Be a Simple Kind of Man

Anyone still remember that song? I like to start the day with that gem from the immortal past.

All that I want for you my son

Is to be satisfied.

One of my favourite songs that I still occasionally send to my son. It embodies exactly what I wish for him.
I like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s original version the best, but I must admit Shinedown’s cover is pretty good.

Great thing to watch.

That was great lol. Great music transcends all.

And thanks Tannim---Simple Man is always worth cranking up and letting the soul soak it in. Here's another favorite of mine because I've been fortunate to know a "Curtis Loew" or two way back when.


And even not so way back when. Anyone ever been to Gip's Place and partied with Mr. Gip? "No Black, No White, Just Blues ~ Henry "Gip" Gipson"


Bonus Live performance:

I am true southern and that is the way I live.
A guide all folks should follow.

My hair's turning white,
My neck's always been red,
My collar's still blue,

red , white , and blue - Skynyrd

My favorite rendition!!!!!!!!

Amazing song both lyrically and musically!

For those Supernatural fans out there...

Jensen Ackles doing his version of this song:

Miss Lynyrd Skynyrd so much. Atlanta native so southern rock is always my go-to music. Saw them in concert a couple times; once in college. Reminds me of the good ole younger days.

I love this one too. - Every Mothers Son

The Fox and "play it purty for Atlanta" ?

Great song, loved it for many years. Shinedown does a good cover of it as well.

I love both songs, and they are both my go to southern rock songs I go to. To bad I never got to see them live with the original members.

Hell yeah! All the time and so do my neighbors. 😎

Wish I had listened better to the wisdom of the words back when I was a kid.

The world is too complicated to be simple these days. To be simple is to be cut off. But I'll take three steps when allowed.

Hahaha! Yes!!! I haven’t been able to sleep all night and this is amazing. This guy reactions are hysterical. Thanx!
simple man, war pigs, comfortably numb.......

First time I heard it was just after my Mam died about 8 years ago, I would sob to myself listening to it, I was only 26 at the time and we were very close. Still makes my eyes well up!

Beautiful song!
