This guy rocks. I played at an open mic a few nights ago and right after I went off he walked in. He ended up doing a set with the house band for the next 3 hours, he used my gear! I hope some of his mojo rubbed off on my amp. He has one sick tone, I didn't think my amp could sound as good as he did haha
@cableaddict i have popped a few chubbies in my time....but this is good man...fabulous tone...what a find i reely like it.... proper unhurried blues how it should be...
He's not switching between amps. Any guitar player knows that. That's what foot switches are for. He simply combines the amps for the tone he gets. It looks like two of the same amps to me, probably Fenders of some kind.
he's got two amps cuz he switches his sounds from clean (one amp) to overdrive, distorted balsy sound (2nd amp)...that's all great, and the one on the right looks like a fender twin, but what the hell is he playing thru on the left??? can't tell but it doesn't look like a fender..video's a bit fuzzy, and thank god for cell phone cameras...man, plus such killer fuckin tone!
The BEST version is on the album "It's chubby time" just a great collection of studio and live stuff--not Beauty and the beast like some say...the one version on chubby time has a killer B3Hammond organ part that just makes it, plus he really sings w/ some soul and passion!!! This particular version (on utube) has extended solos, which I love since I play the same kind of blues popa does, but his vocals here suck--he's just yellling!!! But it's so fun to see, just like being there...
The version on the Booty and the Beast CD is rather different. That's a good album, but Popa Chubby's playing is far more restrained with no extended soloing. It was published on one of Sony's record labels and appeared to be a latter day Clapton-esque attempt to introduce the artist to a more mainstream audience.
I said stoop down baby Lay your love down low x2 Got no need for talkin no how Ain't nowhere to go I said stoop down baby Give your love to me x2 When you walk that way It 's clear to say You make me happy as can be I said stoop down baby We got to lay it on the line x2 Cause I'm evil for your lovin And I love your fat behind
i am going to see the man in whetstone on the 23 may cant wait i have not been this excited for years and bleeve i seen em all but none like this man i ll be so excited i ll have to wear special trousers with the insert pads i ll let you know how it was
saw him at the jazz cafe in wilkes barre.. walked in for dinner wit the wife...there was a STACK (like 4) twins..and I'm thinking WTF. he has it going on...and he was a LOUD mother
It's Chubby Time! Wow...what a great tone he has and voice. If he ever got together with Buddy Whittington they'd have to construct a solid lead stage.
popa kicks some serious booty. he has so much soul. He's one of my biggest influences. check my 2 videos of me playing my strat. Us big strat playing dudes gotta stick together. leave a comment. any and all comments welcome. popa rules!!
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd
Was there @ the Chester, so many nites. Popa used to start his show 'round midnight, often till 4.00 AM. Only pure blues warriors stood up still so late at night to aplause, or so early in the morning, if you prefer !! We used to get back home around 5.00, sleep a few hours, go to work, and get back to the Chesterfield at the end of the day, exhausted, deaf, but happy. Living, in fact. Living the blues.
Popa.is a real mother on the fiddle..every time he come around my area im there...Just remember folks....its all in the fingers !!!!And he pours he`s soul out even if theres only 2 people in the club !
Funky groove!!!!!!!!!!
