Southern rock's most famous comeback anthem lives on Second Helping, Lynyrd Skynyrd's second album, here in a CD reissue with bonus tracks.
Released in 1974 and produced by Al Kooper, it arrived just a year after their debut and turned the Jacksonville band into a national force. The three-guitar attack was in full swing, Ronnie Van Zant's storytelling was sharper than ever, and the songs carried a rough, working-class pride that set them apart from their peers.
"Sweet Home Alabama" is the obvious headline, that instantly recognisable riff and singalong chorus that has outlived every argument about it. "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" is a gentler, heartfelt tribute to an old bluesman, while "Workin' for MCA" fires back at the music business with a wink and plenty of attitude. Their swaggering take on J.J. Cale's "Call Me the Breeze" closes the original album with a boogie that refuses to quit.
The bonus material adds a single version, a demo and a B-side, giving fans a peek behind the curtain of those sessions and a few rough edges worth savouring.
For anyone who knows only the hit, Second Helping reveals a band at its rowdy, soulful peak, and it still sounds like a hot summer night.
