Roots of Blues Willie Newbern „Roll And Tumble Blues Hambo

[gallanttimmy201]

This song is so original. To play it feels so draining from the veins.

[Bonqo]

First recording: March 14, 1929. Thanks Great Depression!

[MisterBorg9]

This doesn't sound like a recording from the 20's....You sure this isn't actually Joe Collicott??

[badpdx]

@MisterBorg9: this is definitely Newbern. First song I ever learned on slide guitar, from this recording.

[needianame]

Wow, Muddy totally ripped this.

[Odin029]

@needianame Yeah, Muddy and every other blues player born in the last 90 years. Besides its more a cover. If you want ripped off, take a listen to Lonesome Train by Charlie McCoy then listen to the intro to Ray Charles' Mess Around! I love Ray, but man that's rippin.

[silasouren]

WOW AMAZING.SEE MY CHANEL

[MrDaemonB]

I believe that this is the earliest known recording of Roll and Tumble blues...1927..............and yeah the picture looks like Son House

@MrDaemonB Could anyone tell me what song and by whome Amy Winehouse is performing here ..thanks.

@195477 Couldn't tell you, it was most probably written for her or the guitarist... to be fair it's actually not bad, blend of hollerin blues and boogie woogie

[195477]

@busessuck1 Thanks for replying as you look at the footage the guitarist on the left is called Vlad and he emailed soon after and said Amy just made it up on the spot.She did some more but that's all that's been put on Youtube so far.

[ijoan]

This puts to rest that Robert Johnson, good as he was, was an original.

[bigredlover77]

Dear Lord, Kill me by fire, drowning, or anything.; just don't let me die in prison? What is the purpose of a last meal?

[Jokurdog]

This guy REALLY lived the blues, dying in prison from a beating. What a legacy though for us bluesmen!!

[jorenbourn]

I've been listening to the blues for quite a while and didn't know anything about this Newbern guy. Sounds great, does anybody know anything about him. Talking about musical archaeology, what about Robert Johnson's "If I had possession over the judgement day", txussilvestre? Sounds likewise to me, too.

Guys, it's so good to know that there are still people out there with a taste for music. Hi from Spain

[checkraisedbywolves]

great version

thanks for sharing

[onitram1]

Thanks for posting. However, as the other poster stated-the photo is not Newbern, but Son House.

[txussilvestre]

Search also "Minglewood Blues" by Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers from 1928 (a year before this Hambone's version. Not mentioning the Roll and Tumble in the lyrics but the music is mainly the same...I like that about the blues...the musical archaeology

By the way, that photo is Son House's

Thanks for the song!!
