My favorite song by them. It's so good, you didn't even stop it. lmao. It's strong right out of the gates and just keeps picking up steam, right through to the end.
When this title popped up, I said to myself: "Oh man, Jamel is gonna LOVVVVE this one! This is right up his alley! Pure rock and roll mixed with lots of boogie-woogie!"
Billy Powell on the piano is really amazing! Hard to believe he started out as a roadie and when they were packing up after a show, he saw a piano and went over and said this is what I would add to Free Bird and played. His roadie days were over!
Billy was actually a classically-trained pianist and had a lot of trouble adjusting to playing honky tonk. Ed King told him "hey, Billy,, you're in a southern rock band. Embrace it." He most certainly did
OMG....My husband and I are retired full time Rv’ers and we are in Montana right now. I’m being lazy laying in bed and I put my headphones on and jammin to this song. Next thing I know my husband comes in our room making sure everything is ok because the trailer was shaking 😂😂😂😂😂. This is my favorite song by Lynard Skynard. Thank you so much
One of my all time fave Skynyrd songs. Once was rocking out to the song in my car, singing and drumming like a madman, until the cop pulled me over for speeding. I told him that Call me the Breeze from Skynyrd was on the radio and I lost track of my speed. He said "Great song!" and gave me a warning!!!
Wow, that’s awesome but also actually hilarious, I literally just saw a meme on the internet the other day that said exactly, “I’m sorry I was speeding officer, but ya know I was listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd”. The moment I read that, Call Me the Breeze was the first song to come to mind! It puts me in a happy place every time.
904!!!! My great aunt taught at Lee back in the day. She didn’t teach any of the guys in Skynyrd though. By the time they were in School, she was either at Fletcher or head of the English dept at the school board. I went to wolfson, much much later… but I love me some Skynyrd
My man Gary Rossington tearing it up on that lead guitar! Yeeeee haaaaa! And Billy Powell slapping them piano keys!!!! And I love those horns! Such a high energy performance!
Not enough people know how much JJ influenced Eric Clapton. Eric covered After Midnight. And did an album together. Also Don Williams (Tulsa Time) was a big vocal influence on Eric. Jamel should spin some Cale and Williams. Your audience will dig them.
Been a fan of JJ Cale since I was a kid because my mom would play his records all the time. So many of his songs have been covered by more famous artists. I have to say, though, I went to seem him perform as an adult and it was one of the worst concerts I've ever seen. The music was fine but he had no stage presence whatsoever and did nothing to engage the audience. So disappointing. Still LOVE his music though!
A beautiful cover of the J. J. Cale song. Fun, fast and exciting... with lots of bluesy rock and boogie-woogie piano! Love this song! Can't stay in my chair for this one.
The writer of this song J.J. Cale, an Oklahoma country boy, became a rich man off songs like "Call Me The Breeze" and Eric Clapton's versions of "Cocaine" and "After Midnight". And yet I once read that he still preferred to live in a trailer or mobile home beside the road somewhere. Now that's a humble guy! "Un-burdened by the world" indeed!
Yes! There is an interview with Eric Clapton where Eric states that he tried to talk JJ into going on the road in concert. JJ said he'd rather stay home and let Eric do all the work.
Damn, this group is incredible. There are no “weak spots” in this band. Everything from the writing, the guitar work, you name it. There will never be another band like it.
And to think, years prior to this song, Lynyrd Skynyrd was on a lunch break in the studio when one of their roadies, who was classically trained, sat down at the piano and started playing his version of Free Bird. The band walked back in and heard the roadie playing. Depending on who tells the story, it was several weeks or months later that the roadie became an official band member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. And just listening to him play the piano on this song, not to mention watching Jamel play "air piano" tells you all that you need to know. Great song, great reaction!
It's funny for me to see anyone in the U.S.A. to realize this song exists. I live in Hungary, Europe, in the early '80-s we played it with my school-band. One of my favorite songs as well as the original version from J.J. Cale - the Master of several famous gitar players.
This is what we listened to in high school in the 1970s. Back in the day, we called it "Rockabilly". You can call it boogie woogie, or whatever. It appeals to everyone who listens to it.
They did another cover of Jimmy Rogers “T for Texas “ that is absolutely amazing! If you could get around to it, I don’t think you would regret it. Great reaction!
I've been waiting for this one. Had to put the headphones on. This is Skynyrd at their best. The live version is killer as well. I thought Jamel was going to break the chair he was bouncing around so much.

