This is a rabbit hole of Southern rock ... their backstop is one of nothing but obstacles.... excellent music ...the ballot of Curtis Lowe is a MUST ...
Southern Rock! You have Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers, .38 Special, Georgia Satellites, Kentucky Headhunters, ZZ Top, and the Marshall Tucker Band to name a few suggestions.
Rob, if you don't let her listen/react to 'Whipping Post' by the Allman Brothers, you're honestly cheating her out of hearing one of the greatest songs ever written, Southern rock or otherwise. Also, with Lynyrd Skynyrd, you really have to listen to 'Saturday Night Special', 'That Smell', and 'Call Me the Breeze'. All big time bangers.
@@theodoreritola7641 Even if you didnt have someone with a cowbell in the studio with you there would STILL be cowbell on the track, the '70s were wild.
“Call me the Breeze” (JJ Cale) is one of their bigger hits and is upbeat with a great lead guitar and piano solo! Not to mention all their other songs requested. “You Got that Right” is another great one!
Southern Rock can be a deep & varied experience. Besides Lynyrd Skynyrd there is The Allman Brothers Band (arguably the originators of Southern Rock), The Marshall Tucker Band, The Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie, Grinderswitch, The Outlaws, Black Oak Arkansas, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, and Atlanta Rhythm Section, to name just a few. Other groups of a similar vein such as ZZ Top, Little Feat , Jimmy Buffet, and Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
A Parrothead (Jimmy Buffet fan) here, he's awesome though what he describes as Gulf & Western has a bit more Carribean influence than most Southern Rock artists. Bit mellower, more comical & philosophical, his backup band, the Coral Reefers, tend to have a large repitoir
Southern rock legends. It's the triple guitar that gives them most of their distinctive sound. That Smell, Gimme Back My Bullets, and of course Sweet Home Alabama for more.
This song was based on a REAL experience of the lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt. He came tearing out the back door of a popular bar in Jacksonville, FL because he was dancing with a woman (her name really was Linda Lou) and had no idea she was married. Her husband came in and it wasn't a pretty scene. And yes.....the husband DID pull out a gun and point it at Ronnie.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the best Southern Rock bands ever to grace this earth. And yes, Sweet Home Alabama is one of their all time classics. Ed King (rest his soul) came up with the iconic opening guitar work for that song off the cuff when he walked into their recording studio (nicknamed “Hell House” because it had no a/c) and heard Gary Rossington playing a few cords. He picked up his Fender Stratocaster guitar and just played what came naturally, and the rest is history! Another classic southern rock band you need to check out, if you haven’t already is the Allman Brothers Band. They have so many classics, but I would suggest 2 songs for starters - Blue Sky (which reminds me of driving through the country on a warm sunny day) and the other being Midnight Rider.
Plenty more Skynyrd: "Call Me the Breeze"--with killer guitar AND piano solos--"Sweet Home Alabama" "That Smell" "Saturday Night Special" "What's Your Name"
You guys have gotta treat yourselves to They Call Me The Breeze. It's got everything y'all love. Killer guitar licks, keyboards, and yes, Amber gets her horns !!! Give it a shot.
Free Bird is probably the band's most hyped song, but I've always thought Breeze was the real gem in their catalog. Simply stunning guitar and keyboard solos!!
Georgia Satellites is another southern rock band from the 80's, "Keep your hands to yourself" & "Battleship Chains" are two of their most well know songs.
If you want more Skynyrd you have to do "The Ballad of Curtis Loew"! This was a great reaction video, then again they all are. It's cool how y'all are just so likable.
04:41 ahhhhhh finally reactors who actually get the humor in this song. Every other reactor I have seen is either not paying attention or simply don't get it. Props to both of you. The last line in the third verse especially, always makes me smile. "And you could hear me screaming a mile away As I was headed out through the door" The mental image of Ronnie flying out the door while screaming is hilarious.
My personal favorite of the fun songs even though he’s looking down the barrel of a 44 magnums “ the most powerful handgun” as Dirty Harry used to say 😝 😆.
If I remember the story correctly as told by Ronnie, it was Ronnie and Gary Rossington coming out of a bar in Atlanta together and saw a pretty girl with a small, not so pretty fella. Gary 'wolf-whistled'. Fella turned around and told Gary to do it again. Gary obliged. Fella pulled a gun, pointing it at the two of them, shaking so badly he probably wouldn't have hit them, girl yelled/screamed, fella looked at girl and yelled at her, Ronnie and Gary both decided at that moment it would be a good eye-deer to haul ass. Ronnie said he learned a lesson that early morning, that no matter how puny the other fella may be, that gun he pulled was awful dayummed big lookin down the barrel.
I love when Amber's really into it, and she's like, "don't talk to me right now!" Del McCoury Band, Alison Krause and Union Station, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ricky Scaggs, Krueger Brothers, Emmylou Harris (!), start with those. I'd google their top three hits.
I'd like to add one more artist/band to that excellent list...that band would be Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Specifically Hot Burrito #1 and, %he Dark End of the Street. Keep up the good work.
I live in Jacksonville. Can’t go anywhere without a Skynyrd story from locals. Legendary. They’d rehearse in a shack with no air conditioning, but plenty of mosquitoes and snakes.
My great aunt taught English at Lee, she knew Skinner….. she taught a bunch of places though.. Lee, Fletcher, DuPont (when it was still a high school). She taught at JU too. Anyway, she just kinda rolled her eyes about the coach. I don’t think she was too fond of him
back when they were just getting started (long before the name) they used to practice in my grandmothers garage in Oceanway, right next to the school on Florida Ave. my uncle Herb played Guitar as well and knew them from school which is how the use of the garage was secured. sadly the garage and the house are long since gone, but one of my uncles has an 8MM tape of them playing in that garage when they were teens. no sound sadly.
When you ask for bluegrass, Alison Krauss is one of the best. Even though she plays bluegrass primarily, she also has paired up with Robert Plant for some interesting music. They won Grammys for the raising Sand album.
Billy Strings has to be explored in the Bluegrass genre. Depending on the song, the band ranges from traditional bluegrass, to jam band, to heavy metal bluegrass. Billy is awesome as are the rest of his band mates. Maybe start with "Meet Me At The Creek".
Lynyrd Skynyrd never recorded a bad song. One of a few bands that touted the 3 lead guitar format. The story line of the song was from a real life experience with the band at a bar. It went down pretty much like the song says. But after they left, Ronnie started thinking about it and wanted to go back to fight the guy. Instead, they talked him into immediately going to write a song about the event, which turned into, "Gimme Three Steps".
