[@xsithspawnx]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is southern rock and there's definitely quite a bit of soul in it!

[@tinydancer867]

Southern Rock or even Folk Rock.. kinda about the same thing in my opinion. ;)

[@dizastro5437]

If it touches your soul, must be soul rock?

[@fgf366]

Lol....there are women named Tuesday...i.e. Tuesday Weld, an actress

[@sickturret3587]

yup. rock and metal have almost indefinite sub-genres. sometimes you can put a single band's album on 5 different subs

[@kimberlywagner7788]

It's actually known as Southern Fried Rock, a transitional genre from coumtry/blues to Rock.

[@YesMyTatsAreReal]

I am a huge Skynyrd fan and this is one of those songs that if I''ve just pulled into a parking lot and am ready to go in a store or whatever I don't do it until the song finishes.

[@WhizzingFish12]

100 freaking percent. They've got about a dozen I've done that to.

[@Garry-vd1dg]

Me too I just love there blues music and they also did some country music to. They were such a great successful Band.

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

About 8 years ago I was in a bar in Nashville. 1300 miles from home working. I flew my folks out, and my aunt and uncle, because none of them have been before. We are having a great time, and my uncle who I was very close to and the person who taught me the skills that I have a career in. This song is playing, (live band doing cover) and we are all out of our seats watching the band play. Side note.. Bar bands in Nashville could be better than any famous band that is mainstream and these guys were fantastic. I am finding myself in a surreal moment as I look at my family together and smiling fixated on this band. My uncle puts his arm on my shoulder and reveals his watch to me. I hadn't really paid attention to it being Tuesday, we just went out when they got into town. 12:00 Tuesday was in fact gone. The surreal feeling that I had multiplied into some synchronizing feeling of; YES. All is right in the world and how it should be in that moment of time. It was unbelievably powerful, almost to a disbelief. I'm sure that being Tuesday, this song was in their setlist for that time. My uncle passed away 2 years ago. The moment that he revealed his little secret, about realizing that we were now living in Wednesday to me, on his watch at the time that I already felt like some heaven had spilled down to the spot on earth where I stood, I still feel, some of that feeling, whenever I hear this song, and have a memory of how intense it was with a perfect and pleasant view of, this is it, and this is here all the time. Nothing else existed in my thoughts at that moment, other than a deep gratitude for those people I love right there with me, for another memory with them. We are just looking in other directions, or in a different light to stay there all the time. With a joy I thought that this could have been the last experience of combined happiness that I might have with any of them. That is when that feeling overtook me. {It was the last one with all of them together} How blessed I am to have something like that, be my last memory of going and doing something with him. We are just looking in other directions, or in a different light to stay in spilled heaven all the time. I just fell into whatever that unreal feeling of every single thing is perfect is, so perfect that nothing you could do could make it any better. It's a blissful daydream for a time, but you could not function while having that feeling for very long. Very spiritual, I guess would be the closest word to describe it. I fumbled over the words, trying to describe something that I do not have the correct words to do so.

[@bobfenster3690]

"is there such a thing as soul rock?" yea. it's called southern rock

Yes there is soul in southern rock. Same as the soul in RnB/hip hop. It all comes from the blues. No matter what side of the tracks, whatever style you gravitated towards, we can all get down and relate to the blues my friend😊

I can't listen to Skynyrd without crying because my Dad introduced me to this incredible band at an early age. I lost my Daddy before his 60 th birthday and this was his favorite band.

Yeah... It was pretty moving when we got to the part about his wife pressing her mom's boyfriend for a completion date on the porch... Great story, but I must have been too high to catch that part, back in my teens. 🙄😉

[@teresafaulkner7773]

I think that is off of their studio album but I'm not sure if they have all those extra instruments when they performed live but they were still good

Tuesday is a girls name. Met a girl named Tuesday Wells. She was named after the actress. Just a young and abused girl. She is gone now . This song strikes me hard.

[@royalway12]

A friend and I were celebrating on a hill in the country, in the car. We had gotten tickets to their concert, when news broke into a song on the rock station we were listening to. The news was, their plane had just crashed, and there were confirmed casualties. That's all we got at that time. Put a real damper on the rest of that Friday night.

[@stinky60096]

Southern Rock is soulful and bluesy. That is what Lynyrd Skynyrd is.

[@WhizzingFish12]

Im a lifelong Skynyrd fan. The singer (and main songwriter) is Ronnie Van Zant. He wrote this song about his divorce as a young man. It's his sad feelings as he walked out of the door. Just a fantastic song and one of about 20 that are classics to this day. Just timeless. Even though they were huge in their day, Skynyrd is still a criminally underrated band. Along with the Allman Brothers and Creedence, they are one of greatest American bands in history. Talent in every direction.

[@fateagle4life]

Southern Rock is a mix of the blues, metal, gospel, and country music. It is a wonderful music stew.

[@TheMadman1025]

The lead singer is Ronnie Van Zant. This is considered Southern Rock. It takes alot of inspiration from Blues music, which also orginated in the south.

[@royalway12]

Most of all modern country, is now southern rock. Hard drums, driving guitars. Skynrd, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker Band, they were the groundbreakers.

