for them.
Do you have a list anywhere of all the songs and albums you played on with Skynyrd? Below is a list of songs I am credited with playing bass on, and some I also did back- ground vocals. It's difficult to list every re- lease I am on as there are a lot of compilations.
Songs: One More Time; Preacher's Daughter; White Dove.; Comin' Home; The Seasons; Lend A Helpin' Hand; I Ain't The One; You Run Around; Ain't Too Proud To Pray; Wino (Wino was a song I originally wrote in Black- foot that RM helped on with lyrics. Ronnie and Allen added more parts to the song which were great so now there were four writers on the song and that was fine with me, their parts made it better. In 1975 I received a call from one of the producers in Muscle Shoals to let me know these and other songs recorded a few years earlier were going to be on a new album. The most important reason he called was to verify who wrote, played and sang on each song. He had the original track sheets and we went down the list song by song and everything he had was correct for my parts. There were two other songs I had originally recorded but Ed King came in after me and played a new bass track - and he did a mighty fine job. Between the time of this conversa- tion and when the album was finally released, my name had mysteriously disappeared from the writer's credits. My name had also been removed for background vocals. Hmmmm. Two of these tracks were only RM and me singing the entire song, with everyone's bless- ing, of course. Twenty years later my name fi- nally appeared with vocal credits on a re-release but never the writing credit. You think I got screwed? Jakson Spires co-wrote four songs and never got credit.
Albums/CDs: This is a partial list and in no
particular order; Street Survivors; Skynyrd's First and Last; Gold and Platinum; LS Boxed Set; All Time Greats. There are another six to eight but are compilations, best of, etc. and released by independent labels under a li- cense, some with new packaging or cover art. These contain songs from all the catalog up to when that particular release came out, and I may be on one track, nine tracks on another and anything between on the remainder.
What’s next for Greg T? Call it luck or timing, it's interesting you asked this question and it could not have come at a better time. Just three days ago (as of right now) I announced my brand new project called "Two Wolf."We have been re- hearsing, selecting material from our catalogs and working on new material. The response has been overwhelming and quite humbling from friends and fans around the world. Of- fers starting coming in from promoters here and in Europe within the first twelve hours which surprised all of us. "Two Wolf" is: Brad Sayer/Lead Guitar and Lead Vocal; Tommy Curiale/Drums; Jimmy Sexton/Lead Guitar and Vocals; and me, just the bass player and vocals. I have a lot of work to do in order to keep up with these guys!! We could not be happier with the results already and are ex- cited beyond words about touring in 2015. We want to acknowledge and give special
thanks to our team members so far. Our Point Man is Rogerrocksovertheworld; Graphics by Sophie Armatol and Web Design/Hosting by Olivier Lefevre. There are others who have been very instrumental behind the scenes we will tell you about soon. Thank you, Michael Buffalo Smith, my friend and brother.
Thank you very much Greg, for sharing your time and your thoughts. •
