La Shawn, I'm so sorry for you loss. I never knew the man, only met him once. But he made an Australian boy, very happy, when he traveled to Clarksdale Mississippi. Bless his soul. Enjoy the video, all. The Man can play.
The legendary Mr Robert wolfman Belfort is part of that Mississippi Hill country Blues mob like I always say there's only one Mississippi and they got the musicians to prove it 🎸🎶
As a musician that covers this song, this was outstanding! Guitar tuned down to B and playing in that minor key....he just killed it. I've never heard a version of Smokestack lightning like this and probably never will again. This gentlemen is/was a gem to the art. I will have to look into more of his music.
what a great video !! robert belfour is amazing ! and in the back there is t model ford and rl boyce having a good time !! thanks for share !! cheers !!
I think this is actually my favorite take on Wolf's classic besides the original itself. It's played in a vastly different style than the original, which makes it fresh.
I always like listening Robert, That's R L Boyce in the cowboy hat and T-Model Ford next to him and me next to T-Model when the video first start. I can't remember the guy name in the black hat but know of him. I also still have the photo of T-Model and I that was taken.. That was so much fun. Thanks for sharing. RIL Robert & T-Model.
Open G tuning is fun as hell. I play exactly the way Keith Richards does in Open G tuning and plucking off the top string. Though, you can't play in keys lower than G2, but you can get your way around that.
