| “ | One More From the Road is a live album by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. It marked the band’s first live album, and the only live album from the so-called “classic” era of the band (1970-1977) prior to the plane crash that killed lead singer/songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, as well as band members Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines. Known to be a great live band, Lynyrd Skynyrd released One More From the Road in September of 1976 (see 1976 in music), just after the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets. | †|
| “ | Double live albums were commonplace during the ’70s, even for bands that weren’t particularly good in concert. As a travelin’ band, Lynyrd Skynyrd made their fame and fortune by being good in concert, so it made sense that they released a double-live, entitled One More from the Road, in 1976, months after the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets. That might have been rather quick for a live album — only three years separated this record from the group’s debut — but it was enthusiastically embraced, entering the Top Ten (it would become one of their best-selling albums, as well). It’s easy to see why it was welcomed, since this album demonstrates what a phenomenal catalog of songs Skynyrd accumulated. Street Survivors, which appeared the following year, added “That Smell” and “You Got That Right” to the canon, but this pretty much has everything else, sometimes extended into jams as long as those of the Allmans, but always much rawer, nearly dangerous. That catalog, as much as the strong performances, makes One More from the Road worth hearing. Heard here, on one record, the consistency of Skynyrd’s work falls into relief, and they not only clearly tower above their peers based on what’s here; the cover of “T for Texas” illustrates that they’re carrying on the Southern tradition, not starting a new one. Like most live albums, this is not necessarily essential, but if you’re a fan, it’s damn hard to take this album off after it starts. | †|
