ONE OF MY FAVORITES!! | Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Ballad Of Curtis Loew (Reaction!)

People get so confused because they see the confederate flag and they think racist and then they hear a song like this and realize that flag does not make you racist. How you treat others does. Southern pride! Amazing song!

Hey man it touches me to. I'm 64 and probably heard this 500 times. I'm a little teary eyed to. People are the fools.

“Call me the Breeze” by Lynyrd Skynyrd is an elite song that has an epic guitar solo and an epic piano solo in it that will have you rockin Shon…you will love it !!

One of my favorite songs of my life. I am 72 years old. Still love it.

I grew up in St. Paul MN on a ridge overlooking the future I-94 from Mpls to St. Paul that would be built in 1956 or 57. A homeless black man moved into one of the houses that hadn't been torn down yet and every morning he would come out on the porch and preach-facing the capitol building interesting enough, the Word of God directed at the government. I used to watch him preach with my cousins. Eventually they moved him out and tore down the house and we had to move also. It took me a while but eventually I heard God's call into the ministry and preached for many years. and now I am retired. I fondly remember that old black preacher and his courage and his dedication to preaching the Word of God. He inspired me, like Curtis inspired Ronnie Van Zant. Thanks Shon for recognizing how those who go before us can affect the rest of our lives.

You nailed it. I think youll like "Call Me The Breeze " "The Needle and the Spoon" Thanks for the reaction

RIP to all the goats from Lynyrd Skynyrd. The greatest rock band that ever lived.

I was born in 1964 in Orlando, Fl, grew up in the 70s and 80s, still rocked hard in the 90s... I don't remember racism to be a thing back then... We all just jammed, laughed, cried, grew... WTF happened?? 😞 Well, I'm stiil the same, and I still love my fellow humans! 😊

One of Skynyrd's best... great story and awesome slide guitar... thanks Ed King(RIP).

Ronnie could make you feel it. Lots of people sing the blues, but he sure made it real.

" Give Me Three Steps " is another real life experience by singer Ronnie V Z. It's another good one.

I’ve been waiting for your reaction to Custis Loew, pronounced Low. You did not disappoint! I love all their songs but this is one of my favorites and can relate to.

Skynyrd is a great rabbit hole to go down. Love watching folks here these greats for the first time.

The band's website says that the song is based on a composite of people who actually lived in the Van Zants' original neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida. Specifically, the country store "is based on Claude's Midway Grocery on the corner of Plymouth and Lakeshore [Blvd] in Jacksonville." The specific spelling of the surname comes from Ed King writing the liner notes for the Second Helping and deciding to name the bluesman after the Jewish Loew's Theatre.[7] Some of the sources mentioned include Claude H. "Papa" Hammer, Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne, Robert Johnson, and Shorty Medlocke,[8] the grandfather of Rickey Medlocke, Lynyrd Skynyrd's drummer during their 1970 tour and one of the band's current guitarists.[9]

The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band will always deliver great guitar playing.

I really enjoy watching you love this music! I can tell that you're not faking it.. you really love it and going on your Playlist!!! One of the best songs ever! It makes you remember someone from your childhood that had a impact on your life!!!! Thanks for a great reaction!❤

I grew up in the 60s in a small town in Alabama. Was black man named Joe, Banjo Joe, who sat in front of the store playing. Just an old wino but he could play. Died in the city jail one night.

i was an apprentice in a welding shop back in the late 90's. Everytime curtis lowe would come on the radio the whole shop would stop and go silent until it went off.

My son went on a trip to Florida just to go to locations of Lynyrd Skynyrd. He’s got pictures of all the good stuff where the country store was and so much more. Really cool! At least I raised him to listen to good music!

I think the guitar in this song is the closest to weeping I've heard.
