Rvzantoo very well said I totally agree with you this band was so underrated it makes me sick Gary Harwood was awesome at playing guitar and vocals its to bad we never heard from him after the band broke up so sad
That music (and movies too!) Were absorbed into two massive multinational corporate pillars...this stopped label investment in young talent...and, instead, crated the assembly line of manufacture autotuned click edited "product". Sad.
One of best acoustic pieces that i go back to again and again . . . I do not tired of it! It should be in the collection of the later Skynyrd's acoustic cd endangered species!
Saw them twice in Roanoke Virginia at the old Bergland Center where many bands in late 1970’s began tours. Was Avery high energy show and sound was super. But despite Gary and Allan being so great something was missing. Don’t get me wrong I’m enjoying these two shows and stilll have the albums but the crowd wanted Skynyrd and would never get them. But live Gary Rossington brought it every night RIP
@@georgegaylord I know what you mean, "something was missing". IMO, what was missing was Ed King, Artemis Powell and Johnny Van Zant. It was at this point in time where these 3 guys were missing in the lineup. Them, with Billy, Leon, Garry and Allen could have come the closest to recapturing the real Lynyrd Skynyrd line up after the plane crash that could ever have happened. But they didn't and I think it's sad it didn't happen.
@@igoski1582 You mean Artimus Pyle. He was supposed to join Rossington-Collins but injured his leg in a motorcycle accident and Derek Hess was chosen to be the drummer instead.
@@googleusergp Yes. Sorry, I got Artemis last name wrong. I never knew this was the reason why Artemis was not in The Rossington Collins Band. But after his leg healed, he should have been in, and Derek out. Also, back to the closest to reforming Lynyrd Skyanrd, they should have gotten Ed King and recruited Jonny. That would have been the band right there.
Didn't know about Barry Harwood until about 1980 when Gary and Allen walked out onto the stage at the old Milwaukee Auditorium with RCB. But to everyone's surprise, guess who got the opening guitar solo in "Prime Time?" Dial up Barry on TH-cam doing, "Come the Mornin."
@@barryleeharwood3523 love your sound and style Mr Barry. Love your slide playing. Wish you and Ronnie would have wrote that country album. Bet you still got some old songs you wrote way back when.
@@coryman4245 thanks so much Cory, I never take it for granted. When I finished my Dobro solo on Street Survivors Ronnie and I went out for drinks at Charlie Magruders in Atlanta. Ronnie told me he wanted to do a Country album and asked me to join him, playing and writing. Of course I said yes but, the plane crash said "no". Thanks again sir!
@@barryleeharwood3523 ain't much for bugging nobody but I know something scared you, didn't know what it was until I got older, GOD!!! I'D LOVE TO SHAKE YOUR MANDOLIN & PLAY YOUR HAND..
Amazing song by Barry Lee Harwood, the best song Skynyrd never made. Great vocals, great guitarplaying, great songwriting! Barry played on 3 Skynyrd LP's and was supposed to become their guitarist when Ed King left, but couldnt do it cos he was already committed touring Europe w Melanie. Ronnie also wanted to record a country album w Barry.
Had Ronnie VanZandt gotten the opportunity to do crossover to country man oh man would it have been excellent, if you listen to ' Four Walls of Raiford' it's pretty bluesy and really Allen had an excellent singing voice, this Barry Lee too, & of course, Steve Gaines had a fabulous voice, all of them I bet could sing, did anyone every hear Gary Rossington sing? I bet he could have belted it out too, rest in peace all of you stars, you shall never be forgotten.
As a close friend of Barrylee, he is an incredible song writer..he has songs that folks have never heard that are as good as all this and more. hopefully 1 day soon
Barry is Sooo Talented Great writer Great musician He is my first cousin i have had the pleasure of hearing alot of his material and its all good .To this day he is still pickin and writing.This is a great song he wrote and sang about an incident that happened on the road with RCB
This song touches my Soul everytime I hear it....It would be a loved and listened to all over the world if it gets played....In Jesus's name I pray that this happens...Goose Bumps for all the Nations:)
Man, Memories are a crazy thing as you get older..........I remember buying this album and listening to it over and over......and this happened to be my favorite tune.........I still remember getting into arguments with my buddies who is hotter..Dale Krantz or Stevie Nicks.....DALE KRANTZ.
I agree. Dale was much hotter than Stevie and had her heart in the music too. Stevie turned one of the most progressive blues bands in the world into a pop group.
@@mpmphilpott Actually I think that we're both half right - " I may wound ya" seems right to me. Wounded would be logical following the "I ain't the killin' kind" line. Killin' and woo are direct opposites.
However, that's exactly why it's woo, because they ARE exact opposites. Thats why he's not the " killin kind". Whatever he says, I think we can agree that it's an incredibly good tune! Right friend?
@@mpmphilpott yes we can agree 100% about it being a great track. Barry Lee Harwood is a monster musician and I always considered him to be RCB's "secret weapon".
I agree Paul! The intro is stellar.. I so wish we could have watched Steve Gaines progress.. I'm not taking away from Barry, cause this is awesome, but the songs that Steve did in his short period were phenominal.. Miss life back in these days..
You knew that God had his hands 👐 on our Band Rossington Collins then to reform the tribute Lynyrd Skynyrd America's Rock Band what a RUN God Bless you Johnny Van Zant l think Ronnie would be happy Rickey Medlock your amazing 🎸 hero ever
Back in the days when music meant something. Not only did you need talent to make music like this, you needed heart. It's a crime those days are gone.

