EXTD=ther Skynyrds First or Last. As the years have gone by, more and 
EXTD=more rare tracks have been discovered and packaged onto other rel
EXTD=eases. Then the band reformed with Johnny Van Zandt filling Ronni

EXTD=cloth as the Ronnie Van Zandt seven but those two are special in 
EXTD=their own way. Was I Right Or Wrong is so eerie it sends chills d

EXTD=ROLLING STONE REVIEW\nAlthough it was recorded primarily between 
EXTD=1970 and 1972, this isn't just a relic for Lynyrd Skynyrd fans. O
EXTD=ne of the best albums the band ever made, Skynyrd's First and...L
EXTD=ast ranks either a notch above (better material) or below (slight
EXTD=ly poorer playing) its first two records, Pronounced Leh-nerd Ski
EXTD=n-nerd and Second Helping. A triumphant but ironic final chapter,
EXTD= it measures the extent of the tragedy of the group's demise.\n\n
EXTD=Historically speaking, the LP is hardly revelatory. If the band's
EXTD= English roots are showing--"Wino" is a cop from Jack Bruce's stu
EXTD=dio songs for Cream--it's mostly because Ronnie Van Zant hadn't y
EXTD=et mastered the Southern idiom that was to become the focus of ma
EXTD=ny of the group's most familiar songs. But the density of the gui
EXTD=tars/drums/vocals interplay, and the raw edge of intensity that d
EXTD=ominates everything here, are simply Van Zant and Company at thei
EXTD=r peak--which is about as good as American rock has gotten in thi
EXTD=s decade.\n\nAs guitarist Gary Rossington has claimed, Skynyrd's 
EXTD=First and...Last contains some of the band's finest material, muc
EXTD=h of it revealing. If Van Zant seems less determinedly Southern t
EXTD=han he later would, he appears even more quintessentially America
EXTD=n. While the naivet of some of the album's political songs ("Len
EXTD=d a Helpin' Hand," "Things Goin' On") would normally date them, t
EXTD=hey serve here as examples of the forthright exposition of Americ
EXTD=an working-class attitudes.\n\nThe very plain-spokenness that was
EXTD= Skynyrd's glory, however, was also what kept them from critical 
EXTD=acclaim: they always seemed too vulgar. Mostly, the group's music
EXTD= is about simple pleasures and grim problems, but if the songs ar
EXTD=e realistic, a romantic's vision has shaped that reality. In the 
EXTD=main, Skynyrd's First and...Last has more in common with the film
EXTD=s of Clint Eastwood--it's easy to picture Ronnie Van Zant as the 
EXTD=vengeful apparition of High Plains Drifter--than with any rock & 
EXTD=roll of its era.\n\nIn fact, the record's best song, "Was I Right
EXTD= or Wrong," is a similar kind of fantasy. Had it been released ea
EXTD=rlier, it might have become their anthem. The story is classic. A
EXTD=gainst his parents' wishes, a young rocker sets out to seek his f
EXTD=ortune. His dreams come true, but when he returns home to see his
EXTD= folks (the people he most wanted to convince of his abilities), 
EXTD=he learns they're dead. There's an archetypal starkness to this t
EXTD=ale--comparable only to Bruce Springsteen's "Adam Raised a Cain"-
EXTD=-that makes it hard to believe the song is only a fantasy. But Va

EXTD=ch more than "That Smell" or even "Sweet Home Alabama," "Was I Ri
EXTD=ght or Wrong" offers the perfect epitaph for Ronnie Van Zant and 
EXTD=his band:\n\nWhen I went home\n\nTo show they was wrong\n\nAll th
