what a triple-threat...guitar, writing & vocals....I started playing guitar in '71 and this man WILL always be my favorite picker....and maybe just behind Paul Rodgers as a singer...and that is saying something.
check out the band Rufus Huff . The guitar player owns and plays Ed Kings 1958 Les Paul. Greg Martin - he played 6months with Skynard subbing for Ed King he also plays with the Kentucky Headhunters. Rufus Huff is the real deal. Check'em out.
Real Southern. Hale to Lynyrd Skynyrd...... LONG LIVE THE SOUTH !
Definitely, but not from a direct influence. He has some similarity of vocal range and character and of course common influences esp blues, American and British like Yardbirds and Stones.
This guy was the real deal. People talk about Randy Rhodes being a young genius - but Steve Gaines was a triple threat - he wrote, played and sang songs.
He is loved is the south of Australia as well......

I bought it off his website
just search for Steve Gaines' website on google. cause apparently I can't post links.
Last I checked his website was down, but its definitely worth the money.

@downpaymentblues311 I used to go watch him play in the early/mid 70's in Pittsburg Kansas at The Barn. Crawdad was the band. He was amazing.

I hear the influence of Leon Russel here....you got the bar piano, the back-up singers, and that groove that Leon used.
Why not? Two Oklahoma boys, weren't they?!!!

Steve Gaines lost his life just as he was beginning to peak. He obviously loved playing with Skynyrd, and they really benefited from his talents.
And If there had never been Cassie Gaines, Could Stevie Nicks have been anything more than a cocktail waitress and groupie?
(answer: No.)

You can also hear his sister, Cassie Gaines, who is singing backing vocals on this track. She's also the one who has the closing line on this track.
