Lunacy What The Hell Are You Listening To?

Dunno why but I have loved this song since I was a boy

 
Mississippi John Hurt's guitar styling was like no other. He play's in an almost syncopated style :thumbsup: .



Check out Elmore James slide work, too fucking smooth .




And IMO the very best version even though Elmore James wrote and originally released it (and you got to give props to the artist that created it). But, I think the Paul Butterfield Blues Band nailed it. And I'm pretty sure that's the doomed Mike Bloomfield on the slide guitar.

One more for the blues , Little Walter on vocals and harp.


Fucking love it. Forgot about Little Walter. Now on my buy list!!

Same song covered by the Coasters....but I like Little Walter better! :-)
 

And just where do you find a song with a white gal with a southern accent playing the blues on a Hawaiian guitar? Wonderful stuff.
 

I saw Johnny Winter at Painter's Mill Music Fair (it was a venue) in...oh, '71. His white hair was down to his utterly white ass. Man didn't have a bit of melanin in him.

Great concert. Everybody played Painter's Mill and it was this small, in the round, venue in the Baltimore suburbs. A good friend of mine's much older cousin owned Tree Frog Productions that brought most of the rock acts to that venue....but he never would give us free tickets! haha

 
@bulllee - another thing about the Little Walter tune....listen to this gospel song and you will see the exact same rhythm, I believe. This is not criticism of Walter...all blues, R&B, Soul, and gospel share some very big roots and in particular rhythmic beats.

When I heard the Walter tune you posted I started racking my head for why I thought I knew that song...well, I didn't. I was thinking of this one, This Train i(s Bound for Glory). I'm still not sure who I had heard do this song in the far past...but perhaps it was the Weavers or similar that my mother used to play on the HiFi (that's right, one speaker haha) when she cleaned the house.



 
So much great music in this thread . . . Seen some love earlier for Donald Fagen, soooooo lets take a walk between the raindrops . ..

I love this vid...not sure, maybe I posted it before...I can't remember so maybe you won't also? haha

Personally, I think the tractor is the real talent of the group. Def the front man and I like that they gave the tractor a solo. LOL

 
These kids today...

Just great...but I particularly love that little girl on bass...can she reach the tuning pegs? haha She's rocking back and forth with that big bass and I was waiting to see it just knock her little self over. Very cool.
