she is great... the 230,000 views on you tube are a testament to her appeal. I am glad y'all like it. I saw her three times this year, The most recent was at the White Mountain Boogie and Blues Festival in Thornton, NH. She did "Spell on You" there plus songs from her new CD Black Wind Howlin. If you truly like her music please do yourself a favor and pick up some music either on ITUNES, Amazon, or visit your local music store.
Mark Notell It's the blonde in a mini skirt that encourages most views Mark. Great voice, average playing. Another female player with a similar image would improve the music quality & be a bit different.
Gazz Dean I wouldn't say it's just that, non shredding doesn't mean average playing, sorry. I'd listen to this a million times rather than boring jackoffs like yngwie, satriani and/or vai
Thank god for RU-vid, this little girl can tear.it.up! I would never have heard of her if I hadn't been on here. She is one of the best I have ever heard.
watched this many times. Still blows me away. Best performance, great music. Samantha just has to come to Canada and blow them out of the water in the blues rock clubs. Excellent, can't say more. I may create a huge blues fest here in Canada, just to hear Samantha live.
+Mark Notell Thanks--The comments were just for that idiots benefit. I'm really impress with Samantha Fish. Saw her first on FB. Thanks for your posting.
Her studio music is pedestrian, but her live performances and her jam sessions are ... they're thermonuclear weapons of pure soul and talent. I'd probably never buy a record from her unless it was from a live performance. Looks gorgeous too. Somehow when she gets really into the vocals and distorts her face up, that ugliness makes her even more amazing. Maybe because it shows her grit, her soul and how she abandons herself to the music. Divine. If there was such a thing as an "Angel of Blues" it would Samantha Fish.
Wow this video has now been shared by the very popular Canadian group Walk Off of the Earth on Facebook. In less than a week that facebook share has over 3.5 MILLION views OMG... Plus the 952,000 here on RU-vid. Incredible talent !!!!!
Very good stuff, she deserves points for even trying this song. I was frightened off after my 3rd listening of the original. Hawkins was a blues singer who was also an opera singer. His goes from blues to opera and back with a lot shouting in between. He was so drunk at the time that he didn't even remember recording the song.
+Mark Notell of course it sounds satirical! It is a proto shock rock song created to...well shock people. Hawkins role played the role of the mumbling, rapist, voodoo believer drunkard black man to freak out conservatives!
Good,golly,miss Molly,she gives me chills,awesome,her voice,the guitar,the drums,she is unbelievable,she almost sings this acapella,and she is great!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile I sit here in front of this video, eyes popping out my damn head like a looney tune, whilst I pour cold glasses of water over myself to the soundtrack of old vintage car horns (AHOOGA!!!)
Mark I've absolutely adore this and Samantha fish and live performances looking forward to.seeing Samantha back in the UK October 2022 I have tickets for 7 shows so I'm ready to go I saw her twice last time round in the UK she signed some stuff for me back then! She is a special girl for sure 😎😎
Really don't get how anyone could vote this down. Samantha is channeling some higher power and has the talent and skills to present it to us mere mortals in a way we can understand it.