Now THAT'S a Jam!! I've danced to that so many times with my grandkids. Even my most shy little one would dance to this one. If something on your body doesn't move to this, someone better call the coroner.
Easily my favorite song of all time! I've been listening to this for 40 years and I still react to it the same way you just did. Warning.. this song can and will cause speeding tickets!
I recommended this just a week ago or so and was thrilled to see it come up. One of my favourite Skynyrd songs !! One more great Skynyrd tune though with a great boogie rhythm ... "I KNOW A LITTLE"
L.S. was one of us biker ladies and guys more fave bands to party to. Gathered on a run, bikes everywhere, speakers blasting this song. Haze in the air. Don't get any better than that for a memory! A heartfelt thank you from this old biker chick, Jamel!
Skynyrd is my favourite band of all time. Love this track. It's actually a cover. The original is by J.J. Cale. More mellow but still good. Skynyrd improved it
I just love the joy that you show when you listen to the music that I listened to when I was much younger. This song just makes a person get up and move,you just can’t help it. You have just made my day thank you so much. You are definitely doing your part to make this a better world.
I had a friend in Southern California back when I was a rambling man. I'd see him 2-3 times a year. Spend an evening drinking, smoking and jamming, then hit the road again. At some point he dedicated this song to me and started calling me "Breeze". It's the only nickname I ever really liked.
30 years behind the wheel, over 4 million miles. I started driving trucks in 1988. This song takes me back.... thanks amigo. If the wheels aren't turnin', you ain't earnin' ! My c.b. handle? Cold Shoulder
This is one of my all time favorite classic rock song!! It really just makes one want to move! Great lyrics and beautiful composition. Every instrument is on point! Thank you for this one! I haven't heard this song in awhile! This was a great way to wake up this morning! 😁💚
This is my favorite Skynard song and I enjoyed so much watching your reaction. The expression on your face and the inability to sit still just matches up with song perfectly. Keep playing those great tunes.
Man. So much energy in this and Flirtin' With Disaster by Molly Hatchet. So similar by making you just not be able to sit still. Like most Creedence tunes, you simply hafta move.
@@sigepcane Oh man, many a summer night in 1979 was spent cruising around our small hometown playing Skynyrd, Nugent and Molly Hatchett. RIP Danny Joe Brown. "I'm going back to Gator Country where the wine and women are free! "
Hands down my favorite Skynyrd song.....period. There were soooo many great Southern Rock bands, but this song epitomized the Southern Rock experience. WELL PLAYED!!!!
Musician Credits: Guitar solo - Gary Rossington Piano solo - Billy Powell Background vocal - Leon Wilkeson Guitar fills - Ed King Horns - Bobby Keys, Trevor Lawrence, Steve Madiao Horn arrangement - Al Kooper (Al was their producer) Hand clapping - Wiker, Toby, Cockroach, Moochie, Punnel, Wolfman, Kooder, Mr. Feedback and Goochie. And of course, lead vocal, - Ronnie Van Zant! Written by J.J. Cale (song length - 5:23)
@@BST-lm4po The credits I listed were only the parts that were _specifically_ credited on the album for that particular song. The album separately lists each member of the band and the instruments they each played throughout the album. But the credits for each song are only pointing out any special parts that a player performed. For example, it points out that Gary specifically did the lead for this song (as opposed to Allen) and that Ed did all the guitar fills. So, it's just understood that Allen was playing rhythm and Bob was on drums. Regular members of the band normally played their respective instruments on all the tracks except where noted, as was the case with Bob Burns. He played drums throughout the album except on "I Need You" which actually had Mike Porter on drums (who would later become the drummer of Atlanta Rhythm Section). Same with Leon Wilkerson. He played bass on all tracks except "I Need You" and "Don't Ask Me No Questions" in which Ed King played the bass. So, I wasn't "leaving them out". They just weren't mentioned in the credits for that song. Because as I said, its understood they were in there playing their instruments as they were on the majority of the rest of the tracks. And I only gave a extra mention of Ronnie Van Zant at the end of the credit list (even though he also wasn't listed) because, as important as ALL the members were, the man was the _force_ behind the band! 🙂👍💯
Just a note: Back in Dec 2009, Ed King was posting in his forum talking about the Second Helping album and he listed who some of the hand clappers actually were. Here's his quote: "The hand clappers were the band members (minus me, I wasn't there that day). Wicker was Ronnie...one of his nicknames - got it from a character in a gay movie (from what I understand). A joke, naturally. Punnel is Billy Powell, I think Allen Collins was Toby. Kooper was Kooder, Mr. Feedback was our soundman Kevin Elson and Gooshie is roadie Joe Barnes. Nixon was a roadie for The Eagles who challenged us at the pinball machine many times. (The Eagles were recording ON THE BORDER in the next room.)"
