[bluesandbarbq]

Miss you RL.

[musicianAK]

back in '96 i got to sit in with rl, kenny and cedric. that was a thrill of a lifetime, let me tell you! it was mcguire's bar in grand forks, ND after a gig at the university. even tho they rarely used a bass player, i managed to get to play cause a friend in the bar band invited me up at the last second. thanks bill! i remember that RL called out a chuck berry song, but it didn't sound at all like anything i'd heard. i winged it and at the end RL said "that's alright, that's alright!" yes

[TheVoodooswampshack]

Yes!!! Not enough of this generatin round.....what has happened to music??? What has happened to people? God bless this player and whoever posted this...

RL was a row crop farmer most of his life in north Mississippi. He went to Chicago as a young man with some of his family and played there. Two of his kin were murdered within a short time and he returned to MS. He farmed there and played an occaisional juke joint until his later years when he got too tired of farming and started playing full time. North MS Allstars were some of his family and friends too.

[delu5i0n]

o man i really want to know how to play ....sigh help

[JohnRC4]

@delu5i0n

It's not a particularly hard song to play...Well, once you learn the nuances of playing slide guitar. I learned it by watching this clip. Once you get the basics down, it's just a matter of teaching yourself the little details beneath the surface that give it that badazz personality.

[haxan1980]

insanely good

[JBeauvais1000]

I had the opportunity to meet RL in person with my husband Joe Pass years ago, thanks to whomever put this on ubube ....jan pass

[christophereu]

@JBeauvais1000 you were married to joe pass? huge fan of his!

[5150zombie]

@JBeauvais1000 tell joe thanks for his lessons in older guitar player magazines. Really helped me out.

[neurofire]

RL was so full of life. I'd love to hear the between song chatter too.

[amikkwe]

Thanks for uploading this wonderful piece of music history. This man is the stuff of all the great legends!

[snowgod37]

someone called this experimental? please this is mud music

[Anokpoet]

And your just shit. At least this "mud" music is worth a damn, you ain't worth the shit you are. Hell without music like this you wouldn't have any of the crap you listen too.

[IMJaxon]

You didn't get what he meant Anokpoet.... Mississippi mud music... it doesn't mean the music is mud or people...  it's a style of a cultural thaing. It's not bad or a slam...

Ahhh... some times it's just hard to unstupid stupid...

[Anokpoet]

No I think I got the message. I know maybe to you and too Snowgod it is a cultural "thaing" but cultural "thaings" can still be racist. Look at american slavery it was part of the culture a while ago so does that make it not bad?

Ahhh...sometimes it's hard to believe people are so stupid that they try and use "it's just culture or heritage not hate" as an actual argument. Cracks my ass up!

[thebluezprojekt]

Listen to that Telecaster twang!!

[bgggbb]

Nothing sounds like them! Especially in the hands of someone like RL.

[bgggbb]

Nothin beats a proper Tele for this kind stuff. Especially when it is in the hands of this legend!

RL is the greatest blues machine ever!

[cabby26]

why is it good music like this always has so many less views than most of the crap that comes out today?

[BigPharao]

because people prefer unexperimental, rehashed and synthetic music less of creativity or real life atmosphere. not living stuff.

many people i know listen to music like they eat fast food. just munch it down fast to get a bit entertained and replace the boredom.

that's the direction mainstream music is going

[dharmashooter]

'cause most people are crap

[eliades1973]

@cabby26 That's because a lot of people are suffering from tunnelvision and only watch youtube clips from artist they heared on the f#%&ing chartradio's!

[RetardedWa1rus]

@cabby26

because the average person likes terrible music.

[TheBluesBobby]

@cabby26 Good music isn't popular anymore... We have a society problem!

[zzfanhun]

@TheBluesBobby That's true!

[TheEliteCommander333]

@cabby26 because, good musik is always the hardest to find!

[exesquire]

just great!

[lotharjones7]
