Col Bruce w/ Bobby lee Rodgers & The Codetalkers featuring Jimmy Herring

[DixieSoulshine]

BOBBY LEE RODGERS (last name has a D in it - you'll find more videos that way)

[willburr]

Rogers is playing his axe through a Leslie (organ) speaker while playing rhythym. That's where that organ-like tone is coming from. He's nailing it...

[NoodleSoupBass]

Jimmy uses Fuchs custom heads and Tone Tubby cabs.



[willburr]

DAMN!!! That opening rhythm riff is sick...Who is that?

[DonKeedic]

@willburr The bad ass BOBBY LEE ROGERS!!!

[turnagegp]

humble thyselves in the presence of herring and rogers. two guys coming from two different places and just thundering

[joelkeaton]

man what amp is he using. I REALLY like his tone. I can tell its partly that PRS but seriously anyone know what amp he is using?..

[turnagegp]

@joelkeaton probably a fender super reverb with tone tubby speakers. his distortion pedal is a fuchs pre-amp. dont know the name of it though

[peelopuu]

My mind just got blow'd

[furateo]

Jimmy Herring are crazy !!

[guitarcrazy019]

cargo pants with sport coat. Fashion and monster chops. Got to love some jimmy herring

[turnagegp]

these guys are modern americana at its best. this is great. herring is god

[oicsaywhat]

intro kinda sounds like it was influenced by the Allman Brothers One Way Out..call me crazy I hear it.....but these guys are awesome in concert a must see show

[mpd1690]

I would say "You Don't Love Me" by ABB

[Gorgolada]

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Herring .

His album Lifeboat is a musical joy with every contribution from each of the players just beautiful ... especially Kofi .

[willeng84]

i agree his album is incredible, everything on it.

[Noodlebass]

Man, Bobby Lee is just as good as Herring, just in a different way.

[Gorgolada]

Yes, Bobby Lee is staggering isnt he !

Jimmy is the first to sing his praises .. what a pair !

[jackcame2]

Sensational. C'mon guys, come over to London and show us how it's done!

[jedepah]

herring is one of the few guys who can properly wield a PRS... doesn't use a ton of distortion and knows how to bring out the tonal nuances... amazing player

[oysteria]

bobby makes that thing sound like an organ.

[DixieSoulshine]

@oysteria - that is what the Leslie does to it...they were used as church organ speakers

[PepWan]

I've never met Jimmy, but my good friend Rush Anderson down there in Atl engineered and mixed the new CD, with Jimmy. Rush says it is fantastic!

[zgr9]

i love the sound of his leslie

[batherbutt777]

I wish my super sounded that good..

In time... in time...

[warshmybody3]

Oh warsh my body!!!!!!!!!

[garyguitar]

Great playing by both guitarists. Jimmy played the hair off of it...

[poptarto420]

Wow! impressive guitar perfprmance!! not forgetting the amazing backup jimmy's got!! never heard of Col Bruce & The Codetalkers!

[Noodlebass]

Col. Bruce was the leader of Aquarium Rescue Unit which put Jimmy Herring on the map. Also Oteil Burbridge of Allman Bros. and his brother Kofi of Derek Trucks Band and Jeff Sipe of Leftover Salmon and Jazz is Dead. The Col. is a god!

[DixieSoulshine]

@poptarto420 - that songs a staple of bruce's, but if anyone wants to know what The Codetalkers were about, you have to look at Bobby Lee Rodgers cuz he wrote all the original tunes and sang them and played the sheet out of the guitar on them. Also google "Herring, Rodgers, Sipe" - the band played BLR's music and kicked arse!! Neal Fountain on bass tooo

[ThomasMaclennan]

Real nice tone

[jedisjumphigh2]

2:28 - 4:20  omgomgomg so good.

[jalofnotrade]

oh yea, well friends uncle works for the guy who used to be jimmy's gardner! says he used to see jimmy from like ten feet away!

[scomule2]

certainly a bunch of my favorite hillbillies..lol

[jonjosephbarnes]

that '67 super jimmy's using sounds great!

[ejc1974]

Great tune- great band.

[Carolinatunesmith]

I agree that Jimmy is the unending shit, but the cat with the Col. aint no slouch himself.

[DonKeedic]

Yea Bobby Lee rogers is the man!

[doeygood3000]

Shooooby goddamned doo!!!!

[ptrubin]

JH is god

[bluesbrotha420]

jimmy herring is absolutely flawless

[hawksoob]

Colonel Bruce Hampton. Yes, he played Morris in "Sling Blade."

"the madula awb-lawn-gotta ..."

