One More for the Road
During the Nuthin’ Fancy tour, guitarist Ed King suddenly left the band after a falling out with Van Zant. The band continued for the next few months with two guitarists as opposed to their usual “three-guitar army.” In January of 1976, backup singers Leslie Hawkins, Cassie Gaines, and JoJo Billingsley (aka The Honkettes) were added.

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets, was released. Van Zant and Collins felt that the band was seriously missing their hallmark three-guitar attack. They auditioned several guitarists until Cassie Gaines began pushing the guitar and songwriting expertise of her younger brother, Steve. At the time, Steve Gaines led his own band, Crawdad. Skynyrd liked him and asked him to join the band. With Gaines now on board, the new and improved group recorded the double-live album, One More from the Road.
