One in the Sun is credited as the only solo album by Steve Gaines, best known as a guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd.[3] It was recorded with Crawdad band mates at Leon Russell's Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and at Capricorn studios in Macon, Georgia, in 1975. It was released in 1988 by MCA Records, 11 years after Gaines' death in the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash.[4] Crawdad had been a working band for some time and all the material had been performed onstage prior to being recorded. Gaines had previously worked with all the members of Crawdad in other bands, some of which included Magic Kitchen, Man Alive, and Detroit.
