I heard this on the radio the other day and marvelled at how great it sounded 50 years later, and what a shame it was we missed more of what might have been.
You never know what you're going to see/hear when you click on songs like this especially. So many people murder it, including professional musicians... I hesitated. Anyway, I'm glad I clicked on this. It's amazing. Not too much, not too little, just perfect. The perfect tribute to Skynard.
Beautifully done, this is what a cover should be. Certain subtle differences that separate it from the original, but enough of the core to be unmistakable. Well done good sir!
Great performance, thank you River Crombie for your interpretation of such a beautiful song by Lynyrd Skynyrd: Simple Man. Great Voice, great acoustic guitar playing and I will recommend it to all my friends.
I chose this song for my son. I was scared play in the video all the pros music was blowing all over and he helped them he was my helper😢😢😢 there's nothing more painful ever ever then losing a child.. other than they buried him without me😢😢😢😢😢 some people will burn in hell
@@LetArtsLive Don't try to get over it. Go through the grief. It will slowly get less and less. It's pretty much the worst loss anyone can experience in life and it's recent. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take it a day at a time. When you need to cry about it let yourself cry. Don't hold that stuff in or it will destroy you. Hopefully you've got friends or family that are there for you too. Seeing a grief counselor can be a good idea too. Everything helps a little bit. And keep playing that guitar. Sorry for your loss. This life hammers us all in one way or another. No one escapes it.
An untouchable rendition. Your vocals were also very well done. I love the way you kept the song its own but also put your own touch in it. I'm very glad I watched and listened to your video today, thank you for sharing with us. I'll be looking at more of your music.
I traveled with local talent, always thriving to be better. Many of nights around a campfire with friends. Pure talent and no auto tune. Sounding good river.
This is such a beautiful rendition of SImple Man. I am sitting here in the workshop office on a Sunday with all grey outside the window and you just made the sun shine in my heart 🙂
I always thought shinedown's acoustic cover was the best out there but this one is a close second. Your version is great man, like you were born to play it
Absolutely beautiful. Good stuff. I live in Jacksonville Florida on the same street that Ronnie Vanzant grew up on. As a Florida native it makes me proud that so many great musicians originated from my beloved state
Simple Man is now available on Spotify and all other streaming platforms: open.spotify.com/track/5MMPHXaJmVmok7rhQ6vHiW?si=bfJTOV11R0mqiG_fnWRwDQ
No computer, no backing track, no amp, no pedals, no autotune, JUST PURE MUSIC, FULL OF SOUL. Thanks bro. Awesome!
it's real music from the depths of the soul
This song reminds me to slow down and take notice to the world around me and cherish the good things.

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS THAT'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN RIP RONNIE'S
It's funny how a simple song can be one of the greatest.
Like a simple kind of song ?
Hahaha yeah it is brilliant and well done by this fine gentleman
Because beauty is in simplicity.
Who doesn’t learn this picking sequence when learning the guitar? One of the simplest yet one of the greatest.
And can be so challenging
You can play it on guitar?
Great, just bloody great !
Your voice was made for this song. Well done.
Amazing performance ! Thank you so much 😊
Greetings from Austria
Thank you too! Greetings from Northern Germany :)
I'd love to sit around a campfire and listen to River play💯

This is the best sounding Maton guitar I've ever heard on you tube.
It sounds great with those new strings for sure
@@tylerhurd9569 not sure they are new. seems to me they are perfectly old
It’s not often that I have covers on my playlist over the original but this man’s voice never mind guitar skills are so spot on.
Such a deep and meaningful song that comes right from the heart !
Beautifully done, this is what a cover should be. Certain subtle differences that separate it from the original, but enough of the core to be unmistakable. Well done good sir!
So well stated dude. He’s quite a talent!
This was amazing...Super heartfelt performance.....Love it..
Never gets Old!!! The best captivation and passion of a song!!
The talent that’s out there we never hear. Amazing.
Great performance, thank you River Crombie for your interpretation of such a beautiful song by Lynyrd Skynyrd: Simple Man. Great Voice, great acoustic guitar playing and I will recommend it to all my friends.
