Man if every child had a Curtis, we'd probably have a lot more great music
My Grandpa was my Curtis Loew ✌🏻❤️
Absolutely my friend we can all still go and find one they are still here
I’ve always considered this a true love story. The pure, sweet love between a boy and a grandfather figure and the music of the soul called the Blues. This song is also a beautiful testimony to the fact that your geography or skin color does NOT make you a racist. The band Skynyrd could not have embodied that fact more yet were so unfairly labeled as racist.
If politicians would stop separating us as human beings we would be so much better off.
@@Biden_Cult_Morons Amen
For real. I'm a southerner born and raised and I love all people. Don't matter none to me who you are or what color your skin is. God created us all equal. ✌️♥️✝️🙏🇺🇲
It was a true story
I will be playing this song at my dads funeral. He’s a Vietnam vet, combat hero and I love him.
As a 57 year old white guy, with a history of appreciation for a lot of their music ... I'm happy that a brother my own age (of ANY skin color) can understand the beauty of "Curtis Lowe."
Sometimes I feel alone in this.
This particular song is truly, one of my favorites.
Thanks for taking the time to listen to the whole song, my friends.
I've always loved Curtis Lowe .
Respect to you Mr. Wayne !!!!! Coming from a 21 year old black male
I've held this as one of my favorite songs since it was fresh ala '73 was it? You gentlemen were also quite enjoyable and it was fun to see the more senior gentleman break into smiles at all the right moments.
This was the first track on the flip side of Second Helping. I was a teen living at home and Jeff was our 23 year old friend who had a house, and a great stereo. Its a good thing my mom didn't know what went on around there. It was about the time I heard Montrose for the first time and "Jimi Hendricks Experience" He played this album for me and for a Northwest boy I became quite a southern rock fan. (this isn't exactly rock but the context... Wonderful.
The older I get the more this song makes me wish I had talked with my grandfather more.
If I had only realized then, all of our history being hidden & altered by the Global Elites, to maintain their control over the rest of us. Sports & Girls were all that was important to me at that age, and I had all of the knowledge I'm still searching for today, right there at my own Family Reunions.
Curtis Loew was a real man. The song is a tribute to him.
Unfortunately, Curtis was fictional, but the store was real! ^^ recently torn down in fact. It was called "Claude's" when Ronnie lived down the street from it.
@@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...story is true name was changed didn’t want his grave to get desecrated by the public
It was Ricky Medlocke’s Grandfather Shorty Medlocke whom he would go see play his Dobro. Ricky was an original member of Skynyrd and would go on to form the Band Black Foot and is at last I saw back with Skynyrd.
Real true story
100% false.. He was not a real person
Born in 1965, I grew up in the seventies. Lynyrd Skynyrd is my first favorite band. Please check out their song Call Me The Breeze.
1962 here..best music ever.
oh man yeah
That song never fails to make me cry; especially at the end when he says "play me a song" again, because you can tell he would give anything to hear Curtis play for him again. And he just wants everyone to know he's always going to be the best.
This is a tribute to all the blues player who have come and gone - Respect... R.I.P.
Ronnie was a fantastic story teller and had a lot of interesting things happen to write songs about.😉 This song always strikes a cord in me how children very often see "The Truth" in life that adults are numb to. Skynyrd was a staple in my youth. I didn't see the original band (I was too young) but I did see them twice after.
Most definatly
My first favorite band.
@@ritayprice3510
Mine too, I Saw Skynyrd in ‘76 at Chicago’s Soldier Field and in 2016
I’ve seen them many times. Lucky enough to see Ronnie when I was a kid thanks to my MUCH older sibs.
I actually delivered a pizza to Jonny in 1987 on Thanksgiving totally unaware. One of the best nights of my lives lol
The first time I heard a Lynyrd Skynyrd song was in 1974, and of course it was "Sweet Home Alabama." But the next song I heard was "The Ballad of Curtis Loew," and it has stuck with me ever since. A true Southern rock tribute to the blues originals. Makes me cry every time. Love me some blues.
from your comment I can guess I would like you should we meet :)
What he said
It shows the true appreciation they had for the blues, and one in particular that made a big influence on a young man. For the time this was written and recorded, they were as down to earth as it gets.
