[parrytonneath]

How brilliant is this version of this song?



[FarmerCarlosFolk]

...and was raped by donkeys...

[cuntriboy]

The one that didn't like this must be that "lying woman".

[larjanus]

The person who disliked this is an ASS HOLE

[taildragger53]

Cuts like a knife..deep to the soul.

[rockntroopen]

the 1 person who didnt like this dont have a soul.

[JRR951]

@rockntroopen The 1 person who disliked this DOES have a soul! ;)

[patrixo]

... you mean they had a soul that was stolen long ago and they could get it back probably ......

[anaru71]

[SethEdward1930]

MY FIRST SONG HAS BEEN POSTED ON CHANNEL! I hope you listen, like it and SUBSCRIBE! Thanks

[Ukabumba]

what does he tune his guitar to?

[tombstonehand1]

@Ukabumba

Standard tuning, occasionally tuned down a half step or so, or capo'ed up.

[busessuck1]

I finally found it... this was the melody fats domino uses in his song "the fatman"

I'd heard it before but didn't remember it was by bb fuller... even though he's one of my favourite ragtimey bluesmen (after gary davis)

[RedCrayon45]

@busessuck1

Ive heard it earlier by charlie patton and furry lewis.

[CarolinaOcelot]

Tarheels! Whoo!

[DoubleVisionandco]

This is so good it`s stirring.

[swampgrassmusic]

wow, Sonny Terry on harp with Fuller - very cool

[amysinai]

Very COOL....LOVE you brother....Blessing's, Peace, LOVE,Light! :)

[deathtoakira666]

this is Blind boy not Rory Gallagher please dont compare

[shannonandsheila1]

@deathtoakira666 thanks dude for clarifying that for some people

[TheMahagoni]

you can hear the way this brotha dont even say the words like it sounds

it's like another language , not english

[tombstonehand1]

@TheMahagoni

I'm from North Carolina and it sounds like perfectly good English to me. He has an accent, sure, but he speaks pretty clearly.

[PeluMaad]

@tombstonehand1 ....LOL....but then Fuller was from Durham....

[TheBluewasp]

@PeluMaad He spent some time in Danville Va...The last capitol of the Confederacy.

[PeluMaad]

@TheBluewasp ....he probably spent time in every NC and VA tobacco town. That's where Piedmont street musicians got PAID...

[kswet40]

@tombstonehand1 im with you brother, i get every word and im from asheville

[UncleRonski]

like it thanks for posting it..........

[destroydez]

yes :0 i fainally got to the roots of blues

[halfbakedshawn]

im really digging your playlist, i wish you'd make it blues only and keep the rap in a separate list..

[rodney1238]

blind boy fuller is the blues not the only one of his kind but! one of the people when I listen to blue that I think of first..

gallgher is okay in his own world just not in a blues conversation.

[MrChillin65]

LOVE THIS MANS VOICE... great blues.

[trufiend138]

wow sounds great..wow!!!

[MGFLY112]

Is his guitar out of E set? Sorry for my english. I hope- u've understood.

I mean his guitar is upset. I've tried to play it by ears but it's TOTALLY UPSET! Why is it so?

[JohnnybBaseball]

Have to agree with pionspravin...Simply great!

[pionspravin]

Simply great

[91Lizardking]

one of the greatest blind blues singers I think...

[youbestbequiet]

He's no Blues Brothers but ok

[Immaculate416]

[TheHistoryJohn]

LOOVE IT INFINITE STARS, BLUES FOREVER !

[zorbazig]

Once again thank you from Switzerland for all your pearls, Slowtubbi !...

[oailpin]

Check out Rory Gallagher version he loved the Blind boy.

[cooder90]

i couldnt disagree with you more on anything in this world....apart from maybe eric clapton, rory gallagher has done more for piedmont blues than anymore else

[cobiascvili]

@oailpin

Thank you to keep Rory alive!

[a8anasios666]

@oailpin I'm sure Blind Boy Fuller is among the blues men that jam with Rory in the heavens

[ManitouCommando]

@oailpin Cephus & Wiggins ( I'm sure I mis-spelled one or both of their names) recorded this song a few years ago.

