I've been a musician virtually my whole life ( I started playing drums when I was 4 years old). I've played around the world and recorded in Nashville, worked with many famous musicians and toured the US from coast to coast. The one thing that I have found in my many years in the business, is that for every artists that makes it big, there are hundreds, even thousands, who are just as good and even better, that never get discovered, and are never heard about by the general public.
The difference here... this was a crime against humanity..... The greed bigotry and coward ness that hid this from tge world deserves no less than his own name erased from history
I cannot understand how talent like Joanna Connors does not get the recognition she deserves WHAT A TALENT now I have found her never going to her go !!!
Because, unlike Samantha Fish, Ana Popovich, Orianthi, etc., she lacks their sex appeal but is an authentic blues woman. I would love to have seen her and SRV on the same stage. I think he would give her, due respect
@@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426 I have to agree with you and the reverse is also true, if a woman guitar player is sexy she will get lots of gigs even if she is barely capable I am 65 and I will say that this is true all over the world for example thanks to covid I have not been to a gym in three yrs and I have gained weight , and my own self image, has been damaged by the weight I have gained and the muscle I have lost I do not even want to go out to be seen and judged negatively in public thank god for youtube where I can enjoy the great blues players of the world in the safety of my own room without people's negativity
I have watched so many of her videos. My amazement increases, Chicago's crown jewel. Joanna Connor is indisputably the best guitarist that ever breathed in the history of humanity. Tell me I'm wrong.
Joanna Connor is one of the best Slide Guitar players ever. On this video she takes a little break from her slide playing to play some regular old Rock/Blues by Hendrix via Clapton. She has always been great. She used to be a skinny young blues player who returned as a middle aged mother. No one cares what she may be once she starts playing and singing. And she may be the best blues musician alive. You have to listen to her slide.
Wait for it... I thought it was a bit off at first, listening through crappy phone speakers. I grabbed my Beats and gave it another go. Holy crap! I haven’t checked yet, maybe tuned different, but damn. She hit every emotion and syllable she meant with that guitar, and I felt privileged to hear it. Bravo! That is freakin talent and it’s a travesty she makes less than ALL the crap they pump out of the radio.
I had the pleasure of catching Joanna play at Kingston Mines years ago and it was if a light had been turned on. She plays the blues proper. Joanna Carter is the truth!!!!!
@@kathryndrake5928 yeah, i read in the comments below some disparaging things about her playing (she's out of tune, her solo makes no sense) well, to each is own but all that aside the woman puts it all out there. i mean to my ears she's giving it everything she's got. i'd also say nowadays we listen to a softer blues, a more homogenized kind of playing. for me it sounds a lot like albert king or the first bluesbreakers album. raunchy. the woman has some serious technique. i like it!!
I do not believe in 59 years I have seen any woman as good as she is, and there are a very great many but Joanna has mastered those 6 strings. Like Joe Bonamassa she can probably play any genre that exists and do it well.
OMG.... . Can anyone else see what's really happening here??? She found it.. the gift, the note, the sound.. she found her place and what she was given to give... Cheers from San Antonio Texas
I just happened to watch this video when, I decided to "ask God to dance" for the first time... (WHAT an "experience" !!! it was ... ) LOVE this lady AND, her version of this song ! };-{~
She's an enigma to me- I've played for 30 years & I've never heard someone who is so good but plays out of key- she's totally amazing but for some reason she goes off course every now & again- I'm confounded by her
She's the real deal binged watched all her stuff on a Saturday night with a bottle of Johnny walker black wow didn't want to be anywhere else my neighbors probably wished I was I rocked my house
Sorry in advance for my language, but that was fuc...ing amazing! I practice guitar religiously and I’ll never be able to play like you!! Born talent . Lots of ❤️ 🇨🇦⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@ Matthew Wilkins -caught her at Kingston Mines as well ! A solid 4 hr (Plus) performance. Unfortunately, we had to leave b4 her final set was done. Wanted to get her to come perform here in Phx; was willing to introduce her to a top promoter friend. But she mentioned daughter was headed to Indiana St. (I believe) on yr 1 of a D-I basketball scholarship & she wanted to remain closer to her for the time being. Obviously, a total class act w/ priorities as well.