Amen
Great pic.
Not sure why you were walking on eggshells trying to describe the song. I don't think there was anything Politically Incorrect about it. Justice song about a man's childhood mentor. Or you could say a man who strongly influenced his outlook on life and music.
When I was about 12 everyone loved Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama but The Ballad Of Curtis Loew was always my favorite. I'm not sure why it just stood out to me as a soulful Testament to the power of music and simplicity.
Keeping it real and down-to-earth.
I felt the same confusion about the Uncle Jim comment. If anything it's quite the opposite. He saw the man for who he was and the talent he possed.
@@deanna777his name isn't uncle jim💀
You should watch the documentary "If I leave here tomorrow". It actually tells the story behind this song. It's more of a compilation of Ronnie Van Zant's boyhood heroes in the blues and an early band member and friend in his teens whose dad was a musician that played a dobro on his front porch for the boys.It's not really about just one particular black bluesman but more of Ronnie's perspective being a young southern kid who loved blues music.
Shorty Medlocke
@rpont953 Exactly right. Read my comment.
wow that interesting
You may not believe this but that was the sound that became Rock and Roll...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC
There were 3 of the VanZant brothers: Ronnie who founded and fronted Lynyrd Skynyrd and died in the plane crash, Donnie who founded and fronted 38 Special, and Johnny who helped resurrect and fronts Lynyrd Skynyrd now!
"Simple Man" is a must hear from them along with others listed in comments!!
Johnny didn’t resurrect Skynard bro. He sucks and, in my opinion, shouldn’t be profiting of his brothers likeness. Can you imagine impersonating your brother for money? Lame AF.
Life long Skynyrd fan here. 1st time listener. That song was a metaphor for a "real person" named Shorty Medlock. I've got to give a back story for you to understand.
If you look at the cover of the album "First and Last," the band at the time had a young man that played the drums and sang a few lesser known Skynyrd songs that he had written named "Ricky Medlock". Medlock is a Blackfoot Indian and was a childhood friend of Ronnie VZ. and is in the back row of the picture on that album cover. He went on to found his own successful band, "Blackfoot". He went on with that band for some 20 yrs until 1996, when he rejoined the rebuilt Skynyrd with the surviving members (They had a plane crash in '77 that killed Ronnie and others but not everyone) of Skynyrd as 1 of 3 lead guitar players that the band arrangement always had and they are still alive and play. Amazing guys that made a came back with Ronnie's youngest brother Johnny VZ as he sounded the closest to Ronnie's voice and is good. (Ronnie has a 3rd brother that sings in another successful band, ".38 Special" named Donnie VZ).
So back to Shorty. He was Ricky's M. grandfather. He was a great musician in his own right and influenced them as boys and the song is about him in reality.
Blackfoot: "Strikes" was the bands 1st and most successful album. The song "Train, Train" is still played on Classic Rock radio stations. Shorty plays that opening famous harmonica intro.
On their 3rd album "Marauder," On the 8th track, the song "Rattlesnake Rock 'N' Roller; at the very beginning intro, the man talking then playing a little banjo is Shorty. So Shorty was the Real Curtis Lowe.
Skynyrd has a fascinating history with their historical story and huge success and they came from nothing. Ronnie got killed at the height of his career and influenced many. (Raw Talent, Brilliant story teller, with positive song messages) Check out Blackfoot and 38 Special. Their all tied together and all are great bands in their on right.
BTW. Their Not racist despite the confederate flag thing. It's quite the contrary. Not 1 racist slur in any of their material. They represented the South Land and that's what that means to them, not a hate symbol. Just wanted to make sure that point is clear. Every song they made is good.
Thanks for sharing!
Peace out! ✌️
40 year old from Amazon and this is my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song 💓
Such great storytelling of a child experiencing blues music
This to me has always been the most underrated song in the Skynyrd catalog. Definitely one of their best!
