When my kid was growing up, I often played Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sunday mornings if we didn’t get to church. I always started off with Curtis Loew! Great song
I grew up on gospel country. But I like southern rock and Texas blues,,, But I love the acustic sound. So that's what I play mostly,,,,,this song is special to me I used to ride my bicycle around on old sandy dirt roads in fla, when I was a boy picking up bottles to exchange for money buy myself a coke hotdog and bag a chips,, those we good days gone now,,,,,
I've got them on my Spotify right now. Another great southern rock band. Also love Jamey Johnson, Sturgil Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Shooter Jennings, and Motor.
Brings me back to discovering Skynyrd... getting same buzz all over again. Thank you Charlie Starr and Blackberry smoke Long live Ronnie and the Skynyrd...Thank you for the music
Good Lord...I'm in heaven just listening to this....I play unplugged southern rock all the time and it is so hard to find a crowd who loves like this. Charlie Starr is the Real Deal. I'm re-energized to play music just listening to these guys
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Dariel Elisha Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Instead of he lived to be sixty, it should go "Ole Curt was a black man, with white curly hair... But I'm not trying to criticize, I'm just a music maniac! BBS rules.. saw you guys in tupelo Ms a few years back and loved it. Keep on representing the real southern spirit. God bless the boys from Smoke and the fans who love them. R. I. P. Ronnie... We love and miss you brother.
EXCELLENT JOB, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME. THANKS, YOU GUY'S HAVE THE SPIRIT OF RONNIE IN THE SONG, R.I.P. MR. RONALD WAYNE VAN ZANT, I WILL SEE YOU IN ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN MY FRIEND, COUSIN FIGEL
@@stancarpenter7358 I love everything from Reggae to Rave, Rap to Country... and have a Rancid "Life Won't Wait" tattoo, DJ S3RL angel (from I'll See You Again), as well as "Troubles will come, and they will pass." I don't care what genre it is, I just love music, and if it sounds "good" to me, you bet I'm gonna listen to it!
@@stancarpenter7358 Also, seeing Skynyrd with my mom on her birthday was one of the best shows I've ever seen.... yeah, it was 2018, so I believe that Gary Rossington was the only remaining founding member, but I wasn't born until 1984, so it would have been impossible for me to see the original lineup anyway. All I know is, Ronnie has to be proud of his younger brother, Johnny, as well as the rest of the band, it was like listening to the albums I grew up with!
Curtis Lowe is one of my all time favorite songs!!! Charlie, YOU ROCKED IT!! I cannot wait until I see y'all gain! It's been way too long! Love EVERYTHING ABOUT Y'ALL! Thanks for bringin' back southern rock with an awesome style and I will be seein' y'all pretty soon. N.O.La
Awesome Charlie,I was fortunate enough to see skynyrd with little feet and Lowell George in New Haven a week or 2 before the plane crash and it was an awesome show!!👍👍👍
jerry rinaldi - o man that is so cool! I were but a wee laddie, um, 8, 10 yrs mebbe. Wish'd Ida seen them back ina day. Also, it's Little Feat, not feet, but hey, S'ok, U Is number 1 with me, o day!
My God in Heaven is truly the creator of the universe. He has now raised another saint from the grave. I've literally fought over Lynyrd Skynyrd and I know Ronnie Van Zant when I hear him crack a smile. Its good to see you again my brother, its been a long time.
SUCH AN AWESOME SONG -- AND A KILLER RENDITION OF IT AS WELL--BBS AND CHARLIE - BENJI-and Da rest ALL HAVE SUCH FEELING-SOUL-AND TALENT !!!!!! GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!
One of my top 5 L.S. songs and my fav. off of Second Helping. Love how Charlie just rolls with the mistakes and keeps it going. IMO he's the best frontman out there these days. Blackberry Smoke Forever!!
Its songs like this and performers like BBS and Charlie Starr that are proof that the Southern Rock sound will live on because this band not only does many songs from different southern rock bands they have their own songs that are no shabby at all down right awesome as a matter of fact and will I'm sure produce some classics themselves Rock on BBS
Well ok, So I have been avoiding BBS for quite some time for some reason. I think being older I was mad that we are losing or have lost so many of the great southern and vintage rock band members. The Allman Brothers have retired and most of Skynyd is gone, I am feeling like a whole generation of great musicians are gone. I refuse to even turn on a radio any more due to the crap I would hear.... But I am going to go back and listen to some BBS and try to listen with a more open mind. Anyone who can sing RVZ this well including the inflections did not just start doing it lately, I am touched to hear someone do this song this well and maybe I just didn't give BBS the chance they deserved. Peace all !
I'd start from The Whippoorwill, and then move on to LIttle Piece Of Dixie. Unfortunately the "new" album hasn't quite lived up to those, although I do like the song Payback's a bitch.
Michael Watkins - I think you'll be glad you did. BBS just got it. In an age where records/cds/albums are well, not the way they used to be, they are doing quite well. Just fabulous.
Ballad of Curtis Loew Lynyrd Skynyrd Well, I used to wake the mornin' Before the rooster crowed Searchin' for soda bottles To get myself some dough Brought 'em down to the corner Down to the country store Cash 'em in, and give my money To a man named Curtis Loew Old Curt was a black man With white curly hair When he had a fifth of wine He did not have a care He used to own an old Dobro Used to play it 'cross his knee I'd give old Curt my money He'd play all day for me Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew Well, I got your drinkin' money Tune up your Dobro People said he was useless Them people all were fools 'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker To ever play the blues He looked to be sixty And maybe I was ten Mama used to whoop me But I'd go see him again I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet Try to stay in time He'd play me a song or two Then take another drink of wine Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew Well, I got your drinkin' money Tune up your Dobro People said he was useless Them people all were fools 'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker To ever play the blues Yes, sir On the day old Curtis died Nobody came to pray Ol' preacher said some words And they chunked him in the clay Well, he lived a lifetime Playin' the black man's blues And on the day he lost his life That's all he had to lose Play me a song Curtis Loew, hey Curtis Loew I wish that you was here so Everyone would know People said he was useless Them people all were fools 'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker To ever play the blues
Ronnie Van zant was the most awsome Singer that ever lived. In my opinion!!!! Lynyrd Skynyrd 67 - 77 is my most favorite band!!! Lots of other people and bands but Lynyrd Skynyrd was the best!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, this works since I couldn't be there last night. Gonna make one of those Attic shows and come see you boys. Thanks Benji - sucks Charlie was sick, I had it too. We all did. Of course y'all sound FANTASTIC, as usual. Takes me back, man.
Curtis Loew is kind of a simple song, but one that is surprisingly difficult to play and sing well. Great job, Charlie and friend, in spite of the lyrics screwup. I like it…
Me too 11 my brothers 2 nd helping on a mcintosh system w klipsch horns..got my ass beat for turnin that thing on but i couldn't stop!! He had 1k albums now its 10+ I always say....2nd helping still!!

