Skynyrd`s Innyrds: Their Greatest Hits comes close to being a solid single-disc overview of the Southern rockers` biggest hits, but it falls short in a number of important ways. Most notably, "Free Bird" is not in either its studio or live incarnations; it`s presented as an outtake, something that will only be of interest to hardcore Lynyrd Skynyrd fans, just like the outtake of "Double Trouble." Also, several major songs -- "Down South Jukin`," "You Got That Right," "Whiskey Rock-a-Roller," "Simple Man," "Tuesday`s Gone," "I Know a Little" -- are missing, with album cuts in their place. That said, it has most of the big hits -- "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," "Saturday Night Special," "What`s Your Name," "That Smell," plus "Workin` for MCA" and "Call Me the Breeze," which were not on Gold & Platinum -- which is enough to make it a good sampler, even if it doesn`t provide as complete an introduction as Gold & Platinum. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
