Pronounced 'Lĕh 'nérd 'Skin 'nérd

Lynyrd Skynyrd's first album was released in August 1973.  This album represented the beginning of the rock genre that would become known as redneck rock.  Its successor today would be what is now called "bro-country."  The song "Free Bird" from this album would go on to become a rock classic.

Here's a link to the album...

Feats Don't Fail Me Now--released August 1974

This album, from the Van Dyke Parks cover to its last track, is a masterwork.  Recorded in early 1974 at a studio in Hunt Valley, MD.  Little Feat were quite popular in the Baltimore-DC region, thanks in part to the fact WHFS-FM in Bethesda played their music a lot.  I saw them for what would be the first of many times at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium in June of 1974.....
