“An excellent look at a band whose creative evolution was tragically cut short.” —Booklist
John Haury said Broken Bottles and Wrecked Cars. How this book ever made it past verification and fact-checkers is a feat of nimble literary trickery beyond anything I have ever had the displeasure to read. Wrought full of illogical speculation, fractured truths and timelines, gross neglect and horrendous mistakes, misquotes and blatant research errors, and an obvious personal agenda and unambiguous effort to deface and insult anything and everything that is even remotely associated with what is commonly referred to as the American South - most notably the residents, their education, and their stereotypical way of life - even the discourteous and disrespectful descriptive metaphors. Amazon Customer said Lord knows I can't unread this book!. To paraphrase both the classic and current editions of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lord knows I can’t unread this book. If not for the author’s stunning lack of research, unfamiliarity with his subject and clear agenda to manufacture controversy where little controversy previously existed, Whiskey Bottles and Brand new Cars would wholly unmemorable. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.For starters, look at Mr. Ribowsky’s research listed in the bibliography. For what he calls the definitive biography of Lynyrd Skynyrd, he interviewed exactly eight people. That’s right, eight, and of those at least five had been fired .

Don't waste your time and money.
The rudderless genius behind their ascent was a man named Ronnie Van Zant, who guided their five-year run and evolved not just a new country/rock idiom but a new Confederacy in constant conflict with old Southern totems and prejudices. It gives a new perspective to a history of stage fights, motel-room destructions, cunning business deals, and brilliant studio productions, offering a greater appreciation for a band that, in the aftermath of its last plane ride, has sadly descended into self-caricature as the sort of lowbrow guns-’n’-God cliché that Ronnie Van Zant wanted to chuck from around his neck. No other book on Southern rock has ever captured the “Free Bird”–like sweep and significance of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Placing the music and personae of L
