Year: 2009
The Ballad of Curtis Loew is a song written by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant and performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song was first released on the bands 1974 album, Second Helping and again on their compilation, The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd and later on All Time Greatest Hits. It is on many of their compilation albums and before the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash, was performed once live on stage. Ed King says, "The original version of the band only played Curtis Loew one time on stage. We were playing in a basement in some hotel and thought wed try it. We never played it again until the Tribute Tour with Johnny Van Zant." The song can be seen as a tribute to African American bluesmen and their influence on rock music.
