There are a lot of albums out there that play on the rock opera concept, with the story running through the album, so given the title of this album, it does exactly what is says on the box.
This was a great album, long, at over 94 minutes, but great. The theme was really good and worked nicely all the way through, as the story unfolds you can see it’s about someone who wants to be a rock legend, and how being from Alabama has influenced them.
With references to Alabama’s history, including Govenor Wallace. There were also so many mentions of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and particularly Ronnie Van Zant, that it was obvious that this was a bit of an homage to them and the influence they had on music from the South.
It was a really great concept album, with some tracks being narrative storylines over music, others from the perspective of different people, including the Devil. I really enjoyed it.