@@shellyweiers4247 He left because of drugs. He saw the devil one night and left
don't be such a downer...... there is great music everyday in this country :). u just gotta look around, sir :)
Not gone. Hard to find? Look up Blackberry Smoke. Good music every CD & better live.
This song is a fabulous heart felt song!! RIP to all those you have passed! Long live Southern Rock!!
Great band
Barry Harwood , A Friend Of Mine ! Thank -Yop For Ur Time ! ( ( Now Back To SKYNYRD)
RIP Gary Rossington
I miss all of the great music that I was raised on. This one is special given the blending of acoustic guitars and mandolin
Check out Blackberry Smoke. It fills the void left behind with the loss of all but Artimus.
Hidden gem!
As near perfect as Southern influenced music gets ❤
Always loved this song!!...Barry Harwood rocks!!!
Pleasure to know such a dedicated, talented guy
Rossington-Collins best ever!!
One of best acoustic pieces that i go back to again and again . . . I do not tired of it! It should be in the collection of the later Skynyrd's acoustic cd endangered species!
Gary and Allen had a lot of folk music and country in them, as well as blues. They managed to blend it all together so well. They are very missed.
Love that song and album and band!
Shame isn't more vids of live R/C band performances on internet.
Would love to watch a live set.
I went to one of their shows. They were good.

I have to ahree. After 30 years of being a musician, this song touches my heart like none other...
just a great tune…RIP A.C.

Yes indeed, Barry Lee Harwood is the real deal

@@ColdSmokes he does

Mrs. Dale Kranzt undenied greatest🙈🙉🙊
Dale was way hotter agree a 100 pct...:D
nice song man....real easy free vibes,,,,that dobro is sick
"I might woo ya.". Great line of verse.
I'm singing this song loudly, in anticipation of my divorce being finalized. Love this song !
Sadly, nobody has shame anymore.
@@del7i540 You were never in an abusive relationship I take it. That's great. Wish I hadn't been in one.
Freedom is priceless... I should've stayed that way 😂
I have looked the song tashauna so long
LOVE THESE GUY'S
Randal helped launch and carry the RC Band! Top notch player and writer gave that band punch 🤛🏽
Randall wasn’t in Rossington Collins, he was in Allen Collins Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd
@@maryfillingim9465 I’m free today
@@maryfillingim9465 I’m free today
Grandissimi
Allen picked him to take his place in LS when he couldn't play anymore...this guy is great..
Not Barry Lee your thinking Randall Hall Allen picked to take his place in Skynyrd.
Listened to this song a hundred times if I ever did once. Hell, and that's a conservative estimate. I do love this song ...
Berry is very talented!
@@alvingriggs6932 so very
For sure a great song,,,shoulda been a hit...still. Always was with me, and better than ALL of Skynyrd,,,,that's my story....I'm stickin' to it.
Great song
The best of the best in music ever
"I ain't the killin' kind - I might wound ya"

Yeah it's " I may woo ya!

My favorite RCB song.
Tough call but I can go w/ it for sure.

Barry Lee and Steve would've been great together, the songs they could've written!
💙
🙏😇❤️
bad assss
Ronny would be proud.
Barry has a leh nerd heart!
And a skyn yrd soul. ;-)
Wow...takes me back!..This sucky music today will never hold a light to the talent this group had!!!
yep
did he ever make an album
Te LYNYRD SKYNYD Live in Heaven tour 2024
"Great Song!" Johnny & Lynyrd Skynyrd should redo this song?
Almost a freebird
Play me some dobro barry
You knew that God had his hands 👐 on our Band Rossington Collins then to reform the tribute Lynyrd Skynyrd America's Rock Band what a RUN God Bless you Johnny Van Zant l think Ronnie would be happy Rickey Medlock your amazing 🎸 hero ever
Should have carried on as RCB. Skynyrd died when the plane went down. JVZ ain’t his brother - not even remotely close.
They couldn't carry on as Rossington Collins Band because of tensions between Gary, Dale and Allen. That's why we got the Allen Collins Band.
What year is this song?
D Hess here..on our second album..1981..This is the Way RCB
Love it
Love it
