SOUTHERN BAND HENRY GROSS

[@stuartalexander2657]

Hard to believe that more people don't know this man's work ❤

[@michaelbarber5633]

Best song he did imho. Was disappointed he didn’t continue this type of sound.

Was attending a small college in Martin Tn. in spring of 1978. Maybe April or May, a buddy of mine who was a fan told me Henry was going to play a small club in Jackson, about 50 miles away. I think the name of the place was the Apple. It was on Airways just west of 45. Once inside the packed club , we managed to find a couple of seats at a table with some strangers. As soon as the opening band started playing, joints were lit up at the tables. We ordered several pitchers of draft beer and had a good time with people we had never seen and would never see again. From what I can remember, Henry played a good set and we enjoyed the music. Somehow we staggered out of there in the early morning hours and drove back to school.

My friends and family, from Memphis and Kentucky saw the same concert. Clubs name was The Red Apple and their AC didn't work. Met him afterwards at a place that was similar to Shoney's and got his autograph. He had a good laugh when I told him my name because it was used in one of his songs on his first album. The cover was bright yellow.

Saw him do this live at University of South Carolina in Columbia in '77 or '78, opening for Foghat. Awesome show!

[@jimjones9840]

In 1978 I saw him play in a small bar in NYC maybe 40 people at the most. It was an amazing show!

[@richardmikesell632]

Rocking tune. Loved the entire album although more mellow.

[@stevebrown9710]

I heard this song for the first time today. I looked him up and he was noted for the song "Shannon" which, according to Wikipedia, is a song about a dog that died and belonged to one of the Beach Boys. Anyway, this song rocks! Thanks for posting Classic Rock.

I saw him in Thibodeaux, Louisiana in 1975. Very awesome concert.

[@jimgunn845]

Great Song. Thanks for playing at Roger's house at his party and my wedding . Also liked your version of A Day In The Life. Good job, Great show! Thanks Jim

I always thought he was Mick Ralphs tasty on guitar, but these songs would have been better served by a Paul Rodgers type voice thanhis ShaNaNa backing vocalist tone. .02. I say this because I'm m always about best serving the song. I bought the album when it came out. I have the cd's too. Derek from Nugent woulda killed on these songs, too.

[@danromanelli7183]

Great album. Great track Wore it out in 1975. I rocked the barracks

[@danromanelli7183]

Or was it 76? You know what they say about the 70's

[@GRE32526-Main]

@@danromanelli7183 Maybe '77? :) Thinking that's when I saw him in Columbia near Ft Jackson.

[@billbaber6653]

Entire album good that unusual

[@davidmoulds9775]

No matter what they say they don't make it like that anymore brother

[@briankbell9720]

My favorite song is Evergreen. I must be the only one who'd like it played on you tube.

[@MemphisMama]

I remember using a fake ID to get into a club in Memphis in 1974 to see him. What ever happened to him? My favorite song by him is “Overton Square”

[@thedon8594]

We loved this, me and my crew in High School in the 70's. Sure was disappointed when we got the LP and the rest of it was limp wrist ed soft crap as we called it then. Haven't heard this in awhile. Still has some kick.

[@dalilad.3250]

Lol I guess you ain't southern

[@buck7257]

Southern drawl is hard to capture....HG nailed it here and with you, the balance of the album fell short of expectations.

[@dalilad.3250]

@@buck7257 I loved the complete album..... must be a girl thing.....

[@buck7257]

@@dalilad.3250 Hey, that's also a good thing!

[@VIDSTORAGE]

The other harder rocking tune on that album is Diixe Spiderman .. Show me to the Stage is a damn good song

[@joeyguidry1231]

I have been listening to him since the early 70's, Have a few his CD's. Great guitarist, played w/ SHA NA NA @ Woodstock. Youngest musician to play @ Woodstock, he was 18 yrs. old.

[@kirbywilliamson2942]

[@joeyguidry1231]

@@kirbywilliamson2942 He was 20yrs. old, & his name is Mike Shrive. Anything else?

[@skipwhiley9860]

Loved it growing up. Had a sound a lot like ARS. Wich I also loved.

[@richardmikesell632]

A rock legend when he wants to be!

[@glennestes8438]

Was an album I wore out

[@dalilad.3250]

Me too!

[@savtraffic]

One hit wonder, shame he could'nt continue the badassness.

[@MichaelDBiggs]

This Album did rock though! Burned it off an 8-track to cassette tape. Wore it out! Glad to have found it on the Utoob!