When my kid was growing up, I often played Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sunday mornings if we didn’t get to church. I always started off with Curtis Loew! Great song
I cried when everybody started singing along. "In the strangest of places if you look at it right."
Bless you Charlie, Ronnie was a humble dude who'd have eaten this up.
I grew up on gospel country. But I like southern rock and Texas blues,,,

I've said it before,BBS, is as good as it gets in southern rock today.
I love them to but you need to look up whiskey myers
I've got them on my Spotify right now. Another great southern rock band. Also love Jamey Johnson, Sturgil Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Shooter Jennings, and Motor.
and Cadillac 3
They are the best. There are other bands, other artists, but BBS has songwriting that simply amazes me. Gorgeous songs.
Agree Dirk. BBS new album is amazing. Every one gets better. Check out Sturgil Simpson if you haven't.
Brings me back to discovering Skynyrd... getting same buzz all over again.
Thank you Charlie Starr and Blackberry smoke
Long live Ronnie and the Skynyrd...Thank you for the music
One of my favorites by Skynyrd and Charlie does it real fine.

How anyone can give this a thumbs down is beyond me.

When I listen to BlackBerry smoke so do my neighbors
LOL! Good on you - spread the word! ;-)
Play me a song Curtus Lowe🌹👑💙🎶🎸🕯
🤣🤣
I still enjoy that comment every time.
One of Skynyrd's finest songs.Smoked & drank to it many a time.
Hands down my favorite Skynyrd song. Nice job!
My favorite Skynyrd tune! Blackberry Smoke does so many great covers, I would LOVE to hear them do this, and "You Got That Right"!
"You got that right" was written by Steve Gaines
Not enough guitars
I wanna hear "things going on"
Awesome band in every way!! Coming up to Michigan Fillmore in Detroit in December. So lookin forward to it👍🇺🇸
BlackBerry Smoke is today great creator of southern rock are what's happening today!
One of my top 5 L.S. songs and my fav. off of Second Helping. Love how Charlie just rolls with the mistakes and keeps it going. IMO he's the best frontman out there these days. Blackberry Smoke Forever!!
Great song but my faves are I Need You and The Needle and the Spoon off Second Helpin' but the whole album is flawless

Who gives a flying petunia if Charlie messes up... [When they are drunk]. Thanks Eric for the clip with Charlie and Benji. Lili Kiki in France.
I used to jam this in the Barracks (Schofield) back in 1977. Drowned out all the disco B.S.
Thanks for your service, from a fellow U.S. Army veteran (1972-1974).
Hooah! 00-04!
06-present
From myself and my family, I sincerely want to thank all of you veterans! God bless all of you!
So, you had to drown out shitty music, back then, too, huh? These days it's that shit that passes for rap, that I have to drown out...
Charlie Star.
What a star you are!
Seen em 3 times! Epic, Luv this Dude!
Looks like a awesome venue.
Audience participation adds to the energy of the place and the musicianship.
Great choice in posting this one Eric
Eddie’s Attic is an amazing venue. Small and intimate with immaculate sound.
Right on Ronnie! U r luvd!
That was really good. Ronnie would be proud. ❤️
Love me some Charlie
Miss the days you could hear skynard, zeppelin, Marshall tucker, yes on the same radio station. Music was the great common ground
Ain't that the truth!!!
I was so fortunate to get to see all those bands in the 70s
I don’t feel so bad now even the big timers miss a verse here and there haha!! Still phenomenal!!! Love these cats!!
Me and Danny used play this song a lot he could sing pretty well also . Miss him...
Charlie Starr, as well as all of the members of BBS are just awsome musicians, still haven't seen them live, but hope to soon✌😎👍
Note for note slide work. That is very impressive. Awesome tribute.
Oh my lord ! Just awesome thank you
Thank you Charlie

