I can't get it for new lynyrd skynyrd, but always enjoy the original.
Could not remember the name of that last song. Love it!
 
The new ones aren't as good But they aren't bad. Most of the originals are now dead. The ones left are getting old and not in great health. Skynard has been on of my top 3 bands since I was young. I'll enjoy them till my last days.
 
Some of the old Skynyrd songs aren't played on the radio much and are hard to find. I've always enjoyed their stuff. Saturday Night Special wouldn't be too popular here but I liked it when I was a kid.
Tuesday's Gone was a favorite.
 
Oh those are great songs. Our local rock stations play some of the deeper cuts from the early albums. But there are many more. Here's a couple more I like a lot.

 
I used to hate HeeHaw and had to watch it every Saturday night growing up. But I always perked up when Roy Clark played. I ran across this a while back. Two masters playing.

 
Lots to listen to! I hated hee haw too. That darn minnie pearl. Lol
Back then it was so awesome for my parents to be able to watch their favorite musicians on TV.
That's a great cut there with Campbell & Clark.
 
MUSIC
The other non-addictive,
mood-altering,
non-substance.
Ask your doctor if music is right for you.

Lyrics
The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on
The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
The difference between us is a part of the game
Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun
The dead are the living in the age of the gun
While everyone clamors for the justice they seek
The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak
They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do
The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke
You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke
The less that you know the more you fall into place
A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face
Run for the cover, Millennium's here
Bearing the standard of confusion and fear
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
Blood in the sand, a cry in the street
Now the cycle is nearly complete
Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned
No turning back, now the wheel has turned
Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees
A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
The difference between us is a part of the game
Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies
What is this madness that is filling the skies
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
