I was a youngster when this song was released. I loved the talk box stuff-Rufus (Chaka Khan), Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, etc…but, Stillwater made the story song with the guitar talking! Such fun, and it absolutely does rock!!!
First off, glad to see your both back. Ya‘ll taught this 60 year old dog a new trick!! Never heard this band or this song and I love Southern Rock. These guys killed it! What a great song. Thanks to whoever recommended this tune. ❤
Great song and reaction. Glad someone pointed you to Stillwater. I do think Mind Bender is the perfect introduction to the band. It is the one I first heard on the radio. Huge for us in high school at the time.
In 1978, this album on 8-track was sold out EVERYWHERE! There's a lot of good music on that album. April Love is a beautiful song about time to say goodbye.
Unbelievable! Never expected to see the hometown Boys on any reaction channel, much less my favorite. Yes, Stillwater is from my hometown, Warner Robins GA. Of course, they're legends around here and they had some fame in the late 70s. Mindbender was their biggest hit, reaching the top 40, but they have some pretty decent southern rock on their resume. Glad you liked it and thanks for listening.
LOVE this song. Such an underappreciated gem. I still remembered almost every word of the lyrics, even though I haven't heard it in years. I knew you'd love it as soon as I saw the thumbnail.
Saw Stillwater live in the early 70's, great stuff, I have that album too. One of the very first if not the first to use the talk box. Frampton and Joe Walsh used it later on.
I always enjoy your reactions. Usually I've heard the songs before but today you introduced me to a band I'd not heard before. Keep up your great reactions.
Same here. And this piece is fire. And I came of age in the 70’s and I thought I knew all the best that came out that decade. But somehow, I missed this one.
WOW!!! I just flashed back to discovering this band when they opened for The Little River Band in, of all places, Waukesha, WI. Fan ever since. That was in 1976?
@@stormy8207 This band is awesome! I'm a huge Little River Band fan. I only saw them on 3 tours. I last one was when John Farnham joined.. I wasn't impressed. I prefer the original line-up. I wish I got to see Stillwater. Is this the band referred to in "Almost Famous" film?
How did I miss that one? I was only next door in Brookfield. I bought this album when it came out in '77. Maybe that concert was before I had heard of them. Still have the album, still play it.
@@KenRoerden I went to the show because I had free tix to Little River Band. I really don't remember their performance! Stillwater blew me away and that's what I decided to remember.
@@seanswinton6242No this band is not connected to Almost Famous. The band in the movie was based on Dr. Hook. They were the band that Cameron Crowe (William in the movie) followed on your as a teen to write an article about for Rolling Stone.
@@mikeharris3733 I love the story behind Mickey's Monkey too. Turns out the guitar player stole the guitar licks from Zeppelin's "Custard Pie" by Jimmy Page. He stole it intentionally because Page had lifted a lot of his licks from black blues artists and MF dared them to sue )
@@Hobodeluxe007 while I love the Mother's Finest cover of Mickey's Monkey, lots of folks don't know that the Miracles released it first back in 1963. My favorite MF tune is Truth's Gonna Set You Free, from that same album. I have that album listed in my top ten favorites. They're still touring. And such nice people too. I have a buddy, whose wife usually performs with them whenever they come to town
True but the character was not played by the same James Cameron who directed 'Titanic.' 'Almost Famous' follows the young main character who is based on Cameron Crowe's experience at that age as a freelance writer following an up-and-coming band on tour. Cameron Crowe also wrote & directed the film- which could be regarded as an autobiopic.
@@NolaLee The Stillwater in the movie is an amalgam of several bands Cameron toured with or reviewed. Much of it was based off touring with the Allman Bros. The airplane scene specifically.
Couple of obscure bands you may like-one hit wonders-Starbuck-Moonlight Feels Right(has an unexpected xylophone solo), Tomorrow-My White Bicycle (Steve Howe of Yes in group) the Bubble Puppy-Hot Smoke and Sassafras (one of the last psych rock songs of the 60s), Nazz-Open My Eyes (Todd Rundgren's first band) and finally The Winstons-Color Him Father-a great soul group from Washington DC-one of those story songs.
Stillwater, out of Warner Robins, Ga., was like an edgier Atlanta Rhythm Section. This was their biggest regional chart hit. 1970s Georgia Southern Rock was awesome. Great memories.