[mustardmagnet]

i'm a tunesmith

[ratpup67]

Warning: Anyone listening to Jimmy Herring play guitar (with ANY band) is subject to growing recceptor sites on your soul, which will take you to fantastic hights and embed within you a fire and passion never known before, if you will only stop and open your mind; to the one, and only ...

[schwagger1987]

YESSIR!!! Jimmy is my effing hero..has been since i first heard him with the dead..UNTOUCHABLE!!!

[PepWan]

Wasn't that guy with the V on swing blade? The one that wrote the lyrics to the sonds "Doyle" and his band played? Maybe he just resembles him, and sounds like him!

[DixieSoulshine]

@PepWan - yep thats him

[codyr222]

Jimmy's run from 1:40-1:57 is untouchable.

[kingharvest1988]

ive watched this video so many damn times, jimmys solo is possibly my favourite ever. stunning

[ibanez065]

GEEZERPALOOZA Say it LOUD im old and im PROUD

[panicfan3882]

Jimmy Herring is in a league of his own

[dstack]

how weird das the fat guy look with that flying v

[randalltomes]

This guy has Re-Defined scales for playing.

E X C E L L E N T style.

[drpickup]

great clip thanks

[fister69]

N-I-C-E sometimes it`s what you dont play that realy counts

[madjdnnfjjmfmf]

Please Read The Following In A Sarcastic Tone:

Yeah that solo he DIDN'T play was the amazing!

[codyr222]

Jimmy's face from 3:07-3:08 is raw. It captures the pure emotion embedded in his playing.

[Gtrmaestro]

You should check out Herring, Rodgers, Sipe, and Fountain. Even better!

[augustw3st]

best guitarist ever: jimmy herring

[burtonrider423]

bobby lee rodgers is on acoustic

[harryelhat]

It's not an acoustic - it's a Gibson ES 125 (late 1950's). It's an electric archtop style guitar with a P90 pickup.

[harryelhat]

It's a Gibson ES 125 (archtop style) - electric with P90 pickup. Not an acoustic.

[baromisaki]

very nice... I'm looking for their CDs.　However, it is not found in Japan.

[TheUnknownTribe]

Try Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. I believe their first album is still available in Japan. This song is on it too.

[DixieSoulshine]

@baromisaki - You can find BOBBY LEE RODGERS & THE CODETALKERS in Japan. They released two CDs on a label there.

[ibbumpn]

who's playing the acoustic guitar? Very Nice.

[Bobweirhead]

wow that was awesome jimmy, this guy is one of my favorite guitarist at the moment and i am axited that he joined the legedary widespread panic, i hope he joins The Dead when/or if they come out with a tour, he rocks with them i saw he 3 years ago when he joined them AMAZING

[KochTrucks]

Jiimy Herring is friggin amazing, hes so different to the 'normal' blues guitarists. he goes outside the box

[Schaede]

fucking...awsome

[codyr222]

The Col. turned Derek onto Ali Akbar Khan and a lot of the Indian classical influences that are readily evident in his playing. I saw Jimmy play with DTB in Athens, GA on 3-31-06 and they blew the roof off. Often times it was difficult to distinguish who was playing lead because Jimmy and Derek sound so much alike. Plus, they have like a Duane/Dickey countermelody thing going on that is unbelievable. They never step onto each others toes...

[DonKeedic]

Jimmy is just awesome. Love Derek too.

[walleva69]

@codyr222 i was at that show but i disagree about the combo it was more like dunae/freak of nature

[bowlaxin123]

His tone at this show reminds me of Derek Trucks'

[hankscorpio1x1]

Derek learned a lot from Jimmy and Col Bruce. When he was young they were people he would play with a lot.

[DeadFitz]

WOW! That's hot! Their Bonnaroo show this year was smokin' too!

[forgetthespeech]

3:53-4:02

HOLY SHIT. Listen to how flipping clean those grace notes and trills are.

[Nezaru]

The rhythm guitarist.

He's using a leslie cabinet.

That is AWESOME

[hankscorpio1x1]

Ive seen these guys in concert and sometimes you forget that the guy is playing a guitar. Sounds just like an organ. Warren Haynes also play through one too.

[alanpaulchina]

yes, excellent.. jimmy is one of my all time faves, but the other guy plays apretty wicked solo also.

[DixieSoulshine]

@alanpaulchina - the "other guy" is BOBBY LEE RODGERS

[gkord]

whoa. jimmy in a suit. priceless.

[guitarpower]

WONDERFUL JIMMY HERRING SOLO!

[DonKeedic]

Glad you like it. You should check out the rest of the dvd! Jimmy really is awesome.

[guitarpower]

oh, you mean is it possible to get the entire concert???

[DonKeedic]

No, but there is over 3 hrs of content including 4 Ratdog songs clocking in at over an hr. The have alot of other festivals too!
