Second Helping is a 1974 album by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was the band's second album,
and featured their biggest hit single, "Sweet Home Alabama",
an answer song to Neil Young's "Southern Man" and "Alabama".
The song reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1974. Second Helping also featured
"The Ballad of Curtis Loew," "Don't Ask Me No Questions," "Workin' for MCA," and "Call Me the Breeze,"
the latter of which includes an acclaimed piano solo.
