These guys have convinced me that my old view that there is “white” music and “black” music was wrong: there’s only music that means something to you or doesn’t. How great is it that these guys love this song - it blows away my stereotypes. Thank God.

[@johnp.smithasimpleman7281]

Hank Jr once said I don't judge music by the label thats put on it but by how good it sounds

[@urimaginarystar]

Music is universal in bringing people together. I have been to concerts outside of the United States where there were different races and different languages, and for those moments when we are all vibing to the music, nothing else matters but the music.

[@kevingilligan139]

There's no such thing as race either. It's in everyone's head.

While recoding this, the producer said he didn't like and it will never be memorable. Ronnie(singer) escorted him to his car and said you are done for the day. Then went in and the band finished the song.

Shortly after the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and guitarist Gary Rossington's mother died, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them. Rossington came up with a chord progression, and Van Zant wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years. They wrote it in about an hour. Legendary tune, great choice 🤘

[@patrickjohnson1172]

My mother sat me down when I was 12 years old, and told me that this song contains everything that you need to know to me a real man. I had heard it all my life, but it was the first time that I had really taken the time to really listen. I am now 47 years old, and my mom is at this moment lying in hospice. Having her make me sit and listen to this song in the context it was meant, is probably the most important thing she ever did in raising me. The more people are exposed to songs and messages that are this important it would be a better planet to live on. I love you so much, mom! Rest easy knowing you have raised a Simple Man. Thank you for making me the man I am today.

[@nostrathomas2437]

I remember waking up to go to school that day in 1977 and the local morning TV news had the story of the plane crash the night before that killed Ronnie, Steve and Cassie and seriously injured most of the band . Being in Florida it was all anybody was talking about in school and we were all shellshocked , to Florida kids at that time Skynyrd were gods. The original lineup only made 4 albums but damn what a great 4 albums. Sadly most of the members that survived the crash have passed on too now. Great reaction guys, glad you appreciate the genius of a band that didn’t always get the credit they deserved! Peace

[@92ford13]

Nostra Thomas yeah man it's sad what happened to them I watched a lot of documentaries about the crash, I definitely wasn't alive to see these guys but me and my dad love listening to this song and other ones from them when the sun is setting and we are sitting by the fire or when we're down at my uncles in Florida we load up into a Polaris and go adventuring farms

[@NLBrown-gz2qe]

Great Story, would have loved to been around then. But 4? I thought they had six albums from 73-77? Pronounced, Second Helping, Nuthin Fancy, Gimme Back My Bullets, on from the road, and street survivors

[@UncleRandy73]

Nathan Brown “Original lineup” is the keyword.

[@NLBrown-gz2qe]

Randy S well the first album wasn’t the original lineup

[@nostrathomas2437]

Nathan Brown yeah my bad , wasn’t counting the double live album but yeah I guess I was subconsciously giving them a mulligan for “Gimme Back my Bullets “ that was their artistic expression album that bands always seem to make once they get established. Ronnie and Gary said in an interview after the album didn’t do well, that they made the album with the band having complete control in the studio and they got too cute for their own good and on Street Survivors they got back to being Lynyrd Skynyrd. So yeah 5 but 4 fantastic albums and 1 good album ...haha..plus I was around back then so I can blame it on me getting a little senile 🙃

[@jarhead03xx37]

I saw their Last concert, October 19th, 1977, at Greenville Memorial in SC. The last song Ronnie sang, on "Encore'" was "Free Bird". The next night at work, I heard the tragic news of the Plane crash in Gilsburg, MS. It was Very 😢 Sad and Shocking. Just the night before, I had stood down front and watched my favorite band. I had stood in front of Steve Gaines, guitarist, close enough to make eye contact on Wednesday night. Suddenly Thursday October 20th, history changed. RIP ! 😢 I retained my ticket stub to this day. Thank you guys for the review! Skynyrd was an awesome band and Ronnie was genius as a band leader and lyricist. Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, & Ronnie Van Zant were killed in the crash, as well as the pilot and Co-pilot. Also killed was assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick. The plane had lost fuel and went down. Thank God for their music and recordings. They live on.

