The 1981 Listening Post - Rossington Collins Band - This is the Way

 Rossington Collins Band - This is the Way



#508

October 1981

Rossington Collins Band

This is the Way

Genre: Southern Rock

2.75 out of 5




Highlights:

Gotta Get it Straight




It’s weird. Every song sort of sounds like something else. “Gonna Miss It When It’s Gone” calls to mind “With a Little Help from My Friends” but isn’t a cover nor is it really an interpolation. Same for “Tashauna”, which could be a ton of Skynrd songs. In fact, much of this record feels like left over ideas from a lost Skynrd record. 

Guys, there will only be one song called “Don’t Stop Me Now”, doing this is only going to call comparisons. 


I want a band called Rossington Collins Band to either be the house band for a late night talk show hosted by someone named Rossington Collins or I want it to be a big band swing ensemble.
