DIED. Three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, raucous rock group that called its music "Southern raunchy roll"; when their chartered airplane crashed in a swamp near McComb, Miss. Among the six people killed were Lead Singer Ronnie Van Zant, Guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie, a vocalist with the group. All three were 28.

Together they produce yet another collection of tight riffs--some might call them predictable--with a steady bass company and a highly-amplified guitar sound, usually controlled just short of distortion. They are not virtuosos in the mold of Cream members with their constant technical competition...