[@seahawks1185]

That's what makes music great, I couldn't name one musician that wasn't inspired/influenced in some way from others before them, and not one of them would sway away from articulating their influence, as you see in any expose on any musician.

Tuesday is a woman. There is a line in the song "Tuesday you see, well she had to be free." You had your eyes closed and were air drumming when that line dropped. There is a famous, albeit older, actress named Tuesday Weld but she is not who the song is about. More Skynyrd: Call Me The Breeze, Whiskey Rock A Roller, That Smell and I Know A Little to name just a few.

@@teresafaulkner7773 facts

[@obbor4]

Another incredible fact about the mind and heart of Ronnie Van Zant is that he never wrote any of the lyrics of these songs on paper. He listened to the band working out a song and the words came off of his tongue as we later heard them on record. His loss to the world of rock music is immeasurable. The fact that this band could still fill arenas, waiting to hear his songs for forty years after his death, is an indication of how much his words always strike a chord with listeners. A very special person with the soul of a poet.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

That’s right. I saw them in 2019 too. I also saw them in 1987, ten years after the plane crash.

[@jeffwarren4938]

He said if you can't remember the lyrics, then they are not worth singing.

[@ElPistolero06]

Like "Ruby Tuesday" by The Rolling Stones, Tuesday in this song is the name of a girl. It's about going away and leaving her behind. Written by lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Allen Collins, it's another "I must be going now" song on Lynyrd Skynyrd's first album, similar in theme to "Free Bird." There was a train track near the place where the band rehearsed. The sound of the trains inspired lead singer Ronnie Van Zant to write the first line, "Train roll on, on down the line." The group was discovered by Al Kooper, a producer and session musician who had previously worked with Bob Dylan, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Zombies. Kooper played some instruments and sang backup on the album, but his contributions were credited to "Roosevelt Gook." On this track, he played a synthesizer-like instrument called a Mellotron.

I also send many virtual hugs. I lost my baby brother in 2006. When Mama brought him home from the hospital and put him in his crib, I put my hands on the side and lifted myself on my tip toes to see him. I turned to my Mama and told her "He's my baby too". I meant that whole heartedly and took care of him, feeding him, changing diapers, yes even the worst smelling ones, and played with him. Taught him things and protected him from the bullies growing up, even when he was wrong. I would literally go toe to toe with the older boys when they picked on him. One even took a swing at me, but only once. He didn't connect, but I did, with a kidney shot that brought him down. I told him to leave my brother alone and we wouldn't have any problems. Being his older sister was a pleasure and we had a special bond. So many great memories with him. When we lost him, it actually hurt to breathe. It will be 15 years in August and it still hurts to think of him not being here anymore. Sorry if I went off on a tangent, just got caught up in memories. I hope your heart heals. Love from me in South Texas to you and yours.

If you dig Skynard my man, you most definitely need to check out the Allman Brothers... Melissa or Whilping Post. I think you'll be pleased.

Ronnie van Zant was the lead singer. He died in the plane crash in 1977 along with guitarist/backing vocalist Steve Gaines and Steve's wife Cassie. Billy Powell was the amazing pianist/keyboardist. The guitarists usually stole the spotlight, but Powell got to show out on this one. And Tuesday is his baby. I have a cousin who is such a big Skynyrd fan he named his daughter Tuesday after this song. That's how much we love Skynyrd in the South.

[@59elgreco]

I believe the most soulful rock band are the ones based in the deep southern blues. So many British legends were influenced by the blues legends. Southern rockers are great story tellers and musicians. Check out "The Legend of Curtis Loew" as Skynyrd pays tribute to a blues player who as a kid Ronnie watched playing the blue.

[@lieslbirch885]

My favorite Skynyrd song!

[@dtmjax5612]

It’s a great song, but Curtis Loew was not a real person. “The Ballad of Curtis Loew” was just more of Ronnie Van Zandt’s artistic genius as a lyricist. The inspiration was pulled from several living people and places here on Jacksonville, Florida’s Westside where they grew up.

[@pamelajackson69]

Been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd my whole life and they are so consistently great in their music!

[@robertbook6670]

Having grown up in the deep south in the seventies and eighties. I can say that the influence of soul, jazz, and blue's music are very strong on many southern rock as well as country artists that grew up in that Era. In the south of my childhood. Which in many areas was heavily depressed financially after poor trade decisions on the part of the government caused the oilfield work to bust and agriculture to be forced to nearly bankrupting most farmers. There were black musicians that toured the south and became highly popular. These musicians had an advantage over their white counterparts. Because they could go into any town and do three shows in that town. One in a predominantly black bar. One in a predominantly white bar. Then cap off with either a theater or arena show. So many of the kids who would grow up to become Southern Rock bands such as Lynard Skynard and country artists such as Conway Twitty, Chris Stapelton, Ronnie Milsap grew up listening to Ottis Redding, Percy Sledge, Clarence Carter, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Fats Domino, Aretha Franklin, Patty Labelle, Donna Summer, Ike & Tina Turner. Then add to that influence of the Swamp Pop bands and Zydeco such as Cookie and the Cupcakes and Boozoo Chavus coming out of South Louisiana and South Mississippi. Southern Rock and Country artists actually have a well rounded and diversified pool of musical influence to draw from.