I needed this tonight ❤ I lost my Dad in October, & he's the one who got me hooked on Lynrd Skynrd.....its been a struggle through the holidays...but y'all reminded me of mine & his good times!
If I am not mistaken this was a true story. Yes they are the epitome of Southern Rock! Freebird, Sweet Home Alabama and all of their songs. The Allman Brothers Band Marshall Tucker Band. When their plane crashed it was such a tragedy. CCR is swamp Rock
So many great songs from this legendary band, really can't go wrong. Another great storytelling song is "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe". Musically I think you both will love "Call Me the Breeze". Please don't make us wait 6 months to hear more Skynyrd, such a great band.
After the band's tragic plane crash in 1977, the group "38 Special" had some family connections to Skynyrd, though their music no longer had the Southern Rock influence. Still they had a number of good songs: "Caught Up in You" "Back Where You Belong" "Teacher, Teacher" "Hold on Loosely" "Rockin' Into the Night"
Ronnie Vanzant - Original Front man for Skynyrd Donnie Vanzant Guitarist for 38 Special Johnny Vanzant Younger Brother to the other 2 - Current Front man for Skynyrd
I was in a kinda crappy mood today. Saw this song on the playlist, and remembering Amber's reaction to the three steps part, went to it and sure enough, it lifted me partly out of the bad mood. You kids are so precious.
"What's Your Name", "Sweet Home Alabama", "38 Special", and"They Call Me The Breeze" are also great songs by them. For more Southern Rock check out Allman Brothers, 38 Special, or Molly Hatchet. 😃
@smileytaxi he called the Skynyrd song "38 Special", I believe he was referring to the song Saturday Night Special. But yeah, I love Skynyrd......38 Special, not so much.
Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. They had lots of great songs such as "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird", "Simple Man", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name" etc. After releasing five studio albums & one live album, the band's career was abruptly halted on October 20, 1977, when their chartered airplane crashed, killing Van Zant, Steve Gaines, & backup singer Cassie Gaines & seriously injuring the rest of the band. Lynyrd Skynyrd reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Ronnie's brother Johnny Van Zant as lead vocalist.
I seriously love you guys so much lol you have no idea the amount of joy I get out of watching you both experience the music I grew up on for the first time :) Thank you for bringing happiness into my life!
Lynyrd Skynyrd never disappoints and it's always a joy to see you fall in love with all this new music for you. You are correct Jay, they do sing "Sweet Home Alabama". Some other great ones you need to hear of theirs are "Gimme Back My Bullets", "That Smell" and "Saturday Night Special". They also have done some Christmas music as well. Look up "Christmas Time Again". For some CCR songs: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Down On the Corner". Amber, you have mentioned before that you've seen 'O Brother, Where Art Thou', there are some songs from that fitting the style you are looking for that you could introduce to Jay. "I'll Fly Away" by Alison Krauss and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by Harry McClintock. I don't believe you have reacted to any Southern blues yet. From 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' there is the song "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" by Chris Thomas King, also check out Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" and "Lonesome Road Blues" by Muddy Waters.
From what I understand, this song was based on a true story. The writer wasn't concerned about taking a beating, it was the gun and the threat that "this might be all for you". On another note, your southern Rock journey MUST include Molly Hatchet's "Flirting With Disaster". EDIT: I remember seeing an original LIVE version of this and it wasn't, "Mister, I didn't even kiss her!" That version was, "Mister, I didn't even 'stick' her!" Which, I suppose you could say, was the raunchy version. Bluegrass suggestion for you? "In the jailhouse now" by Tim Blake Nelson and the Soggy Bottom Boys, from the "O Brother, where art thou?" soundtrack.
My absolute favorite southern rock band is .38 Special. "Hold On Loosely", "Back Were You Belong", Caught Up In You", 'If I'd Been The One" & You Keep Runnin' Away" are just a few of their hits.
Skynyrd, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers, Kansas are all in my Southern Rock collection. Great reaction glad y'all enjoyed, hope to hear more on the Southern Rock music
the Eagles, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Pure Prairie League, Blackfoot, Jackson Browne, Kentucky Headhunters, Marshall Tucker Band, the Outlaws, Georgia Satellites, Ram Jam, Steve Earle
This was actually based on a real story where lead singer Ronnie Van Zant had while visiting a biker bar. 38 Special is band you should react to. They have somethng in common, not only are they two southern rock but 38 Special has Ronnie's brother Donnie Van Zant as a member. Molly Hatchet is also another band popular in the 70s and 80s (one of my very favorites). Molly Hatchet also came out of Jacksonville, FL, the same as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Charlie Daniels and Marshall Tucker are also ones you should listen to. Fun Fact: the band Lynyrd Skynyrd name is in homage to a gym teacher they knew in high school who would always complain about the band members and their long hair.
My great aunt taught at Lee High School with him. I remember him doing commercials for selling real estate at the beaches, when I was little. Apparently, the Jug was on Len Turner Rd (I think)… yes I’m from Jax
"I Know A Little". This song is quick and very boogie woogie. You will love this. The piano riff alone is classic. Billy Powell, the piano player, was classically trained, but Van Zandt never knew it until after he joined band. Also, an oldie, but goodie, Call Me the Breeze.
@@stevenstephens3339 thanks. The only bar I knew on the West side was The Beer Witch, and that was because a friend of my parents owned it. I only went there once, and that was to clean and scrape a bunch of chairs, and tables. My step dad believed that my brother and I were slave labor… and would volunteer our help frequently. We didn’t have any say in the matter and didn’t get paid for our time……..
One of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. Here's a handful of some of their best songs, some well known and others more obscure. 1. That Smell 2. Gimme Back My Bullets 3. The Needle And The Spoon 4. Mr. Saturday Night Special 5. Tuesday's Gone 6. The Ballad Of Curtis Loewe
Fun to watch you guys enjoying this song. You nailed what it was all about. Great reaction to Gimme Three Steps. One of my favorite Skynyrd songs. Keep smiling guys.
Watched a documentary on them a few months ago. They were perfectionists. They had a house by a river where they created. By the time they got to the studio the entire song was polished and they were ready to record. Had to be a producer's dream! 😆
Growing up in West Virginia, I was exposed to a lot of Southern Rock and some country that had a rock sound. Try Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchet, Hank Williams, Jr., Waylon Jennings and Charlie Daniels. They’re all incredible!
Love this song!! My mama's name was Linda Lou and us kids always used to tease her with this song. What's Your Name is another good song by them. Great reaction!! 🙂
Love seeing you guys rockin out to Skynyrd! It is a joy to see younger folks enjoying the music I grew up with... the days where the artist had to have real talent to succeed.
