My buddy, Richie, passed away last Thursday, after his battle with Pancreatic cancer. I hadn’t seen him, face to face, in many years, but I talked to him, on the phone, every week. Every time we talked, he talked about coming out to California-to see the Redwoods with the wife and I. I mistakenly thought we had more time. Never take a moment, for granted, as you’re never promised tomorrow. I miss you, brother. I’ll see you, when I get there. ❤️ Tank

I would constantly replay this song on the CD player when I was a little kid. It brings back all the memories. I love how music is the most amazing thing in the world - it can transport us to realms we forgot we held, it can overcome us with emotion, it can help keep us sane.

I remember listening to this song in the radio when I was at least 6 or 7, my family and I were in the car heading to LA and I remember clearly the snowy mountains next to the freeway as the song played and I sang along not knowing that after 18 years later , I have forgotten and knew nothing about the title, my husband would find the song in a random meme and I just happened to over hear it and decided to search for it. Now going through anxiety and depression and reading the lyrics as I listened to it again made me tear. Who would've thought that this song could have destined for me to find it after all these years just to know that it relates to what Im going through now and as for the person this song is meant to be dedicated to, I'm grateful to have someone who tries his best to support me just so he can see me smile and enjoy the little to big things in life and I couldn't be more grateful of him, and that someone is my husband.

"Drift Away" is a classic rock song originally written and recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. It has been covered by numerous artists over the years, but one of the most popular versions is by Uncle Kracker. Uncle Kracker's version of "Drift Away" was released in 2003 as a single from his album "No Stranger to Shame". The song features a smooth, laid-back melody and Uncle Kracker's signature raspy vocals. It quickly became a hit, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earning a gold certification from the RIAA. The song's message of wanting to escape the stresses of life and just "drift away" has resonated with listeners for decades. Its catchy chorus and memorable lyrics make it a favorite for sing-alongs and easy listening radio stations. Despite the success of "Drift Away", Uncle Kracker has stated in interviews that he never intended to become a solo artist. He was originally a DJ for Kid Rock's band, but started writing his own music during downtime on tour. "Drift Away" was just one of the songs he recorded and it ended up launching his solo career. The song has been covered by many other artists over the years, including Dobie Gray, who originally recorded it in 1973, and Rod Stewart. It has also been featured in several movies and TV shows, such as "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Scrubs". Overall, "Drift Away" has become a timeless classic that continues to be enjoyed by music fans of all ages.

@@dansharp3092 Indeed, "Drift Away" was written by Mentor Williams and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. The version by Dobie Gray, released in 1973, became the more widely recognized and successful rendition, and it's likely this version that inspired Uncle Kracker's cover in 2003. The song's enduring popularity across various interpretations underscores its timeless quality and ability to resonate with different generations of listeners. Each artist brings their own style and flavor to the song, contributing to its rich history in the world of popular music. Thank you for providing additional details about the origins of "Drift Away."

My dad was a bit of a racist but he loved black music. He had approximately around 400 LP's and a quarter of them were black artists. When he wanted to jam those were the ones he played. I was blessed to hear some of these songs as a kid born in '72. I grew up listening to Motown in a small city in Michigan. I never agreed with his politics but damn....he knew good music.

Word! This song is one of my favorite ever made. I gotta say, I actually like this cover more than the original. Not many covers have been released that I can say the same for. Don't get me wrong, Doobie Gray's original make of this song is great, of course. That being said, so grateful Uncle Kracker gave more life to this song. So many great songs have died along with their generations. I have much love and respect and so much appreciation for bands brave enough to cover legendary tracks, such as this one.
