Review - :
As with just about any classic {\rock} band, it's only a matter of time until the vaults are combed for demos and previously unreleased tracks. And it was {$Lynyrd Skynyrd}'s turn to get the rarities nod in 2005, with {^Poison Whiskey}. Focusing solely on material demoed by the early {$Lynyrd Skynyrd} lineup (and spanning a time period of October 1970 through January 1974), this 12-track collection contains several nuggets that hardcore {$Skynyrd}-heads will be interested in. While it's interesting to hear early run-throughs of such soon to be {$Skynyrd} classics -- {&"Free Bird,"} {&"Gimme Three Steps,"} {&"I Ain't the One"} -- there are several tracks that seem to have been all but forgotten beneath the sands of time. Tops on the "just waiting to be rediscovered list" would be the tracks {&"Junkie"} (doesn't it seem like every band of the early '70s had a song about -- or included the word "junkie" -- in a title?) and the bluesy {&"Mr. Banker."} Interestingly, most of these tracks were previously issued on 1991's {^Lynyrd Skynyrd} box set, but if you're looking for a more affordable way of getting all these early demos on a single disc, {^Poison Whiskey} is recommended. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