Skynyrd were one of the top 10 live concerts of-all-time. If you were lucky enough to catch them live back in the day, you know what I'm talkin' about. I was in a band that covered 3 or 4 Skynyrd tunes, and I loved playing their stuff. And the audience loved hearing Skynyrd covers. But nothing compared to seeing them live in their prime. They gave it their all both times I saw them live. Left everything they had on that stage. Damned shame that fateful plane crash took half the band away from us. I remember just being in shock when I saw it on the news. Just tragic. But we have their music. Great music.
I remember I bought this LP ("Second Helping") back at the end of 1977 right after the crash, and I spent literally 'hours on end' jamming to this song with the headphones on! I couldn't get enough!
What was left of the band after the tragedy, formed Rossington Collins band. They pickup up Dale Krantz for vocals, she puts me in the mind of Janice. One Good Man would be a great start.
Thank you for the react/review of this song. I once had a friend named Breeze when I lived in New Orleans. When we met he introduced himself as Breeze. I replied “like the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, right?”. He seemed puzzled that I made that particular reference that ended up being right on point. We became friends and pretty much saw most of what Nola had to offer. The day he was leaving New Orleans I asked for his real name to add him on fb. His name was Jackson Bush. After Nola and corresponding through social media seemed to be going good. He was back in Texas with his wife and they were expecting their first child. About a week before his daughter was born, he was hospitalized with heart problems. His wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Jackson didn’t make it. He passed of heart failure. He never got to meet his daughter. To see someone cold react to the song so wholeheartedly it brought a tear to my eye. Remembering the good times had with Breeze and discovering Nola just like a video game map. R.I.P. Breeze, can’t hear this song without it kicking up memories.
Keep em comin.. when I was "away".. bunch of guys formed a band called themselves "skinny lynyrd".. damn good cover band.. was my best day there.. completely forgot I was in prison🤫
This and I know a little are my 2 favorite LS songs. I knew you were going to love this one, its just so good. My home rock station played this b/c they were one of the first album rock stations and always played deeper cuts and not just the hits.
Funny story! I was scrolling Facebook and a post said, what song is the soundtrack to your life and I thought to myself, it used to be the breeze until I got married and had children and right then it popped up, jamel aka Jamal- the breeze 🤣
How do you know that Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the greatest bands to ever exist? Every song they ever covered blows away any other version ever performed, and no one who has covered one of their originals has been able to do it better.
Oh I love this one!! Lynyrd Skynyrd is such a great band and I'm so glad they were able to survive the tragedy and continue the music!!! Love the dancing Jamel!! Great way to start my day!! 😎

100% correct you are, non stop start to finish
Jamel definitely gonna be playin this in his ride soon cruisin down the 10.....
and you can tell when he is really loving the music 😀
It's called Rockabilly
June 6,1974. New Orleans. I was there. My first concert. I was 16 yrs. old. Lynyrd Skynyrd opened for Joe Walsh. Tickets was 6.00.
I ain't hiding from nobody and nobody's hiding from me
Oh that's the way it's supposed to be
Wisdom in their words.
Billy Powell on the piano is really amazing! Hard to believe he started out as a roadie and when they were packing up after a show, he saw a piano and went over and said this is what I would add to Free Bird and played. His roadie days were over!
And history was made. Can't go wrong.
Billy was actually a classically-trained pianist and had a lot of trouble adjusting to playing honky tonk. Ed King told him "hey, Billy,, you're in a southern rock band. Embrace it." He most certainly did
That piano player in Skynyrd was the ultimate!!!!
The late, GREAT Billy Powell.
Yes!!
This piano solo is almost all done with the right hand.
No one better ❤❤
@@GusMitchell-mh7pl pure genius
Southern Rock and Country Music are for the most Germans not the thing. But i, as a German, must say: Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet kick ass. 😎🎸🇩🇪🤘
Don’t forget about The Outlaws, The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker band, and Blackfoot
Take a listen to Blackberry Smoke. You will not be disappointed...
I'm a huge fan of hard bues, southern bells and country music. From UA
I have a hard time putting The Allman Brothers in this category as they were more blues rock than anything else.
Check out 38 Special, similar sound to those bands.

Was having a really bad day until I saw your energy and positivity. Thank you for the little bit of happiness.
The piano solo in this is insane.
If you think that one is insane, check out literally any live version of this song.
