Lynyrd Skynyrd had already fulfilled a good deal of their promise on definitive Southern-rock albums such as Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd and the live One More From the Road when they stepped up their ambition a few more notches for the October 1977 release Street Survivors.

The shadow of death he detected on "That Smell" was closer than perhaps even he thought, however: three days after the album's appearance in stores, he was killed along with five others in a Mississippi crash of the group's tour plane. Street Survivors remains a classic of American guitar rock. --Rickey Wright weniger
