With 4 members from Lynyrd Skynyrd this band continued a southern rock-saga that began in 1973 and ended in 1977 with a planecrash that killed 3 of Lynyrd Skynyrds members. Gary, Allen, Leon and Billy from LS released this album, mostly with Dale on vocals but also Barry sings a few songs. The music is traditional southern rock but with a typical 70's-beginning of the 80's style of rock with a melodic touch that I really like.

Dale Krantz had been a back-up singer for 38 Special before joining this band and in 1982 she married Gary Rossington. Allen Collins surived the plane crash in 1977 but his pregnant wife died in 1980 and another girlfriend died in 1986 in a car crash in which Collins drove the car under influence and hemself got paralyzed from the waist down. He died in 1990. Leon Wilkeson died in 2001. Billy Powell died of a heart attack in 2009.

1)Prime time (8,0) A good rockin' kick off!

2)Three times as bad (8,0) A soulful powerballad with strong vocals.

3)Don't misunderstand me (8,0) Co-vocals with Dale and Barry. Wonderful driving rhythm and just a good song!

4)One good man (8,0) Slow heavy rocker with Dale on topform on vocals. A song with great feeling and a refrain that sends chills down the spine.

5)Opportunity (8,0) A very good rocker with nice guitarsolos and variation in the song.

6)Getaway (8,0) A slow rocker with sensitive and good singing.

7)Winners and losers (7,0) Another slow rocker with a honky-tonk-break.

8)Misery loves company (7,5) Slow start that goes into a good refrain and mixes that way all through.

9)Sometimes you can put it out (7,5)

Score: 7,78
