Second Helping is the second studio album by Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on April 15, 1974. It features the band`s biggest hit single, `Sweet Home Alabama`, an answer song to Neil Young`s `Alabama` and `Southern Man`,[2] which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1974.

Second Helping reached #12 on the Billboard album charts. The RIAA certified it Gold on September 20, 1974, and Double Platinum on July 21, 1987.[3]

Background
After the success of their debut album, (Pronounced `Lĕh-`nérd `Skin-`nérd), Lynyrd Skynyrd`s fan base continued to grow rapidly throughout 1973, largely due to their opening slot on the Who`s Quadrophenia tour in the United States. Second Helping features Ed King, Allen Collins, and Gary Rossington all collaborating with Ronnie Van Zant on the songwriting, and cemented the band`s breakthrough.
