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.
I used to call my local country radio station to request this everyday. Somehow, the female DJ got my address and phone number and told me to come by her house ... which I came to find was literally nine or ten houses down the street from me. So I went by. She gave me a copy of this album to keep me from aggravating her. The squeaky wheel paid off ...
We prayed God would protect our water above ground and beneath the ground in this area once covered by Lake Aggassiz and the government has committed one billion dollars to the preservation off the ground water

So true, what happened to having a local Radio station that would play songs from our country from 1950 through early 2000s. Some of the best music ever made. It is a shame that they are letting it slip away. Daisy, 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!
David, I agree, he should have done this version years ago. That's why I love bluegrass music, it's just pure, clean, authentic roots music that stirs something in your soul.
Im a musician and I can assure you there are amplifiers and recording....Your observation is true in the sense that its great writing and very catchy without gimmicks
We did a prayer walk in the desert for peace and prosperity in this area and we also prayed for protection for the waters above ground and below the ground billions of dollars have been invested for the peace and prosperity and for the protection of the water above ground and below the ground it is wonderful what God has done
John is one of the most talented artists I have ever heard, his voice just fits the lyrics of this song and this instraments calaberation and storyline speaks volumes to our hearts held closely to the souls of those long ago,... John and his musical crew are highly valued in Country Music, I have respect for,...Thank you, Robert.... 😊 🇺🇸
Please watch the video and remember this is still going on to Native Americans. .whether dry land or the wet lands, hills ,mountains, valleys..desert..Some day this earth will all be ash but Today let us enjoy what we all have been blessed to have..too much has been stolen taken, destroyed,.Damaged.PEACE to you all 💖
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.
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!
I'm hoping AJ Lee and her band from CA get a version of this song. Her voice is fantastic and her mandolin skill is top quality. This is a great song. It is probably the best of John's work
Jesus light to my eyes a hope for old men with no country here and a new song with hands and fingers that move a little slow climbing trees and pushing back the leaves of the trees that I might look up to thee to see.
You know you are Country if this Song gets you Emotional!!!! Country Folks can Survive!!!! Amen Brother John, thank you and your Band for sharing!!!! Godspeed America.....
I'm about as non-country a listener as you can get (no offense meant; I actually do like some), but this song and artist get me right in the heart. This is as haunting and lovely as one could possibly want.
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
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.
"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. 😢
Every time I listen to Seminole Winds I feel like I'm with my grandmother which she was from the Everglades out there in Florida sometimes I feel she's just with me when I'm singing it maybe she's singing it with me from heaven
I'm totally shocked that some panty waist hasn't said "it's a violin". It could be a rubber band and that guy could still make it sound good. I love this version.
Lol, I also love Mr Anderson's grin in the beginning the second that fiddle started lashing out! It's almost like he was thinking... "Damn that boy is good!" 👍
Beautiful beautiful such talent thank you for your gift sharing makes me so grateful my grandfather was pure Seminole love this such good medicine truth to good music 🦅🪶🦅
As a Floridian this song means a lot to me . I have watched the Everglades destroyed , and it breaks my heart. Saw John in concert many years ago , the best concert ever
I'm 61 and have loved this song for many years. This is my favorite version! The beauty of the instruments and the truth of the words hit me slap in the heart. Thanks
The Violinist is a Rare Musician who can Transfer his feelings into Power and put that power out thru his Instrument. Vary Rare , Indeed. That is one Mean Strat- Probably a Stratavarius Violin. RH DSD
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! ;-)
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.
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.
You will not be forgotten. I have been listening to you for a year . The person who made the comment below meant well . Your music is wonderful for generations to come . I am new to the party .
I used to conjure up Seminole Wind when I rode my Harley down the John Anderson Parkway on my way to Daytona Bike week. What a beautiful ride and an even better song.
Thank you all for this updated version, you outdid yourself Mr. Anderson, not an easy thing to do with a true classic. Hauntingly vibrant and beautiful remake.
I've always said there's something in the water in Florida that produces exceptional artists like John Anderson , Tom Petty, Ronnie Van Zant and many others.
I've seen these changes, and the loss is incalculable. This song really is a tribute to what man has done, and continues to do. I pray that someday the land will heal.
my favorite version. Lorraine adds depth to the vocals, and the fiddle and banjo are great. I lived in Florida a long time, and I have seen the paving over of paradise.
I live in Inverness but lived in south Florida for some years but from Upstate NY and Inverness is still kinda of country. Couldn't ever live in a crowded place again.
I´m nor a fan of Country. but this is a masterpiece. John Anderson! The best Country musician ever. This song is pure gold. And this performnce is incredible... and what a violin player!
Never been farther south than Nebraska but my heart feels like I'm there. Montana country girl. Remember dancing on wood floors in a country kitchen. No indoor plumbing. Best of times.
I met John Anderson in person in West Palm Beach , Florida back in 2001 , he invited my family and I inside his tour bus after his performance. What a down to earth person. 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
In 1992 i was driving across Oklahoma to attend my Dad's funeral in Seiling Oklahoma this was playing on every country radio station I turned to. I love this song but it reminds me of the day I lost my Dad. RIP Dad I miss you.
Driving thru the panhandle late one night. Windows down, sunroof open, not another soul around. It was one of the spookiest times, ever. You could feel the sorrow.