All across the Mississippi Delta where i grew up every big to lil town had their bluesmen that would play the blues in many a blues bar or Honky Tonk as they were called way back. What alot of people didnt understand was alot of these guys were way more famous outside the Delta and more than a few outside the country..some of our bluesman were invited to play for the Royalty of England and then brought back to their dusty delta town only for some to make their way to Chicago , New York and other large cities to play for the masses of adoring fans...we love our bluesmen here and keep their spirits alive by remembering and copying certain styles to keep alive our memories of Curtis Lowe inwhich Ronnie Van Zant sang and Sam Chapman of Hollandale Ms...Muddy Waters of Rolling Fork Ms...Son Thomas of Leland Ms...B.B. King of Indianola Ms...and so so many more than can all be mentioned here...They loved to play and we loved to listen..and still do 🇺🇲
I always imagine Curtis sitting up in heaven smiling down, knowing he influenced one of the greatest bands to ever play Southern Rock.
Ronnie wrote songs about his life. This is a true story. One of the best bands ever!! I saw them in Houston, Texas in the early 70's. Amazing.
Man Mojo. You've been tapping into the classics.
I did a tour with Gene Odom, Ronnie’s best childhood friend, who took us to the store where they took the coke bottles to, and they would get cash back. I think it was called Woodcrest store. I have a picture of Gene and I in front of the store. Sadly, the store was torn down, but it was in Ronnie Van Zant and Gene’s neighborhood.
Very cool
Back in the day hunting soda bottles was a thing for sure, we covered some territory! Lol
@@kenneth9874 it was. We did it, too.
Love the cool hats.
Enjoyed listening to that with y'all. I don't think you can go wrong with anything from Skynyrd. I'm a huge fan of the deep cuts from their albums. The songs Made in the Shade, and Things Going On are a couple y'all would enjoy.
me too from London
Rickey Medlocke (Blackfoot & Skynyrd guitarist, and a former drummer for Skynyrd in the early days right before they hit big) is quoted as saying that Ronnie got the idea for this song partly from Rickey's grandfather, Shorty Medlocke, and if you don't know him check out Blackfoot's Train Train. Shorty does all the harmonica work in the song, and partly from the black bluesman Sun House, who's music RVZ absolutely loved.
Hey.i just read blind owl..Allen Wilson from canned heat re-taught sun house how to play guitar after yrs of drinking not playing he also was in that under 27 club glad you mentioned him!!
Ronnie was a beautiful writer and had such respect for all . This song shows the innocence of a 10 year old white boy just diggin the blues from ole Curtis but getting polluted from a mother who used to whoop him. Kids have no prejudice . It is taught to them but stupid adults . Beautiful song
Respect for all when he wasn't drunk. Drunk Ronnie was a sucker puncher and a biter.
Whoooo! Love the older gentleman! Just love.
The world would be a much better place if we all got along together like we did back then. Me and all my friends ( black and white ) never saw color, it meant nothing to us!!!!!!
much love gentlemen!
This is my fishing song! A lot of people fish rubber worms too fast on slow days. So i cast out sing a few lines then move my bait a little. Then sing the same lines and then move the rubber worm at the same word. over and over it makes a fish attracting pattern. This forces me to fish slower[and it is more fun then counting] . Change the word you move it on to find a good bait speed. I have caught a lot of big bass thanks to the Ballad of Curtis Loew.
I was fortunate enough to see them in concert and watch them play that song
I'll reiterate an earlier post, They call me the breeze from Skynyrd will definitely get Pops moving. Great video guys.
One of my favorites, I got to see them live a couple times.
What a great way to honor a man's life.
Subbed, great reaction.
