Like its predecessor, Rockin' 70's, Vol. 2 is simply much too random in its assembly to come even within striking distance of capturing the decade's musical spirit, serving instead as just another excuse for MCA to repackage the contents of its vaults; the curious track listing includes material from
Three Dog Night ("An Old Fashioned Love Song"),
Rose Royce ("Car Wash"),
Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods ("Billy, Don't Be a Hero"), and of course
Lynyrd Skynyrd (with -- you guessed it -- "Free Bird"). ~ Jason Ankeny
