This is one of my favourite hidden "B" side gems on the album.. I always loved this song and when I name the song to some Skynyrd fans they don't know it because it didn't get any airplay, thus the hidden gem. I find every classic/southern rock band has one or two of these.
Skynyrd is from Jacksonville. Sweet Home Alabama was a shout out to the state of Alabama after they went to Muscle Shoals to record tracks that would later be released after their plane crash. The album is First And Last. This gem of an album was later re released as "Skynyrds First" It was expanded to include even more gems. From this album came this song, Comin Home". There are many great songs on the album. There are maybe four songs on the expanded edition that feature lead vocals from Rickey Medlocke. Ricky's grandfather, who raised him was the inspiration for the song "Ballad Of Curtis Loew", another banger. Rickey played drums on this song. Currently, Rickey plays lead guitar for Skynyrd.
No original members left. The only guys left that played with them in the 70’s are Artimus Pyle and Rickey Medlocke. Medlocke is the only one still playing with the band.
👍 No problem! Me too! Check out a documentary about them called “If I Leave Here Tomorrow” if you haven’t seen it, and can find it on line. Really interesting. A lot of interviews with Artimus Pyle and the late Gary Rossington. Talks about the history of the band and the aftermath of the plane crash which these 2 and others in the band survived.
Hey! Native GA boy here! Welcome, man! (Though I know you said you’ve been here for some time.) Glad you’re a ‘neighbor’! 🙂 Thanks for featuring this song. It’s one of my personal favorites from them. One doesn’t have to be a traveling musician to relate to this and really feel it. This is my first time seeing one of your vids. I’m happy it showed up in my recommended vids. New fan here, man! Love and light to you and yours! 🙂
You did it ♥️✨♥️ Thanks so much for this one!! Ok so next you do “One More Time” Ronnie’s vocals are stellar and the guitar is amazing 🔥🔥 Has a great story behind it too!!
The band played at the Pinocchio club in Atl where they were discovered by Al Kooper and he got them a gig opening for the Who on the Quadrophenia tour. And as they say the rest is history. Augusta Ga
That's what I loved about America. People were different wherever you went. That's a good thing. That's what made America unique. We've lost that for the most part. I think the internet has changed America. Now everybody wants you to think like they do. When you don't then you are wrong. It's really sad. Indifference is a beautiful thing, or at least it was. Peace.
I just remembered this one today and had to search for it. So few folks have reacted to this gem. LS had so many beyond incredible tunes. And nope, they're not from AL. I believe they're from FL. Great reaction!
I Never Dreamed,Honky Tonk Nighttime Man,One More Time are some great deep cuts by Skynyrd You really should do the live tracks from One More From The Road album .It may be the best live album ever
To me this whole album is one of the best albums they had Every song on this album is fire Which like I said it doesn’t matter which album or song you listen to from this band There all good I don’t know of another band that can say every song they did was fire or relatable in some way What is so crazy to me is Ronnie wrote all of these songs in a five year span If this man had not pasted away in the plane crash Just think of the great music we never got to hear
I think Ronnie was saying he really just missed his people in Jacksonville after Skynyrd would be out on the road touring for months & months. Maybe even the "Torture tour" in 1975 . That caused them to lose 2 band members !!!!!
The saddest😔 and happiest😊 part about hearing this song is that
THEY'RE ALL BACK HOME NOW😇❤

NO ONE reacts to this song. Agree with the comments above.
I LOVE THIS SONG, BUT I LOVE EVERY SKYNYRD SONG.
A hidden gem from Skynyrd
Best of their low key songs imo, love this song ✨
They never disappoint
I love this song!! Lynyrd Skynyrd is amazing!!
Made me cry again
A friend of mine who served after 911 said many of his buddies played this song when they knew they were coming home…pretty cool
Older I get, the more this impacts me.
Love this song. Definitely a favorite. Thanks for playing it.

I love this band so much. ❤
Skynyrd is amazing, love all their songs. Some members still here, some long gone. May they RIP. Bless them all.

Thank you for the correction. I still love that band. Great music.

This one is in my top 5 Skynyrd songs
Same here and very mush wish they would have included it on one of their five original albums.
You did it ♥️✨♥️ Thanks so much for this one!! Ok so next you do “One More Time” Ronnie’s vocals are stellar and the guitar is amazing 🔥🔥 Has a great story behind it too!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is home.
One of the few Skynyrd songs that I can still listen to. Our local classic rock station burned me out on them

One of the best! Check out Lend A Helpin Hand from the Muscle Shoals era, their first record! Also check out Need All My Friends.
I'm used to the demo version of this song from the Green Box Set.
I’ve had that box set for more than 30 years! Fabulous!
Their Muscle Shoals CD of demo tracks is great too!
Great stuff!! #yeahBIZ
Lynyrd Skynyrd did not miss, Rip LS
Great tune! Thanks Biz!
I Never Dreamed, Made In The Shade and Four Walls Of Raiford are all worthy...😎😎
You can't go wrong with SKYNYRD
I Never Dreamed,Honky Tonk Nighttime Man,One More Time are some great deep cuts by Skynyrd You really should do the live tracks from One More From The Road album .It may be the best live album ever

The Skynyrd Boys were from Jacksonville Florida. Swamp Music
