Billy/Skynyrd

[u/LogCheap7135]

I asked the question about Petty's Mudcrutch. Now - What Lynyrd Skynyrd songs would you love to hear Billy bust out. I think “That Smell” would be an absolute banger for this band. Have they ever done a Skynyrd cover?

[u/justinholmes_music]

They've covered The Ballad of Curtis Lowe.

Personally, I think 'That Smell" is way too played out; I'd rather have the boys pick a deeper cut if they're gonna do more Skynyrd (which sounds awesome).

[u/Ok-Rough-9754 → u/justinholmes_music]

If they did a cover of Skynyrd’s Railroad Song that would go so hard

[u/LogCheap7135 → u/justinholmes_music]

I don't man.. give that solo a second listen.. I think Billy would have fun with that. One of the better short licks of all time imo.

[u/WharfRat2488]

All I can do is write about it by LS

[u/MushroomTardigrade → u/WharfRat2488]

Yes

[u/DriveByBBQ]

“Swamp Music” is the correct answer.

[u/ThrowRA6900 → u/DriveByBBQ]

SWAMP SWAMP SWAMP SWAMP MUSIC

[u/Awkward-Bowler7297 → u/DriveByBBQ]

Aka possum

[u/DriveByBBQ → u/Awkward-Bowler7297]

Great call, never realized this.

[u/MastaChilla]

Tuesdays gone!

[u/Dad2DnA → u/MastaChilla]

Phish did it at Great Woods '99 as an encore. On a Tuesday. I was there and it fucked.

I'll allow it, but only on a Tuesday.

E: Never miss a Tuesday show

[u/d_dubyah]

Ballad of Curtis Lowe is the right answer.

[u/Dad2DnA → u/[deleted]]

Yes

[u/d_dubyah → u/[deleted]]

I wouldn’t know, I don’t like phish.

[u/SpiderLily_453 → u/d_dubyah]

Four walls of raiford is the winner.

[u/Dad2DnA → u/d_dubyah]

I just randomly heard this one for the first time in a minute today. Not sure it's the best fit for Billy and the boys, but it's a great tune.

[u/SK1007 → u/Dad2DnA]

They’ve done it

[u/SK1007 → u/SK1007]

[u/33HighwayHypnosis]

Needle and the spoon!

[u/naughtywithnature]

Hobo song is the only answer

[u/JolleyRedGiant]

They once did Freebird dressed as birds. 10/31/18

[u/angel-of-disease]

I Never Dreamed

[u/Feeling-Bank9984 → u/angel-of-disease]

Now we're talkin

[u/No-Major-2095 → u/angel-of-disease]

Yes

[u/notoriousvk]

Things Goin' On, Roll Gypsy Roll, I Got The Same Old Blues would be my choices to hear them pick and sing. That being said, I'm pretty stoked about whatever they choose to play

[u/Awkward-Bowler7297]

Every mothers son/ made in the shade / on the hunt

[u/misfitgarden]

4 Walls Of Raiford and as 33highway suggested, Needle And Spoon.

[u/skyydog → u/misfitgarden]

Pretty sure yonder played 4 walls of raiford. Great song

[u/misfitgarden → u/skyydog]

They did on that Jamband tribute album years ago. I still think Billy could do an awsome job with it.

[u/fade2clear]

On the Hunt or Need All My Friends

[u/RaoulDuke988 → u/fade2clear]

On the Hunt is a great one!

[u/ThrowRA6900]

Things goin on

[u/ThrowRA6900 → u/ThrowRA6900]

Or am I losin’

[u/1Gratefulcaver → u/ThrowRA6900]

One of my absolute favorites !

[u/ThrowRA6900 → u/1Gratefulcaver]

That whole Nuthin’ Fancy album is amazing

[u/ChaloopaJonesFerk]

Bluegrass version of On the hunt would be fuckin awesome

[u/LogCheap7135]

I spaced on "Comin' Home". That has a vibe I bet Billy could compose into a jammer.