@@douglas8213 what is your Mom’s name? I might know her. You don’t need to give full name if you don’t want to. First name with last initial or just last name.
Wow. I came of age in the 70’s and I thought I knew all the best that came out that decade. But somehow, I missed this one. And this band! And this piece is fire! Thank you for reacting to this. As others have said, the fictional band in ALMOST FAMOUS is also named Stillwater. Must be partially a tribute to this band.
For some reason, along with Point Blank, they have been underrated compared to other Southern Rock bands and have received almost no attention at all. I'm very happy that they were featured this time. Other song "Sam’s Jam" is a jamming-style song at nearly towards the end, and it's included in the same album as this one, so I'm looking forward to see and hear the next reaction.
Thanks for this one, I haven't heard it in a long time! Stillwater was one of those cool underrated groups from the Capricorn Record label out of Macon, Georgia. Capricorn was the home of the Allman Brothers, its best known act, but also featured other wildly creative artists such as Wet Willie, the Marshall Tucker Band, Eddie Hinton, Elvin Bishop, the Dixie Dregs, Widespread Panic, Vigilantes of Love, and two of my favorite bands on the label, Sea Level ("That's Your Secret") and Captain Beyond ("Thousand Days of Yesterday"). Check out those two songs for a great musical experience.
Great reaction! I notice that you haven't done any reactions to Delain! They are symphonic metal with a synthe twist. There are two versions. Old Delain with singer Charlotte Wessels who now does her own work and new Delain with singer Diana Leah. Both have amazing voices! Try Masters of Destiny with Charlotte and Queen of Shadow with Diane! You will love them both!
Saw them back in 1976 with Charlie Daniels Band. I was BLOWN away by this group. If you are looking for great guitar AND saxophone let me suggest Tommy Castro, High on the Hog studio version. You will not be disappointed 😊😊
Yezzz indeed. So glad you listened to them!!❤❤❤. You love guitar so check out Cactus-- Parchman Farm as well. Also Screaming Cheetah Wheelies -- Shaking The Blues.
Still you have not had anything from the multi million album selling group "MARILLION" such as "MISPLACED CHILDHOOD"..."A SCRIPT FOR A JESTERS TEAR" ..."THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS"..Sooooo many great hits from this legendary rock group!.
Awesome song The way the music moves you guys I love to see your chair dance, but I’d also love to see you stand up and dance with each other when you get a good song playing like that and it moves you
I'd like to throw in few suggestions for future listen-to's: Cinephile "What becomes of us." - Good for Female Friday as main lead is Susan Wallace. Labeled as trip hop, as most of their songs are really chill and psychedelic . (This one was used on a CSI episode) Jessie Ware "Wildest Moments" - Sister to actress Hanna Ware, another good chill one for Female Friday. Morcheeba "Otherwise" - Yet another one for Female Friday. Chill, and the music video is really cool. One Republic "Counting Stars" - One Republic generally has really good songs, but this one is my favorite. Chain Gang of 1974 "Sleepwalking" or "Forget" - Really great music is all I have to say about this one.
Another classic. BTW: you want some excellent guitar, you need the live version of Fleetwood Mac's "Jumping at Shadows" from the Boston Tea Party concert. It's Peter Green's finest playing on record. And that is saying something.
Stillwater【Mindbender】Lyrics (Guitar Intro) While browsing through a pawn shop I saw this old guitar It's keys were bent and rusty It's body scratched and scarred Holy- Moses Would you believe that guitar began to talk (I swear it did) Now it's not like your thinkin I wasn't stoned or drinkin When I heard that talkin guitar say (Talk Box) My daddy was a Gibson My mama was a Fender That's why they call me, Mindbender Mindbender, that's my name You better believe it It was a mind-bending thing (Guitar Lead) I said now listen Guitar What you tryin to do People will think I'm crazy If they see me talkin to you He said (Talk Box) "What's that you say" I said you better hold your tongue Now it's not like your thinkin I wasn't stoned or drinkin I swear I heard that Guitar say (Talk Box) My daddy was a Gibson My mama was a Fender That's why they call me Mindbender Mindbender, that's my name my name You better believe it Brother It was a Mind Bending thing (Guitar Lead And Talk Box)
You guys would love "My Own Fault" from the Johnny Winter And Live album. Best slow blues guitar ever. As opposed to "Mean Town Blues" from the same album, which is the best fast blues guitar ever.😂
I had that album, the one with the water drops on it. Also had it on 8track. I think back when I was in college, I may have had a Volunteer Jam concert on tape, that had them performing a live version of Mindbender. But I can't be sure. For some reason, my memories of my college days are kind of blurry 😆
If you want more Stillwater, try out their second album, I Reserve The Right. The title song is a good one if you really want to hear some good Southern Rock jam.
