Who are these bluesmen? Lot´s of comments, but nobody knows who they are.

[970ronaldo]

@TheAmargao

Harper is Hammie Nixon, guitarist is Sleepy John Estes, another guitarist is John Henry Barbee. 

[WolfieBlack1]

[yuguipi]

How can someone dislike this?... knows nothing about culture.

[willy1986tralara]

thats nice

[tommyau2006]

alot of stupid comments here

[ode2reading]

Singing the blues (pain) away. The real deal. Everything else is imitation. An incomprehensible depth of soul and suffering are required to sing authentic blues. I love my ancestors. Thanks to "hantori" who recognized the importance of this video and posted it.

[soeterik]

This music touched your soul!!

[dakotamanomgwtf]

Blues is so good

[frodonet]

Jesus, look at their passion!

[ENILA48]

[brnmhn]

I think this is Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee!

[Odin029]

@brnmhn Its Sleepy John Estes and Hammie Nixon. I'm guessing it was recorded between '62 and '65.

[gitfiddlejim]

@

Estes Nixon, Barbee.

[brnmhn]

[wailin1967]

@MyWoodstock1 Probably Hammie Nixon - they played together for years...

[aboomoosab]

I wanna cry when I see stuff like this... remembers me the old days and yesteryears like if I had lived in it... and I'm only 25

[funkbox1029]

COOL!!

[casu3]

[tbox203]

@casu3 Can't tell. He sort of sounds like John Lee Williamson.

[casu3]

@tbox203 if its the american folk blues festival sonny boy 1 was dead by dat time looks like carey bell to me but you rigth sounds like sbw1

[thailow117]

@tbox203 this sleepy john estes btw, probably with hammie nixon on harp. the first williamson died in 1948

[thailow117]

@thailow117 no, he really looks like cary bell.

[eatmytool1]

@casu3 try writing in a manner that others can understand, and maybe you'll get a response....kids these days....

[casu3]

@eatmytool1 i dont write for honkys zorry

[eatmytool1]

@casu3 that's nice, racist, but okay....and i guess you don't write for any other race either. ps, im not white, but thanks for the assumption...didn't your mother teach you any better?

[casu3]

@eatmytool1 not but your taught me many things

[eatmytool1]

@casu3....... what?...here we go again

[LOLIG99]

i dont care about the colour of the music, i just like the music itself ^^

[ThePurelogic]

chapells show

[tonnymambo]

who´s this?

[richicious]

@pandreyc

music is colorful. It has ALL colours you can imagine (and more).

[46professor]

It's Sleepy John Estes and Hammie Nixon, AFBF (Germany?) cirka 1967. Thanks

[jeffisstoned]

[xareco1982]

[buffalobilly]

[OnlyFingerSkate]

[Munichnights1969]

[goldieblack101]

i love the blues

there is no better music

[ellollio]

sweet

[aquariusnikos]

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

[cribpointcritter]

Wonderful...........good to see stuff like this posted up on youtube.

[pandreyc]

music has no colour!!!

[segomalo]

I tihnk you'r wrong, of course that has color, nationality,age, and some others things. The blues in black, very very black, withe peolpe will never able to create this kind of music no matter how hard they try. I'm not black, I'm mexican by the way and I can assure you black peolpe cannot feel our music. Live long dark people and dark tanned people, o sea negros y morenos, Ajua!!! jajajaa

[vicmmo]

@segomalo Hola Segomalo... por tu ajua it looks like you are from Monterrey. I agree with pandreyc when he says that music has no colour, tiene razon, la musica no tiene color, es universal, hay muchisima gente negra que llora con la musica de mariachi. I love blues and I respect the black people that converted their suffering into magic music, magic blues.

[Hunter2OH]

@vicmmo Ehmmmmm men yo soy negro y te aseguro que la musik de un mariachi nunk se comparara a la de un cantante de Blues de Missisipi ;D

[slavegrind]

Estas ciertíssimo. Y yo soy blanco.

[CalypieAndroid]

@Hunter2OH Mexicans and Spain have the Same Music

[fofo1703]

@CalypieAndroid who told you that? are you kidding right?