So many great Lynyrd Skynyrd hits. This is one of my favorites though. "Call Me the Breeze" is another one. "Simple Man" is fantastic. You can't help but love it. "Saturday Night Special" is good rocking. "Ballad of Curtis Lowe" is good bluesey stuff. "Free Bird" is an absolute Rock Anthem, but you've already done it. "Sweet Home Alabama" was one of their biggest hits. It has anthem status too.
The guitar sounds so great because there are three of them playing in unison! That's right, three guitar players 'harmonizing' together. It was epic to see them live! I saw them in mid-seventies and had a ticket to see them again in late 77., but their plane crashed and tragically ended the band. YES, they wrote Sweet Home Alabama...and they do it the best!
I was introduced to the music of Skynard in 81 at a Christian summer camp. Loved them ever since. Call Me The Breeze was our song when we hit the road!
This in a lot of ways was the music of my growing up. And I always loved the humor in this song. And apparently it's based on somewhat of a true story.
This song was inspired by a real life experience of Ronnie Van Zandt (RIP), at a biker bar in Jacksonville, FL (their hometown). Place is called The Pastime (aka the jug) and is still open for business
Another southern rock band, Molly Hatchet. Songs to listen to are, "Flirtin' With Disaster ", "Dreams I'll Never see", and " Satisfied Man". They have more.
Skynyrd are the best. I'd recommend listening to, The balled of Curtis Lowe. That is an AMAZING Skynyrd song. Great reaction vid & best wishes from us in the UK.
I spent my teenage years in Florida and southern rock was my jam. More Skynyrd? Definitely Sweet Home Alabama. Also Call Me The Breeze and Tuesday's Gone. All excellent.
Lynyrd Skynard was actually their High School PE Coach / Teacher who the band was named after ! The Ballad of Curtis Loew is my favorite Skynard song. Thanks guys you rock =)
If I'm remembering right they did a photo shoot with him before he passed away. They named the band as kind of nose-thumb at him, but he had a good sense of humor about it.
DuuuuuuuuvvvaaaaaaaaLLLLLL Jacksonville Florida Boys, I am too.. Been to the Jug, where I also cut a rug.. went to the same high school as them.. Dad was fishing buddies with the piano player Billy Powell. When they started touring in the 90’s, Billy bought a new boat, and took my Dad and I out on it, I was like 7 and didn’t know the guy was famous, also I met Alan Collins after he was in the wheel Chair at a party my dad took me to.. Lynard Skynard is in my soul.. Fly Freebird Fly
Skynyrd primarily went with 3 lead guitarists, that was their sound. Loved allot of there music, it males you want to move. Sweet Home Alabama was them, and a great song. Was a response to Neil Young's Southern Man, another good song,
Fun fact for you about Sweet Home Alabama and the Neil Young reference. If you listen very carefully to your left speaker, right after Ronnie sings “I heard Mr. Young sing about her” you’ll hear very faintly Al Cooper (who produced the album, and a musician himself) sing the words “Southern Man” in a Neil Young sound alike voice. I heard an interview with Ed King who mentioned this. I couldn’t believe after hearing this song for over 40 years I had never picked up on this!
Hey Jordan and Amber, in case you're wondering about where Lynyrd Skynyrd got their band's name from: They named the band after one of the High School coaches, Leonard Skinner, that a lot of the members had when they were students at Robert E. Lee High School in Gainesville, Florida
Yes, Lynyrd Skynyrd is the pinnacle of Southern Rock and Roll but they have a lot of company. The Allman Brothers are probably second in line (in my mind) followed pretty closely by Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Elvin Bishop, ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot.
Before Kenny Rogers became a solo artist, he was with The First Edition. It was during the Vietnam War and he sang a song RUBY (DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN). It was about a returning wounded vet and his wife. They did some great music, but you never hear much about it on these reaction videos. Take a listen...you guys are my faves!
If you do “ Call Me the Breeze” please do the studio version, live versions sound guys push the guitars and drums forward and pull back the piano plus “live” versions don’t have the horn section. This song and “Ballad of Curtis Loewe” are my two favs. 🤘😎✌️💕
I call this basement rock. My brothers rocked to this in the basement when I was little. Got to see them when I was a teenager, there was a heavy cloud of smoke over us general admissions. 😂
This LITERALLY happened to me a few months before this song came out!!! I swear this happened to me, and yes, “ I was screamin’ as I was headin’ towards the door..” To this day, I remember Jack Armstrong with a sewer pipe with a trigger below it aiming it at me! I am grateful God protects the obliviously stupid!!!.😎👍👍👍
Bluegrass - Rocky Top by Osborne Brothers. Blue Moon of Kentucky by Bill Monroe Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Flatt and Scruggs Wayfaring Stranger by Emmylou Harris Meet me by the Moonlight by Stanley Brothers This is one my favorite songs from them. It’s so funny. 🤣🤣🤣 Also, 100% a true story. For more great songs from them check out: Call me the Breeze, That smell, and Saturday Night Special. Studio versions. They had 4 guitarist I think, amazing band. As a Southern Rock fan, I love CCR, but I have to say they are fake Southerners. They’re not really from the south, but there was a big following at the time, and they adopted the sound. They’re from California, not the Louisiana, or the bayou. Still, a great band.
They should check out the man who created the bluegrass genre before they get into the new stuff. Here's Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. th-cam.com/video/4syA9aNnNa0/w-d-xo.html
Your so right Groovy....Ive listened to every other Bluegrass band I see suggested here....And this band and this song are the top. No offense to any of the other suggestions....but if you don't like this band?.... You don't like music.
Hot dang another New Grass Revival fan. I have every record they ever released a well as most solo project and collab by every member from their conception to what they are doing currently.
@@mikedrake6662 nothing wrong with the new stuff, but the pioneers of the genre like Bill Monroe, The Osborne Brothers, Lester Flatt, and Earl Scruggs deserve their credit. Don't ignore them.
When I was a teenager, you could tell how much I liked an album by how long it sat on my turntable after I bought it. One More From the Road was there for a solid month, I'd guess. It's great for two reasons: 1) It showed what a phenomenally great live act they really were. Just rippin' performances from start to finish 2) It showed what a great collection of songs they'd written by then. Not many bands could pull four sides of solid A+ material from four previous albums. They were the real deal in every way.
OMG you would JUST ADORE the Avett Brothers, from the mountains of my beloved North Carolina ‼️ Especially their old stuff. They are STEEPED in old mountain bluegrass! 💜💙💖
If you love Southern Rock, early The Outlaws albums are a MUST! Highly recommended jams by The Outlaws are: Green Grass and High Tides, Knoxville Girl (the remastered version is best) and Waterhole (all from their first debut album from 1975) are probably the best taste of a mix of southern rock with bluegrass that you will ever get :) Keep on rockin'. Amber and J and thanks for the positive vibrations always! Happy Holidays!!
