This family is FABULOUS, they will reach the top with so much talent! Most modern groups are rubbish, but this is really fantastic! I love to watch all their video’s.
Excellent version. Every member of the group was outstanding, especially the drummer. She was hypnotic, mesmerizing, and satisfying. Not just her bouncing su-su, either. I had to watch the video a few times before I noticed there were other members. She's top quality, but I'm trying to figure out why she is playing side-saddle. I'm not a drummer, so hear me out. Was it because she was wearing a dress? Or a different drumming style?
Hey. We talked to you before the show last Friday in Clarksdale. Couple from Oregon. Just wanted to tell you we enjoyed the show. Left at 9. Had to get back to Oxford. We caught a flight the next morning. Anyway good job. Your rhythm section was right there, held it down. Until next time God bless
Oh my God, I’m telling all y’all out there. If you’ve never seen this man live you don’t know what you’re missing. Any musicians he gets playing with him every time it’s just phenomenal. Never does a version of this song the same way ever I forget the girls name who is playing the drums but let me tell you something, she is doing more with less than all these rock ‘n’ roll eagle maniac drummers who have a ton of Tom’s symbols double base all that BS and I am a bass player and what this lady was laying down as a groove and just killing it blew me out of my chair if anybody remembers her nameplease let me know but Dave Alvin is one bad mofo very underrated but if you ever get a chance to see him live, you will not be disappointed
Super ces zicos, tous des très grand, mais alors le public qui tape dans les mains comme des demeurés, c’est symptomatique que ça va pas la haut, aucun respect pour le rythme.
23 years ago, I was 20. I’d just lost the battle for my brother to the institution of the state psych hospital. I had cancer and could not save him. I was newly and quickly married to a man 26 years my senior and his 8 year old daughter without her Mom. I thought I could help. I could barley stand the pain in my body, but thought I’d try the best I could to do with her what hadn’t been done for me. Seemed the best choice for the time I had. I was still durable. I had Dylan, The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, Ray Charles, Howlin Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, Lightning Hopkins, and a radio station called KPIG with some old time clever DJs. Ramblin Roar was hosting a set. It was time for me to do my domestic duties of house cleaning. I was alone. I couldn’t smile for myself. All I could do was try to feel connected to a young world I didn’t understand. I was scrubbing the toilet when from the speaker I heard something that stunned me. I felt it in my veins, beyond the cancer. Better than anything I’d ever known. This music wasn’t rock n roll it wasn’t folk it wasn’t the Blues. It was like classical on fire in the soil of the land and my guts. Then Dave’s voice came through like roots for the spaces between. I stopped what I was doing and layed down on the cold hard clay floor. The song went on and the rendition was LIVE. In those 10 minutes I do believe my life was saved. I went straight down to the record store on Pacific St in Santa Cruz and bought every Dave Alvin record they sold. Thank you for sharing yourself. I am determined to carry on and share the meaning of the music, loud and light or soft and heavy. I’ll be there, reaching out to the kid younger than me. And that’s how we all keep on rolling. Thanks for sharing, Dave and Family.
La batterista suona in un modo quasi animalesco, istintivo... sarà anche semplice ma il suo modo di suonare è fantastico. The drummer plays in an almost animalistic, instinctive way... she may be simple but her playing is fantastic.
