Steve Gaines wrote "I Know a Little" on his own, words and music, and it sits on Street Survivors, Lynyrd Skynyrd's fifth studio album, released October 17, 1977. It was the only Skynyrd studio record Gaines ever played on, and here he's one of three guitarists alongside Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, with Ronnie Van Zant singing, Billy Powell on keyboards, Leon Wilkeson on bass and Artimus Pyle on drums and percussion. Tom Dowd produced and Rodney Mills mixed.
Three days after the album came out, the band's chartered plane went down on its way to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing Van Zant, Gaines and his older sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines, along with the pilot, co-pilot and the assistant road manager. It's hard to hear a song with this much swagger without thinking about everything that ended that week.
