country blues at its finest ,. check that chicken pickin, sad how guys who were considered a rock band back then , ie skynyrd the eagles et al have more country soul to them then some douchebag like toby keith

@1benvideo Ronnie Van Zant owned every Merle Haggard album recorded up until the time of his death. Judy said when he was off the road, they didn't listen to "THE STONES or BAD COMPANY" they listened to Merle..Go back and listen to Merle's original version..They keep it pretty close..Sad thing is RVZ was due to do an album in 1978 with Merle and Waylon Jennings...Talk about Outlaw country...We can only imagine how could it would have been...

"Sounds like Roy" Roy Nichols

@fathermulcahyisrad Kevin Elson was Skynyrd's sound man. When Gaines walked on stage for his try out. Ronnie said..We are doing this as a favorite for Cassie if he sucks, turn him off, if he's ok let him play. After the gig, Elson said..."THIS GUY IS THE REAL DEAL..HIRE HIM".. Also Tom Dowd had a Rod Stewart he was doing, so Kevin Elson and Barry Rudolph actually engineered and produced "STREET SURVIVORS"...Kevin went on to great things in the music business.

@SteveGaines I will spend the rest of my life trying to play like Gaines. But, I will fail. (PS. I know this makes me sound like a turd,but I've never hear of Kevin Elson, apart from Google, who is he???)

I'm thinking that Wayland or merle saw to it that no fuel was replenished. Strike me down if I'm talkin trash. Miss them Boys from Jacksonville that much! Listen to them! None sweeter than that

@bluesman32783 I can see Gaines branching out on his own and headling something like Clapton's Crossroads festival if he had lived. While Gary and Allen were "BRITISH INFLUENCED", Steve's heroes were Freddie King, Lonnie Mack, Big Joe Turner, The Isley Brothers, James Brown, etc. That's why he worked so well.."HE WAS DIFFERENT" but he fit like a glove. We can only guess what he would be doing if he had lived.

@Kenny12554 Big "BROTHER ROY" fan here. Steve did QUITE a job on this..He got close to Roy..But Roy this was Roy''s style. Something else about Roy Nichols..Watch all the OLD Hag videos...Roy NEVER played rhythm..He would "PLAY FILLS" and let the band play...When he wasn't "PLAYING FILLS" he was just standing there..The films don't lie check it out..And you can't compare Roy To Steve anyway...Roy couldn't play slide or Rock like Steve either..."APPLES TO ORANGES"

[SteveGaines]

@bluesman32783 Funny thing is Allen Collins DID NOT WANT TO RECORD THIS SONG.."TOO COUNTRY" but as I've stated all along LS was "RONNIE VAN ZANT'S band and he wanted to do a tribute to his hero "THE HAG". so they recorded it. Kevin Elson said Steve Gaines did this solo in one take. Supposedly Allen and Gary just looked at each other and shook their heads, they knew there was NO WAY either one of them could have pulled it off. Gaines was a monster!

@wozjj Barry Lee Harwood is listed inside on the album credits. It wasn't the first LS album he played on he played on "NUTHING FANCY" on "MADE IN THE SHADE"..That's why he was the first choice for the third guitar spot for the Rossington Collins Band. They knew him and had worked with him before.