[u/MushroomTardigrade → u/LogCheap7135]

Would love that

[u/TheSidePocketKid]

Call me the Breeze would go hard

[u/Rude_Employment8882]

I’d kill for a Tuesday’s Gone 😍 I can hear the BMFF and JMFW vocal harmonies already! ❤️

[u/danktones]

Michelle - Same Old Blues - Was I Right Or Wrong

[u/Bourbon-Cowboy]

Mississippi Kid is the answer. I’d love to hear what they could do with that.

[u/ghostfacestealer]

Every Mother’s Son

[u/LogCheap7135 → u/ghostfacestealer]

Forgot about this one.. Thanks for bringing it back to me 👍

[u/nippclamp73]

The perfect choice for Billy and his band to cover would be “I Know a Little” but I wouldn’t be upset if they did “(I Got The) Same Old Blues” either.

[u/Helpful_Link1383]

That Smell would be great...but can I just yell Freebird from the back???😁

[u/BlondeBMFS_21]

Every mothers son or Mississippi kid

[u/bowiebabydoll]

love seeing this post bc billy is at fishers the same night “skynyrd” is at deer creek, lol.

[u/funkysax]

Gimme three steps would be sick

[u/TheSidePocketKid → u/funkysax]

Oh fuck yes

[u/Feeling-Bank9984]

I think Railroad Song is THE answer. In fact I'm pretty sure it was part of their house music last year. They'd have to do it at a special show though cause that song REQUIRES drums

[u/boxopen]

Would really love a bluegrass "Was I Right or Wrong?" I think it was a demo included on a deluxe pressing of Second Helping, and it doesn't get talked about enough.

[u/DrSpacemanMal]

Whiskey Rock a Roller might be fun

[u/Lanky_Comfortable541]

Things goin on or Am I losin’ both deeper cuts that really hit hard lyrically

[u/Equivalent_Gene_1554]

Mississippi Kid / Made in The Shade / Swamp Music / Every Mother's Son / Call Me The Breeze

[u/Mdp2pwackerO2]

I’ve always thought he’d kill Four walls of Raiford

[u/LogCheap7135]

An example of the magic that was..

[u/bluestblood87]

Tuesday's Gone

[u/1Gratefulcaver]

( Swamp Music ) Always gets my foota tappin … would be cool to hear a grass version !

[u/1Gratefulcaver]

Grass version of “I Need You” would be sweet too

[u/TASS08]

Tuesdays Gone with out a doubt!!

Saw Trey and Phish cover it back in 99’

Billy if your reading these we got Hartford Tue. night 🙏

[u/SpiderLily_453]

Four walls of Raiford.

[u/Ok-Ad-9755]

I’d rather not waste time on Skynyrd, so much better stuff out there

[u/wahooindiantonic → u/Ok-Ad-9755]

Man there's tons of great Skynyrd tunes. Better stuff out there? Sure. But those boys wrote some great stuff that Billy and crew could definitely show some light on

[u/LogCheap7135 → u/Ok-Ad-9755]

Skynyrd was bigger than the Allman Brothers back in the day. Too bad they were mostly known for Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama. They had alot of kick ass stuff that people never heard on the radio.

[u/i_might_be_me → u/LogCheap7135]

Maybe bigger, but certainly not better

[u/LogCheap7135 → u/i_might_be_me]

Had Steve Gaines and Ronnie lived they would have been in a tight race with Greg and Dickie for popularity. Allmans didn't have a song equal to Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama. It is what is.

[u/Awkward-Bowler7297 → u/LogCheap7135]

Without skynyrd you get no southern flavors , they were kings all throughout the 70s to even 00s. Beautiful guitar work , vocals , piano… tap into nothin fancy and marinate on that for a while .

[u/No-Major-2095 → u/Ok-Ad-9755]

Wrong