Ballad of Curtis Loew
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Well, I used to wake the mornin'
Before the rooster crowed
Searchin' for soda bottles
To get myself some dough
Brought 'em down to the corner
Down to the country store
Cash 'em in, and give my money
To a man named Curtis Loew
Old Curt was a black man
With white curly hair
When he had a fifth of wine
He did not have a care
He used to own an old Dobro
Used to play it 'cross his knee
I'd give old Curt my money
He'd play all day for me
Play me a song
Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Well, I got your drinkin' money
Tune up your Dobro
People said he was useless
Them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
To ever play the blues
He looked to be sixty
And maybe I was ten
Mama used to whoop me
But I'd go see him again
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet
Try to stay in time
He'd play me a song or two
Then take another drink of wine
Play me a song
Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Well, I got your drinkin' money
Tune up your Dobro
People said he was useless
Them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
To ever play the blues
Yes, sir
On the day old Curtis died
Nobody came to pray
Ol' preacher said some words
And they chunked him in the clay
Well, he lived a lifetime
Playin' the black man's blues
And on the day he lost his life
That's all he had to lose
Play me a song
Curtis Loew, hey Curtis Loew
I wish that you was here so
Everyone would know
People said he was useless
Them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker
To ever play the blues
Charlie Starr just, simply, F#$%^@N' RULES!
I love the real Skynyrd better than anyone and Charlie does their music better than ANYONE has since. Roll Gypsy Roll by him is awesome.
Thank You Charlie!! Long Live Skynyrd Music!!!
Blackberry Smoke is picking up Where Skynyrd Left!! Love it!!!
Ronnie Van zant was the most awsome Singer that ever lived. In my opinion!!!! Lynyrd Skynyrd 67 - 77 is my most favorite band!!! Lots of other people and bands but Lynyrd Skynyrd was the best!!!!!!!!!!!
I truly believe that Ronnie and the Skynyrd band had a lotta be grateful for and, didn't mind showing it...
Curtis Loew tune up you Dobro in heaven; heavenly music
Who but Charlie Star to play this tune?
Thanks so much for sharing Eric. ....
Great great cover!!
Greetings all n thumbs up to this vid !!Choice blues
Dang near brought a tear to my eye!
Love This tune,poppa.
RIP Ronnie, Charlie's doin you proud....I think even Johnnie probably agrees..even though he's brother proud.
When switching to guitar, drummers have the advantage of having the rythym part already taken care of! Great cover of this awesome song!👍😎🎸🎶
I seen them in Bayfield Wis.two weeks ago. Outstanding concert. I'm going to see then in sturgis SD. next month
Sweet…. It doesn’t get much better than this ☺️
What a great crowd!! Amazing
Charlie you need to show up at the Station Inn Nashville
You have some great videos - 100% real - This one gives me chills every time.
That was smoking hot..awesome shit!!
Always a fuckin pleasure... Legendary by their own rights.
Damn slide work is great
it is just perfect ❤️
happy birthday mr vanzant
I understand the crowd wanting to sing along, really wish they hadn't. FANTASTIC Cover!
at least they didn't clap along on the 1 and 3...or all 4 beats.
yes they need to shut up
bigdawgfan72
yall can kiss my ass. I was one of them singing along.
Rusty Nelson hell yeah Rusty! How couldn't you!!! Fuck em!
I just Seen These Cats last Night in kent ohio,awesome band,poppa.
Great great job on this

Very very nice!👏👏👏
Love love Charlie Starr and his band of Brothers...None finer!
All I know to say is I love it.
great job
Curtis Loew is kind of a simple song, but one that is surprisingly difficult to play and sing well.
Great job, Charlie and friend, in spite of the lyrics screwup.
I like it…
Love It,Poppa.
My favorite song 😎👍
BBS is the best!
They are both amazing!
I would have really loved this a lot better if the crowd would have been quiet and let me listen to him- dang it!
Funny how I learned guitar from a drummer as well God Bless my Old Buddy Marco!
how in the hell do 162 people not like this?
still a good question mr McCarty
BBS, cody jinks and colter wall and tyler childers. That's my music. All i wanna hear.
Best cover so far!
Thanks so much for all the vids Eric :)
It's such a great lyric....I'd sing it twice too!
I'd love to hear these guys play some swamp music by Skynyrd
I LOVE this song well done
They got all of that one.
thank god i ended up here....go charlie :)
