I was going to say this one as well.

That could very well be the best guitar solos from any song.

It’s like a sampler of killer southern rock licks all in one song

Here's another little known Southern Rock gem with some great solos.

Mama's Pride broke out regionally and toured with Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, The Oulaws and others. Ronnie Van Zandt was set to produce their next album, but The Freebird went down and their shot at the big, big time passed away with him.

Dirty shame when you hear good shite like this...

Where does one begin? No particular order. Just a sampler.

1) Anything by Skynyrd (GOAT) is gold. T for Texas (live) - guitar madness begins around 4 minutes
2) Ramblin Man - love this version. Dickie never played it better.
3) Can't You See - Toy Caldwell
4) Dust My Broom - Johnny Winter/Derek Trucks
5) Nasty Dogs and Funky KingsBilly doing Billy things

The 3-minute solo in Blue Sky is probably my favorite guitar solo of all time.

I agree 100%. The live version of T For Texas off the album One More From the Road is absolutely incredible !

Best live album ever.

Blue Sky solo is amazing. Even knowing when Dickie joins in (2:28) and Duane drops out (2:37) it is so smooth and seamless that I can't pick it out when listening.

Read an interview where Derek Trucks said the same thing… now that’s some mighty big praise.

Etc: some incredibly bad grammmerr

While it’s not “Green Grass and High Tides” or “Free Bird”, I will jam “Flirtin’ with Disaster” any day. Electric high tempo southern rock guitar. Fast and furious song.

Call me the breeze solo by Gary rossington is incredible. Same album working for MCA Ed Kings solo is killer (the first solo before the unison guitars outro).

I like the OPs entry a lot too, I think Duane’s solo comes right after which is just a great guitar song.

ETA: that’s backwards, Duane takes the first solo, Dickie takes the second solo
