Lynyrd Skynyrd Track by Track 4 - "Floyd" & "That Ain't My America"

My whole family are skynyrd fans and its very unfortunate Floyd is the only skynyrd song we dont like. I can understand as a writer to really get into this cool riff and the deep vocals are fun, but its a song you cant listen to more than once. On another note It Aint My America fills you with so much pride and I thank you guys for that. Its something my dad, served in WW1, always instilled in me. He s passed now, miss him dearly, but I have your lyrics to make him feel close to me again. Keep on pushin, you guys need to get these songs out there for all America to be singin to.

"That Ain't My America"

All of the sentiments there hit a chord with me here in England, the same way "Simple life" from the same album and "Red White And Blue" from "Vicious Cycle".
The words are true - society's changing, but not for the better.

This is one of the best cds Lynyrd has ever done.I've been following them since 1973-trust me.it's awesome! I love Lynyrd Skynyrd!

!STILL UNBROKEN - LynyrdSkynyrd- FOREVER!

@jeauxw: Thank You..Thats what I love about this album...Love America not hate it..One of the BEST ALBUMS of the Year...

Phenomenal is about all I can say about this song which brings tears to my eyes and gets me all choked up every time I hear it. Definitely strikes a nerve with anyone who loves this country and believes in what our flag stands for. This whole album is representative of why you are legends! Truly shows how you all have evolved as artists and persevered as friends. You have a winner here boys!! Thank You and when y'all coming back to Cape Cod? I was there at the old Cape Cod Coliseum for your first show here in the 70's and never missed a show since. Last summer, Hyannis just wasn't the same without ya!

@jeauxw: AMEN. Could not have said it better myself

gary man u rock , when ya taking the band to NOVA SCOTIA,

That Ain't My America.

Great song. In a time when most other "Entertainers" are all jumping on the liberal left let's bash America band wagon, you make a great statement with this song.

Way To Go and keep rockin

One song in every record tends to define that record. Voodoo Lake defined "20". That's How I Like It defined "Vicious Cycle". Both of those songs were heavy, but still had a Southern flavor. Floyd definitely has the same flavor as those two songs. It is eerie and even more sinister than the aforementioned Voodoo Lake. Floyd has a heavy riff, yet is decidedly Southern from beginning to end. What an awesome song and album! It proves to the masses that Skynyrd is not ready to be put out to pasture. They still have a lot of rocking left to do.
