If you think about Lynyrd Skynyrd chances are its the song Sweet Home Alabama and it is their most iconic and well known song. It was a song written as a diss track to Neil Young but it has a lot more to it. Also if this is the only song you know than you are missing out and need to hear this album.

For a debut album there are many pit falls when it comes to releasing a debut album. Will we be able to carve out our own sound or will it replicate our bands that influenced us? Will it shine or fall wayside? It's hard to tell in this day and age but I can say that Hands Of Goro is one of the few debut EP's that really shines while mixing their influences with their own style of music. Tune in to hear my thoughts.

Hands Of Goro - Hands Of Goro EP

Tune in to hear my thoughts on the album.
