Break My Mind by composer John D. Loudermilk

[SteveChrist1]

Excellent. I felt as if I was in his living room with the aroma of coffe and beans wafting through.the bars. lol.

[Jm01394]

I always liked this tune

[bulbheadmyass]

What a treat to see him do this song.

This is, I think, my favorite thing on the internet. Wonderful performance.

Actually, this performance "feels" like Dylan doing Don't Think Twice.

Just great.

This is, I think, my favorite thing on the internet. Wonderful performance.

Classic Legendary Awesome. I'm so elated to hear his own personal interpretation.

Glad you were able to do it. After having been a fan of JDL's for a long time, I recall tuning into a singer on, I believe, the Nashville music channel. I didnt know who he was but was thinking, this guy is GREAT! Turned out it was JDL doing a song quite awhile after his 'fame' years. Would love to be able to see that clip dug up-it was awesome!

[prinecash]

When was this video taped? Last i heard John was in Durham, NC? Thanks for the posting--awesome.

@prinecash

No video of this commercially available. I've posted it with the help of the Loudermilk family.

[mickm21x]

I really like him :) Great composer.

[RolloffDeBunk]

An amazing piece of musical history. Than you!

[thallassocracy]

Loudermilk was probably the first mass-appeal artist to start using lyrics that needed to be listened to.

Bob Dylan owes more to him than he usually admits.

go uncle john! <3 you!

[bulbheadmyass]

What a treat to John D. himself performing this great song, and his antics are so funny. Thanks for posting this gem.

I found out about this song from the Box Tops' version. I love this song.

[emdee777]

[marge3931]

[Kilty1000]

Does anyone have this by Anne Murray? I would love to hear it again.

[ruok9c]

Me too, I haven't heard the Anne Murray version in years.

[Kilty1000]

Funny how your memory is but I got it on itunes and found it way too fast!

[ruok9c]

Hahaha, it never occured to me that I could get it on iTunes although I've purchased other music from there before. I thought I'd find the track here on YouTube.

[algywatt]

Best way to describe Johns' many talents is to refer to him as a Master Musician...I've been collecting his music since the 50's.

[racehorselady]

I loved it until hre got to the stalling part. I actually looked up the song because I loved it many years ago.

Who actually recorded it ?so

[mogamex50]

A great songwriter.

[theblindjogger]

Very cool... someone load up Gram Parsons singing this and I'll be your best friend

[oldster72]

This is a great song by a talented composer and singer! It's what classic country music is all about. I loved it!