Wonderful version
Anderson is a legend.
No synthesizers, amplifiers, voice boxes or Electronics...Just pure clean wonderful music
David, I agree, he should have done this version years ago. That's why I love bluegrass music, it's just pure, clean, authentic roots music that stirs something in your soul.
Kinda' reminds you of real music doesn't it. They don't much make it like this anymore.
Indeed...just strings & vocals.
Love this.
Im a musician and I can assure you there are amplifiers and recording....Your observation is true in the sense that its great writing and very catchy without gimmicks
false, if you have a good ear you can hear all the autotune here. still tons of talent. but your comment is a lie
How long have we cried for environmentalism! Our lands and water disappear like the Seminole wind!
I always get chills when I hear this song! 2019 who's with me!
Love his voice, 1 of my all time favorites!
Music is not what it was I love this
Listing to it in the everglades raises it to a whole new level
Love this song and his music except for swinging lol
Makes me proud of my home
This man will never be forgotten in the hills of Wv
Really is one of the best recordings of this song.
Maybe THE best

It’s sad that this was one of the last songs my dad ever heard.
Ya know when country legends are remember this man is sadly forgotten. Such an amazing singer song writer. A legend all on his own!!!
And Florida's own!

Agree 100%
Joseph Rotello I agree
l concur ~
He still has control of his voice...well done...must be southern weather which keeps the vocal chords in good shape.
I agree.
I met the guy who wrote this song! Great one
This song is beloved to any Native American!
Definitely one of his best,mine also thank you John. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh, boy, the fiddle player's on fire! These folks are first class!
This fiddle player has to be one of the best I've ever seen.......hands down. Anybody know who he is ?
Gary Martin his name is Josh Goforth. I went to college with him at ETSU. Great musician. Can play any instrument. He’s just as great of a guy!
Lovely
I'm totally shocked that some panty waist hasn't said "it's a violin". It could be a rubber band and that guy could still make it sound good. I love this version.
That guy sounds perfect for this song!
It doesn't get any better than John Anderson singing Seminole Wind!!!
OH WE STILL LISTEN TO THIS JOHN, don't think we don't!!!!
Lol, I also love Mr Anderson's grin in the beginning the second that fiddle started lashing out! It's almost like he was thinking... "Damn that boy is good!" 👍
I agree!!!
I thought the exact same thing. Great version.
Seminole Wind is a song that Captures the Heart of America.
What a shame this talent is hidden behind the trash on radio today.
Crazy how he still sounds so good!
Beautiful beautiful such talent thank you for your gift sharing makes me so grateful my grandfather was pure Seminole love this such good medicine truth to good music 🦅🪶🦅

Proud Arizonan here...This is one of those songs that transcends Geography and makes you feel like a Floridian for just a moment.
Hard to Not hit replay more than once on this version . 🙂👍
Love Carolina Road; authentic Carolina country music like we used to hear on porches on Friday nights when I was a little kid.
brilliant song brilliant artist --- truly eternal --- Thankyou John !!!
John Anderson rules. I saw him on his first tour back in the day

That is a heck of a song that makes you feel the words. John Anderson hasn't missed a beat!
Classic John Anderson
Sad a bit, but happy to see them again too !
Such a classic and beautiful song like no other
Such a beautiful song but came out when my father in law was passing from cancer. It reminds me of him.

My mother is a voice teacher. Very high-end, very classical. She adores Anderson because he gets this delightful sound and it follows no rules at all.
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform this live.
Hello how are you doing..??
This performance is absolutely worthy of an award winner !!

Yes John Anderson. Love your message and your singing. Adds a sweet sound with Lorraine and Carolina Road.
In 1992 i was driving across Oklahoma to attend my Dad's funeral in Seiling Oklahoma this was playing on every country radio station I turned to.
I love this song but it reminds me of the day I lost my Dad.
RIP Dad I miss you.
This song and John singing it is sooo haunting...takes me back many years...
Yes sir! It sure does ☺
They don't make em like that no more. Song applies to just about everything these days. Glad I got to live to hear this stringed symphony.
What the hell.
Speak English for fucks sake.
Bluegrass Seminole Wind ... love this!

Bluegrass makes everything better. :)
Driving thru the panhandle late one night. Windows down, sunroof open, not another soul around. It was one of the spookiest times, ever. You could feel the sorrow.
