Ronnie Van Zant was a legendary storyteller who could write lyrics that EVERYONE can relate to in some way. A true genius.
So true! He had a wisdom, life lessons and/ or street wisdom far beyond his years. Never wrote his lyrics down!!
Ditto ❤
The thing that amazes me about Ronnie was that when he composed lyrics to their songs, he never wrote any of them down on paper. He said "...if it wasn't worth remembering, it wasn't going in his songs"
Curtis Loew is a fictional character. The store is real.
They don’t make music like this anymore.
They sure don’t
Can u imagine an Ariana Grande or a 21 Pilots even trying to do something like this?
I mean, what life experience can they possibly draw from?
An encounter on tik tok?
They really don't.
Check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
@jennyjenny4501 they do, actually. Check out One Horse Town Live in the Backyard, by Blackberry Smoke.
Ed King on slide guitar... so good... RIP.
loved his slide on Mr Banker
Im pretty sure it was Curtis
@@ricobonifacio1095 pretty sure it wasn't
I watched a documentary on LS and the relationship between Mr. King and the rest of the band was pretty interesting in the beginning. Cool cat tho, great guitarist. It's his voice you hear counting in the beginning of Sweet Home Alabama.
You're right I heard that too...
This song, and Tuesday's Gone....my two favorite from Skynyrd.
And 'All I can do is Write About it' makes a fantastic trio of masterpieces!
My addition to this list is Was I Right or Wrong - the story and baseline are exquisite.
Also Simple Man makes a nice trio!!
@@stevepastore7970 oh yes - absolutely - I had Free Bird, Simple Man, and Sweet Home as the holy trinity.
The needle and the spoon is a good one too!
Little boy loved that music so much he'd take whuppins for it!
It is actually glass bottles we'd turn in to gas stations for 10 cents each. Not cans. Love you guys. When I was a kid, I would gather them for grandmother and get her a Diet Coke and a Reeses Cup.
When I was a kid, they were 2 cents!
We got about 3 to 5 cents for each of our empty bottles.
@@bill8384right?? Penny candy money!
They were 0.02 cents when I was really young then went up to a nickel. Hot damn, we got a raise! But THEN they went up to TEN CENTS! We was rollin' in the dough! And if you found one of the big bottles, they were worth 0.25 cents! You were rich, plain and simple.
@@bill8384You sound like you could be around the same age as me. I lived out in the Country. I would walk up and down the roads looking for pop bottles. That was back in the late sixties early seventies. They were two cents a bottle. Then I remember when they went up to five cents. I am 66 years old. I hated those days but I still miss those days. I lived about three miles from town.But when you would walk three miles it seemed and felt like ten miles. 6:48 !
The original Skynyrd lineup was a once in a lifetime talent.
The even more important point of this was Lynyrd Skynyrd was a SOUTHERN ROCK band, representing the south, in the late 60's and early 70's. These are the people who are portrayed as racist folks, particularly by modern culture (SNL comes to mind). But, in truth, southerners aren't that at all, and this song is a testament to it! There is huge respect being communicated here!
Thank you Amber & Jay for reacting to this song.Probably my all time favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs .Love the story
-amazing !-
One of my favorite bands of all time. This floating down the river music 🎸🤘🏻
A fishing line to the plastic of a 6 pack in the water staying nice and cold. A Kentucky trick. ❤😂
it's swamp music :)
My Nana played Dobro in her 90s.. She was from the mountains of Virginia in Stanton and fishersville
I remember the Lithia Bluegrass festivals in that area.
Gods country. I live in Swoope
@@mikemiller3007 Dated a girl from there at Virginia tech EZPZ !
The deposit on soda bottles was 3 cents, 5 cents for quart bottles. Bottlers collected returned bottles from the stores and reused them. The Kids would collect them and usually buy penny candy or a candy bar and soda if you could collect enough bottles. He "woke the mornin' before the rooster crowed" to be the early bird that got the worm.
This a quasi-true story. Names and circumstances were changed to fit the song. Y'all hit the nail on the head, an old blues player affected some of the kids who would go on to play in one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Curtis Low is based on Shorty Medlocke. A white man whose son Ricky was a part of Lynyrd Skynyrd at different times throughout their existence. Ricky was also lead singer for Blackfoot. The harmonica solo at the beginning of Blackfoot’s version of Train, Train was performed by Shorty.
