    I remember being 16 years old, sitting downstairs listening to music with my friends, when my mom came down and told us a plane crashed with some members of Lynyrd Skynyrd aboard. The mood got solemn, with everyone in shock. I remember it like it was yesterday. What a huge loss....☹️

    My favorite part about this song is throughout the singer is telling a story to us saying "he was the finest picker", but the very last lyric switches to "Curtis Loew YOU'RE the finest picker that ever played the blues". The singer this whole time was talking to us telling us a story, but the last lyric the singer was speaking to his decreased friend directly and giving credence to the fact that he was the best blues picker who ever lived, ( and that's coming from a highly multi-talented man who has already made it big).

    Trivia: one legend about Skynyrd was that Ronnie Van Zandt felt lost playing the big stadium concert. He said he missed seeing the people’s faces and wanted to play a small club again so he could connect with the people. So in Seattle his manager booked them incognito into a night club as “The Curtis Loewe Band”
    They said they didn’t fool anybody and the line to get in the door was over two miles long and cops were all upset and it didn’t work out!

      If memory serves, it was a little joint just north of the city limits called "The Aquarius" - The little reader board outside just had the band listed as "The Curtis Loew Band" with no further elaboration. I once saw a band at The Aquarius called "Soft White Underbelly" that looked and sounded a lot like Blue Oyster Cult.

    Also..."they chucked him in the clay." Even the way that they wrote that line really reflects how little that society thought of Curtis. Far too often, we let people slip through the cracks who have great things to offer because we pre-judge them. We're all guilty of it, unfortunately.

      I always heard one of the inspirations for this song was Shorty Medlocke. Shorty was Native American, he was an american blues, county and bluegrass musician and banjo player. He was also the grandfather of Rickey Medlocke who also grew up in Jacksonville an was friends with rvz and played in Skynyrd In 1971&1972. I guess back in the day they would all go an listen, learn and play together in shorty's garage. Shorty Medlocke can be heard playing the harmonica in the Blackfoot song Train Train which he also wrote

    Yes, the P word. PICKER
    A Dobro that Curtis Played is a Resonator Guitar. The top of the guitar has a metal disc attached to it by springs. It gives THE most classic Blues sound of any guitar, especially when it’s used to play slide. He said Curtis played it in his lap, which means he probably was playing slide on that old Dobro.

    The Curtis Loews of the world inspired rock and country music.
    This song is a tribute to those who inspired Lynyrd Skynyrd and so many other artists before them and after them.
    The Curtis Loews of the world truly are rare these days.

    While you’re in a southern fried music mood, you should check out Copperhead Road by Steve Earle. I think you’ll like his “brand new plan” 😉

    Edit: Chucked him in the clay. If you come to Alabama and dig down 2 inches you’re going to hit red clay. My family has a saying… At the end of the day we all lay in the clay...OK, my family might be weird…
