AMG Review of Chronicles

All Music Guide

This Lynyrd Skynyrd three-disc package features three of Skynyrd's best records, all packaged with their original CD artwork in a specially priced single-box set. The landmark Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd is presented here in deluxe edition form with bonus tracks -- a plus for those who missed out on the expanded edition set the first time around. The other discs, Nuthin' Fancy and Second Helping, add some important songs to the Skynyrd legacy, including the epic "Sweet Home Alabama." While a greatest-hits collection may be the way to go for listeners just diving into the Skynyrd sound, longtime fans may appreciate having these three discs so crucial to the band's career in one accessible package.
