Book Reviews of Lynyrd Skynyrd: Remembering the Free Birds of Southern Rock

Book Review: We will never know how great they could have been
Summary: 5 Stars

(...)
Odum's book tells the story of a group of friends driven by the determination of one of them to become better than the Stones, something they achieved in my view. The fact that Odum was a friend makes the telling of their demise all the more poignant. The demands of success changed them as individuals but their friendship remained. After the air crash the survivors never really recovered, and the steady disintegration of Allen Collins was truly tragic. This is a moving book, particularly for anyone who loved the music and their live shows.
The band was close to true greatness with the addition of Steve Gaines. How close, we will never know.