Shorty is Ricks grandfather who raised him
Shorty was Ricky's grandfather, not father. He wrote Train Train as well as performed on it.
Actually, Curtis Loew is a composite of different people. Most of those people actually being black. Shorty Medlocke was the only white guy among the people who inspired this song.
Gotta love some Blackfoot. Seen them with Molly hatchet, in the 80's in Dayton Ohio. One the best shows I have been to.
The Medlocke family are American Indian. Curtis Lowe is partly based on Shorty but also some other street musicians around Jacksonville.
Coke and Pepsi used to come in returnable, reusable bottles. Before aluminum cans, all soda machines were loaded with these bottles!
Nothing better than an ice cold Nehi grape soda back in the day!
And they tasted much better when they came in bottles.
We always checked the bottom of Coke bottles to see which plant they came from. Whoever got the most distant location won the game.
RC, Nehi, Dad's, everything that was in bottles were controlled by state laws and had various refund amounts.
When I was a boy in the early 70s that's how I made my soda and candy money, collecting those bottles and taking them to the store.
I’ve never heard this before… what a song!
So glad they introduced you to it!! I've loved it for decades!!
Ed King on slide guitar ( r I p ) ✨
They're all gone know.
I am a 62 year old white man in Alabama and even before I first heard this song in the 70's my dream was to sit on the porch with an old experienced black man who really knows the roots of blues and feels the music ( Belton Sutherland) . This song really hits home with me and has always been my favorite of Skynyrd. I have the vinyl album btw. Love your channel ❤🇺🇸🐓
The ultimate love song. This has always been a favorite of mine. There's a similar song from Kenny Rogers & The First Edition called Rueben James. Thank you so much for covering this song, I've been waiting for you to cover this!
Rueben James was also a ship!😮 look it up!
How we treat other people says nothing about them and everything about us. In order to be a good person, we just need to be a good person. It's that simple. Appreciate - Understand - Contribute
Amen my friend and well said.
One of my favorites by them. They àlways put on a great concert
I've got a DVD somewhere, maybe it's on youtube also, w/ Skynyrd playing this album & their 1st album, all the way thru, live on stage. Every Skynyrd fan should see it at least once...
Check out "I Know a Little" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, next!
I love this song. So underrated.
Also "Call me The Breeze". both will have them chair dancing
@miconis123 they did Call Me the Breeze about a year ago.
@@magneto7930 I saw that after going to look. I even watched it at the time and commented lol
@@miconis123 I was going to share the link with you, but the last several times I tried to do something like that RUclips wouldn't allow it. I don't know if they stopped people from doing that now or what.
I thought, they should listen to Gimme Three Steps. So I searched and you've already done it. So I went to check that out. First comment: Listen to Ballad of Curtis Loew. The circle is complete.
One of my favorites from skynyrd
My favorite Skynyrd tune, not just because it's a great song, but it's message is over the top great.
I’m a 70-year-old white man who has enjoyed the blues all his life. When I hear Curtis Lowe, I tear up every time.
Such a great song. Tears at your heart! So glad you did this song!!
possibly my favorite Skynyrd song. A little story. . . For about 15 years I lived in Jacksonville Beach. In 1999 my best friend died. We (myself and 3 other friends) took his ashes to the beach and poured them in. We played Freebird (his favorite song) as the incoming waves washed him away. Just about the time the song ended (It's a 10 minute song) the last of the ashes were gone.
Soda pop glass bottles back in the day would bring .10 cents a piece at a corner store. Soft drink company's ran through washers
and reused.
COULDN'T CLICK on this one FAST ENOUGH!!! YA'LL are gonna LOVE THIS ONE!!! Oh: how I MISS LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!! GREAT to see ya'll reacting to this one!! HUGS!
You’ve got to listen to Mr Banker from Lynyrd Skynyrd
I have requested it a couple times. I ❤️ that song! All LS!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd kings of southern rock where rock meets country and soul
For me this is their best song of all followed very closely by simple man
Hands down, the best Skynyrd tune. I used to work overnights for a classic rock station in a decent market, and if LS came up on the playlist, I'd always swap it out for this one every time.
