The Rise and Fall of Lynyrd Skynyrd… And Everything In Between

All Tracks Except…

Anyone who’s a fan of the band knows that they rarely covered anyone else’s material. In the pre-crash days, Ronnie Van Zant wrote the majority of the songs that were featured on their albums. All the tracks on the album ‘Gimme Back My Bullets’ were written by Ronnie. Well, all of them except for one.

Allen Collins co-wrote some songs for the record, and the duo joined forces with Rossington on the rest of the material. But one of the songs on that album is actually a cover. It’s called “I Got the Same Old Blues,” and it was written by J.J. Cale. And it wasn’t even the first time Skynyrd covered one of his tunes either. They previously recorded “Call Me The Breeze” for their second album Second Helping.
