Damn. I liked him. Younger than me. Seminole Wind is a great piece of work.

Godspeed John. I love to sing your songs driving down a dirt road in a pickup truck.

That fiddle just cuts through to the bone.

I will never not turn the volume up until it hurts any time Seminole Wind comes on the radio.

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

A song he put out in 2020.

Seminole Wind is a Seminal song.

RIP.

Ah, he's so good. Seminole Wind is a great conservation song through and through. He's got many many more songs that are some of my favorite country tunes. RIP

 

[Southern Elk]

Seminole Wind is one of the best country songs ever written. This is my favorite song of his, because it’s about my home state.

20 years ago I worked for a guy that did a couple bass fishing tournaments with John Anderson. I think I was kind of skeptical of his claim, so the next day at work he brought a bunch of photos of him and John fishing together.

I honestly only know a handful of John Anderson songs, and everyone knows and above has mentioned Seminole Wind. That song is an obituary for a place and time - neither of which I ever experienced - and yet through the magic of art his song makes my heart thump a little different when I absorb it.

I find this live version to be moving as hell. It was 8 years ago, but here in his mid 60s he's still so damn talented and soulful. Thanks for the music.