If you guys want more talk box, check out Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton. For something newer and funkier, check out Roger Troutman and the Zapp Band. "Heard it the Grapevine," "More Bounce to the Ounce," and "So Ruff, So Tuff" are songs that have been sampled by other artists MANY times.
I also have to remind you about Mr Big, you never played them again? I have a couple songs- "just take my heart" and "wild world" and a grunge rock song by Kiss- "Jungle" gene does a great bass riff. and I don't know if you've done Megadeth on here before? a couple songs- "symphony of destruction", "holy wars" btw singer/guitarist for Megadeth is Dave Mustaine and he was in the band Metallica. hope you get a chance to hear and do reactions for these songs. take care my friends!
Great pick! Need to check out more great guitar artists like The Outlaws. Their song Green Grass & High Tides is comparable to Skynyrd's Free Bird. Also Molly Hatchet's Flirtin With Disaster. Thanks. 😊
wait... one of my favorite movies is called Almost Famous. and the band in that movie is called Stillwater. but... definitely not the same! I mean, the characters are NOT supposed to be this band. I find it interesting that the writers of the film chose the name but weren't trying to reflect the real people in any way. great movie, by the way! I think you'd like the music in it.
I was a youngster when this song was released. I loved the talk box stuff-Rufus (Chaka Khan), Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, etc…but, Stillwater made the story song with the guitar talking! Such fun, and it absolutely does rock!!!
Let us not forget the movie Almost Famous. Where the name of the fictional band was named Stillwater
“Fever Dog”, great tune!
Great film, worth a watch on their movie channel.
"My Daddy was a Gibson, my Mama was a Fender, that's why they call me Mind Bender...that's my name."
And yet no OUTLAWS on this channel???????
Well damn! I'm 73 and had totally forgotten this band cause I had not this song in 40 yrs. Thanks

Daaaaaaang, yall, this is one from the deeper recesses of the rock-n-roll catacombs! Props 🤘
And yet they still have not reacted to THE OUTLAWS. I know you have heard of them.
And yet they keep bypassing the OUTLAWS.
@@notedrockhistorian4382yes Green Grass and High Tides around the same time as Freebird
Wow! These is indeed a very nice surprise. Never heard this before.
Great song and reaction. Glad someone pointed you to Stillwater. I do think Mind Bender is the perfect introduction to the band. It is the one I first heard on the radio. Huge for us in high school at the time.
Thank you so much for playing that request. I knew you two would love it. Have a great evening. Love y’all.
I can't believe yall reacted to this,thank you 🎸🎶
In 1978, this album on 8-track was sold out EVERYWHERE!
There's a lot of good music on that album.
April Love is a beautiful song about time to say goodbye.
@@denniseaton8136 Sam's Jam, Universal Fool, and Rock 'n' Roll Loser are other great titles on that album. April Love is an undiscovered gem.
Wow, this is one of those songs that hits it big and then you never hear it again. I remember it well, thanks.
Haven’t heard this in years! Thanks guys!
This 70s song needs some COWBELL Along with the Voice box.
Reminds me of Grand funk rail road in the 70s
Great choice Jay & to whoever suggested Mind Bender, just a great, great song.
Up next for Stillwater guys, same album, Out On A Limb.
Unbelievable! Never expected to see the hometown Boys on any reaction channel, much less my favorite. Yes, Stillwater is from my hometown, Warner Robins GA. Of course, they're legends around here and they had some fame in the late 70s. Mindbender was their biggest hit, reaching the top 40, but they have some pretty decent southern rock on their resume. Glad you liked it and thanks for listening.
I grew up in Macon and didnt remember they are from Warner Robins.
@mattbecham597
Me 2, I think Rehab is from Warner Robins to
Not their best song. They missed I RESERVE THE RIGHT.
@mikeharris3733 the band "Stillwater" is from Troy, Michigan
So why have they not reacted to the OUTLAWS. I have requested them at least a dozen times.
