    If you want more story telling, Skynard's "Ballad of Curtis Loew" is one of the best. It'll tug at your heart strings, but it's absolutely worth it.

    Rob, if you don't let her listen/react to 'Whipping Post' by the Allman Brothers, you're honestly cheating her out of hearing one of the greatest songs ever written, Southern rock or otherwise. Also, with Lynyrd Skynyrd, you really have to listen to 'Saturday Night Special', 'That Smell', and 'Call Me the Breeze'. All big time bangers.

    This song was based on a REAL experience of the lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt. He came tearing out the back door of a popular bar in Jacksonville, FL because he was dancing with a woman (her name really was Linda Lou) and had no idea she was married. Her husband came in and it wasn't a pretty scene. And yes.....the husband DID pull out a gun and point it at Ronnie.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd never recorded a bad song. One of a few bands that touted the 3 lead guitar format. The story line of the song was from a real life experience with the band at a bar. It went down pretty much like the song says. But after they left, Ronnie started thinking about it and wanted to go back to fight the guy. Instead, they talked him into immediately going to write a song about the event, which turned into, "Gimme Three Steps".

    Southern Rock can be a deep & varied experience. Besides Lynyrd Skynyrd there is The Allman Brothers Band (arguably the originators of Southern Rock), The Marshall Tucker Band, The Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie, Grinderswitch, The Outlaws, Black Oak Arkansas, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, and Atlanta Rhythm Section, to name just a few. Other groups of a similar vein such as ZZ Top, Little Feat , Jimmy Buffet, and Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

      back when they were just getting started (long before the name) they used to practice in my grandmothers garage in Oceanway, right next to the school on Florida Ave. my uncle Herb played Guitar as well and knew them from school which is how the use of the garage was secured. sadly the garage and the house are long since gone, but one of my uncles has an 8MM tape of them playing in that garage when they were teens. no sound sadly.

      If I remember the story correctly as told by Ronnie, it was Ronnie and Gary Rossington coming out of a bar in Atlanta together and saw a pretty girl with a small, not so pretty fella. Gary 'wolf-whistled'. Fella turned around and told Gary to do it again. Gary obliged. Fella pulled a gun, pointing it at the two of them, shaking so badly he probably wouldn't have hit them, girl yelled/screamed, fella looked at girl and yelled at her, Ronnie and Gary both decided at that moment it would be a good eye-deer to haul ass. Ronnie said he learned a lesson that early morning, that no matter how puny the other fella may be, that gun he pulled was awful dayummed big lookin down the barrel.

  • @sf0tacticalguy
    @sf0tacticalguy Před 2 lety +22

    From what I understand, this song was based on a true story. The writer wasn't concerned about taking a beating, it was the gun and the threat that "this might be all for you".
    On another note, your southern Rock journey MUST include Molly Hatchet's "Flirting With Disaster".
    EDIT: I remember seeing an original LIVE version of this and it wasn't, "Mister, I didn't even kiss her!" That version was, "Mister, I didn't even 'stick' her!" Which, I suppose you could say, was the raunchy version.
    Bluegrass suggestion for you? "In the jailhouse now" by Tim Blake Nelson and the Soggy Bottom Boys, from the "O Brother, where art thou?" soundtrack.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the best Southern Rock bands ever to grace this earth. And yes, Sweet Home Alabama is one of their all time classics. Ed King (rest his soul) came up with the iconic opening guitar work for that song off the cuff when he walked into their recording studio (nicknamed “Hell House” because it had no a/c) and heard Gary Rossington playing a few cords. He picked up his Fender Stratocaster guitar and just played what came naturally, and the rest is history! Another classic southern rock band you need to check out, if you haven’t already is the Allman Brothers Band. They have so many classics, but I would suggest 2 songs for starters - Blue Sky (which reminds me of driving through the country on a warm sunny day) and the other being Midnight Rider.

    “Smell That Smell” is to me absolutely at the top of the Skynerd list. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE That and “ Saturday Night Special” . This is even though this Southern man totally disagrees with its anti-gun verses. Still a great song. And of course the classics “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama”. Saw them in Little Rock back in the 70’s and during Free Bird this tall blond haired dude climbs on stage “nekkid”, excepting his cowboy hat, and stands at the front of the stage with his arms up, outstretched clearly higher than Cooter Joe on God only knows what, for about 1/3 of the song! And that’s a damn long time. The band was laughing their asses off and wouldn’t let security drag him off. Did I say it was a kick ass show? 😁

    My absolute favorite southern rock band is .38 Special. "Hold On Loosely", "Back Were You Belong", Caught Up In You", 'If I'd Been The One" & You Keep Runnin' Away" are just a few of their hits.

  • @billsimonis
    @billsimonis Před 2 lety +47

    This was actually based on a real story where lead singer Ronnie Van Zant had while visiting a biker bar.
    38 Special is band you should react to. They have somethng in common, not only are they two southern rock but 38 Special has Ronnie's brother Donnie Van Zant as a member.
    Molly Hatchet is also another band popular in the 70s and 80s (one of my very favorites). Molly Hatchet also came out of Jacksonville, FL, the same as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Charlie Daniels and Marshall Tucker are also ones you should listen to.
    Fun Fact: the band Lynyrd Skynyrd name is in homage to a gym teacher they knew in high school who would always complain about the band members and their long hair.

    Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. They had lots of great songs such as "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird", "Simple Man", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name" etc. After releasing five studio albums & one live album, the band's career was abruptly halted on October 20, 1977, when their chartered airplane crashed, killing Van Zant, Steve Gaines, & backup singer Cassie Gaines & seriously injuring the rest of the band. Lynyrd Skynyrd reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Ronnie's brother Johnny Van Zant as lead vocalist.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd never disappoints and it's always a joy to see you fall in love with all this new music for you. You are correct Jay, they do sing "Sweet Home Alabama". Some other great ones you need to hear of theirs are "Gimme Back My Bullets", "That Smell" and "Saturday Night Special".
    They also have done some Christmas music as well. Look up "Christmas Time Again".
    For some CCR songs: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Down On the Corner".
    Amber, you have mentioned before that you've seen 'O Brother, Where Art Thou', there are some songs from that fitting the style you are looking for that you could introduce to Jay. "I'll Fly Away" by Alison Krauss and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by Harry McClintock.
    I don't believe you have reacted to any Southern blues yet. From 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' there is the song "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" by Chris Thomas King, also check out Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" and "Lonesome Road Blues" by Muddy Waters.

      When I was a teenager, you could tell how much I liked an album by how long it sat on my turntable after I bought it. One More From the Road was there for a solid month, I'd guess. It's great for two reasons:
      1) It showed what a phenomenally great live act they really were. Just rippin' performances from start to finish
      2) It showed what a great collection of songs they'd written by then. Not many bands could pull four sides of solid A+ material from four previous albums.
      They were the real deal in every way.

    The term Southern Rock was pretty much invented for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Ronnie Van Zant once said "People think we're a bunch of drunken rednecks, and that's correct." Drunken yes, but not stupid by any stretch of the imagination. It takes a lot of intelligence to write lyrics this witty and clever, and to paint such a vivid picture that it's like a scene in a comedy movie, and Van Zant wrote many other lyrics just as good. Some were funny, some were serious, some were heartbreakingly sad. All were memorable, and completely honest about himself and world as he saw it. He was really one of a kind.