The Skynyrd band was on the verge of becoming a world wide known band when they had their fatal crash in 77' Give their LP Street Survivors a listen; it came out a mere three days before the crash, and as deceased singer Ronnie Van Zant said, "our best yet." Matter of fact, every LP up to that one is great too. These guys were incredible musicians and could play their asses off. Tragic story as all but one original member has passed, but they're one of the finest rock bands ever. Ronnie was the heartbeat of the band and an incredible lyricist who wrote for the common man. I know You guys love Chris Stapleton, well, he loved Skynyrd and was influenced by them as was Jason Isbell. You'd be wise to listen to every LP up to this one. After that it all changed.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

It's always crazy to me when I think that that fateful day happened in 1977. That was 41 years ago. They were the Jimi Hendrix of Southern Rock in that they accomplished so much in such a short time. They have about 20 hit songs I can think of off hand and they all came out within such a short period. RIP to Ronnie and everyone else who died in that place crash.

[@just_another_villain]

Just saw their farewell performance in Jacksonville. The music still rings true even without the originals being around. Gary Rossington can still play, that's for sure. Johnny is no Ronnie as far as front men go, but the band still jammed especially Rickey Medlocke. Street Survivors was their best album top to bottom, but I've always held Simple Man up as their best single.

The Ballad of Curtis Lowe ...Off Second helping album,,,, brings me to tears

[@arthurbishop3173]

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@amyntut]

Every time I hear this song it makes me cry. Ronnie was truly one of the best songwriters , and he never had to write them down .

[@jeffbruner4875]

Curtis Loew you will understand so much about them

[@zaoisgood]

Still my favorite Skynyrd song.

[@FrantifaSuperSoldier]

I wish I could like this comment 100 times

[@underthetrees4780]

Not my favorite Skynyrd song, but for this purpose it's a great recommendation

[@marksage309]

Excellent choice!!! I love that song.

[@sugamotomagasaki7109]

you beat me to it lol its my favorite song from this band and i was about to ask " are u serious? never heard curtis loew?"

[@jaymeyer2304]

Whipping Post by The Allman Brothers is another one that really cuts deep into the heart of anyone who has been cheated on by the one they loved. It’s rhythm and blues meets blue grass.

[@jacobfulton8698]

Made me think of the Allman brothers too I was thinking ''One Way Out''

[@jaymeyer2304]

Jacob Fulton another great song. But it’s the exact opposite of whipping post. It’s about escaping before you get caught with the guy’s wife vs your wife cheating on you haha

[@bigol9223]

What is bluegrass about Whipping Post?

[@jaymeyer2304]

Rup Tratin It was just a convenient and short way to combine southern rock and blues in a description. I know there’s no banjo player so it’s technically not bluegrass.

[@dhculver24]

STATESBORO BLUES!!!

[@levonnaletts7035]

I love you guys. I like the fact that yall enjoy all genres of music. Proves that music is universal and a unifying force.

[@southernbelle193]

Had the honor to meet these guys in person. Spent about 15 minutes with them. Down to earth, good souls.

[@NuOrder11]

One of the greatest bands of all time!!!

[@jessespencer7333]

NuOrder11 The best!

[@tradejack3430]

Arguably the best of all time. It doesn't get more Real, Honest or Organic . In there time after the first album most bands flamed out or the A&R guys fu@k them up with bad ideas or the wrong producers etc.

[@melissanevin5034]

My husband got to see these in 1977 and told me they just killed it. He also told me how hot it was that day in Philly . Also remembers his sunburn too! 💚🦅🏈

[@bobbierobinson6269]

Along with The Eagles and CCR you have the top 3 of the 70s. That's bands though, then you have singles, duets, groups, etc...

[@DuBstep115]

Such a easy to listen song and even tho i am from Europe, it makes me cry stars and stripes.

[@nerijusvilcinskas7851]

You don't need to be American to understand beauty of this music, imho.

