Ronnie giving it to us straight from the heart, this always had the most melancholy feeling that I'm sure the majority of us understand all to well!

Thank you kindly for a Lynyrd Skynyrd reaction.

Sometimes my heart breaks thinking of the tragedy of that plane crash cutting their creative lives short. I’m typing this with tears in my eyes. Great reaction guys. Peace

Can you imagine being in the other plane watching your friends and fellow bandmate crash. The survivors guilt must have been strong

@@davidtullis2810 They were all on a single plane. Ronnie was laying on the floor, sleeping when the trees scraped across the bottom. The 20 survivors had some seriously bad injuries, such as Billy Powell's nose was sheared off and had to be reattached. Allen suffered injured discs and his right hand took a beating. Artimus Pyle probably had the less injuries and was able to walk from the rural crash site to find help. The others couldn't walk. There's a documentary here on KZread any Lynyrd Skynyrd fan might appreciate.

My aunt introduced me to them when I was 6 years old. That was in '76. Now, she wants me to play this at her funeral. Real life

And let's not forget Billy Powell and his tremendous keys on so many of their songs... Roadie promoted to band member!!

Yes yes when they brought him on board the songs where they feature him tickling those ivories (ie free bird) rely kicked it up a notch and might add brought some class to their music.

So many iconic songs in such a short time. This was my favorite until I heard............The Ballad of Curtis Loew. This band will live in music history forever.

One of those debut albums that changes things.

Forby Leonard Skinner (January 11, 1933 - September 20, 2010) was an American high school gym teacher, basketball coach, and businessman from Jacksonville, Florida. He is known in popular culture as the eponym of the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd; Skinner was the band members' teacher.

Lynyrd Skynyrd doing a little Southern Blues. Good stuff on a Saturday morning. Ronnie had an excellent vocal range. Thanks guys.

Lynyrd Skynyrd America's best Rock n Roll band!

Listening to Ronnie 's words and voice is like being with a friend you know your whole life every song goes right to your heart and soul love your reaction you just heard greatness

The fact LS has been gone over 50yrs and are still on the top of many’s playlist is a testament to their powerful lyrics, incredible base and guitar wars and RVZ incredible southern voice. The band of my youth and one of my favorites. Thank you brothers for this.

such a bittersweet and beautiful song, great reaction guys.

Skynyrd was so damn talented! Such a shame to have lost those band members so early on in their ascension to the top. I still consider Skynyrd to be the best southern rock band ever.

Imagine being at a Skynyrd concert in the 1970's listening to song after song of the greatest music ever, Southern Rock! Miss those days!

The greatest band ever

skynyrd always brings a tear as i sip a whiskey.

This song has always made me cry. The sadness and longing portrayed is incredible 🧡

My favorite song by Lynyrd Skynyrd is Simple Man followed by in no particular order Free Bird, Tuesday’s Gone, Call Me The Breeze and The Ballad of Curtis Lowe. I was lucky enough to see them three times before the plane crash with the first being at The Tennessee State Fair in 1974 in Nashville while I was stationed at Ff. Campbell, Kentucky. Skynyrd played first then ZZTop and it was a rockin good time and in my humble opinion Lynyrd Skynyrd stole the show.

The riff that got me to buy my first electric guitar around 20 years ago after hearing the song at the end of Happy Gilmore movie. I heard that riff and I was done.

The instrument that sounded like violins is a Mellotron. An analog keyboard with pre-recorded tape reels of string sections, flutes, brass, and woodwinds under every key, an instrument highly associated with 70's progressive rock.

Unforgettable Southern rock....sung by the best.

love billy powell's piano solo in this tune.... Hell Yeah Y'all

Their live album One More from the Road was one of the first 5 albums I bought, about 40 years ago.

Ya'll are cookin with RnB today ... then my eyes look up to see Grand Funk "Closer to Home" -- be still my heart! ❤ Happy New Year My Friends!! 😊

Beautiful orchestration in this one

Recording was done at Muscle Shoals. Some crazy stories about those early sessions from there first album “Pronounced”

Pretty sure they played this in happy Gilmore also. You hear these good songs all over the place and some people have no idea who it is. It was also in dazed and confused I believe.

Their first album! The whole thing is fire!

Another band that you guys could do every album from beginning to end. They were such a great band

This first album is so strong. And my 1st concert were these guys in '76. Bullets tour. We miss you Ronny.😞

This tune, "On The Hunt" and the "Ballad of Curtis Loew", have always been my top 3 LS songs.

This song features the great Robert Nix on drums. He was the drummer for Atlanta Rhythm Section, and Roy Orbison’s Candymen. I was lucky enough to hang out with him several times. Friend of a friend.

Oh hell yeah! Grand Funk's "Closer to Home" album top and center behind the guys...

Love this song. ! Absolute classic. Played at end of Happy Gilmore. Lol

Southern Rock at its Best 🍻

Such a great song...!

You two are so cute! Your heads are bopping the same through the whole song. Lol ❤️

At this point in my advanced age, I can only hear from one ear and I have to use earbuds to hear at all and still, even hearing just one channel, it's like layer upon layer of musical goodness. I don't know how they managed so much complexity. Great reaction as always guys!

Lynyrd skynyrd was a tight musical band on point each and every time without fail. So glad I got to see them in June of 1977 a concert I'll never ever forget rest in peace lynyrd skynyrd ❤

Ronnie song about his first marriage ending in divorce which was final on a Tuesday it worked on him for years they married at a young age, interesting facts the drummer was Robert Nix from the band Atlanta Rhythm Section bass player and background vocals was their producer Al Kooper on this song… gotta listen to their Live album’ One more from the road’ Live at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta the song T for Texas T for Tennessee oh my it’ll make the dead get up and bust a groove

Lynyrd skynyrd my favorite all time band. I have every album from the real and original skynyrd band The original and the best

They are such a phenomenal band with so much talent & such a deep catalogue. So much more than just Free Bird & Sweet Home Alabama (both of which I absolutely love). Thanks for continuing with them..keep on going!