This song is the perfect example of a Skynyrd tune. It has everything in one jam. Lyrics, 3guitars, the solos. This song is amazing
I grew up in a family of musicians. The Breeze was my nick name. When I walked in the bars I was greeted with that song.
This song always makes you want to dance You should do “Don’t ask me no questions”
ABSOFREEKINGLUTELY
I wont tell you no lies...
Y’all can have the Freebird solo, I’m taking this one every time.
This tune brings a smile, even in Atlanta traffic...
Only good thing about Covid has been the traffic. I’m almost sad it’s picking back up again. Georgia 400 has almost been a pleasure

I’m sure there were plenty of hotels out there that would beg to differ. They were pretty bad boys the first handful of years.
You cannot feel blue listening to this. OMG…what a happy song. Call me ..Me Breeze….❤️
My uncle gave me my love of Skynyrd...this and "That Smell" have been my favorites since the beginning.

30 years behind the wheel, over 4 million miles. I started driving trucks in 1988. This song takes me back.... thanks amigo. If the wheels aren't turnin', you ain't earnin' ! My c.b. handle? Cold Shoulder
Billy Powell was as great of a piano player as he was underrated. That piano riff is as good as it can possibly get.
May as well and react to some Jonny Lang’s Lie to Me ASAP for ya brother from another mother. Preciate ya and keep great music alive
My absolute favorite Skynyrd song. You can’t help but drive well over the speed limit when it’s playing.
This is one of my all time favorite classic rock song!! It really just makes one want to move! Great lyrics and beautiful composition. Every instrument is on point! Thank you for this one! I haven't heard this song in awhile! This was a great way to wake up this morning! 😁💚
This is my favorite Skynard song and I enjoyed so much watching your reaction. The expression on your face and the inability to sit still just matches up with song perfectly. Keep playing those great tunes.
Man. So much energy in this and Flirtin' With Disaster by Molly Hatchet. So similar by making you just not be able to sit still. Like most Creedence tunes, you simply hafta move.
YEEESS YEEESS MOLLY HATCHET, Flirting with disaster, Whiskey man, It's all over now, KILLER TUNES!
@@pauberrymon5892 Don't forget Gator Country!
"Boogie No More"
Dreams I'll never see is a good one as well
@@sigepcane Oh man, many a summer night in 1979 was spent cruising around our small hometown playing Skynyrd, Nugent and Molly Hatchett. RIP Danny Joe Brown. "I'm going back to Gator Country where the wine and women are free! "
Hands down my favorite Skynyrd song.....period. There were soooo many great Southern Rock bands, but this song epitomized the Southern Rock experience. WELL PLAYED!!!!

You left out guitarist Allen Collins and drummer Bob Burns!!
@@BST-lm4po The credits I listed were only the parts that were _specifically_ credited on the album for that particular song. The album separately lists each member of the band and the instruments they each played throughout the album. But the credits for each song are only pointing out any special parts that a player performed. For example, it points out that Gary specifically did the lead for this song (as opposed to Allen) and that Ed did all the guitar fills. So, it's just understood that Allen was playing rhythm and Bob was on drums. Regular members of the band normally played their respective instruments on all the tracks except where noted, as was the case with Bob Burns. He played drums throughout the album except on "I Need You" which actually had Mike Porter on drums (who would later become the drummer of Atlanta Rhythm Section). Same with Leon Wilkerson. He played bass on all tracks except "I Need You" and "Don't Ask Me No Questions" in which Ed King played the bass. So, I wasn't "leaving them out". They just weren't mentioned in the credits for that song. Because as I said, its understood they were in there playing their instruments as they were on the majority of the rest of the tracks. And I only gave a extra mention of Ronnie Van Zant at the end of the credit list (even though he also wasn't listed) because, as important as ALL the members were, the man was the _force_ behind the band! 🙂👍💯
Just a note: Back in Dec 2009, Ed King was posting in his forum talking about the Second Helping album and he listed who some of the hand clappers actually were. Here's his quote:
"The hand clappers were the band members (minus me, I wasn't there that day).
Wicker was Ronnie...one of his nicknames - got it from a character in a gay movie (from what I understand). A joke, naturally. Punnel is Billy Powell, I think Allen Collins was Toby. Kooper was Kooder, Mr. Feedback was our soundman Kevin Elson and Gooshie is roadie Joe Barnes. Nixon was a roadie for The Eagles who challenged us at the pinball machine many times. (The Eagles were recording ON THE BORDER in the next room.)"
