Lightnin Hopkins - Baby Please Dont Go

[Chocolaht]

This remind me of when my Aunt Boochi and her friend Dorthy Mae would dance and sing and debate over who was the greatest.. Lightinen Hopkins or John Lee Hooker...ROFL...classic either way!

[slonopochron3000]

this is fucking ace.

[jor99912]

Baby Please, Don't Go!

Baby "Please Don't Go!

Baby 'Please Don't Go back to New Orleans, You know I Love you so!

You Got Me way Down here!

You got me way Down here!

You got me Way down here, Way Down in New Orleans, You know I Love you so!

Wino, use to sing it to us, in the 1950s.

[RaymondDarroch]

tabs?

[surfercrow]

NOT Lightnin' Hopkins! You should put "COVER" in the title.

[kiely]

just a FYI ... Lightnin" Hopkins did write this and i kinda doubt Big Joe Williams, who recorded 20 years before Hopkins, did either.

[Tobious3000]

fine job

[melkkoe]

Cool! Sounds great , i love this song

[autinspare]

lovely playing. thanks. what was the guitar?

[stoelefj]

[JilaX]

Sheeet, you've got a damn fine groove on this one.

[bluelibra65]

[TomballPI]

Watching great talent is a gift. Thks

[thecyborgsvideo]

!!parc

[treverlazlo]

It's got a John Lee Hooker-ish boogie sound to it. Good job.

[GAldonas1]

Hey, terrific work! What tuning do you have your National in on this one?

[bassfeile]

nice guitar

[straffevlaarhoven]

Very nice version of Back to New Orleans. Keep up the good work!

[ed1962]

[Hellafireleli]

[tiagofigueiro]

Good job you've done there ;) thumbs up

[stoelefj]

Thank you=)

[tiagofigueiro]

Ah, by they way: the song's name is "Back to New Orleans"

[nikulaus]

oh so you lightning hopkins or what? freaking idiots get your tags straight! You are playing his songs. State that in the vids name ffs. 1 star for blasphemy

[123daydream321]

why would you get that mad? i know you said this 2 months ago but im just curious to know whats wrong with you? im sure it has a medical term

[nikulaus]

You might have noticed the search bar. It's for finding stuff. It works really well but there is one small problem. When i type "Lightnin Hopkins - Baby Please Dont Go" i find this. And i can't see if it's him or not, no. I have to click on this vid first. I don't want this vid though. So basically this guy tagging his vid like that stole my time.

I don't think there's much wrong with me :)

It's just that this way of naming vids is ruining youtube in a way.

[tnb35]

really good

[wordtide]

It's cool dude. Check out my version. I've been playing this song for 30 years. Nice job guy!

[ahuse1]

good God man, you make a singer want to sing, You done good, son!

[oldguy537]

that was great mate, I'm a big lightnin' fan you did well , thank you ..

[Blackdiamond045]

what tuning did you use on this? it sounded awesome

[stoelefj]

thank you=) Its just regular standard tuning on this one.

[electroncleanwipe]

Ah baby, please don't go

Ah baby,please don't go...

SING IT MAN!!!

[timmy2X4]

im sorry to ask but think you can tab this out?

i really dig this cover... peace

[thinkingevil]

I clicked on this to hear Lightnin Hopkins.... wtf?? I play blues covers too but I dont post em as "Freddie King"....

[stoelefj]

Im sorry you did not find what you expected. I wrote that in the tile to indicate that its a Lightnin Hopkins song. Do you think im trying to fool anyone? Get outahere.

[thinkingevil]

You know? I'm sorry I was negative and minding your business. Lesson: unless you have something nice to say, dont say anything at all.... the whole "comments" thing is a drag anyway, I think.

[MinorMeriwether]

thank you sir that was quite tasty thanks so much

[PMiguel6]

Your music is beautiful, ja ve heard your myspace. CD? five stars.

Lightnin Hopkins I love it, is the Man, do you know how I can the tab of this music?

[stoelefj]

Thank you very much!=) Sorry I dont know where you can find tabs. I dont use tabs. But I know theres a great instructional dvd on Hopkins style out there.

[PMiguel6]

Thank you for add me on facebook and on youtube;). yes I already heard of one that is The Guitar of Lightnin Hopkins but I can not find anywhere!

[ADILPROUD]

u got some skills put ya name on it. not trick people into thinkin its the legend

[parafleet]

fine. i don't like it when people snag a different artist's name.  makes no sense to me. you're good; put your name up there.

[NokhaAli]

totally, and making it black and white too to make you look like hopkins... just admit it's a cover... it's a really good cover. and nice guitar, but don't trick people into thinking that it's the original or one of the older artists dude, wtf?

[parafleet]

well..i can see two sides of a thing. this fuckin' rox. but the goodbugger who made it should put his own name up.. damn, that's good pickin'.. godbless.

[Dordzse]

This so good.

[philipcatley]

Nice playing, but how come Sams hands are white in this clip?

[rgviza1]

does it matter? the guy is fucking brilliant.

[frablu3s]

beautiful! great music!

[rodhedaz]

nice cover...

[mrjimbopalmer]

You got it.

[julien2503]

Merveilleux, tu rivalises avec le créateur ^^

[stacyblue1980]

[Animallover1890]

mississippi fred mcdowell?

[StayFree99999]

Wow! Now THAT is talent!!! Keep playin those blues.

[violet2048]

I love all these old tapes, thanks for taking care of them and shareing. 5*

[jx14aby]

Wow!

[expatlar]

Fine fine job, bub.

I listen to and work on Lightnin's kind of blues alot and you are hittin' real well right there. Keep working at it.

[stoelefj]

Thanks! I will. He was a fantastic guitar player and artist.

[mike2sounds]

I agree a close vibe to Lightin himself. Man I get really angry with people posting shit playing but this puts a smile on a young man's face.

We gotta jam sometime y'dig?

[stoelefj]

Thanks...! Yes, sure

[redsamick]

nice job! this is the closest to the acutal hopkins song i've heard so far

[nanbu14]

出来るな

[jeanstylo]

This is so great...You did a great job!

Keep on bluesing!

[notbendable]

sweet

[GhettoSven]

The best Lightnin' style player I've ever heard. (Besides Sam himself).

[stoelefj]

oh thanks... Im going to do this with lyrics soon. I can do it a little smoother now. Im not a guitar player though. Heter du Sven? norge, sverige?:)

[GhettoSven]

Yeah, a really good Lightnin tone man, not easy to catch. I've tried for years.

I'm from Sweden. I ain't Sven, it's just a nick. I'm not from a Ghetto either.

[cadolds]

what Texas delta? crazy white boy!

[stoelefj]

haha. well Lightnin Hopkins was a guy from Texas, thats all.

[sensemann75]

It's too slow. Lightnins version is much faster

[stoelefj]

Remember that he probably played it a million times:) Both slow and fast...

[gustavoandrian]

sounds like standard tuning

[stoelefj]

yup, you're right. this one is standard tuning...

[cxdeluxe]

What tuning is this in?

[loungecruz]

sounds great, nice playing

[sionthor]

Very good, however this is a Big Joe Williams song.

sion

[stoelefj]

sure, he played it as well. Before Lightnin maybe? But Lightnin Hopkins did great versions of this one. Listen to the Folk Blues Festival CDs, or see the 60s footage on youtube, it's terrific! :)

[radiopirate3]

Don't be silly, it's a Ted Nugent song, everyone knows that! ;-)))

[alkwwa9]

nice try good luck