Haven't seen you guys do Sweet Home Alabama yet or have I just missed it. Must hear Skynard.! Love your channel. I was born in 55 and lived through all this.
If you want Blue Grass, react to Earl Scruggs and Friends playing “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.” It is a fabulous instrumental with many famous musicians contributing to the arrangement. Earl Scruggs reinvented the banjo. He is the Babe Ruth of Bluegrass music.
A bunch of legends in Bluegrass music. Bill Monroe,-(Blue moon of Kentucky). Ricky Skaggs,-(Country Boy). Just to name a few. They should try a little bluegrass.👍😎🤘
“Smell That Smell” is to me absolutely at the top of the Skynerd list. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE That and “ Saturday Night Special” . This is even though this Southern man totally disagrees with its anti-gun verses. Still a great song. And of course the classics “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama”. Saw them in Little Rock back in the 70’s and during Free Bird this tall blond haired dude climbs on stage “nekkid”, excepting his cowboy hat, and stands at the front of the stage with his arms up, outstretched clearly higher than Cooter Joe on God only knows what, for about 1/3 of the song! And that’s a damn long time. The band was laughing their asses off and wouldn’t let security drag him off. Did I say it was a kick ass show? 😁
You’ve gotta do “I Need You “ From The Second Helping Album also “Gimme Back My Bullets” for one of the greatest lines in Rock. ‘Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around …’ If you want a bit of blue grass then Dolly Parton’s “Joshua “ is well worth checking out 👍🏼
This is a rabbit hole of Southern rock ... their backstop is one of nothing but obstacles.... excellent music ...the ballot of Curtis Lowe is a MUST ...
I'll take a Second Helping of that ! 😜😂😂😂
Ballad of Curtis Lowe
Damn straight. Curtis Lowe is a great one 👍👍🇺🇸
Southern Rock! You have Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers, .38 Special, Georgia Satellites, Kentucky Headhunters, ZZ Top, and the Marshall Tucker Band to name a few suggestions.
@@joshsmith302 .38 Special Van Zandts brother.
Rob, if you don't let her listen/react to 'Whipping Post' by the Allman Brothers, you're honestly cheating her out of hearing one of the greatest songs ever written, Southern rock or otherwise. Also, with Lynyrd Skynyrd, you really have to listen to 'Saturday Night Special', 'That Smell', and 'Call Me the Breeze'. All big time bangers.
the live at the fillmore version is a total jam
They or at least he reacted to Whipping Post.
Allman Brothers for sure, although Whipping Post is overdone. How about Midnight Rider for a change.
Please listen to Statesboro Blues by Allman Brothers.
I think they would love Call Me The Breeze and also T For Texas.
Lynyrd Skynyrd IS the epitome of Southern Rock
Muscle Shoals Alabama Music
Them and CCR
There are 2. LS and Allman Bros
Jay said DO I HEAR COWBELL LOL IT was the 70s Jay OF course you heard Cowbell
@@theodoreritola7641 Even if you didnt have someone with a cowbell in the studio with you there would STILL be cowbell on the track, the '70s were wild.
If you want more story telling, Skynard's "Ballad of Curtis Loew" is one of the best. It'll tug at your heart strings, but it's absolutely worth it.
Yes! I second "Ballad of Curtis Loew"!
I second you, David.
I agree. Storytelling at its best.
My favorite Skynyrd song.
Yes!
“Call me the Breeze” (JJ Cale) is one of their bigger hits and is upbeat with a great lead guitar and piano solo! Not to mention all their other songs requested. “You Got that Right” is another great one!
JJ Cale has my vote!
You two would be blown away by "They Call Me The Breeze" it will definitely be your favorite Skynyrd song, BY FAR!!!
Southern Rock can be a deep & varied experience. Besides Lynyrd Skynyrd there is The Allman Brothers Band (arguably the originators of Southern Rock), The Marshall Tucker Band, The Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie, Grinderswitch, The Outlaws, Black Oak Arkansas, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, and Atlanta Rhythm Section, to name just a few. Other groups of a similar vein such as ZZ Top, Little Feat , Jimmy Buffet, and Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
A Parrothead (Jimmy Buffet fan) here, he's awesome though what he describes as Gulf & Western has a bit more Carribean influence than most Southern Rock artists. Bit mellower, more comical & philosophical, his backup band, the Coral Reefers, tend to have a large repitoir
Georgia Satellites, Kentucky Headhunters, Stray Cats... the list goes on forever.
I Love Molly Hatchet, Flirtin With Disaster.
While ZZ Top is from Southern Rock, I tend to think of Texas guitarists as their own thing.
I'd put The Black Crowes on that list too. Yeah, they were a lot newer than Skynyrd or the Allmans, but they very much continued the tradition.
Southern rock legends. It's the triple guitar that gives them most of their distinctive sound.
That Smell, Gimme Back My Bullets, and of course Sweet Home Alabama for more.
Oh, yes, "That Smell" should be played after "Ballad of Curtis Loew".
This song was based on a REAL experience of the lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt. He came tearing out the back door of a popular bar in Jacksonville, FL because he was dancing with a woman (her name really was Linda Lou) and had no idea she was married. Her husband came in and it wasn't a pretty scene. And yes.....the husband DID pull out a gun and point it at Ronnie.
the place was called "TUBBS"
And let’s face it, Jax has always been Gotham without Batman to make people behave
Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the best Southern Rock bands ever to grace this earth. And yes, Sweet Home Alabama is one of their all time classics. Ed King (rest his soul) came up with the iconic opening guitar work for that song off the cuff when he walked into their recording studio (nicknamed “Hell House” because it had no a/c) and heard Gary Rossington playing a few cords.

Yep, they took the Allman Brothers to another level.
Plenty more Skynyrd: "Call Me the Breeze"--with killer guitar AND piano solos--"Sweet Home Alabama" "That Smell" "Saturday Night Special" "What's Your Name"
The perfect list for them.
You guys have gotta treat yourselves to They Call Me The Breeze. It's got everything y'all love.
Killer guitar licks, keyboards, and yes, Amber gets her horns !!! Give it a shot.
I'll give it a shot, Thx! 😊
Free Bird is probably the band's most hyped song, but I've always thought Breeze was the real gem in their catalog. Simply stunning guitar and keyboard solos!!
Georgia Satellites is another southern rock band from the 80's, "Keep your hands to yourself" & "Battleship Chains" are two of their most well know songs.
Railroad Steel is another good one.