[@Colstonewall]

Love your comment! Very interesting way to put it, and I think you were exactly right. It is simply, "American."

[@DuBstep115]

And not just any American, but Southern United States sitting in porch smoking cigar and looking at the fields.

[@jeffstorey9147]

We’ll take you bro, come on over and get some BBQ and sweet tea, you can stay with me.

[@Datníğğa123]

The southern states are allot more patriotic wish I could experience that but I live in backwards ass California

[@Semperfi2011]

That’s what used to come out of the South before it was commercialized, mis-characterized and mis-represented.

[@steveol9782]

You just reacted to one of the greatest songs ever written!!

[@Bob1014ify]

The story goes that Al Kooper, the producer, said that he couldn't believe that they wanted to add this song to the album. Ronnie Van Zant, the singer, supposedly escorted Kooper out of the studio and the band recorded and mixed the song.

[@jamesarnold3987]

Ballad of Curtis Loew!

[@stevenjones2570]

Southern rock at its finest, I cry every time I hear it bc it was played at my uncles (hells angel) funeral

[@davidburleson1706]

You know Willy Nelson wrote Angel flying too close to the ground for a Hell's Angel that passed away also. #SUPPORTYOURLOCALREDANDWHITE!!!!

[@ameliamorris7673]

Ronnie Van Zant had a voice that was like no other. Gone too soon

[@stormyermatinger6295]

Tuesday's Gone is probably my favorite by them. It's hard for me to listen too sometimes cuz it was played at my sister's funeral. I think you guys would love it though. It's another one that tugs at your heart strings. I appreciate all that y'all do! I've watched other reaction channels and yours is always the one I come back for and I believe that it's because you guys are so relatable and hilarious. You always put a smile on my face and sometimes you open my eyes and ears to new ways of interpreting and listening to songs I already love and that's awesome. Keep it up guys! Y'all are the best!

[@busybee4436]

I concur about Tuesday's Gone. It never fails to rip my heart out when I hear it.

[@BlsBls-gr1ll]

Stormy Ermatinger every time I hear Tuesday’s gone I think of happy Gilmore lol

[@NefariousKoel]

"Tuesday's Gone" is amazing. Anyone enjoying 'Simple Man' would love it.. possibly even more so.

[@donnaregister6141]

STORMY ERMATINGER I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffbuckley4453]

Tuesday's gone is my jam!!!

[@jerryandrews3699]

Skynyrd is a legend. They are the backbone of Southern Rock. Its hard not to LOVE everything in the catalog. Free Bird is a great so but so is Curtis Lowe, Gimme Three Steps, it's just an amazing band. When that plane went down, it just took so much from us. I love them, always have.

[@ayeewtasko2601]

Alice In Chains - Nutshell (Unplugged)!!

[@AvioftheSand]

Yes please! So much better than "Love, Hate, Love."

[@crazyaboutnature]

I actually would prefer they do the album version.

[@fidacuca]

Gotta be Unplugged.

[@OlGrim9]

@@crazyaboutnature Both are great, but the fact he can sound just as great live as on the album is awesome

[@Mike_A_]

Agreed

[@2guncorky235]

When i turned 16 years old my mom sat me down and played this song for me and it has always brought me to tears hearing it. I love how much these guys felt the emotion in this song too. A mama's love is simply unmatched by anything else in this world.

[@michellepellomsanders4155]

My ALL-TIME FAVORITE band! Ronnie Van Zant was a true legend and master lyricist! My two all-time favorite Skynyrd songs are “All I Can Do Is Write About It” and “If I’m Wrong” both lesser known unless you’re a die hard fan. Give those a listen my music fanatic brothers you’ll be glad you did!

[@brentcharlton4287]

add Mr.Banker as well.

[@michaeledwards6683]

Good choice. "Was I Right Or Wrong" is another great one. Their emotional balads are the best.

[@dustinmcardle5639]

My all time favorite is “on the hunt”

[@petethepirate730]

The lyrics to this song are a guide to living a good life. Be humble. Be happy in what you do. You will be ok.

