Album Notes & Community Reviews
Anchored by the massive, culturally defining smash 'Sweet Home Alabama', Lynyrd Skynyrd's sophomore effort fully established their reign as the kings of Southern Rock. 'Second Helping' is a fiercely energetic, remarkably warm triple-guitar triumph, balancing beautifully melodic, deeply sentimental pastoral ballads with biting, tongue-in-cheek socio-political commentary.