Have to add "It's All Over But The Crying"
They heavly sampled Rod Stewarts song Hot Legs In 1977 Keep your hands. And in the back of a truck
Definitely more Lynyrd Skynard, please!
🌟"Sweet Home Alabama"
🌟"The Ballad of Curtis Loew"
🌟"That Smell"
You'll definitely love Sweet Home Alabama!! A southern pride song
“I Know a Little” is a great and underplayed Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
Billy Strings is a fabulous blue grass artist. He’s young and touring as we speak!
If you want more Skynyrd you have to do "The Ballad of Curtis Loew"! This was a great reaction video, then again they all are. It's cool how y'all are just so likable.
I love these 2 discoveries of older music and appreciate it keep it going music Unites us all
04:41 ahhhhhh finally reactors who actually get the humor in this song.
Every other reactor I have seen is either not paying attention or simply don't get it.
Props to both of you.
The last line in the third verse especially, always makes me smile.
"And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out through the door"
The mental image of Ronnie flying out the door while screaming is hilarious.
My personal favorite of the fun songs even though he’s looking down the barrel of a 44 magnums “ the most powerful handgun” as Dirty Harry used to say 😝 😆.
" you're either gonna hit elbows or asshole cos I'm GONE "
If I remember the story correctly as told by Ronnie, it was Ronnie and Gary Rossington coming out of a bar in Atlanta together and saw a pretty girl with a small, not so pretty fella. Gary 'wolf-whistled'. Fella turned around and told Gary to do it again. Gary obliged. Fella pulled a gun, pointing it at the two of them, shaking so badly he probably wouldn't have hit them, girl yelled/screamed, fella looked at girl and yelled at her, Ronnie and Gary both decided at that moment it would be a good eye-deer to haul ass. Ronnie said he learned a lesson that early morning, that no matter how puny the other fella may be, that gun he pulled was awful dayummed big lookin down the barrel.
Agree….. this is a great song and I’m sure most men have been in the crosshairs of the jealous boyfriend/husband. I love it!
@@snafubar5491 ty for the story I can see it happening
I love when Amber's really into it, and she's like, "don't talk to me right now!"
Del McCoury Band, Alison Krause and Union Station, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ricky Scaggs, Krueger Brothers, Emmylou Harris (!), start with those. I'd google their top three hits.
I'd like to add one more artist/band to that excellent list...that band would be Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Specifically Hot Burrito #1 and, %he Dark End of the Street. Keep up the good work.
Love Ricky Skaggs, crying my heart out over you, I wouldn't change you if I could my favorite from him
Yes! Alison Krause and Union Station!!!!
I live in Jacksonville. Can’t go anywhere without a Skynyrd story from locals. Legendary. They’d rehearse in a shack with no air conditioning, but plenty of mosquitoes and snakes.
My great aunt taught English at Lee, she knew Skinner….. she taught a bunch of places though.. Lee, Fletcher, DuPont (when it was still a high school). She taught at JU too. Anyway, she just kinda rolled her eyes about the coach. I don’t think she was too fond of him
back when they were just getting started (long before the name) they used to practice in my grandmothers garage in Oceanway, right next to the school on Florida Ave. my uncle Herb played Guitar as well and knew them from school which is how the use of the garage was secured. sadly the garage and the house are long since gone, but one of my uncles has an 8MM tape of them playing in that garage when they were teens. no sound sadly.
When you ask for bluegrass, Alison Krauss is one of the best. Even though she plays bluegrass primarily, she also has paired up with Robert Plant for some interesting music. They won Grammys for the raising Sand album.
Allison has like 23 Grammys. More than any other female artist.
Ricky Skaggs an awesome and my favorite blue grass singer, crying my heart out over you and I wouldn't change you if I could my favorites
Would Nickel Creek be considered blue grass?
Alison Krauss, YES! My vote for female Friday, she has a voice straight from Heaven.
Billy Strings has to be explored in the Bluegrass genre. Depending on the song, the band ranges from traditional bluegrass, to jam band, to heavy metal bluegrass. Billy is awesome as are the rest of his band mates. Maybe start with "Meet Me At The Creek".
OMG… Alison Krauss is the angel of Bluegrass. And just for an added bonus she’s been doing music with Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin and it rocks!
Lynyrd Skynyrd never recorded a bad song. One of a few bands that touted the 3 lead guitar format. The story line of the song was from a real life experience with the band at a bar. It went down pretty much like the song says. But after they left, Ronnie started thinking about it and wanted to go back to fight the guy. Instead, they talked him into immediately going to write a song about the event, which turned into, "Gimme Three Steps".
Skynyrd created the 3 guitar attack
@@ChuckyRay01 And all 3, Allen, Gary and Ed were top tier guitar players.
#1 band for the most cover bands to come after
I needed this tonight ❤ I lost my Dad in October, & he's the one who got me hooked on Lynrd Skynrd.....its been a struggle through the holidays...but y'all reminded me of mine & his good times!
Sending you love ❤️
I’m sorry for your loss.
My condolences to you for the loss of your father, Tracy
Prayers going out to you and your family
Thank you! This was a happy memory though! So ty for that also!
He’s still there with you. Always will be. Lost my dad 5 years ago. It’s rough but the memories keep the spirit alive. Hang in there. ❤️🙏🏻
If I am not mistaken this was a true story.
Yes they are the epitome of Southern Rock! Freebird, Sweet Home Alabama and all of their songs.
The Allman Brothers Band
Marshall Tucker Band.
When their plane crashed it was such a tragedy.
CCR is swamp Rock
yes I heard same thing that this was a true story
You’re right. I think it happened to Gary Rossington
This happened to Ronnie vanzant in a biker bar in Jacksonville called the past time. He wrote the song on his way home.
Love, love, love Amber's reaction to this song. Have rewatched this so many times to see her reacting.
So many great songs from this legendary band, really can't go wrong. Another great storytelling song is "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe". Musically I think you both will love "Call Me the Breeze". Please don't make us wait 6 months to hear more Skynyrd, such a great band.
Call Me the Breeze, written by J.J. Cale
After the band's tragic plane crash in 1977, the group "38 Special" had some family connections to Skynyrd, though their music no longer had the Southern Rock influence. Still they had a number of good songs: "Caught Up in You" "Back Where You Belong" "Teacher, Teacher" "Hold on Loosely" "Rockin' Into the Night"
Ronnie Vanzant - Original Front man for Skynyrd
Donnie Vanzant Guitarist for 38 Special
Johnny Vanzant Younger Brother to the other 2 - Current Front man for Skynyrd
.38 Special was the first concert I ever went to!
