blues blues blues great blues

[PayinTheTowle]

I looked all over the internet and all I could find was some BS youtube version of Eric Clapton... Or some my space or I Tunes of the song Before you accuse me. I heard this song tonight and thought of some females and had to post it on face book. Even though it's not Eric Clapton they rocked it out harder than any video or song I have heard yet so gonrats gentelmen! I posted your video on my facebook well deserved men!

[cjjl2007]

Simply awesome.  People like this are what keeps me going learning the harp.

[Wagin42]

Very Elmore James/ Little Walter influenced version - but very good for all that. I prefer your version to Clapton's, who wouldn't?. Yeah, I know Bo Diddley wrote this - I've had his record for 41 years!

[ivanlutter]

[JohnnyCarlevale]

Great version guys!

[sabuna77]

this guys are really great! they have taste, they have feelin of blues and they are standing on the roots of greatest music. harmonica player is very cool.i like the way he plays-good style.so this is an example how we, the new generation bluesmen must play a blues.blues deserves special treat so not evreone of us has a ability to play it. blues is an feeling, and if ya don'i have no feeli'n ya can't play it!!!

[swamprocker57]

Great Job, love it! Is the guitar player playing in standard tuning? Thanks!

[septymonious]

yeah? well you were whippersnapping with a lot of bite.

[septymonious]

you geezers are sheer class!

[tymjar]

At the time, we were just whippersnappers.

[LizzyDouglas]

Unbelievable that this sound comes from a three-men-band. The harpplayer is of great class !!

[tymjar]

Thanks Lizzy. Ben's using thumbstyle(Piedmont blues) and the fact that the soundman, a recording engineer, was using state-of-the-art(as of 1995) equipment explains some of the fullness of the sound. He loved mixing the Riders 'cause we always listened closely to each other and were sensitive to the need to vary balances of different songs and different section of songs, ourselves; the "old fashioned" way, not reliant on monitors.

[LizzyDouglas]

Yep, Piedmont Blues, Blind Boy Fuller .

[harmonicaman12]

thanks for the compliment on my harp playn. Its great to be appreciated. Yes, its only 3 of us, we actually sound better live.

[Romona62]

U B JAMMIN'!

[winescoop]

great sound ... good rhythm and blues

[LadyRBlues]

Love that harmonica player! He's SOOOO good! Picture quality is lacking though. Can you show us some more videos?

[tymjar]

This is a digitial transfer from an old tape.

All TWO HOURS of Blue Riders clips, youtube search on keywords: tymjar Blue Riders.

[Franckytoo]

[Icare120]

thanks for this great version !! even if the video sucks, the sound is good, that's the most important ;-)

[j7777777]

it do,nt look like hes using a slide ,yet it sounds dead like a slide !!!

[bunkman64]

Look closley at his middle finger, he is using one. Very well I might add!

[LizzyDouglas]

Using it as a slidin' effect ???

[tymjar]

The slide is made of glass(gets the bottleneck sound). Because it's transparent, it's not easy to detect.

[davie1689]

fantastic

[xfuzzymuzzyx]

awesome

[johnluchomono]

JOHN FOGERTY IS THE BEST!!!

[paininjector]

Great music and playing, but the video sucks, picture wise.

[tymjar]

This clip is from a 1996 VHS tape. Analog tape to digital does that.

[PaineLover]

Loved it!  Yeah, I like all versions of this one. Thank you tymjar .

[tymjar]

I prefer every version.

[Jakester32123]

whose the singer? hes pretty good

[cooloongup6]

magic

[JohnnyF123123]

I know that Clapton wrote it. I was just saying people throw famouse names in there just so their music pops up when people search. I know Clapton wrote it though. I hate when people do that but this is such a great song and band playing it I'm happy I found it.

[flyingfish555]

Clapton didn't write it. He only helped popularize it. Bo Diddley (aka Ellas McDaniels) originally wrote and performed the song.

[lhargraves]

This is funny because Eric Clapton says that Bo Diddley (AKA Ellas Bates, AKA Ella McDaniel) wrote the song. Check eric-clapton dot co dot uk

fyingfish is right, sorry Johnny

[Adriva01]

Great job !!!!

[lotusblues]

I LIKE it!

[Flacoblues88]

great version ....congratulations from Chile ...

[JohnnyF123123]

Decieving ass title makes you think it's Eric Clapton, it's awesome though so. Great song man.