[segomalo]

@Hunter2OH Claro, y es que como dice mi compadre el perico: "es cultural", en lo personal me gusta m,ucho como la gente negra le imprime su sello a la música. Incluso en la programación gabacha las viejas weras hacen voz y respuesta con entonación negra para demostrar y me atrevo a decir que uno se da cuenta cuando un negro o moreno toca, y aunque los blancos lo hagan "bien" no me gusta tanto. Quiero aclarar que yo estoy en una postura respetuosa por la gente negra

[fofo1703]

@segomalo a huesos caldo ya ni viendo la pechuga. lo mas inteligente que he leido. incluso los "blancos" contrataban a negros para hacer este tipo de musica por que ellos no podian.

[segomalo]

incluso si escuchas una canción una canción de santana, en la que muchos de los instrumentos se tocan por blancos, te das cuenta que no es música cien por ciento latina y te voy a decir, según yo, que es lo que le falta a su interpretación: Falta de higiene.Porque es lo mismo que observar una fiesta o cocktel de ellos para que te des cuenta que siempre el "espacio personal", la distancia, lo frío, por eso aunque "toquen bien" no tocan rico.

[fofo1703]

@segomalo asi les falta el sabor. ellos tiene su vida escrita en una agenda y usualmente no tienen tiempo para algo espontaneo incluso no tienen tiempo para su familia por eso hay tanto loco y tanto problemas psicologicos.

[chachisambora]

@segomalo Dejemos ya los prejuicios, la música une, no divide, cada uno tiene sus propias raíces y su estilo, eso es innegable, pero la gente que ama tocar y escuchar no piensa en quién se encuentra detrás del instrumento... simplemente siente lo que surge de él.

[segomalo]

Cuando ves a un negro o latino sonreir, la sonrisa te dice claramente: "¡Fiesta!", aunque a mí no me gusta Santana pero, lo pongo como ejemplo

[segomalo]

@pandreyc I tihnk you'r wrong, of course that has color, nationality,age, and some others things. The blues in black, very very black, withe peolpe will never able to create this kind of music no matter how hard they try. I'm not black, I'm mexican by the way and I can assure you black peolpe cannot feel our music. Live long dark people and dark tanned people, o sea negros y morenos, Ajua!!! jajajaa

[karl198]

@segomalo

Stop talking shit. Muddy Waters famously said in an interview that the whites can play the blues well. John Lee Hooker also played with many white musicians, Albert King is another great blues man who played with SRV on stage. I'll take the blues masters opinions over your racist ones thanks

[segomalo]

@karl198 tHIS IS NOt about racism, and the one who is talking shit it's only you. To each one his own. Centroamérica is the Salsa's father and even if you play salsa, you may do it well. It's unlike white people. You can't adopt this feeling. jajajajajaj Looser boy.

[mylighthouse10]

@pandreyc music has all colours!!! :)

[ap0calyptix]

@pandreyc

Yeah it does... "Black and white" ...Film that is...

[BamaBoy205SR]

@pandreyc the people who came up with the whole idea of blues had a skin color it is called black or African 

[pandreyc]

is there anyone on this internet, who really understand the meaning of my words???

[BamaBoy205SR]

@pandreyc no because first of all you spelled color colour so most people will not understand but i understood how you act as if race is no big issue it seems in alabama and the rest of the world make a big deal over race

[lambofgod661]

@pandreyc some people can see music.

[GoingSteadyMotions]

@pandreyc YOU RACIST?

[pandreyc]

@GoingSteadyMotions ... i just wanna say that music dosen't care about skin colour... and these guys are amazing.... the only thing that matter is the sound.... not racism, money, power etc.... i'm not a racist... belive me... i love music and people that can do that.... black, white, yellow, green... your soul matter. have a nice day.

[246mitch]

@pandreyc exept for black and white.... the only two colors of humans lol

[killratoss]

@pandreyc ya it does, blue!

[pandreyc]

@killratoss best answer ever.... thx!!!

[deadcityrebel]

sleepy john and most likely hammie nixon

[cuckoo1937]

I love this song. The finest blues. Great archive recording.

[RageMachinie]

Finally found something like this, been trying to find some old school blues for a long time. It's simply beautiful.

[drufovka4543]

Fuck i like this blues!!!!

[borntobewildpascal]

sti qu'jaime le blues demeime avec de l'harmonica ....