I was in a kinda crappy mood today. Saw this song on the playlist, and remembering Amber's reaction to the three steps part, went to it and sure enough, it lifted me partly out of the bad mood. You kids are so precious.
"What's Your Name", "Sweet Home Alabama", "38 Special", and"They Call Me The Breeze" are also great songs by them.
For more Southern Rock check out Allman Brothers, 38 Special, or Molly Hatchet.
😃
I think you meant Saturday Night Special and not 38 Special.....😉
On The Hunt at Winterland 1975, I Need You, Travellin Man, T for Texas. All AMAZING!!
38 special good band Ronnie's younger brother Donny Freebird about Duane Allman
@smileytaxi he called the Skynyrd song "38 Special", I believe he was referring to the song Saturday Night Special.
But yeah, I love Skynyrd......38 Special, not so much.
Definitely, definitely "They Call Me the Breeze".
Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. They had lots of great songs such as "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird", "Simple Man", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name" etc. After releasing five studio albums & one live album, the band's career was abruptly halted on October 20, 1977, when their chartered airplane crashed, killing Van Zant, Steve Gaines, & backup singer Cassie Gaines & seriously injuring the rest of the band. Lynyrd Skynyrd reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Ronnie's brother Johnny Van Zant as lead vocalist.
I was fortunate to see Skynyrd (with Ronnie), and ZZ Top on the same bill, maybe 30 years ago now in the Tacoma Dome.
I seriously love you guys so much lol you have no idea the amount of joy I get out of watching you both experience the music I grew up on for the first time :) Thank you for bringing happiness into my life!
Lynyrd Skynyrd never disappoints and it's always a joy to see you fall in love with all this new music for you. You are correct Jay, they do sing "Sweet Home Alabama". Some other great ones you need to hear of theirs are "Gimme Back My Bullets", "That Smell" and "Saturday Night Special".
They also have done some Christmas music as well. Look up "Christmas Time Again".
For some CCR songs: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Down On the Corner".
Amber, you have mentioned before that you've seen 'O Brother, Where Art Thou', there are some songs from that fitting the style you are looking for that you could introduce to Jay. "I'll Fly Away" by Alison Krauss and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by Harry McClintock.
I don't believe you have reacted to any Southern blues yet. From 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' there is the song "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" by Chris Thomas King, also check out Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" and "Lonesome Road Blues" by Muddy Waters.
For more Skynyrd, gotta do Call Me the Breeze next. It's got everything, fun lyrics, wailing guitar, horns, and a bit of stride piano.
That is a kick ass cover of the original! Do yourself a favor and give this a listen.th-cam.com/video/TlppIdtLw5A/w-d-xo.html
They did it. 😎
Nice to see younger generations, being open minded and appreciative of good fun music. 😊
From what I understand, this song was based on a true story. The writer wasn't concerned about taking a beating, it was the gun and the threat that "this might be all for you".
On another note, your southern Rock journey MUST include Molly Hatchet's "Flirting With Disaster".
EDIT: I remember seeing an original LIVE version of this and it wasn't, "Mister, I didn't even kiss her!" That version was, "Mister, I didn't even 'stick' her!" Which, I suppose you could say, was the raunchy version.
Bluegrass suggestion for you? "In the jailhouse now" by Tim Blake Nelson and the Soggy Bottom Boys, from the "O Brother, where art thou?" soundtrack.
All of their songs were based on true events
I love this song, but I love Amber's reaction even more!!!
You guys nailed it Lynyrd Skynyrd really was the epitome of Southern Rock.
My absolute favorite southern rock band is .38 Special. "Hold On Loosely", "Back Were You Belong", Caught Up In You", 'If I'd Been The One" & You Keep Runnin' Away" are just a few of their hits.
It made me smile through the whole reaction seeing your enjoyment of a song that I've loved and listened to for decades. Skynyrd was/IS the bomb.
Skynyrd, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers, Kansas are all in my Southern Rock collection. Great reaction glad y'all enjoyed, hope to hear more on the Southern Rock music
the Eagles, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Pure Prairie League, Blackfoot, Jackson Browne, Kentucky Headhunters, Marshall Tucker Band, the Outlaws, Georgia Satellites, Ram Jam, Steve Earle
This was actually based on a real story where lead singer Ronnie Van Zant had while visiting a biker bar.
38 Special is band you should react to. They have somethng in common, not only are they two southern rock but 38 Special has Ronnie's brother Donnie Van Zant as a member.
Molly Hatchet is also another band popular in the 70s and 80s (one of my very favorites). Molly Hatchet also came out of Jacksonville, FL, the same as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Charlie Daniels and Marshall Tucker are also ones you should listen to.
Fun Fact: the band Lynyrd Skynyrd name is in homage to a gym teacher they knew in high school who would always complain about the band members and their long hair.
My great aunt taught at Lee High School with him. I remember him doing commercials for selling real estate at the beaches, when I was little. Apparently, the Jug was on Len Turner Rd (I think)… yes I’m from Jax
Yeah, I worked with the actual Linda Lou mentioned in the song. She went high school with Ronnie and had some great stories.
38 Special, Hold on Loosely, is great.
"I Know A Little". This song is quick and very boogie woogie. You will love this. The piano riff alone is classic. Billy Powell, the piano player, was classically trained, but Van Zandt never knew it until after he joined band. Also, an oldie, but goodie, Call Me the Breeze.
I know a little was also written by Steve Gaines who was from Oklahoma.
Billy was actually a roadie with LS. The band heard him playing the piano and was blown away and asked him to join.
Skynyrd is my all time favorite band. Watching you react to freebies now. You will love Red,White,and Blue. COMING Home. And Lucky Man.
You two did not disappoint. Your reaction to what have asked was what I guessed it would be. Glad you enjoyed.
You never fail to entertain us!❤
Omg i love watching the total true enjoyment you both get listening to skynard you make it even better then it is if thats possible
The great thing about their songs is that they’re true stories. This song was based on a true story. Listen to “That Smell”. Another good song.
my fave
At a bar on either Lem Turner or Dunn Avenue. I grew up I Lakewood, so not my side of town. Just know that it was on the West Side
@@tranurse it was a bar called the Brown jug it was on Stockton Street and that's gone now
@@stevenstephens3339 thanks. The only bar I knew on the West side was The Beer Witch, and that was because a friend of my parents owned it. I only went there once, and that was to clean and scrape a bunch of chairs, and tables. My step dad believed that my brother and I were slave labor… and would volunteer our help frequently. We didn’t have any say in the matter and didn’t get paid for our time……..
One of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. Here's a handful of some of their best songs, some well known and others more obscure.
