Anyone who doesn't love this song is totally devoid of a soul.
-
One of Skynyrd’s most underrated songs.
-
i love how he referred to Curtis in the past tense until the end when he sings directly to Curtis in the present tense " you are the finest picker"
-
This is southern rock. Country type people have admiration for their history and for each other. We’ve made history haven’t we? Some bad some good. But admiration for each other. Big hugs.
-
Lynyrd Skynyrd is the name of the band. No one in the band has that name. It’s a play on the name of their high school PE coach who hated long hairs. Check out “Made in the shade”. Another of their great songs that did not get any air play.

Pick any Skynyrd song, great lyrics with awesome musicians.
-
This song was written back in the 70's and happened in the 50's in southern Alabama, so it was a different time and place with racial issues, so that makes it even more touching that Ronnie Van Zant (the singer) had such a deep love for Curtis Lowe...

Thank you this doesn't get the respect it deserves. Usually on the radio its Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama.
-
This is my hands down favorite Lynard Skynyrd song.
-
Wonderful song, sums up poor life in the South years ago....good times
-
I think we all have that Curtis Loew growing up that blows our mind as a kid and gets us interested in something we end up pursuing our whole lives.

I think the boy in the story got a "woopin" because Curtis was looked at as a drunk, possibly homeless, and stuff like that, not because he was Black. Maybe both I guess.

Context. Song recorded in 1974. Band was from Southern Alabama, hence the Confederate Flag. Very common back then in the south. The person talking at 10 years old would have been in the late 50's to early 60's. Segregation was the law of the land at that time. A 10 year old white boy sneaking out to listen to a 60 year old black man would have been a serious taboo. This was a great tribute and recorded in the early days after the civil rights marches. It showed that music didn't see color and was a universal language. This group was the birth of Southern Rock and had deep roots in Blues Music. It's obvious this little boy didn't care about race, loved old Curtis and they had a bond through music in spite of the societal evils of the time. Great song and great story. I'm a huge fan.

Lol. Whenever this song is on, people give the same look you gave when they say, "old Curt was a black man," expecting something racist to come next. Nope, just pure, soulful, loving Lynyrd Skynyrd.
