FIRST TIME HEARING | Lynyrd Skynyrd - Call Me The Breeze

[@leesavick5885]

Southern Rock at it's finest

[@tommycaver6671]

Watch the speed limit if driving and listening to this 😊😂

[@tracyyork1428]

One of the greatest "driving" songs of all time. 😊

[@robertknapp8328]

That's why ROCK RULES

[@notablindliberal896]

Skynyrd is the sheet, Southern Rock Royalty. Thanks for the reaction.

[@Zeb-gb2uk]

Your smile told me all I need to know 👍😂✌️❤️ Billy Powell on piano

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Billy Powell the best wasn't he!

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

​@@JaquelineGoodspeedBilly Powell and Chuck Leavall...

[@richdiddens4059]

And in the live video of this song he plays almost the whole piano solo with only one hand.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

They were THE best Southern Rock band, and I’d venture to say they’re in the top 5 Rock bands, ever. They’re my personal favorite. Hardly anyone makes music like this anymore. People aren’t playing instruments anymore. It’s a shame.

[@Gordy63]

They make my top three for sure! Stones, Zeppelin and Skynyrd 🤘

[@tracyyork1428]

I would put Skynyrd in my all time top five. Van Zant wasn't the greatest singer or conventionally good looking, but he had a unique presence and an undeniable swag that elevated him to a top tier front man. Then there are the musicians, from the band's inception until the plane crash; each man was an absolute MASTER of his instrument. They wielded their guitars, piano, and drums as though they were weapons bonded to their bodies. Skynyrd was also well served by their producers, AL Cooper and (later) Tom Dowd. Cooper in particular taught them how to sound amazing on record, even if they didn't really get along.

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

Now you gotta check out the man that wrote this song, as well as After Midnight and Cocaine. . . Mr. JJ Cale!

[@dlewis5631]

Watch the live version at Knebworth in 1976!

[@danielmalo173]

Yes, yes,yes, check please please please JJ Cale

[@danielmalo173]

Yep, let check about this unique Artist, JJ Cale, merci Daniel

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Billy Powell is a master at piano! And this song highlights his mastery!

[@DixieBlue]

A excellent southern rock 'road song' is Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' with Disaster" 😁

[@6916dog]

🔥🔥🔥👍🔥🔥🔥

[@billc.5861]

The band on that song was Ronnie Van Zant. Vocals Gary Rossington. Lead guitar Allen Collins. Guitar Ed King Guitar Leon Wilson. Bass Bob Burns. Drums Billy Powell. Keyboards **Mr Billy Powell was so ridiculously good on the keys

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Greatest Band Ever

[@anthonybalistreri5226]

Can someone verify there are no horns on this track? If not, it's amazing how they can make the guitars sound like a brass section.

[@billc.5861]

Great question and I walked over to that album I’ve had sitting around for over 4 1/2 decades and yes there is horns - according to the notes Bobby Keys. - Trevor Lawrence & Steve Madiao played the horns on this song ** for extra bonus points the hand clap were done by the Producer Al Kooper and 7 other guys using nicknames. Now we’re both smarter in the useless trivia area. 😁

[@JulieConkle]

These guys started in high school together, and when they got serious, they had a shack in the swamps they called Hell House, and they spent hours on end there, no a/c, and perfected their sound. They really worked hard to become as good as they were, and so tragic they had such an end.

[@raynavarro7997]

Billy Powell was one of their roadies and they heard him messing around on the piano while he was setting the stage....they asked if he wanted to join the band!

[@Robcadams1974]

It's a shame their career was cut short due to tragedy after tragedy. They were so talented

[@Steve-xm2ie]

It's good to see you younger guys showing respect do these past greats. I'm 66 years old. I've seen and heard them all. There has never been music ever, that was better, from the mid-1950s to the early 1980s. The talent was absolutely incredible. Oh and by the way, that's when people actually played instruments. Long live American rock music, soul music, country music and especially the blues. Without the blues we would have had nothing! Keep up the good work guys.

[@suecook1326]

Next "T For Texas" live in 1976 at Knebworth. Their Free Bird that day was the best live performance since Ronnie pissed off Mick Jagger so bad by putting his guitar army on Mick's private catwalk for the solo. The Stones refused to come out for hours until the crowd settled down from their Skynyrd induced frenzy!

[@telukpaku4296]

This song never left my playlist😊

[@chystubin07]

The tightest southern rock band ever!

[@SGood54]

As my daughter says, "Anything Skynyrd."

[@stephenkittle6586]

Saw them twice !!😍🔥🎸🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐😢😢

[@lorcazola]

Freebird

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Somebody give the horns Sum!..😂❤

[@flyingburritobro68]

Gary Rossington with the great guitar solo!

[@jeffjones6221]

I'd suggest T for Tennessee (from skynyrd) live...

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love the reaction how fun was that? And I really appreciate the observation about multitasking because it's not always but so often the really amazing bands that reached so many people, they could all do multiple things really well. I mean and why would that not be good? It just stands to reason. It's just multiplies the possibilities so much.

[@JaDem148]

I love me my Skynyrd! Thanks guys! This was fun. Keep delving into them. My man on the right of my side of view is correct about some of the most diverse of musicians back then. When you're done with Skynyrd, I suggest that you dive into the rabbit hole known as, "Rush". It will definitely bring your channel views. Also, you'll discover your favorite drummer's favorite drummer. Neil Peart (RIP). You'll also discover one of rock's most renowned bass players, Geddy Lee. He was also the lead vocalist while handling keyboards and foot pedals. "Dance monkey dance!" OH yeah, The guitarist, Alex Lifeson, who formed the band with Geddy in his basement also ripped. He just got a wee bit over shadowed.