They call their style Piedmont Blues

[Charlllz]

love this sorta blues. this stuff is so cool

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Excellent video! Great audio Slowtubbi.

thank you!! 5 stars,

[frozenstrawbs]

well i'd do anything in this god almighty world if you'd just let me follow you down.

[striprman]

I believe this song is being sung to his wife, Cora Mae. He "accidentally" shot her in the leg and spent some time in prison. He didn't get to play at Carnage Hall because he was in prison when the opportunity arose.

[striprman]

sorry about previous deletions

sm

[striprman]

I can tell my dog anywhere I hear him bark

I can tell my rider while I feel her in the dark.

Your the cold blooded murderer when you want me out your way, says that's all right mama you gonna need my help some day.

And you sing your gonna put me, woman, down in my lonesome grave

then you must remember I once have been your slave.

[striprman]

Now you give me the money baby and I'll catch that train and go

Now you see my rider tell her I said bring it home.

I aint had no lovin' since my gal been gone

There's two kind of people in the world that I can't stand

that's a lying woman and a monkey man.

MMMmmmmm

[PeterVadim]

Awesome

[bjjnuts]

Danlivingstone and slightlyphysyco would'nt know their arsehole from a hole in the ground........... They maybe separated by 60years but these 2 muppets would'nt know a musician if he kicked them in the mangina. If you can't say something intelligent or atleast informed then just SHUT UP and enjoy the music.

A TRUE BLUES AND MUSIC LOVER.

[slightlyphsyco]

ok, u ubviously have no musical experiance if u dont understant what im talking about. and what u said was stupid, therefore being hypacritical. ASSHOLE

[slightlyphsyco]

absaloutely amazing. perfect formation. i love it. you cannot compare this great music and rory together its tottally different

[linos1987]

king of blues for me!RIP big blues guy!!

[blueskyearth]

The singing is trascendental, you cannot sing better than this the blues ,is just perfect!!!!

No one can do better than the old masters!!!

[StanolaGoW]

in my opinion this is more alot more bluesy den gallaghers but i still love gallaghers both great

[rockharddemolition]

That AINT no blind boy fuller!! Its The late Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee on guitar and vocals.

Dont be told otherwise!!

I'd stake my life on it!

[jim12miller]

that's Blind Boy Fuller singing. Sonny Terry played harmonica on a number of his recordings. Great stuff.

[ZEDZOR2]

@rockharddemolition I think your 100% right!

[DanLivingstoneMusi]

i cant believe anyone would bother comparing rory gallagher and fuller... burnt out rock n roll to great trad blues

[wylie1669]

@DanLivingstoneMusi -- rory gallagher is amazing,, and he gives this song new life. greatest irish guitarist to ever live. period.

[kingcobraeire]

@DanLivingstoneMusi idiot

[kw21925]

@DanLivingstoneMusi Rory Gallagher may have been white and Irish, but he was an authentic bluesman, he lived as hard as they did, drank as hard and played with as much genuine passion as any bluesman you'd care to name. He had a real reverence for this music, he didn't rip it off like Led Zeppelin. Rory was the real thing.

[stonedpimpdaddy]

@kw21925 You got that right man! Rory was a one of a kind LEGEND!

[Darrenae86]

@kw21925 Could'nt have said it better myself! :)

[BuddinTheAmazing]

Great song. I think I prefer Rory Gallagher's cover, it's more upbeat and typical Rory Gallagher acoustic blues, but this version is still very good.

[daganon]

Blind Boy He the best!!

[bluesgirl62]

Lovely!!

[KarloR27]

Now I've found blind boy doing pistol slapper blues.

[digitalfotoman]

Having heard Rory play this so often it's great to hear and appreciate the original. Thanks for posting

[planetcaravan72]

Brilliant! I am speechless. For some reason I never took any efforts to listen to the original and now I am so damn glad I did.

[pionspravin]

gr888

[zorbazig]