I love your uncle he’s a character man that laugh cracks me up, I’m so happy to see so many people from all kinds of backgrounds listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, everyone says they’re racist but those people all are FOOLS! In my opinion everyone needs to hear this song at least one time! I’m 19 and my dad is 61 he was in high school when the plane crash happened and his older brother got to see them before the plane crash but he wouldn’t take my dad because he didn’t want a 15 year brother old tagging along with him and his girlfriend😂😂 I grew up listening to them though and all of these songs inspired me to learn how to play guitar like they did and damnit I learned the whole free bird solo a year ago. Music is a way of bringing all people together and to forget about all the sad crazy shit that goes on in the world. Great video guys!
Mason jar with some ice on the bottom and Jack on top. Appreciate this. Cheers. Curtis Loew inspired Ronnie & crew to play this sweet southern blues.
Hey Mojo, where you guys been. lol Nice seeing you and your Uncle back turning out the classics~ Love me some southern rock. RIP: Ronnie Van Zant, Steve & Cassie Gaines U R Missed 💔💔💔
Nicely played Guys! Take a listen to "Call me the breeze." There's a live version from '76 a must see! Y'all rock...spread the love😎🇺🇸
What a enjoyable and very good reaction, god bless
I love this reaction with your Pops, man. ❤ So moving.
One of my all time favorit songs
I love you both wish y’all the best
the song is about Ronnie when he was youg going to Ricky Madocks house listing to his foather play his dobro
Shorty Medlocke
yall would like my favorite Skynyrd songs, MADE IN THE SHADE, MISSISSIPPI KID, THING'S GOIN' ON.
The dude on the right is literally what I thought Curtis would look like 😂
I’ve just found you and am enjoying catching up on your reactions. This is one of my favorite Skynyrd songs. I’m also a country fan and I see you react to many genres. If you haven’t tried Eric Church you should. He’s an amazing singer and songwriter. He has a track called Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones (one he didn’t write) that’s a stretch on the Ballad of Curtis Loew. Don’t know how you both might like it but I LOVE it!! Love you two and the way you research the history of the artists. Great job! ♥️♥️ BTW, I live in south MS about 45 miles from where Skynyrd crashed. There’s a monument there now that I haven’t visited yet but want to. What a great loss.
R.I.P. Ronnie, Steve, and Cassie. 💔♥️
😁those smiles are so infectious,thank you for that!
Love this tune! Always been a fav of mine! 💞
Such a bittersweet song.
I like this song, it’s a good representation of how music changed his life.
They’re playing Ol Curtis a song or two now. Long live Skynyrd.
"I ain't no expert -- I just do what I do!" Love it!
Thank You for paying attention! Very much appreciated
Stevie VanZandt is Bruce Springsteen's guitarist and Consigliere of the DeMeo/Soprano Crime Family lol.
Great reaction gentlemen
respect to pops
Damn this song always gets to me. I love it.
This is my first video of yours. A brother wearing a Redskins jacket listening to Skynyrd sing about Curtis Loew with his Dad. That's the most 100 thing ever. Thank You. Simple Man by Skynyrd - check it out. I think you'll love it.
Yeah, that is cool! They can come over to my place for a beer anytime!
I remember the summer of 1984 this was the only song I played over and over in my then boyfriend’s cassette player in his car. He threatened to throw it out the window. Great memories!
Yes Sir!
I think you guys would really like Skynyrd's "All I Can Do Is Write About It". It's about the life you knew passing away far to quickly. It has some deep meaning.
Love the jacket! Great reaction too! lol
Railroad Song is a must listen
My favorite song!
He actually passed in 1960 and Curtis wasn't his real name but he was definitely a real old black guy with soul ...
Love the reaction, lynyrd, and the skins!!!
Heyyyyy first time watcher. Keep your uncle/grandpa on the channel playing these old songs
First time seeing you alls channel. Great reaction to a great song.
I grew up listening to southern rock country gospel and bluegrass.
LS was one of my favs.
My main men Mojo and Uncle Ted! A little late to this reaction. That pesky job thing gets in the way sometimes! Enjoyed seeing you react to classic Skynyrd.
