The two new songs on this collection are the slower, harder numbers "SDMF" and "Doomsday, Inc.". The collection from his days on the Spitfire label goes from blues-chugging Southern boogie ("Losing Your Mind"), to hard driving Pantera-like thrash ("Bleed for Me") to acoustic pieces best illustrate how his versatility meets his virtuosity ("TAZ" and "Takillya"). He's no one-trick-pony and "King of Damnation: Era 1998-2004" showcases the best of his varied interests. His guitar for the Prince of Darkness works largely within a mainstream framework while his solo playing and writing often showcase an entirely different side. Zakk's work as guitarist for Ozzy and his solo work are two completely different beasts. Between the roaring road song that opens the album ("Train") and the weary road song that closes it ("Headed South"), Van Zant balance down-home party rockers such as "Goes Down Easy" and "It's Only Money" with the more serious balladry of "We Can't Do It Alone" (a spiritual sequel of sorts to "Get Right With the Man"), "That Scares Me," and "The Hardest Thing." Though the title song is little more than a banjo-laced string of country clichés and "These Colors Don't Run" is a patriotic bumper sticker, this solid sophomore effort should win the brotherly duo more country fans. Quality: HQ VBR Mp3 / 44,1Khz / Joint-Stereoīrothers Johnny (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Donnie (.38 Special) Van Zant have made a home for themselves at the intersection of Southern rock and contemporary country, all but blurring the boundary.
