Blind Willie McTell is probably the east coast's most renowned early blues musician. He's local to my area so I wanted to do a video on him and do a version of Statesboro blues. Josh Martin is helping me on an antique parlor guitar. Very special thanks to Lewis Smith and the McDuffie County Museum. Mr Smith showed us all sorts of fascinating items in the museum including some of James Brown's suits from the 60's.

This was great! I’d love to see more biographies, it’s a great way to teach the history of blues

@uncommonsensewithpastormar2913 2 года назад

Thanx so much for keeping bluesmen like Blind Willie McTell still known and imitated today. His 12 string, Piemonte style is truly unique.

@gregborneman5523 2 года назад

Thanks for this nice tribute to Blind Willie. He is remembered and appreciated here in Georgia.

@nellymoriarty_5783 2 года назад

Gregg Allman is too, I'm sure he knew this great Georgian

You have one of the best channels on RU-vid…absolutely love your stuff…you should have been a teacher….

@lowellcalavera6045 2 года назад

This is great stuff to impart. Got “Last Session” on vinyl, back in the 80s. It still gets played regularly. Great vid. One thing I’d add, he did lots of non-blues stuff, basically playing to his audience.His version of “Wabash Cannonball” is remarkable.

Great tribute to Blind Willie, he had the beat of the piedmont, but also the darkness of the Delta. Your channel is amazing, I enjoy it very much. Im from Argentina, sorry for my english if its not perfect

Ed this was fantastic, but I love history. Maybe consider doing more of these. Thanks again for sharing.

@Philo68 2 года назад

Informative, respectful and very well done Edward. What an amazing collection at the museum - shame about the guitar fiasco. They’d be mad not to have you play at the ‘Blind Willie Festival’ Edward - particularly after this performance! Thumbs up to Martin for backing you up on this great performance.

A fascinating insight into the history of the blues. Thanks for taking the time to share and keep the history alive.

@rosafalls8068 2 года назад

Nice. Love hearing about blind bards. Homer, author of the ancient Odyssey was also a blind bard. Thanks.

@harigeorgeson5885 2 года назад

This is really well done. And the outdoor performance on 12-string and parlor guitar terrific. I’m NW of Atlanta so one day I’ll make a pilgrimage down to McDuffie Co.

A very interesting and well made video. Although most of the time people like Blind Willie seem so distant and from such a different age, as one gets older one realises it's not so. Blind Willie only started recording about 30 years before I was born in the early '60s! 30 years doesn't seem like so long to me anymore.

@timwilkson7637 2 года назад

This was a very good video as usual Edward! I really enjoy your work and finding facts about all these great guys & gals from the past. You and your friend do a mighty fine job on the Statesboro Blues...I think it is one if the best versions I've ever heard! Blind Willie would agree! Keep this stuff coming, you are the right guy to tell these stories and give perspective!😎👍🇺🇸

@nellymoriarty_5783 2 года назад

So glad you share such history with us 😊💕

@Apostolin0 2 года назад

Awesome stuff as always Ed! Consider uploading the cover on it's own, so that we can add it in our blues playlists!

@groverbaker6404 2 года назад

Thank goodness for the legacy 2 cd anthology..and the last sessions lp!! And of course the Allmans and early Fleetwood

@sapelesteve 2 года назад

Man that was over the top fantastic Edward! I never knew that he wrote Statesboro Blues. We all know that the Allman Brothers version is one of the best songs ever recorded in the history of rock. Thanks so much for doing this video & I hope that you are doing well & staying safe! 👏👏👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸

@nellymoriarty_5783 2 года назад

I'm sure Gregg Allman knew who wrote it, after all he introduced Duane to black blues slide and he became one of the best too, in much demand everyone to play with Duane Allman Thanks Gregg

@Manandmachine772 2 года назад

I have never heard the original Statesboro Blues. I like this better. :-)

@nellymoriarty_5783 2 года назад

I think Allman Brothers best American Band ever, & I pick theirs as best

@sirhilaryflange 2 года назад

Fantastic stuff Edward really great video, anyone who’s into early blues and country blues check out Buffalo Nichols, his 2021 self titled album is superb, the guy just has that thing, the voice the songs and certainly the guitar chops, again thanks Edward 👍

Thanks so much for the blues history lesson. Fascinating. I saw Taj Mahal perform Statesboro Blues live. Still my favorite version but Edward yours is right up there!

@gregborneman5523 2 года назад

Trivia fact: There is only one city or town in the US named Statesboro. My daughter went to school there at Georgia Southern University.

@ianthebastard8128 2 года назад

@jimchumley2982 2 года назад

I'm also a really big fan of Blind Willie Johnson too.

@sixstringsaway7642 2 года назад

There another really good documentary on blind Willie that’s over or around an hour long you would like the listen just RU-vid it

@lowellcalavera6045 2 года назад

The Blind Willie “expert” is a little off. Very polite of Edward to not school him.

At the end were you playing an Oscar Schmidt 12 string? I just got one I was like his looks pretty familiar. I got mine bc of Leadbelly! Got it last week haven't put it down. There's nothing heavier. Now I'm researching BWM. One of the heaviest of his time period.
