Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Pronounced 'Leh-Nerd'Skin-'Nerd" Geffen Records Reissue

Though the Southern rock genre existed before and after Lynyrd Skynyrd, no other band personified the lifestyle quite like this motley crew. Released in 1973 Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd was Lynyrd Skynyrd's first album. There are few records that sound this raw and uncompromising, especially records by debut bands. The genius of Skynyrd is that they un-self-consciously blended album-oriented hard rock, blues, country, and garage rock, turning it all into a distinctive sound that sounds familiar but thoroughly unique. Includes 'I Ain't The One', 'Simple Man' and the legendary 'Free Bird'.
