@pnomis Do they give Credit to the Leaves for writing Hey Joe? Nope, yet Hendrix has tons of videos up of it. Not ever cover song has a thing of "This song was written by blah blah blah" Just enjoy listening to a God. People will find out the true artist on their own if they love the song enough.
This is a lovely performance but why not credit the author. It was not written by Clapton or Cream. It was written by Blind Joe Reynolds using a bottleneck. You'll find the original on You tube if you look.
Clapton es como los coches mi hermano... es un clasico... y a un clasico se le debe admirar por su esencia... ademas en lo personal prefiero a Clapton que a un James Valentine. Saludos a todos los blueseros de por aqui...
Como exageran algunos, esta cancion es sencillima de tocar, claro para quien toque la guitarra. Sigo a clapton desde que tocaba en los Yarbirds y se lo llevo Mayall,, es decir unos 40 años y ahora se ha covertido en pepito grillo, siempre los mismos riffs, los mismos punteos, se quedó en los 70 y no avanzo nada de nada.
@armadaskier175 It's the main riff... the notes are the exact same, but it's in the nuances that make it different. The Cream version of that main riff is very staccatto, which means he doesn't apply sustain or extend the note... each note is percussive, short, with no string bending. Here, he liberally bends into that blue note, and it's also not staccatto, it's smoother and the notes flow into each other. But the rhythm is virtually identical to Cream's.
claptons all good I respect his playing and like alot of his tunes, but acoustic blues just doesnt sound as good flatpicked - finger styles where its at!
I believe he says, "women these days are so doggone crooked, till they might make a 'fore day creep" meaning they might "creep around"(cheat) before the sun comes up
Song written by Blind Joe Reynolds. He was blinded by a shotgun blast to the face in Louisiana in the mid-late 1920s, which resulted in the physical loss of his eyes. Despite this handicap, Blind Joe became known for his distinctive bottleneck style as well as his reported accuracy with a pistol, with which it is said he could judge the position of a target by sound alone.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right outta heyaaa! That cd's burned into my brain track for track like Hard Day's Night I swear to God I know every single word it's pretty sad.. It's Disraeli Gears gibsnbyrd119 get yourself a copy.
Could somebody please tell me what he says after "women these days are so doggon crooked..." A guy doing a cover said "they might leave before the break of day", but that's not it, something...creep, I think.
@hipyaboyya LOL Google is an amazing invention isnt it.....although i found a substitution of "a" for "off" set of lyrics as well and funny enough if you listen closely he says "Till" and " a "in this version...kind of slangs the verse together compared to the posted lyrics when he wrote it for cream...poetic license.
"Till they might make a fore day creep" is what he sings here right words or not
@fireballpip I am pretty sure it is ..."they might make a 'fore-day creep" as in "before" day. In other words, she is cheating on him at night. Creep is a common blues phrase...usually "midnight creep". I could be mistaken though. This is a pretty old tune, originally done in 1929, so the use of "fore" in place of "before" by a blues musician from the south seems like a pretty reasonable explanation.

@fireballpip "they might make a for day creep" meaning before day. Like my grand mom would say, your going fishin so get some sleep, you know how your grandaddy is hes leavin for day if your not up u aint going. In other words hes leaving before the break of day otherwise known as before sunrise.......When Mr Reynolds wrote that saying fo day creep his piers knew what he spoke of.Paul Lawrence Dunbar used it alot in his Poetry as well
@bakedsushi Muddy uses " (Be)fore day creep " in one of his early recordings also. Its right at the end of a song, when it comes to me I'll let ya know.
@luftenant Actually Muddy used it twice and Buddy Guy had one recording in the late 60s when he used it. Also Blind Blake, Tommy Johnson, T Model ford, Ligtnin Hopkins..........the list is too long but you know as a delta lover what it means. Its almost funny how people do not want to understand a phrase thats used over and over since 1913 and prob before....It was in the movie Glory for gods sake. But if you listen to Blind Joe Reynolds he just says For day creep.
@bakedsushi Wow! What a list ! , thats some homework there. I take your word for it. Its def. a term (slang) used by many people (back in the day). Its these "GREAT BLUESMEN" that have put it in their music so we can understand the meaning better. So very affective too. But on a good note....goin to see Buddy at the end of Aug. up here in MASS. Then Warren Haynes Band in Sept. Have you ever got to check them out? Thanks for the nice post...to many posters are posers...haha
@fireballpip "They might make a 4th degree" That comes from the old fashion 3 degrees of interrogation that the cops used to use. The 3rd degree was the worst form of interrogation usually involving some physical slapping around or worse... so a 4th degree would really suck.. if it had existed.
It's "four day creep" and it means to go sneak around on your lover. Ida Cox wrote the original and Peter Frampton's first successful band, Humble Pie recorded it also. It's on their "Rockin' The Fillmore" live album.
These are not the most difficult licks , but I'm totally amazed by the incredible control and punctuation he puts on every single note ! not to mention the flawless timing and rhythm !
I would love to sit down and listen for hours with this guy alone singing with just a guitar.....he is like an encyclopedia of fantastic pre-war blues.
