@kopilit Yes, I'm stuck in the old Blues, as an old collector. My motto is Keep The Old Blues Alive and that's why I'm here on YT, to share.
I listen to contemporary Blues too, but as a collector, you have to concentrate in a particular field, period, time and my collection is Blues 1902-1943.
@kildare97 This is timeless.He outplays everybody of today.His Dynamics are out of this world.He drives me Crazy every time. One of the greatest lessons i know
Musician Profile: Mike Brown....ya like vintage records....heres who u need to chat with. He has easily one of the most awesome vintage guitar,microphone,and amp collections around....he has got to know some smokin record collectors....enjoy
@Drunkenmo This is the Original ! I know Creams did a very good version covered by Eric Clapton. I have that tune too, but since I only upload Old Original Blues, this suits me fine. Hope the same to you !
Kickingmule, Thank you for the great post. Your consideration for others shines by your gift of this post from your collection. At 57 this is the first time I have heard the origional thanks again to you. 5 STARS to You and Blind Joe. I play acoustic, mostly blues, and now I have more great study/enjoyment material. Sorry for the book here but you really delivered the goods. Very Best To You!
Claptons version sounds hollow after listening to Willie holding it down on the slide. The end lyrics are better his way too. Shes not doin your dirt, buddy, shes beating you to it!
It blows my mind to think of all the Brits sitting around listining to these old records.I was listening to top 40 crap. When I came home on leave I went to Greenwich Village and I heard all this Zep,Cream, Stones etc. and I thought it was new stuff. Today I heard the real Outside Woman Blues for the first time and I've been a blues fan since 1967. Thanks.
Thanks for making this amazing performance easily available. The British players did a lot to bring the original music to a wider audience, mostly white kids, and many of the old blues guys benefited during their later years. Whether it helped Blind Joe, I don't know- Wikipedia says he died in 1968 of pneumonia, around the time Cream released Disraeli Gears with their electric cover (featuring some of Eric's best playing from that period).
I have researched it based on the work of many blues historians. Blind Joe most probably even never heard of Cream much less knew they were making money off his music....and it is doubtful thet Cream even knew he was alive when they recorded his song. But it would have been interesting to see how old Joe would have reacted. He was one of the few pre-war blues artists that were still playing on street corners in the south in the 1960s. He died in my hometown of Monroe, La
@gootenslog WOW, what a comment ! The best I've got ! Much appreciated ! You are right, the old Bluesmen/women often got Nothing. If the record companies didn't take it all, others did so, like Cream. I can't blame them, but it's a shame, the Original Bluesmen often ended up in the streets, again, I think ?
My Best Greetings to You and of course to Blind Joe, if his spirit still is around in your hometown, Monroe, La.
You sound like a Blind Joe scholar yourself, so I bet you have read Gayle Dean Wardlow's "Chasin that Devil Music" book, possibly the greatest book on unknown southern blues ever written. He reseached a great bit on ol' Blind Joe, and what is most interesting is that he started off on acoustic before the Great Depression and ended his life playing the electric guitar....not bad for a guy who survived a blast of buckshot to the face! I think he is buried in Richwood Cemetery
@gootenslog Sorry to say, I havn't read the book you mention, but some others. Now I'm eager to get one copy of it ! Do you think its possible to get one. Perhaps Amazon.com has it ? Or somewhere else ?
However, its a very good comment and I thank you for that and for listening !
Amazon should have it....or maybe Wardlow has a website as well. It is a collection of his articles for Blues magazines as well as original stuff as well. He focuses alot o King Solomon Hill and Blind Joe Reynolds, both of whom frequented north La, which made it most intersting for me.
It is fantastic to have met other cool people online who like these guys. We are a very rare breed, to say the least, but at the same time makes us super-cool!!!
I wonder if the Ida Cox tune "Four Day Creep" came before this song and Arthur was referring to Ida...or if Ida's tune came later and she was referring to this song?
Interesting how similar the Cream version actually was to this original recording. Basically all they did was electrify it. Still their version probably sounded very modern almost 40 years later.
You are right, the Cream version as well as others are very similar to this original.
I use to say a good song always survive, if good artists do a cover. I have Cream's version with E Clapton too, but I prefer originals, cause that's what my channel is all about !
@Sumokurt1 It is possible to give enough soul today... You are just playing into another stereotype of the times. It's possible... But society is too sucked into teen pop whatevers to notice the ones putting their heart and soul into it... But they are still there.
@MrArdvarkz Well, in a different context maybe, but I don't know of any sharecroppers living in a country shack, do you? So there's no way that particular attitude and quality of life can be replicated.
@MrArdvarkz Well, in a different context maybe, but I don't know of any sharecroppers living in a country shack, do you? So there's no way that particular attitude and quality of life can be replicated. Otis Redding was incredibly soulful, but in a different way. And as great as they were, if you listen to Muddy or Wolf closely you can detect a slight falling off from where the musicians were at in Mississippi.
@Sumokurt1 Eric Clapton tried abd did a great job but not like the orig. Its so hard to duplicate the mindset of blind and black back in those days.cant even imagine.
@bakedsushi Thanks for your good comment. You're so right ! Many have tried to duplicate the old Bluesmen and Women, but to my knowledge, nobody has succeded. Perhaps Eric Clapton, Cream, is the Best one doin this effort !
@kickingmule Hey Bro....cool side note, when Jimmy Rodgers was commissioned to make blues records by his label, they wanted him to do exactly this...re create. That was so white americans could buy this music and not support folks like Mr Reynolds. Jimmy told Muddy Waters 6yrs before Muddy left the south, they made me recreate but I couldnt but I sold anyway. So sad but true whites would not buy RACE records even in the 1950s hence Pat Boone Vs. Little Richard
@kickingmule Keep collecting so folks like me can smile in amazement. I am such a blues nut it almost makes me sick. Look up Royer, American D9 "ED WOOD" model, RCA Varacoustic....these microphones were popular in the times of these scratchy soul stirring recordings. Interesting enough they are available for rent and with the right equiptment one ould get close to the 1920-1938 sound. Vac tubes must be used with these types of mics.

The sheer rhythm of the man, no-one not even Ry Cooder sounds like this today.Incredible.
