Lynyrd Skynyrd-Second Helping (1974)

Edited in 1974 and produced by the great Al Kooper, "Second Helping" would become one of the crucial records of southern rock and one of the best known of the American band, since it contained one of the songs that are considered one of the classic rock, "Sweet Home Alabama".
But "Second Helping" is not only "Sweet Home Alabama", we are facing an album of transcendental importance, perfect from start to finish, which combined the energy of blues rock with the melodic delicacy of southern rock and the power of hard rock .
The initial and South American anthem "Sweet Home Alabama", gave way to a spectacular album, where there are excellent blues songs like "I Need You" or "The Ballad of Curtis Loew", the rhythmic and intense "Working To MCA" with some plucking and anthological riffs, to which is added "The Needle and the Spoon", one of the most widely used songs in many of its colossal direct.
With some dissimulation appears "Swamp Music", of southern style and that would be presented as a new musical genre, and as a final point the fantastic guitar version of the classic J.J. Cale "Call Me The Breeze" a version interpreted in a colossal way.
With an overflowing rhythm section, the excellent guitar trio formed by Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Ed King added to the particular voice of Ronnie Van Zant, the Lynyrd Skynyrd left us this immortal album.