[24AB2]

I like all kinds of music

Holiday - Hendrix - CCR - Beatles - Stones - U2 - Peppers - Pearl Jam - Evanescence etc etc

only 7ties glamrock & disco aint my cup of tea

some time ago I saw a documentary about some-one who collected blues shellac records from the early days

was fascinated - forgot to write down the info - only thought : this is what it is all about

THX for putting this on YouTube

[deZibeL8]

GREAT MUSIC

[crystalcity74]

tassie is right for sure

[accadaver1]

That is music from the heart right there.

[papugomez]

nice man, thanks for this

[trulezzy86]

beautiful

[cvm2870]

Magico

[x2mars]

that's about the best thing I've ever seen, thanks

[tassieblues]

How about Sleepy John Estes and Hammie Nixon

[B7aug5]

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee???

Hard to tell. The guitarist doesn' t look like Brownie so much... The harmonica player might be Sam Myers who played with everyone. He did some great work with Elmore James on Yonder Wall. Sorry that I am not of more help.

[yahoo138]

that's Sleepy John Estes. no doubt.

[manhattan9144]

Good music my man.

[Aldolnza]

does anyone know who they are?

[BrunoEspo]

note to self 3:36

[capurro007]

xoleeee

[Fr3derick]

Excellent!!!

Grandma mary

[shawnyboie]

i don't think much sound was avavilble 1910's or 20s.lol

[dgk990]

hmm... i'm looking for older that this... is there anything on youtube from the 1910's or 1920's?

[FranciscoBonito]

u got some bessie mae smith,blind lemon jefferson etc

[demented20]

The best you can do is get someone like Sleepy John Estes who was playing in the 20's and wait until technology caught up. You know hi-tech stuff like phonographs and a portable motion picture cameras.

[grooveman2006]

I ♥ It :)

[hounddoggy9]

this i real music

[magikfungus]

these bros are fucking good

[comrade86]

[bleuesyman]

[jlc840]

Nothin better then this!!

[poppalarge68]

Absolutely wonderful..wonderful..wonderfu­l.. But that's a crazy little bastard on that whisky jugg... lol

[bigwillhenk]

kick kick look also for us bigwil

big will and the bluesmen

[jleoblues]

I am not sure but I think its "Sleepy John Estes" and Hammie Nixon These were Tennessee blues man. If you listen closely, you can hear the influence of Sonny Boy I (not Rice MIller)

[petalumachicken]

Yes its Sleepy John with Hammie Nixon on harp and finally joined by John Henry Barbee.

[themiln]

I think the name of the song is, "Three old Cunts jamming the blues!"

[mark0tc]

the soul of music

[benwil1785]

Does anyone know if there a name for the song 3:36 onwards? I'd love to learn how to play it. I love this so much, one of my favs I'v found on Youtube

[pedalla]

real blues... it sure is...

[SCRIBESCREEN]

love the blues

[IJariJuniorI]

[fatdrone]

ladycplum u said the truth!!!!!

[falloutboy4509]

robby krieger for his audition with the doors came in with the neck of a beer bottle and the band nevr knew of that sound :P just let you know all doors fans out there

[ladycplum]

THIS is music. No flashy gimmicks, no pretty boys, no EMO crap. Just men with the instruments God gave them.

[hellsec]

Who are they?

[2002092]

There's a posting of the same video elsewhere on youtube that identifies them as Sleepy John Estes, Hammie Nixon, & John Henry Barbee'. All very esteemed musicians, but I don't know enough, frankly, to verify this. Still, there is no reason that I can see to doubt the information.

[jageycakes]

This is so cool...luv it

[davidholmes282]

I grew up on Black Sabbath and Tool.... but you know nothing comes close to this right here

[6irondriver]

Brotha, if u go back to roots of music, Blues was the grand daddy of rock and roll. Punk was the b@tch son, and country was just a nephew.

[woodpoetry]

haha yeah, Every thing white people have ever done musically is a bastardization of black cultural acheivements.

unless you go for baroque ( I think we did that on our own....but I'm no pro)

[romperstompist]

even country and polka and techno?

[MrDanyosan]

I,d like to let underground 235 knowthat they should try and understand the blues before you comment. D.  in Ca. 5-13-09

[jakethepoocake]

[FabioGrOoVe91]

[abissina76]

[luchalmon]

[jepamisschien]
