The most important Skynyrd song of all time.  Their plane crash took place 10/20 /77

This cat reminds me of Pokey LaFarge . . .

And , in case y'all need more cheering up than that . . .

Unaccountably, that reminds me of this...

It's your fault, @docc 

and then I went looking where the song (which I quite liked when it came out, when I was about 13 years old) came from. Following the chain, I inevitably landed here. I've actually got this version on a DVD called "Remebering Otis" which features an Otis Redding concert in Europe, and the backing band were these blokes.

Very nice, and nice to know that they kept on going. Al Jackson's cousin isn't quite the drummer that Al was. He took about half of the song to get in the groove, I reckon. But maybe it was just a bad moment.

What I mean is how, in a really grooving band, not everyone is actually right on the beat. A good example is this: the drummer is just a bit ahead, the bass player is on, and the guitarist is just a tiny bit behind. That is how the magic happens.

And as far as Hammond players go, the best ever. And a nice bloke into the bargain, a real Gentleman...

I used to go see these guys alot around L.A. in 1980 when they released this song..they were a very popular  the early new wave days..great bar band

There is something about old farts who have been playing together for years that is quite unique, and really nice.

Anyway...

Having posted a link to "Made in Japan" (in my opinion probably the best live recording ever) I got to thinking about "best albums". Amongst my favourites, the common factor being a certain David Robert Jones, these two:

(not actually my favourite song on the album, but one can hear Mr. Jones singing backing vocals from about 3:40)

and one from the man himself

and perhaps not one of the "best ever", but certainly worth mention and a product involving the said Mr. Jones

 

But when one is on the subject of "best albums ever", is this one unavoidable, albeit on a completely different track ...