I love this musical journey for you guys. ❤❤❤

You need to listen to Tuesday Gone AND TRAVELING MAN from live from fox theatre "ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD", GREAT

One of my favorites, great song to reflect on

I remember in junior high I had this album well in fact I had all of their albums plus the Muscle Shoals recordings early on, but like a lot of kids that era of my life was the best of times and the worst of times, and when it was the worst of times, this was one of those songs that could actually make me feel somehow even though I was experiencing all the pain and the regret and the heartache expressed in his voice and in the overall arrangement, but it still rocked enough for a ballad that it kept me glued to it on that level as well. It evokes so many emotions! The Ballad Of Curtis Loew, if you haven't already done it. Also I bet you guys would love Railroad Song.

The drummer on this song was Robert Nix (the drummer for Atlanta Rhythm Section, another great Southern Rock band).

You can make a list of songs from this band and just randomly put your finger on any song and people will like it or you will be able to relate to it in some way Ronnie was one of the best songs writers in rock Some of their best songs they have Trust,All I Can Do Is Right It In A Song,Am I Losing,Down South Jukin and One More Time and the list goes on and on To me this is the best rock band to ever play music If Ronnie had not passed away in the plane crash They would no doubt be the greatest rock band in history These knew how to make great music I offen wonder about the music we never got to hear from this legendary band

Glad you guys did this one, one of my favorites. Saw them before the plane crash. Ballad of Curtis Loew is a good one to listen too!

Love this song

We missed out on the rest of this bands life. Would have been a player for a long time. Brst southern band ever.

great reaction guys. That song can bring tears to the eyes...Real honest emotion in that one.

I’ve been privileged enough to see Skynyrd three or four times! Never with their original band members but still always a blast! Skynyrd and Hank Junior! That was a good time, legend Valley!

Railroad Song from Nuthin’ Fancy is 🔥!

Great song from a great album. The orchestral sounds were from a Mellotron. The drummer on this song was not the regular drummer Bob Burns, it was the drummer from the Atlanta Rhythm Section, Robert Nix.

Another great choice, so glad you reviewed this. Always appreciate when a band employs anything from an orchestra - violin, horns, flute, sax. And of course piano. Takes it all to a whole new level. As far as a song that tells a story, you should listen to Ballad of Curtis Loew. I love how real and down to earth this band was. Well the original band anyway. No offense to the later members but it just wasn't the same after they lost the original cast. Happy Holidays, gents.

Thank you for another great one guys‼️

Must hear T for Texas

Love this band. Seen them in concert several times. You should check out The Ballad of Curtis Loew by them

I love y’all boys so much. Understatement

live version ////// kills it

Hello La & Che, I'd like to suggest another artist that was an incredibly gifted storyteller, if interested. "You Don't Mess Around With Jim by Jim Croce on the Dick Cavett Show" (by the channel: upperdarbybill) This is a taped performance on a tv show that was very popular during this period. Maury Muehleisen on second acoustic performed with Croce during this performance. --James Joseph Croce was an American folk-rock singer, songwriter and guitarist. Who was very popular during the late 60's and early 70's. He released five studio albums and numerous singles during his short career. Sadly, we lost Jim Croce and five others in a plane crash in 1973. A single-engine plane in which he and five others were riding, hit a tree on takeoff. RIP: Jim Croce 💔 🔥U R Missed But he left some beautiful tunes to remember him by and we are very grateful. 🙏

Now ya gotta watch Dazed and Confused. Great movie!!

Last call at the Shilo Lounge in Northport Alabama ,bottoms-up !

Play some Skynyrd bro! Go Laa! Go Chee! Wished I was out in northern Cali so I could hang with guys and check out your studio! You guys are awesome! Your reactions take me back to me first time hearing all these classic tracks from my youth. Thank you.

These guys were just flat out something else. Whatever sound your looking for, they have it, rock, soulful blues, jazz (I know A Little). You name it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd does this for EVERY song. You gotta understand!

There are some bands I can listen to,no lyrics…..all day with these guys. RIP to those in heavens band, you left us diamonds and pearls.❤️🎶❤️

I have lived in Green Cove Springs ( Jax,Fl.) my whole life and Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet , Blackfoot, 38 special are by products of and represent the area well with their Southern Rock music. I run into Johnny Van Zant , Gene Odom ( Band Manager and Ronnie’s best friend sometimes at Walmart or McDonalds and forget how down to earth and personal they are! Nicest people you will meet. Can’t wait for y’all to explore some of their songs that were “ too long” for radio play but to me are some of their best masterpieces ( Mr.Banker, 4 walls of Raiford,etc )

Gone too early…… ❤. This song is perfection ❤️

So so happy that you guys got into this one. As usual you've got the knowledge to understand how and why this is a classic. A couple of things, the orchestration was a mellotron keyboard which along with creamy phasers on the guitars, piano and even a B3 organ made this a dense rich production. Drums by Bob Burns who quit after the 2nd LP, everyone is playing at the top but special mention to the fluid superb bass playing by Leon Wilkeson.

You guys should check out Rory Gallagher “Irish Tour 74” and the song “I Wonder Who” You will surely dig it!!

great track fam 🐺

Seen them in Greeville S.C. a day or two before plane crash was in shock when heard about crash great concert Ted Nugent opening act