Good buddies of mine! Some of the most humble and gracious musicians you ever want to meet or play with on stage. Awesome choice!
You should get them to let Jay and Amber do a reaction session with them!
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! FIRE, YA'LL!!! Can't BELIEVE I'm HEARING THIS!! AWESOME TUNE!!! :)

This is diggin’ in the crates!!! So glad you guys did this one.

As a European, a baseball fan, & a Cardinals fan, love the cap....also, great tune !!
Awesome song
The way the music moves you guys I love to see your chair dance, but I’d also love to see you stand up and dance with each other when you get a good song playing like that and it moves you
Never heard of Stillwater before this. Good 12 bar blues sound. Who hid this band???
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Absolutely Great Stuff!!! I am so glad to be introduced to new band to me....absolutely great discover!
I'd like to throw in few suggestions for future listen-to's:
Cinephile "What becomes of us." - Good for Female Friday as main lead is Susan Wallace. Labeled as trip hop, as most of their songs are really chill and psychedelic . (This one was used on a CSI episode)
Jessie Ware "Wildest Moments" - Sister to actress Hanna Ware, another good chill one for Female Friday.
Morcheeba "Otherwise" - Yet another one for Female Friday. Chill, and the music video is really cool.

Stillwater【Mindbender】Lyrics
(Guitar Intro)
While browsing through a pawn shop
I saw this old guitar
It's keys were bent and rusty
It's body scratched and scarred
Holy- Moses
Would you believe that guitar began to talk
(I swear it did)
Now it's not like your thinkin
I wasn't stoned or drinkin
When I heard that talkin guitar say
(Talk Box) My daddy was a Gibson
My mama was a Fender
That's why they call me, Mindbender
Mindbender, that's my name
You better believe it
It was a mind-bending thing
(Guitar Lead)
I said now listen Guitar
What you tryin to do
People will think I'm crazy
If they see me talkin to you
He said
(Talk Box) "What's that you say"
I said you better hold your tongue
Now it's not like your thinkin
I wasn't stoned or drinkin
I swear I heard that Guitar say
(Talk Box) My daddy was a Gibson
My mama was a Fender
That's why they call me Mindbender
Mindbender, that's my name my name
You better believe it Brother
It was a Mind Bending thing
(Guitar Lead And Talk Box)
You guys would love "My Own Fault" from the Johnny Winter And Live album. Best slow blues guitar ever. As opposed to "Mean Town Blues" from the same album, which is the best fast blues guitar ever.😂

I'm with ya here never heard of this group before, not bad
I heard this late night,in bed,about age 11. That was an experience.
Great guitar playing: REO Speedwagon 157 Riverside Avenue live plus some great scatting as bonus.
Hi Jay and Amber hope you are doing good tonight,Jay I hope everything is going well on your mental health journey.
Ultimate guitar song Tender Surrender live by Stevie Vai!!!!!!!!
“Life in Still Water” by Fates Warning. Thought of the song because of this band’s name.
I met a couple of the Fates Warning guys at a club in West Hartford, CT back in the late 80's. They were rude dicks.
Right out the gate, getting Black Velvet vibes… then into Do You Feel Like I Do?
If you want more Stillwater, try out their second album, I Reserve The Right. The title song is a good one if you really want to hear some good Southern Rock jam.
Great to see you back mate.
I'd forgotten about this!
love that you did this!!!
If you guys want more talk box, check out Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton. For something newer and funkier, check out Roger Troutman and the Zapp Band. "Heard it the Grapevine," "More Bounce to the Ounce," and "So Ruff, So Tuff" are songs that have been sampled by other artists MANY times.
Sometime Sunshine and Sam's JAM !!
Have this very album in my vinyl album collection 👍
Saw these guys about a thousand years ago with Triumph lol
I saw them in a bar in Roanoke VA in 1980 when I was 17
You guys do theee best song reviews 👍
For insane guitar I would also recommend Eric Johnson - cliffs of Dover live. Cheers
Dust off the memory banks of my mind. An old favorite. Follow up with Fresh Air by Quicksilver Messenger Service.
I also have to remind you about Mr Big, you never played them again?

You need to check out a band called Blackberry Smoke-- Songs. Restless , Sleeping Dogs. There entire library is great.
wait... one of my favorite movies is called Almost Famous. and the band in that movie is called Stillwater. but... definitely not the same! I mean, the characters are NOT supposed to be this band.