1. That Smell
2. Gimme Back My Bullets
3. The Needle And The Spoon
4. Mr. Saturday Night Special
5. Tuesday's Gone
6. The Ballad Of Curtis Loewe
Fun to watch you guys enjoying this song. You nailed what it was all about. Great reaction to Gimme Three Steps. One of my favorite Skynyrd songs. Keep smiling guys.
Watched a documentary on them a few months ago. They were perfectionists. They had a house by a river where they created. By the time they got to the studio the entire song was polished and they were ready to record. Had to be a producer's dream! 😆
Call Me The Breeze is another good song from this band
"Let my hippy heart be happy" lol, favorite new personal axiom...
Bell bottoms baby!
Growing up in West Virginia, I was exposed to a lot of Southern Rock and some country that had a rock sound. Try Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchet, Hank Williams, Jr., Waylon Jennings and Charlie Daniels. They’re all incredible!
Love this song!! My mama's name was Linda Lou and us kids always used to tease her with this song. What's Your Name is another good song by them. Great reaction!! 🙂
THIS SKYNYRD SONG WAS MY VERY FAVORITE TO PLAY DRUMS TO, WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND ROCKING. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED JAMMING OUT TO THIS!!!
Love seeing you guys rockin out to Skynyrd! It is a joy to see younger folks enjoying the music I grew up with... the days where the artist had to have real talent to succeed.
So many great Lynyrd Skynyrd hits. This is one of my favorites though. "Call Me the Breeze" is another one. "Simple Man" is fantastic. You can't help but love it. "Saturday Night Special" is good rocking. "Ballad of Curtis Lowe" is good bluesey stuff. "Free Bird" is an absolute Rock Anthem, but you've already done it. "Sweet Home Alabama" was one of their biggest hits. It has anthem status too.
We called them bell bottom pants back in the day! I seen them several times and never disappointed!
The guitar sounds so great because there are three of them playing in unison! That's right, three guitar players 'harmonizing' together. It was epic to see them live!
I saw them in mid-seventies and had a ticket to see them again in late 77., but their plane crashed and tragically ended the band.
YES, they wrote Sweet Home Alabama...and they do it the best!
I was introduced to the music of Skynard in 81 at a Christian summer camp. Loved them ever since. Call Me The Breeze was our song when we hit the road!
This in a lot of ways was the music of my growing up. And I always loved the humor in this song. And apparently it's based on somewhat of a true story.
This song was inspired by a real life experience of Ronnie Van Zandt (RIP), at a biker bar in Jacksonville, FL (their hometown). Place is called The Pastime (aka the jug) and is still open for business
Nope. It's about the "Little Brown Jug" on Edison Ave.
@@raykennedy5171 it's the same bar, but it has apparently had different names over time
I agree, in my opinion, Lynyrd Skynyrd is, THE, southern rock sound.
You guys do the best reaction videos...Hands down... You party with us every time !!
Another southern rock band, Molly Hatchet. Songs to listen to are, "Flirtin' With Disaster ", "Dreams I'll Never see", and " Satisfied Man". They have more.
Ditto. Was thinking the exact same thing. They would love “Flirtin’! Rippin’ Southern Rock anthem with a kick ass guitar solo. So good!🔥🤙
Also Fall of the Peacemakers.
I remember going to see 38 Special and Molly Hatchet at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in 1978.
Skynyrd are the best. I'd recommend listening to, The balled of Curtis Lowe. That is an AMAZING Skynyrd song.
Great reaction vid & best wishes from us in the UK.
You nailed it young lady! Southern Rock at its finest!
I spent my teenage years in Florida and southern rock was my jam. More Skynyrd? Definitely Sweet Home Alabama. Also Call Me The Breeze and Tuesday's Gone. All excellent.
Lynyrd Skynard was actually their High School PE Coach / Teacher who the band was named after ! The Ballad of Curtis Loew is my favorite Skynard song. Thanks guys you rock =)
If I'm remembering right they did a photo shoot with him before he passed away. They named the band as kind of nose-thumb at him, but he had a good sense of humor about it.
... aka Leonard Skinner...
@@redcaddiedaddie Yes I should have said that. Good call.
DuuuuuuuuvvvaaaaaaaaLLLLLL
Jacksonville Florida Boys, I am too..
Been to the Jug, where I also cut a rug.. went to the same high school as them..
Dad was fishing buddies with the piano player Billy Powell. When they started touring in the 90’s, Billy bought a new boat, and took my Dad and I out on it, I was like 7 and didn’t know the guy was famous, also I met Alan Collins after he was in the wheel Chair at a party my dad took me to..
Lynard Skynard is in my soul..
Fly Freebird Fly
i very much agree, when i think southern rock i think Lynard Skynard. my all time fav is
"tuesdays gone" think you will love it.
Skynyrd primarily went with 3 lead guitarists, that was their sound. Loved allot of there music, it males you want to move. Sweet Home Alabama was them, and a great song. Was a response to Neil Young's Southern Man, another good song,
Fun fact for you about Sweet Home Alabama and the Neil Young reference. If you listen very carefully to your left speaker, right after Ronnie sings “I heard Mr. Young sing about her” you’ll hear very faintly Al Cooper (who produced the album, and a musician himself) sing the words “Southern Man” in a Neil Young sound alike voice. I heard an interview with Ed King who mentioned this. I couldn’t believe after hearing this song for over 40 years I had never picked up on this!
@@Gordy63 Going to have to pick up some better headphones. Never new that.
You can even hear it in your car - just need to listen for it because it’s so subtle.
This is my absolute favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song. My brother played it for me when I was little and I've loved it ever since.
Hey Jordan and Amber, in case you're wondering about where Lynyrd Skynyrd got their band's name from:
They named the band after one of the High School coaches, Leonard Skinner, that a lot of the members had when they were students at Robert E. Lee High School in Gainesville, Florida
Jacksonville, Florida actually
Leonard Skinner the man.
th-cam.com/video/3YlJGVkRfWM/w-d-xo.html
Yes, Lynyrd Skynyrd is the pinnacle of Southern Rock and Roll but they have a lot of company. The Allman Brothers are probably second in line (in my mind) followed pretty closely by Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Elvin Bishop, ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot.
All fantastic, and I would add Outlaws to the list… Green Grass And High Tides or Ghost Riders In The Sky
Don't forget Lowell George and Little Feat. They were pretty much at the top of Southern Rock too.
& the Atlanta rhythm section,elvin bishop,wet Willie,black oak Arkansas,little feat,Molly hatchet
Lynard Skynerd reminds me of a great summer with a few beers, with great vibes! Fantastic summer vacay!