[@randymiller4741]

The ballad of Curtis Lowe by Skynyrd you should definitely check it out

[@madisongoad9691]

YAS!!! I second this!!!

[@porthos76]

This is my favorite Skynyrd song.

[@sonofwilliam86]

Need to do Tuesdays Gone by them! Such a sick song

[@thomasgriffenkranz4136]

You've got to check out "Whipping Post" from the Allman Brothers.

[@marksherrick]

Gotta do the studio version though, I don't think they wanna make a 45 minute video.

[@thomasgriffenkranz4136]

@@marksherrick You're probably right but the solo in the live version is killer.

[@jameskresl]

One of the great ones.

[@Freedum_Fries]

I want Chris Stapleton to do a cover of this. Shinedown Does a great cover, but I know Chris would kill it!!!!!

[@jeremylilly1054]

This version is better than Shinedown, but a Stapleton version would be interesting

Talk about words to live by! Every kid from 10 to 18 should be sat down on his birthday every and have to listen to this.

[@Wolfenstein3000]

So....when you guys gonna listen to some Creedance? CCR is one of those bands that's almost impossible to not enjoy.

[@ellogovna5659]

Southern and Blues influenced band.

[@ckindle94]

StepmasterSpoony Run through the jungle🤘🏼

[@awookieandagerman]

I’ve never met anyone willing to dislike CCR. How do you hate on Proud Mary? Up Around The Bend? Bad Moon Risin’? Skynyrd’s very similar in that regard.

[@ryanhanson9631]

someday never comes

[@calebturner405]

Midnight Special, Run Through The Jungle, Green River, and Fortunate Son are among their more popular, and I love pretty much anything by CCR

[@lowstryder1022]

[@joenobody8996]

If they do it... it’ll be.... very interesting.... to say the least! I’d love to hear their response for sure!!!

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

Hope they do this song, but I know that Rick Beato got a copyright strike when he deconstructed Roundabout on his channel. Seems weird, since there are TONS of videos featuring the complete, uninterrupted song on KZbin. I think LIV's method of cutting songs must be better, because they managed to post a reaction to Led Zeppelin, the most relentless KZbin copyright hawks of all time.

[@michelebrady3123]

This song was dedicated from my Mom to my brother at his funeral. I love it so much but can't listen to it without crying. I just had to see your reaction to it though. Crazy the way music can connect you in such a deep way.

[@bobwood63]

I just love watching you guys react to music. When you like something instantly it shows in your faces and when your struggling you always look like you’re listening really closely and trying to find a redeeming element in the song (DT Metropolis). Keep it up guys and RUSH - Freewill!!!! Do it!!!

[@mvunit3]

My most fave guitar solo from Lerxt, and what Ged is doing "behind" it . . . DAMN! :D

[@jodilong5764]

My favorite is when George and Ryan get a stinkface without pausing, you know they're vibing hard and the pause is coming lmfao

"That Smell" is another favorite of their's

[@reemclaughlin4260]

OMG how did I forget that one!? My Mom used to tell me the puff of smoke that traveled with me in high school was 'that smell'!

[@malissarico407]

Tuesday's Gone, my personal favorite lynard skynard song. I love how open y'all are. My playlist is similar. Music is a gateway to the soul, mind, & body. So, I enjoy all the flavors. Great job 👏

I think you dudes will love Curtis Lowe by them.

[@jamesg872]

I don't know about others, but growing up we didn't have a lot at times. This song is so deep in humility and acceptance. And of course I can't help but think about long lost elders who helped raise me and wishing they were there again to say everything is going to be ok with a smile, as they not only protected me but shaped who I am. This generational message transcends color or creed.

[@seanslawson98]

Another great Skynyrd song either The Ballad of Curtis Loew and Gimme Three Steps

[@backrowP]

+1 for curtis loew

[@tedkoppel4199]

LMAO okay okay... Curtis Loew was recorded in the 70's, times we're different then, the song was not meant to be offensive... But it's just not gonna fly in this day and age.