Jamel, you lift my spirits every day! God bless you!
Still gotta do Saturday Night Special and Ballad of Curtis Loew(sp?)
Skynyrd were one of the top 10 live concerts of-all-time. If you were lucky enough to catch them live back in the day, you know what I'm talkin' about. I was in a band that covered 3 or 4 Skynyrd tunes, and I loved playing their stuff. And the audience loved hearing Skynyrd covers. But nothing compared to seeing them live in their prime. They gave it their all both times I saw them live. Left everything they had on that stage.
Damned shame that fateful plane crash took half the band away from us. I remember just being in shock when I saw it on the news. Just tragic. But we have their music. Great music.
I remember I bought this LP ("Second Helping") back at the end of 1977 right after the crash, and I spent literally 'hours on end' jamming to this song with the headphones on! I couldn't get enough!
Love when you Dance Jamel!
What was left of the band after the tragedy, formed Rossington Collins band. They pickup up Dale Krantz for vocals, she puts me in the mind of Janice. One Good Man would be a great start.
I like “Fancy Ideas”, but yea Dale did bring a rough and sultry sound for sure.
Gotta do "Don't Misunderstand Me" by Rossington Collins.
Thank you for the react/review of this song. I once had a friend named Breeze when I lived in New Orleans. When we met he introduced himself as Breeze. I replied “like the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, right?”. He seemed puzzled that I made that particular reference that ended up being right on point. We became friends and pretty much saw most of what Nola had to offer. The day he was leaving New Orleans I asked for his real name to add him on fb. His name was Jackson Bush. After Nola and corresponding through social media seemed to be going good. He was back in Texas with his wife and they were expecting their first child. About a week before his daughter was born, he was hospitalized with heart problems. His wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Jackson didn’t make it. He passed of heart failure. He never got to meet his daughter.
To see someone cold react to the song so wholeheartedly it brought a tear to my eye. Remembering the good times had with Breeze and discovering Nola just like a video game map. R.I.P. Breeze, can’t hear this song without it kicking up memories.
You know Jamel loves a song when he is having so much that he never pauses the song !..I love any song that makes you go “ Woo hoooooooooo,,,,!!!”
My favorite rock band!! Saw them in Houston, Texas in the early 70's. Some of the best instrumentalists ever to play!!!!
Keep em comin.. when I was "away".. bunch of guys formed a band called themselves "skinny lynyrd".. damn good cover band.. was my best day there.. completely forgot I was in prison🤫
This and I know a little are my 2 favorite LS songs. I knew you were going to love this one, its just so good. My home rock station played this b/c they were one of the first album rock stations and always played deeper cuts and not just the hits.
Funny story! I was scrolling Facebook and a post said, what song is the soundtrack to your life and I thought to myself, it used to be the breeze until I got married and had children and right then it popped up, jamel aka Jamal- the breeze 🤣
😂🤣You nailed it girl!! I saw this pop up in my notifications and thought.... Perfect song and the perfect reaction!!!👌😁
I can not say how much I appreciate your reactions, and bringing so MANY of my younger day memories! Thanks!
keeping in line with southern rock, give TRAIN TRAIN from blackfoot. This song has the greatest harmonica playing in any song ever!
Well, it's good harmonica, but best ever? Give this little ditty from Little Walter, from the 50's a listen.th-cam.com/video/E6ulYZzo9IU/w-d-xo.html
Jamal loved this southern rock. They were the best. I went to several of there concerts. I recall one time at the Miami Baseball stadium in 75 or 76.
Southern rock. "Uneasy Rider" from Charlie Daniels' hippy days. It's hilarious story telling at its best.
"And I ain't even got a garage, you can call and ask my wife!" 😆
Great song!
"he may look dumb,... but that's just a disguise!" 😅
Good jam right there yes indeed,, I gotta keep moving on,,, your reaction was amazing ✌️❤️💯
How do you know that Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the greatest bands to ever exist? Every song they ever covered blows away any other version ever performed, and no one who has covered one of their originals has been able to do it better.
Skynyrd's live "Crossroads" > Cream's version. Fight me.
@@joeday4293 I will not sir. Made this exact same comment on another reviewer's channel.
@joe day I totally agree! Skynyrd's is way better.
J J Cale was who Clapton called his “man in a cave”. Take a listen to some of his recordings-King of smooth simplicity. The “Tulsa sound”
Oh I love this one!! Lynyrd Skynyrd is such a great band and I'm so glad they were able to survive the tragedy and continue the music!!! Love the dancing Jamel!! Great way to start my day!! 😎
