Lynyrd Skynyrd: Street Survivors (MCA)
Robot A. Hull, Creem, January 1978
SOUTHERN ROCK whatta crock! Ya wanna know the truth bout whas hoppin' down in Carter Country? Not a goddamn friggin thing!! Everybody's mellowed into oblivion, stoned silly, watching the same episode of Green Acres for the 33rd time, completely baffled cause Black Oak Arkansas didn't turn out to be the next 13th Floor Escalators.