[@walfdeshon7951]

"The hunt" is another killer tune from these boys.

[@meithkiller]

I'm a Country Boy too!

[@brianbrooks1285]

You can feel free to call it soul rock if you want to, we call it southern rock at it's best!

[@imalwayslast3170]

This is my favorite Skynyrd song. I remember the first time I heard it was the intro to Happy Gilmore when I was a kid. You will find that southern rock and outlaw country take a lot of inspiration from Blues.

[@edwardvolner8678]

Southern rock is a mixture of blues rock and country,and it sounds very soulful

[@samcomer8604]

I'm glad you could "ride this train" with us brother! Loved seeing you FEEL this one!

[@Dj_-zn5zl]

I love how much you feel the music. We can see you get into the music and makes the reaction so much better. Thank you for giving these great songs the time to appreciate. I’m only 20 but Songs like these I don’t want to be forgotten.

[@Keeba7790]

Southern Rock is like a sub genre of Classic Rock. It is kind of a blend of screaming guitar Rock, emotional Soul, the faith and belief of Gospel, and all the heart of Country.

[@latesailor1350]

My favorite Skynyrd song! Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer. He died in the infamous plane crash in 1977. His brother, Johnny sings for Skynyrd now.

[@jcdvt1]

Tuesdays gone to the wind- the past is the past and you got to keep moving forward- that’s what I get the song to mean

[@UncleBogator]

Southern Rock is the balance between rock n roll, country and blues. Soul Rock. Ronnie Van Zant was the singer. one of the few who died in the plane crash 1977.

[@popogejo8311]

Billy Powell on the keys, a total talent in and of himself. A classically trained musician and the only one in the band with a highschool education.

[@kathrynmilinkovich293]

This is one of my favorite songs and I have never seen a reaction! You have made my day! Memories with my mom when I was younger. ❤

[@JungleScene]

my guy, if you love that piano solo then check out "Call Me The Breeze". for a lot of LS fans its their favorite song from the band.... and it has an amazing piano solo!

[@doublea5589]

RIP JJ Cale!! They called him the breeze!

[@thomastrain7311]

"Soul Rock" is a good description. A lot of the southern rock artists had the same background as a lot of the Motown artists. Came up playing in church and at home/ in the neighborhood. That's the difference. There's emotion, soul, and a relatability in all of it. Elvis is another example. He had very professional productions and at the same time a little bit funky and soulful. Kentucky Rain comes to mind.

[@timothybyrom5560]

Tuesday is the woman. I had a friend of mine, when we were in our 20's had a woman named Tuesday. They split, and I had to hear that song over and over. I still love the song, but it wasn't my favorite Skynyrd song for awhile.

[@uncledave9530]

As for the piano in the song, several Southern Rock groups used them. After Dwayne Allman died and Greg took over the Allman brothers used even more piano because that was Greg's instrument. Southern Rock was not like modern rock there was a lot more soul in it. They were country boys. Listen to Train Train by Blackfoot.

[@Riffs_Garage]

You need to listen to the version that's on One more from the road album. It's a live album. Also there's concert footage of the band playing this in early 76 at winterland concert. Both live versions are fantastic. Also something else to note is that Skynyrd is a piano band

[@conniechidester2407]

Southern Rock! It's a blend of rock, rhythm and blues. Maybe a little country harmony at times. Bands like this one Molly Hatchet, The Allman Brothers, and the Outlaws. Very popular in the 70's.

[@Buzzbomb57]

The backup singers were/are the Honkets, this was recorded and done live with sometimes a 100 piece orchestra accompanying them. And yes Tuesday is her name.

[@pennybennett4106]

Tuesday's gone is about a girl . another great one!

[@TexasMagnolia]

Southern Rock Marathon? All deep Soul! Marshall Tucker Band Heard it in a love song Fire on the mountain Can’t ya see

[@RudeBoy25411]

Makes me want to play some Bob Marley in my playlist, ever time I listen to rock I always revert back to that man and he’s band of past.

[@bunkshaner22]

Dude, I am sitting here with a compound fracture trying to keep my mind busy in a shitload of pain, I’ve hit the subscribe button 🤣. You been keeping me occupied and entertained for the past couple hours 🤣 thanks much appreciated 🤜 (To add what you were saying about the piano playing and other instruments etc it didn’t matter what genre of music old school music they took more pride I think and used more instruments & paid attention to details more)

[@jeffpatton2866]

Great reaction. Please react to "I Need You". This is a highly underrated song by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@MC-ik9ei]

Not just underrated my friend, actually one of skynyrd's best in my opinion. Good taste.

[@1hundredwattwarlock142]

Yessir!

[@jbolin105]

Absolutely 💯.

[@jerredwayne8401]

Yes and was I right or wrong are two of the best

[@meithkiller]

Man are you right about "I Need You!"

[@shirleymongold9491]

Southern rock mostly has that blues feeling. You might also react to Blackfoot, Mashall Tucker and Molly Hatchet. They all had that same feel.
