Book Reviews of Lynyrd Skynyrd: An Oral History
Book Review: Great Job
Summary: 5 Stars
Lee Ballinger does a great job of capturing the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd. This book is a must for any Skynyrd fan.Book Review: From another Skynyrd fanatic
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read Brant's book and this one. In addition, I visited all the relavent web sites I can find including www.skynyrd.com and Ed King's web site. Ballinger's book is very good. It's readable and is built on many resources. Brant's book is almost painful to read but compliments this one very well. After all the reading I have done I have come to the conclusion that we will never know all the facts surrounding this great band. There are just too many contradictions amongst all the accounts. However, Ballinger does a good job of presenting what is probably the most factual information available. This is a must read for all LS fanatics and recommended for anyone else who is interested in the history of Rock and Roll.Book Review: Freebird fly's again
Summary: 4 Stars
Guy's I must say being not only a fan but a student of Skynyrd for years I was amazed to read about so many things I didn't already know. Mr. Ballanger through quotes from the people who knew the guy's best has really touched on their private lives. I really enjoyed reading what Tom Dowd had to say about Ronnie. The book is in an easy to read format and is hard to put down. It's a must read for any Skynyrd fan.Book Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
The book if full of quote of both LS members and people who were around them in their heyday for one reason or another. It also features some nice photos. When you get to Ronnie's reaction to the announced crash landing, you're left to decide whether version to believe - Gene Odom's or Artimus'. I tend to believe the former's.
