The audio in this video is actually is actually pretty bad. One can hear the music & singing well enough; but, Son House's speaking voice is so low with audio quality so poor that it's next to impossible to understand fully what he is saying.
This is after the early record a day stuff, 60s and after the hippie stuff, after a long life and we all saw Les's film on lightnin'. Just a regular supermojo hero at home getting down on the whole town a little high, dark in the blues. Im happy to hear this, didnt know it existed. Just got a fresh crop of blues from the record store - got some old fat possum compilations about chicago and everyone with blind in their name
I love this guys voice. So unique. Also a great musician, guitar or harp, surrounded by other great musicians. Had never heard of him but watched Cadillac Records yesterday, and he has been playing in my house the last 24 hours, especially Smokestack Lightnin 🐺
I am 77 years old but 25 in my heart. I remember some of these songs when I danced with my husband. He would be 100 years old this year. I miss him but I have wonderful memories.
Saw this band here in Portland Oregon in 83 or 84 at a place called Key Largo. Buddy Guy walked the club with his long lead and stopped right in front of me and wailed that guitar and Junior called out “ who said that” and that’s “n…ergish music “. After I shouted out Snatch it back as a request. He did actually launch into Papas got a brand new bag though! Scared me😅
Wolf did know to manage a band. A special hello for Hubert Sumlin Saw him once with Buddy Guy, and here I could hear how special, unique he was, when Buddy gave the best of himself, and you know what I talking about. Oh, Fred Below on drums, and a fantastic bass player. Was it a dream?
Does anyone know anything about the "Jam" at the end? It most certainly is a version of Bobby Bland's "Turn on Your Love Light". It doesn't sound like its from the same tape. I suppose its a possibility that his backing band played it at some point during the six sets at Tramps, but would love to know if anyone has any more information.
I am Mexican.First time o hear the blues I was 13 years old in Mexico City and I fall in love for this beautiful music since then.And I have the privilege to see all this guys in concert 2 years on the road in the Auditorium National of Mexico City.Muddy waters, John lee hoker , B B king , Coco Taylor , Sonny Terry and Browny Mc guee , Sony Boy Williamson , and many more.That was in 1979 and 1981.Thank God for let me be witness of this event in my life.
They didn't get swept under the rug, the exposure wasn't nearly the same back in the day. Regardless, its Amazing, but drop the virtue signaling. Trust me, lightning would tell you to fudge off with that, that's a guarantee. One love.
He was playing in Clarksdale Miss in the late 80's. He was just Setting out side a old store that was built in the early 1900's. There was a few people around listening to him and then word got out he was playing guitar. Cars came from every where to see him and hear him sing and guitar.
The title of the 2nd song is Don't Laugh At Me. The title of the 3rd song is Howling For My Darling. The title of the last song is Pop It To Me. Thanks for the upload !
Stab your finger at all those c**ts. Life is never meant to be unhappy. But now we have Trump Putin Sunak. All weak men. We have this great artist.praise the arts and damn the dark arts of inadequate men and women who want to rise off our backs. This man tells you.
And furthermore I grew up listening to Clapton (I remember exactly when I was the first time I walked in to his talent). I also saw Hendrix and all those great 60s bands, but yes I learned so much from Lighting. As a friend of mine said keep it tasteful. As a footnote, Peter Green. Saw Fleetwood once in a pub The Swan in Crystal Palace south London, UK y’all. I left with my ears ringing.