[@thorn2497]

🤔💭JJ Cale wrote this and many more! Check out "If You're ever in Oklahoma", "Crazy Momma", "Call the Doctor", "Cocaine"

[@pete3883]

J.J.Cale composed, Al Kooper produced ???

[@vangreen9098]

I seen them three times before the plane crash and my first ever concert was ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd on July 4, 1974 in Alabama and the modern Lynyrd Skynyrd is touring again in 2024 with ZZ Top and I have my April 6 tickets in Huntsville, Alabama… yeah I’m old lol 69 years and still love concerts!

[@LordEagle]

Dude,,,,your reaction was FANTASTIC,,,,,,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💥👍

[@ritayprice3510]

My favorite song of my all time favorite band.

[@sixslinger9951]

The whole Second Helping Album is a masterpiece of Southern Rock. From start to finish, there isn't a weak song on it.

[@gmarky81]

try the live at Knebworth 1976 version

[@babsfitton341]

New subscriber, like the channel. Keep on rockin 😁

[@stanpiers247]

"Call Me the Breeze" is a rock song by J. J. Cale. It first appeared on his 1972 debut album, Naturally, as the opening track. The song consists of a 12-bar blues guitar shuffle and features the early use of a drum machine.

[@wadehamlin]

Gary Rossington is so underrated.

[@truckinfool3550]

You should check out Got That Right, with Ronnie sharing lead vocals with guitarist Steve Gaines.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Written by fellow Tulsa , Oklahoma boy JJ Cale. One of Eric Clapton's closest friend and fellow musician.

[@thelasticonoclast9467]

Speeding ticket music!

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Skynard was a great great band, lots of super songs. JJ Cale wrote this, and also Cocaine, After Midnight, and bunch of tunes others covered. JJ's made lots of albums. JJ's the lowest low key guy ever, but if you like, you'll really like him. He scratches an itch you might not know you've got.

[@danielmalo173]

Let go, take a choice to Mr Cale

[@srt8rocketship241]

Everytime , Everytime. Masters of that sweet guitar driven Southern Rock.

[@ErinsEnergy313]

If you like this, you must do, "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their best song besides Freebird imho. Much love!

[@fredtello]

Next "T For Texas"

[@jimallison6125]

Jacksonville, Fl. finest.

[@fotosbyduane]

You’ll love “The Ballad of Curtis Lowe”.

[@WandaDodson-n7f]

Love skynrd

[@jwmson7791]

Rossington!!!!! ♥️ R.I.P. to those gone. You all certainly left your mark.

[@SQUATCHY614]

Deep Purple Machine Head album especially Highway Star song. What a traveling jam.

[@maureenloftus6717]

This is a JJ Cale song … this version is considerably faster and grittier than the original. They both have a lot to recommend them… I sang a sort of hybrid of the two interpretations when I was in a band, years ago ❤️😇

[@danielmalo173]

Mister Breeze, it is Mr JJ Cale

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

Simple Man , Freebird ; Tuesday’s Gone and Ballard of Curtis Leow should be next..

[@SQUATCHY614]

I - 95 and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Drive through the Carolina’s jamming. Turned it loud put the cruise on if not your getting a ticket.

[@kathleenfarraher9894]

It's funny , my Sisters first hang glider was a dinare and her glider was called the Breeze

[@The1BlackKrow]

Every time I catch a speeding ticket this song is on - predisposition of Lead-foot-itis. Kicks in every time.

[@chrispredsfan]

Check out freebird live in Oakland in 1977.

[@chrismoody1342]

There is just no way to sit still listening to this music. You what jump up slap your knees and stomp your feet. Whoo wee !!

[@fortunate14t48]

Road trip song and a trip to the corner store! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

T for Texas, live at the 1976 Knebworth festival in England. You’re welcome.

[@Gordy63]

Best Southern Rock band ever IMO! Not sure if you checked this one out yet, but I recommend T for Texas off their live album “One More From the Road”

[@midnightrambler7716]

There’s a great live YT video of this on the British show, The Old Grey Whistle Test from about 1975 or so.

[@alanlucio3442]

This song is at the top of everyone in my road trip playlist

[@polyscroll]

Road Trip Song? Hell Yeah!!! With the "pedal to the metal".

[@RodneyLivingston]

Great Reaction to a Great Song!

[@carnivoroussoupspoon]

when you play music because you love music you get Lynyrd Skynyrd, when you play music because you love money you get Miley Cyrus

[@marysenini1581]

You are right. Sweet Home Alabama was one they were known for.❤

Don't let the older gentleman be a bad influence, young man, U got all life for that.

[@johncassidy2685]

Damn I wish they were still here playing today

[@timyaowen6420]

You gotta hear the live version. All Skynyrd songs are better recorded on stage live vs studio recordings.

[@MRBrien77]

I was on the road last year for 3 months and this was my traveling song

Artimus Pyle laying down the beat, Gary Rossington tearing the guitar up, and Billy Powell on ivory. Ronnie Van Zant telling you about it. Most of Billy's solo is played one handed.

That was Bob Burns on drums. Artimus Pyle replaced Bob in 75.
