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 ...
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!

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.
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
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 💖
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
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 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!!!
THIS! Is real music, performed by real musicians in complete harmony with each other and their instruments! Should be a law! Everyone is wearing clothes, no crotch grabbers jumping each other....just saying....
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.
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!
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 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. 😢
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
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'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.
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.
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 🦅🪶🦅
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'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.

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
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'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
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 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.
My Babygirl loves this song. She’s 29 now, I used to sing to her she was little. She still loves it as much as I do. Love John. He always has an voice. Love the fiddle in this. Thank you for sharing this awesome video and God Bless 🙏🏽♥️🎻♥️
Jim Chumley Trumplethinskin will be the first to go!!! The NRA made him their bitch with just a few coins of gold soooooooo we all will pay the price of military weapons being available for all to use or misuse!!!
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.

I think most native Americans can feel with this song 🎵

How long have we cried for environmentalism! Our lands and water disappear like the Seminole wind!
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
This is country not the crap that their producing now.

I heard a county star rapping on his song.
This is not bluegrass?
Internet grammar police is still alive. Brilliant song.
@@gdiaz8827 no it's country played with bluegrass instruments
Fantastic song by John Anderson and Company, beautiful story. He is a favorite! 👍🏻
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

Not forgotten by me ☺
I start my day with this man singing that song and go to sleep with him singing
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.
We are still waiting for our Gila River to run again 😔~~~~~
all who love life and respect it should have a warm place in their heart from the words of this song
And here I have choctaw and Cherokee in my family

One of a kind voice. No mistaken Johns voice! Sounds as good as he ever did.
The new crap they're peddling as "country" is made by a bunch of Marxist fairies more at home in Hollywood than out in the country.
@@KowboyUSA Don’t forget Florida Georgia Line is a place George Jones stopped to take a leak.

John... frankly this is more a beautiful tune then even your '92 version. Well done, sir, well done.
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.
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.
OH WE STILL LISTEN TO THIS JOHN, don't think we don't!!!!
What a shame this talent is hidden behind the trash on radio today.
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
Great fiddler and everyone else is great too- great song
John Anderson sounds every bit as good now as he did 30-40 years ago! This is one of my favorite songs.
Beautiful song, the vocals and violin set it off.
It doesn't get any better than John Anderson singing Seminole Wind!!!
So beautiful
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.

Seminole Wind is a song that Captures the Heart of America.
My uncle was Tom Torrez in Delano CA93215 and his cousin was Chieftain of the Simonole Tribes in Canada. He died early in Omaha Nebraska.
Hello how are you doing today??
God bless John Anderson and Carolina Road. This is amazing.
Im still here and love your music keep playing
Hello how are you doing??
A true legend of country music 🎶.
This is the best video of all them.....that fiddle...wow....and that lady in the background. Nice
THIS is what I'm talking about.....perfectly rendered version of an incredible song.
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
She is 😊
Hard to Not hit replay more than once on this version . 🙂👍

A great country song
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.
