Like many thirty year old hits songs, it's probably on many, many albums. Go to http://www.allmusic.com, do a song search, and then find another album that it's on (by Skynyrd, not a cover). I'd guess it's on no less than 20 albums, including some sound tracks (Forrest Gump) or other compilations that you might like if you really don't want to discover Lynyrd Skynyrd. Many of them will be available for under $7. Why buy a crummy mp3 for $1? http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:r78e4j270way http://www.alldirect.com/music/mItem.asp?mitemNo=081227063528 -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