Before Kenny Rogers became a solo artist, he was with The First Edition. It was during the Vietnam War and he sang a song RUBY (DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN). It was about a returning wounded vet and his wife. They did some great music, but you never hear much about it on these reaction videos. Take a listen...you guys are my faves!
Yes please listen to ruby
By Kenny Rogers and the first edition
How about Just Dropped In. When he was with the First Edition.
If you do “ Call Me the Breeze” please do the studio version, live versions sound guys push the guitars and drums forward and pull back the piano plus “live” versions don’t have the horn section. This song and “Ballad of Curtis Loewe” are my two favs. 🤘😎✌️💕
I call this basement rock. My brothers rocked to this in the basement when I was little. Got to see them when I was a teenager, there was a heavy cloud of smoke over us general admissions. 😂
For a lesser known one, my personal favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is “Made in the Shade”
You sure got that right
This LITERALLY happened to me a few months before this song came out!!!
I swear this happened to me, and yes, “ I was screamin’ as I was headin’ towards the door..”
To this day, I remember Jack Armstrong with a sewer pipe with a trigger below it aiming it at me!
I am grateful God protects the obliviously stupid!!!.😎👍👍👍
It warms the heart to watch people enjoying some Skynyrd Nation it soothes the soul
Bluegrass -
Rocky Top by Osborne Brothers.
Blue Moon of Kentucky by Bill Monroe
Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Flatt and Scruggs
Wayfaring Stranger by Emmylou Harris
Meet me by the Moonlight by Stanley Brothers
This is one my favorite songs from them. It’s so funny. 🤣🤣🤣 Also, 100% a true story. For more great songs from them check out: Call me the Breeze, That smell, and Saturday Night Special. Studio versions. They had 4 guitarist I think, amazing band.
As a Southern Rock fan, I love CCR, but I have to say they are fake Southerners. They’re not really from the south, but there was a big following at the time, and they adopted the sound. They’re from California, not the Louisiana, or the bayou. Still, a great band.
Great suggestions! I'll be waiting for them to show up here.
Flint Hill Special, too.
For Amber....You must check out the band NEW GRASS REVIVAL and the song CAN'T STOP NOW. It's bluegrass on steroids.
They should check out the man who created the bluegrass genre before they get into the new stuff. Here's Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys.
th-cam.com/video/4syA9aNnNa0/w-d-xo.html
Your so right Groovy....Ive listened to every other Bluegrass band I see suggested here....And this band and this song are the top. No offense to any of the other suggestions....but if you don't like this band?.... You don't like music.
I just looked the the (official?) video. Bela looks so young! Great song!!
Hot dang another New Grass Revival fan. I have every record they ever released a well as most solo project and collab by every member from their conception to what they are doing currently.
@@mikedrake6662 nothing wrong with the new stuff, but the pioneers of the genre like Bill Monroe, The Osborne Brothers, Lester Flatt, and Earl Scruggs deserve their credit. Don't ignore them.
LOVE watching your guys reactions. The music really moves your soul and bodies!
I recommend Lynyrd Skynyrd “That Smell”. More great guitar and more well-written lyrics.
Their Live Album "One More from The Road", is an absolute masterpiece.
When I was a teenager, you could tell how much I liked an album by how long it sat on my turntable after I bought it. One More From the Road was there for a solid month, I'd guess. It's great for two reasons:
1) It showed what a phenomenally great live act they really were. Just rippin' performances from start to finish
2) It showed what a great collection of songs they'd written by then. Not many bands could pull four sides of solid A+ material from four previous albums.
They were the real deal in every way.
still have my copies, both vinyl, and CD......they played the living hell out of "Freebird"
OMG you would JUST ADORE the Avett Brothers, from the mountains of my beloved North Carolina ‼️
Especially their old stuff.
They are STEEPED in old mountain bluegrass! 💜💙💖
You should react to Lynyrd Skynyrd's song (The Ballad Of Curtis Lowe) an amazing song, great story, great story telling.
If you love Southern Rock, early The Outlaws albums are a MUST! Highly recommended jams by The Outlaws are: Green Grass and High Tides, Knoxville Girl (the remastered version is best) and Waterhole (all from their first debut album from 1975) are probably the best taste of a mix of southern rock with bluegrass that you will ever get :) Keep on rockin'. Amber and J and thanks for the positive vibrations always! Happy Holidays!!
Haven't seen you guys do Sweet Home Alabama yet or have I just missed it. Must hear Skynard.! Love your channel. I was born in 55 and lived through all this.
If you want Blue Grass, react to Earl Scruggs and Friends playing “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.” It is a fabulous instrumental with many famous musicians contributing to the arrangement.
Earl Scruggs reinvented the banjo. He is the Babe Ruth of Bluegrass music.
Flatt & Scruggs came to my mind when she said "Bluegrass" too 🪕 And Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Cowboys too🏹
Bluegrass? Can’t go wrong with Alison Krauss. She has 27 Grammy Awards. In a word; legend!
A bunch of legends in Bluegrass music. Bill Monroe,-(Blue moon of Kentucky). Ricky Skaggs,-(Country Boy). Just to name a few. They should try a little bluegrass.👍😎🤘
th-cam.com/video/isvTO_SdfDw/w-d-xo.html RIP 😪
Oh yea! Ricky Skaggs is fire too
@@joshsmith302 and I’ll add Ralph Stanley & Patty Lovelace doing “Pretty Polly” to the bluegrass suggestions.
Allison and Robert Plant’s new album is beyond fantastic.
Great reaction, how music is supposed to make you feel!! Well done!
“Smell That Smell” is to me absolutely at the top of the Skynerd list. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE That and “ Saturday Night Special” . This is even though this Southern man totally disagrees with its anti-gun verses. Still a great song. And of course the classics “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama”. Saw them in Little Rock back in the 70’s and during Free Bird this tall blond haired dude climbs on stage “nekkid”, excepting his cowboy hat, and stands at the front of the stage with his arms up, outstretched clearly higher than Cooter Joe on God only knows what, for about 1/3 of the song! And that’s a damn long time. The band was laughing their asses off and wouldn’t let security drag him off. Did I say it was a kick ass show? 😁
Oh c'mon y'all you gotta GOTTA react to Georgia Satellites - "Keep your hands to yourself" !!!!!!!
You BOTH made me laugh so hard today!
Thank you for what you do!
You’ve gotta do “I Need You “ From The Second Helping Album also “Gimme Back My Bullets” for one of the greatest lines in Rock.
‘Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around …’
If you want a bit of blue grass then Dolly Parton’s “Joshua “ is well worth checking out 👍🏼
another great song off that album - Was I Right or Wrong
@@johnkendall6558 The Needle and The Spoon is quality too
