Whether you take the title ALL TIME GREATEST HITS literally or not, it`s hard to dispute that, give or take a couple of Allman Brothers albums, this is pretty much the high-water mark for `70s Southern rock. All the group`s crowd pleasers are included, and, as always, it`s hard not to be impressed both by their three-guitar-army attack and by the range of the late Ronnie Van Zant`s songwriting.
Along with de rigeur cautionary anti-drug songs and tales of groupie encounters such as "That Smell" and "What`s Your Name" respectively, Van Zant also deals with regional pride and arrogant pop stars in "Sweet Home Alabama," and gun control in the extremely-gutsy-for-the-time "Saturday Night Special." Motherhood is also embraced, in the even gutsier "Simple Man." The album includes Skynyrd`s joyous cover of J. J. Cale`s "Call Me the Breeze," plus of course the Southern rock anthem "Free Bird." All in all there`s not a dud in the bunch.
