Bukka White with Howlin' Wolf: World Boogie (1966) 

absolutely true. this is where the value is

Tommy Petraglia ...........with added lemon!

I am purple antelope... My soul is gold. We all feel the blues and we express it in different ways. I love this genre amongs many other

I mean I don't think he was exactly a good guy behind closed doors if you actually listen to what he talks about in his music and hear about the crime he has done, but nevertheless I think of him like a outlaw guitarist from back in the day, he's phenomenal

Glad you love this. If you're new to the genre I higlly recommand Charley Patton and the early recordings of John Lee hooker (from 1953 iirc)

In the howlin wolf documentary everyone was saying how rare and awesome this was.. it was a throwback to the juke joints days from the early 30s

One of heroes was son house! But later son became a heavy drunk and the wolf didn't like what he became and told son house in one of his performances to his face.

@@ninjavigilante5311 Wolf's idol was Charlie Patton, that's a whole universe of sound.

Rev Pearly Brown

Skip James is mine...

... Blind Willie McTell has entered the chat.

They were all amazing

Howling my #1 but Booker and Blind Willie Johnson are right there for me.

Mississippi Fred McDowell Elmore James, Lightnin' Hopkins & the unsung great Junior Kimbrough. 🔥

Been trying to sound like him & Howlin Wolf , now i sound like Kermit the frog....😩

Here’s my approach: I try to sound like Bukka’s cousin - BB King, then sound like Bukka. 😂BTW, I can sound like Bukka, but Howlin Woulf is so much tougher.

Thank you - we forgot to include Christine Brown, Pearly's wife.

Seems we are on the same wavelength when it comes these blues.

Don't think so - pretty sure he's playing in open D or E here (Vestapol tuning)

Thanks!!

Crossnote tuning DADFAD

I've read in a number of places that he tuned his guitar to an open E minor chord shape; I haven't checked but I suspexct that he tuned it lower - to D minor.

I love Roots Reggae, Nyahbingi, and the Blues. I have to agree with you.

I thought he was great and it's clear Bukka like it or he would have told him to stop, are you ignorant, that's what folk music is all about. I believe this was filmed at the house in Newport where the musicians stayed during the Folk Festival. Bukka was backed by Washboard Sam on many of his 1930's recordings and Bukka asked me once whatever happened to him, of course I had no idea, he apparently just disappeared. Bukka had a sweet inner child, his nose was broken in a prize fight in Indiana during the Depression. As everyone knows, Booker T. Washington White was BB King's older cousin and helped BB get his start in music in Memphis.

"That guy" was Kilby Snow, an enormously respected Appalachian musician who performed at the festival. And that "whatever" is an autoharp turned over backwards. It was a party not a stage concert, so let folks get happy.

Pfff That guy is kilby snow probably the best auto harp player to ever have lived .. read up on him and don’t judge much if you don’t know

Autoharp master Kilby Snow

Sounds ok to me

confidence ignorance

Basically the drums
