Skynyrd's Innyrds: Their Greatest Hits comes close to being a solid single-disc overview of the Southern rockers' biggest hits, but it falls short in a number of important ways. Most notably, "Free Bird" is not in either its studio or live incarnations; it's presented as an outtake, something that will only be of interest to hardcore
Lynyrd Skynyrd fans, just like the outtake of "Double Trouble". Also, several major songs - "Down South Jukin'", "You Got That Right", "Whiskey Rock-a-Roller", "Simple Man", "Tuesday's Gone", "I Know a Little" - are missing, with album cuts in their place. That said, it has most of the big hits - "
Sweet Home Alabama", "
Gimme Three Steps", "
Saturday Night Special", "
What's Your Name", "
That Smell", plus "Workin' for MCA" and "
Call Me the Breeze", which were not on Gold & Platinum - which is enough to make it a good sampler, even if it doesn't provide as complete an introduction as Gold & Platinum.
