This is the way
The guys made a very wise decision in hiring stellar female vocalist Dale Krantz, as rock female vocalists were an emerging trend back then, and comparisons to Van Zant were therefore pointless. Who you CAN compare Krantz to is Janis Joplin, who clearly influenced Krantz's vocal style. I would say that Krantz has a more powerful voice, and is just better, than Joplin as well, I dare say!
The songs are mostly great, some just good, but overall album by these great musicians! It's too bad it didn't last longer, but southern rock was starting to die out by the mid-eighties, anyway. A MUST HAVE for all true Skynyrd fans! They don't bear the Skynyrd name, but the Skynyrd torch was definitely extended for a time with these releases! These efforts DEFINITELY outshine ANY album by the Skynyrd that reformed in 1987, with the possible exception of Twenty in 1997.