Curtis Loew wasn't an actual person, but a representation of a few people in Ronnie Van Zant's life when he was growing up.
This 1 will stick with ya.
I've always loved this one. Such a feel good story with a bitter sweet ending. "On the day he lost his life that's all he had to loose".
My favorite skynyrd song
This is one of my favorite songs from Skynard ♥️
I once heard that in their prime, they played a small town venue (I think some place in Oregon), but they billed themselves as The Curtis Loew Band....it was still a sold out crowd, because the locals knew who it was.
This is my absolute favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Beautiful imagery inside these lyrics. Like a Norman Rockwell painting in song.
As a native Florida boy I was always proud to see Lynyrd Skynyrd become huge stars, and the fact that they were so damn good only made it better.
“One More Time” from Street Survivors album is another Skynyrd classic to react to. 😊🍺🍺
Amazing song
I knew y'all would enjoy this song! Glad you finally covered it.
First vinyl I bought. Such a great song
One of my favorite songs.
Wow, NEVER HEARD IT. Cant believe that. Amazing song!
Next- If you havent already done it, Tuesdays Gone
So glad they introduced you to it!! I have loved this song for decades!!😃👍😃
Just goes to show you: some people that judge people are not correct....and, we're ALL here for a REASON and are WORTH SOMETHING to SOMEONE!!
My favorite Skynrd song. Thanks for doing this one. :) "Mama used to whoop me but I'd go see him again" sounds like my whole childhood.
One of the few bands to openly admit who they got they swag from 😂😂😂
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. My top three and so thankful to be a teenager in the 70’s when this amazing music was being made 🙏
Southern roots rock, none better!
Tuesdays gone is my favorite. Thats hard because I love all Skynard 🎸
Please do, "Down South Jukin'"!
One of my all time favorite Skynyrd songs.
I saw them several times back in the day and this is one of my favorites.
You guys need to watch the documentary of Lynyrd Skynyrd called "If I leave here tomorrow." You will see why they are the greatest band of all time.
This song does what Blues ought to, makes you smile with a tear in your eye. I have played this a million times plus. Never leaves me dry.
Great great song. Needing this tune today. Heh, we were better off with glass bottles.. Great musicianship ... Great theme. Thanks. Great reaction.
Great song. Love Skynryd. And LOVE that Janis shirt!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is & always will be my favorite band. Followed by The Allman Brothers. In October 1977...We all lost💔
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Lynyrd Skynyrd songs to react to: "Saturday Night Special", "I Know a Little", "You Got That Right", "I Got the Same Old Blues", "I Never Dreamed", "Cry for the Bad Man", and "All I Can Do Is Write About It".
The whole album needs to be listened to
This is such a good song, another take on it is how much an older person, coach, teacher can offer a younger person without asking for anything in return and how that could possibly leave a huge impression on that child for a long time. As a coach of younger kids its a nice reminder when they get older, have some success and remember/appreciate some of the lessons you tried to impart on them when they were first starting out.
I'm so happy you all finally got to this. It's one of my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, but honestly I like every song on every album. But this is such a classic and I never get tired of hearing it, I always hear new things in it.
An Amber you are right, it was bottles and not cans, but the bigger difference is that, although the bottles would get reused after being washed out, it was different than recycling. There was a 5 or 10 cent deposit on glass bottles and if you returned them to the store, then they would give you that money back.
One of my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs!
As you know, Skynryd is a LEGEND but this us arguably one of their their best. Definitely my fave.
Great song by a great band! What a timeless classic! Next, check out The Needle And The Spoon, released in 74! ✌️
66 yr old white man love yall! Music is love love is music!
Lynyrd Skynyrd has so many great songs I can't pick a favorite but The Ballard of Curtis Loew is very near the top. I remember when Skynyrd first starting gaining popularity in the early 70's when I was still in high school I would buy every album as fast as they would come out and listen to them over and over. I still have all those albums to this day and I still get them out and listen to them with all the scratches and pops and lose myself in memories.
