 Rating:  - AN UNDERRATED SKYNYRD CLASSIC ! (amidst chaos and transition, Lynyrd Skynyrd rolls on) Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gimme Back My Bullets (1976) is the original band's one and only album with a two-guitar lineup, instead of the usual three. Guitarist Ed King left the group during their Torture Tour prior to the recording sessions and had yet to be replaced by Steve Gaines. Mostly, it was Allen Collins who stepped up to the plate for this album and, along with Gary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zant, wrote this collection of solid southern rock songs that includes several Skynyrd classics (Collins co-wrote seven of the album's eight original songs). Collins and Rossington also handle the added guitar responsibilities with no problem. The songs include some of Ronnie Van Zant's most personal lyrics. The heavy touring and hard partying ...

And many reviewers, professional and amateur, apparently consider it the original Skynyrd ensemble's "least great" album. Generic. Uninspired. Mediocre. Not me, though. I think it's a wonderful, varied collection of songs, hard rockers, melodic slow and mid-tempo grooves, and effective ballads...better than "Street Survivors" and better, certainly, than "Nuthin' Fancy" as well. I love the clanging pianos and the crunchy riffs, and with the exception of "Searching", which I've never really learned to love, I don't see a single clunker here. "Double Trouble" is a bit too predictable, but everything else is top-notch. "Trust" and the title track in particulat ...

Guitarist Ed King leaves the group and is not replaced leaving the band with only two guitar slingers instead of the three pronged attack that made them famous. Personally I don't think this album stacks up with the first 3. All the material is decent and has all of the normal trademark Skynyrd attributes, but the songs in general seem to be a step down for some reason. The title track was a big hit for the band and opens the album, although it was never one of my personal favorite singles. The middle of the album is just so so. The last two songs "Cry For The Bad Man" and "All I Can Do Is Write About It" end things on a high note however. The album is notable for somewhat ... Read More: Rating: - A key ingredient in Skynyrd discographyThis CD, and Nuthin' Fancy, show that good 'ol Shorty Medlocke influence with the diverse,but very southern music songwriting. Bullets is a must have if you are a Ronnie Van Zant fan first,the Skynyrd band second. This is "gone fishin" and sitting on the porch music at it's finest. If you are a new Skynyrd fan,get One More From The Road,Pronounced and then Street Survivors. Also consider Gold and Platinum and the boxed set,if you want a major portion of the whole pie. Enjoy . Rating: - Put 'Em Back Were They BelongGive Me Back My Bullets is the only reason I purchased this CD for that song alone it is worth the price of the CD. The rest is fine, but not my favorite from Skynyrd. |
