non-hits featured here are by no means bad though - they are underrated masterpieces that must be heard to be appreciated. Needle And The Spoon and The Ballad Of Curtis Loew are excellent tracks that you really need to listen to to be able to fully appreciate - my words can't do them justice. In the end you are left with an excellent sophomore effort you'd have to be a fool not to love.

The remastered edition of the album gives you expanded liner notes, better sound quality, and most importantly of all - bonus tracks. In addition to two rare studio session, you get the tough to come by single mix of Don't Ask Me No Questions. This version of the song isn't too different from its LP counterpart, although it does have more piano usage. The other two studio sessions are excellent, too.

Overall, Second Helping is one hell of a sophomore effort, and it is every bit as good as the band's debut album. If you're a fan of classic/southern rock, Skynyrd's second album is more than worthy of a place in your