I had a Curtis Loew in my young days as a musician too. His name was Walter and he was the original guitarist for Percy Sledge. Lived next door to a friend of mine and we used to sit on the porch trading songs all day long. Every time I hear this song I think of Walt.
Such a great song...
That song always brings a tear to my eye. Curtis, if you can hear us up there, you are finally respected as you so richly deserved back when fools had the chance to love you.
Fantastic choice!!
Story behind the song. (Source: Songfacts)
"Curtis Loew is not the name of an actual person from Ronnie Van Zant's life. Rather, Curtis Loew is a composite of different people, including Skynyrd lead guitarist Ricky Medlocke's grandfather, Shorty Medlocke. Contrary to the song's lyrics, Shorty was not black. In a 1997 interview on the Lyve From Steel Town album, the band was quoted as jokingly saying, "We needed to 'color' the song up." According to Ronnie Van Zant's widow Judy Van Zant Jenness, the unusual spelling of "Loew" was Skynyrd guitarist Ed King's idea. When he was writing the liner notes for the Second Helping album, he decided to name the character after Loew's Theater - thus giving an old bluesman a Jewish name."
This song brought so manu tears to my eyes. Joy (the boy stomping his feet on time) hope (even if somebody is a wreck he’s still a human being) and sadness (when nobody went to his funeral)
10/10
Man, still goosebumps after almost 50 years! One of my all time favorite Skynyrd songs, music and lyrics. Thanks to you two!
Just can't get enough of that slide guitar solo. Next you gotta do WORKIN' FOR MCA. 3 guitar army at it's finest. 🔥🔥🔥
please do one more " Gary Rossington plays Freebird for the Final Time" at the Ryman Auditorium with his iconic red guitar, Rossington, who was the last surviving founding member, joins his fellow bandmates, "Lynyrd Skynyrd" for an emotional tribute to founding lead singer Ronnie Van Zant who was killed in 1977 along with three other bandmates in a devastating plane crash.
I've been waiting a long time for you guys to get to this tune. It is my number one favorite Skynyrd song. Love Ronnies story telling through music.
One of the best bands ever! Love Lynyrd Skynyrd ✌️❤️🎶
Much love to you both! Thank You.
Every southern town has a "Curtis Loew". Even in my time in Chicago, I worked with a real character who was a young boy when his parents moved north to Chicago in the late 20's. I always flashback to him when I hear "When the Levee Breaks."
Wow! The just covered my absolute favorite Skynyrd song!!!
Thanks guys! This happens to be my favorite LS song. Absolutely love this one❤
Have you guys ever watched the movie "Cadillac Records" definitely a must watch
Before even listening, IT'S ABOUT TIME.
Skynyrd has SO many top shelf songs, this one is right there with them.
Along with Tuesday's Gone, Call Me the Breeze, as well as all the radio staples for DECADES!!!!
Love this song, free bird, sweet home alabama, Tuesday's gone, the breeze, gimme three steps, etc
I think I can honestly say we had the best music ever in the 70’s and 80’s. So much greatness jammed in 2 decades.
This was my first introduction to Lynyrd Skynrd as a teenager . Not a bad introduction . Love the album and loved LS ever since . Have a good weekend all . ❤❤❤
My favorite Skynyrd song of all time. Back in the early 90s I called a radio station and they played this song for the first time in ages.
Ronnie never wrote down the lyrics to any of his songs. He wrote about his life that all people could relate to. Have a blessed day you two.
Love Leonard Skynyard!❤❤
My absolute favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song ever. Saw them a couple of years ago and was HOPING they would play it, and when that first note hit it was pure bliss for me 💗💓💗. Thanks for the video y'all 😊
Ol' Curt brings a tear to my eye...evey...single...time.
My all time favorite song by them.
Jay & Amber, For a great instrumental, Billy Preston’s “Outa Space”!!! Billy plays several different keyboards on this very funky song!!! This one will get you out of your chairs!!! (you have said you want to do some instrumentals)
Also, the best combination of piano and horns you’ll ever hear:
Downchild - “For Pete's Sake”. Jane Vasey on piano. Talk about a hidden gem, wow!!
My all time favorite Skynyrd song.
The great thing about Lynyrd Skynyrd is the fantastic use of 3 guitars and putting a story in the song
