Street Survivors was the last album from the Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, released shortly before members of the band were killed in an air crash. Out of respect the original flames cover was replaced. Features the US No. 13 hit single What’s Your Name. (US:5 UK:13)
“Good hard southern rock with an attitude is all over this release. Three lead guitars assault the senses and the lead singer drives it all home.”
“It was a worthy goodbye to the original line-up. The second half veers too much from the country, hard rock, and down-home soul of their earlier records, in favour of blues-boogie, but the playing never lags.”
“The last album with Ronnie Van Zant on vocals, Street Survivors is also probably the last worthwhile Lynyrd Skynyrd release. An excellent way to close the Skynyrd era we know and love, even if it wasn't meant to end. Recommended for any rock collection.”
“Like previous recordings from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Street Survivors is loaded with down home, rebel flag wavin' blues rock.”
“Street Survivors is a very good, energetic Lynyrd Skynyrd album, with great guitar work all over it. While not as street fighter raw and ready as their earlier albums, it's a rowdy testimonial to the life of the band.”
“This album had to be the swan song for a great line-up of a great band. The addition of Steve Gaines gave them a shot in the arm both creatively and instrumentally. If it had not been for the unfortunate accident that ended it all, I believe they would have soared to new heights.”
