As a southern man that's a country swamp old boy I highly respect the nation of the Seminole

I was born, white, in S. FL. in 1960. When I was little, our Dad took us out into the Glades. It's a special kind of love. I fell in love with the Seminole / Miccosukee culture and history. This song touches me deeply. God bless the Seminole and the Glades. Rob in GA.

As a Cherokee I'm honored that he honors my brothers the respect he gives for our people is real and it is felt and I'm pleased and glad to hear this song it's true and our struggle will never be in vain,Thank you John Amazing Song!

I start my day with this man singing that song and go to sleep with him singing

How long have we cried for environmentalism! Our lands and water disappear like the Seminole wind!

What a shame this talent is hidden behind the trash on radio today.

The more I hear this song, (and trust me I've heard it hundreds of times!), the more I appreciate it! It encompasses all of the elements of good, time-honored true country music! It is authentic in it's emotion and in its' evocation of the myriad of emotions of those who listen to it. The story is simple yet complex in it's message; a message that can transmit through generations to come. Wonderful!

This literally brought tears to my eyes. I've forsaken my country roots too long for different women. I miss the swamp, I miss the woods, I miss my family. Not going to ignore it anymore. Thank you, John.

I was a stagehand when John played October fest in Tuscaloosa. Alabama. Atlanta rytham wouldn't play because the weather was so bad. John played there were only 5 people left one in a wheelchair John had ice crystals in his beard. When he did Seminole wind it choked me up.

This song is beloved to any Native American!

Thanks I used to listen to this CD in the old days with my wife she's been gone for 5 years now it's good to hear your music

My clan doesn't stretch as far as the land of the Seminole, but the Cherokee and Lakota Sioux in me does stand up and pay attention to this.

Real music for real folks. American as it gets!

"And blow, blow from the Okeechobee all the way up to Micanopy." Every time I drive down to Florida and pass Micanopy, I think about this song. I would aways stop in the town of Micanopy at an old book store. Then one day I stopped there and found out it was closed up. The old man who owned the book store had passed away. 😢

Hey how are you doing today..?

If this version of Seminole Wind was playin' on your car radio, I can "see" everyone leaning over to turn the volume UP!! Careful ya'll....eyes on the road! ;-)

This song is on a whole other spiritual level. It is about the love of the Earth and nature in the south and the respect for the holiness of dwelling in the swamp. I grew up in the Everglades. I am old now and live on the Pacific Coast on the other side of the United States. I miss the south so much I cry. Seafood, fishing, friendly people, camps on the water, crawfish boils, Hog roasts, gumbo, alligator tail and turtle soup HOMESICK!!!

I love the bluegrass nature of this version - it really strips it down to what it should be, standing out there in the Glades with a couple of banjos and a fiddle

Absolutely love his voice. Legendary.

The fiddle at the beginning of this, both this version and the original gets me every time. So damn beautiful.

Remember when this guy made it, we were playing packman and Burt Reynolds was number one with Smokey and The Bandit. The Devil went down to Georgia and Hank was singing about all his friend.

I have to add the fact that Lorraine is a very proud looking all American woman. You can tell by her old fashion mannerisms as she sings. Great song and fantastic playing.

Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road make any song they do with another great country artist, like John Anderson, better than the original version. This version is just terrific.

I never wanted to go to Florida because of the tourist trap crap. Then I worked in the glades for two years and am glad that I did. This song now makes perfect sense. My families health took a terrible toll while there and we went back north to the plains. One cannot understand this song until you have a gator or a crock bump the bottom of your boat.

Just awesome to listen to his stories and experiences and taking every day life and portraying in different songs. Always love to hear Seminole wind especially living in South Florida where the swamps are it puts you in the same mood as playing the song. God bless John Anderson

To My 5th GreatGrand Mother Martha Parker Full blood Creek.

Ever since the days of old Men would search for wealth untold They'd dig for silver and for gold And leave the empty holes And way down south in the Everglades Where the black water rolls and the sawgrass waves The eagles fly and the otters play In the land of the Seminole So blow, blow Seminole wind Blow like you're never gonna blow again I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend But I know who you are And blow, blow from the Okeechobee All the way up to Micanopy Blow across the home of the Seminole The alligator and the gar Progress came and took its toll And in the name of flood control They made their plans and they drained the land Now the Glades are goin' dry And the last time I walked in the swamp I stood up on a Cypress stump I listened close and I heard the ghost Of Osceola cry So blow, blow Seminole wind Blow like you're never gonna blow again I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend But I know who you are And blow, blow from the Okeechobee All the way up to Micanopy Blow across the home of the Seminole The alligator and the gar
