Produktbeschreibungen
Mit Knüllern wie "Sweet Home Alabama", "Workin' for MCA" und dem von J.J. Cale geschriebenen "Call Me the Breeze" fängt Skynyrds zweites Werk genau den Punkt ein, an dem die Band aus Jacksonville, Florida, auf dem Höhepunkt ihres Könnens steht und von ihrem Erfolgserlebnis mit "Free Bird" und "Gimme Three Steps" von ihrem Debüt aus dem Jahre 1973 kommt. Eine drahtige Rhythmusgruppe und die kraftvollen, aggressiven drei Gitarristen Allen Collins, Ed King und Gary Rossington stützen den Sänger Ronnie Van Zant(in den Anmerkungen zu dem Album als "Vocals, J&B" angekündigt), der eine legendäre Darbietung bei der packenden Bluesballade "I Need You", dem warnenden "The Needle and the Spoon" und "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe", der Geschichte eines weißen Jungen, der zu Füßen eines alten schwarzen Dobro-Meisters sitzt. Zusammen mit "Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd" und "One More from the Road" bleibt Second Helping Skynyrds beste Stunde. --James Rotondi
Second Helping helped define and create the Southern rock movement

One of the finest of the Southern rock bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1974 album follows the success of "Free Bird" and "Gimme Three Steps" from their 1973 debut and features their biggest hit single, "Sweet Home Alabama", an answer song to Neil Young's "Southern Man" and "Alabama". The song reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1974. Second Helping also featured "Don't Ask Me No Questions," "Workin' for MCA," and "Call Me the Breeze," the latter of which includes an acclaimed piano solo.
Backed by a tight rhythm section and the mighty three-guitar attack of Allen Collins, Ed King, and Gary Rossington, singer Ronnie Van Zant turns in a legendary performance on the urgent blues ballad "I Need You," the cautionary "The Needle and the Spoon," and "The Ballad of Curtis Loew,"
With its fine writing and playing, and scores of hard-hitting Southern rock riffs and grooves,
Second Helping captures the band at the height of its powers and assured Skynyrd's ascendancy to rock stardom and FM radio immortality.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote the book on Southern rock with their first album, so it only made sense that they followed it for their second album, aptly titled Second Helping. Sticking with producer Al Kooper (who, after all, discovered them), the group turned out a record that replicated all the strengths of the original, but was a little tighter and a little more professional. It also revealed that the band, under the direction of songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, was developing a truly original voice. Of course, the band had already developed their own musical voice, but it was enhanced considerably by Van Zant's writing, which was at turns plainly poetic, surprisingly clever, and always revealing. Though Second Helping isn't as hard a rock record as Pronounced, it's the songs that make the record. "Sweet Home Alabama" became ubiquitous, yet it's rivaled by such terrific songs as the snide, punkish "Workin' for MCA," the Southern groove of "Don't Ask Me No Questions," the affecting "The Ballad of Curtis Loew," and "The Needle and the Spoon," a drug tale as affecting as their rival Neil Young's "Needle and the Damage Done," but much harder rocking. This is the part of Skynyrd that most people forget — they were a great band, but they were indelible because that was married to great writing. And nowhere was that more evident than on Second Helping.