The most underrated song of theirs is write it in a song y'all should do a reaction to it
Mister MoJo Mystic✌🏼and love all around bro. Hey if y'alls aint tried sampling Lynyrd Skynyrd song called
""Mr.Banker"". Then let me explain. If y'all want to hear one of their old delta blues tracks, then this is a must listen. Down home southern rock blues! Y'all will not be disappointed.... Please react to this major underrated song by this incredible iconic band...
I know Uncle Ted will be enjoying this tune!
Loved you two and the reaction!
The character according to Ronnie was actually an amalgam of several people who lived around Ronnie's old neighborhood, the name "Curtis Leow" was created by Skynyrd guitarist Ed King.
And no Ronnie Van Zant and Steven Van Zandt (notice the d) are not related. Ronnie did have at least two other brothers though: Johnny, who took over as Skynyrd's lead singer when they reunited in 87, and Donnie, who co-founded .38 Special.
It is a great song about memories ..I wore out the album Second Helping
Thank you for the good review. Check out any of their songs.....all good songs!
I love this song. it goes deep.
I commented a while ago and just wanted to say two things.
I hope your dad is doing fine because he's a great human being, and the NOLES are playing tonight, but they are behind Georgia. Happy New Year.
pops, ur a good man. you done a fine job. Peace to u and yours.
Can't do it today, but yes we used to go out in the morning and collect the bottles, also sometimes you would hit the jackpot by checking the telephone booth coin change box.... great times
For the love of music...! ❤️
Your dads face in the beginning had me laughin lol. I couldn’t tell if he liked it or not 😂❤
I love that song!
Loved your reaction, I listened to these guys in high school
GREAT Song!!!
Great reaction. Enjoyed that!
Excellent reaction to what is now a Southern Rock Classic. Curtis Loew, Reuben James by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition and Catfish John by Johnny Russell, all 3 tell the similar story. Reuben James is my personal favorite of the 3.
Curtis Lowe was a composite of all the main people who taught him to play. Most were family members. But it's a nice story. By the way, I'm from Jacksonville, FL. Jacksonville produced, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, and 38 Special. They use to swap out band members to play gigs around town to make up a band.
And the Allman Brothers
Just found you guys in the side bar and I'm glad I did! It was great to kick back and listen to this tune with you guys! I'm subbing for more!
I love this song cause we had a black man in the neighborhood and us little white kids would be playing in the neighborhood and he would be playing what he called his Git fiddle guitar and we too would all sit down and watch Mr. Rich pick the blues on his ole guitar I miss those days we never got our butts whooped but our parents knew where to find us by his old garage and sometimes there was another guy who had an acoustic bass and they would play together every once in awhile all of his kids moved away so I guess he loved playing for us kids and he always would tell us it's super time you chillins better git on home so y'all don't get in trouble man good memories when he passed away we did get to go to his funeral with his family they were so nice but it was sad none of them did anything with his house and it finally fell down over time best times of my life being a young kid
Curtis Lowe moves me! I’m live Wyoming
Similar to what happened to my father who was 7 and picking soda cans from 4-6 am in the morning and brought them to the corner to a store nearby a gasoline station and giving his money to an unknown old man who played his old banjo he was only wearing a jacket and worn out shorts and has no bed nor pillows and that man died at the 2nd month of their friendship he was at his 70s when he died. Papa did not know about this until a week later when he asked the gasoline boy where he was and told him that he died already and was buried near a field of an abandoned house located meters away from the store
20th October 1977. The day our music died. #RIPRVZ
I am 60, I remember these times, the flag didn't represent hate for all of us, it was just a place we loved ! Still no disrespect!
You can't wear a cowboy and redskins jacket together. Lighting gonna strike. Keep up the great reactions.
-Cowboy fan
Check out Brooks and Dunn "Believe" . You'll love it
Love that Steely Dan y'all had playing in the background while you were talking lol 💯
Keep it up you two
I love that jacket, I used to have one exactly like it when we used to have a team called the Washington Redskins. Now they're called the Washington "Commies."
I miss the days of songs that tell stories and I'm only 40.
You bros are killin it!
