[gibsonkal]

[zargil]

behind his sunglasses we all live!

to all you otther guitarists ist the world go wild wilds go ilds!!!

[zack44ist]

Are there any particular recordings/cd's someone could recommend me of Snooks? Just found him the other day and I really like it, so I just wanting some recommendations.

[dfdickenson]

@zack44ist get Teasin' You. Every song is good. Snooks in his prime at the height of his powers.

[juan58102]

This man is the best in this kind of music! I like George!

[Chromatype]

Man those guys are setting a DEEP groove

[GrizrazRex]

G&L basses rule!

[bluesborn]

If you can't dig this groove you are officially dead.

[eugenia628]

damn, i miss snooks..

[1blastman]

SNOOKS EAGLIN IS GOD!

[outofthisswirled]

Found this by accident, cool tune and sweet playing

[straydogbluesman]

Yeah, do it Snooks!!!

George has the funk to boot.

[ovehe1950]

One of us is deaf ;-)

[taildragger53]

I keep coming back to this one time & time again because it's PERFECT. Snooks was a master of both rhythm & lead guitar,plus about 20 other styles, and his voice was immaculate.

A unique artist who will always be missed.

[TheVibratory]

how can you not love this?

[tbengal55]

Porter is throwing down on the bass this whole tune. It's a shame he's so low in the mix. This is a truly spectacular recording . . .

[taildragger53]

I keep coming back to this AMAZING video. Pure RAW talent. A thing of the past! What a voice..what a sound !

[eugenia628]

this just keeps getting better...how i miss a night of snooks at the rock and bowl...

[johnnyjolijt]

Their voices sure sound good together!

[gingadbland]

YES! GOOD MEN ALWAYS LIVE FOREVER!! :)

[gingadbland]

i love you snooks!! Thanks to you, I will love my boyfriend FOREVER!! This is for you, JIMMY!! :) I love you and i'm crazy about you, baby!!

[dmdhiker]

31,000 th view. RIP Snooks.



[andreja56]

SNOOKS IS AWESOME

WHAT A MUSICIAN......GEORGE PORTER JR. WHAT A GREAT SUPPORT FROM ANOTHER MASTER.

I WISH I HAD A LUCK TO HEAR HIM LIVE...GREETINGS TO THE GREATEST.

[ronnierayjenkins]

holy moley...snooks lives.

[odunget]

is there anything anyone can say about these guys to justify the quality of the music they made ? simply the best ....

[imstillkickin]

Truth and talent always shine... and the truth is the Guitar Center hang outs who amaze themselves with the two licks they know ... They have neither the soul nor talent to create music they only copy it and add a differnt effect... and most ot the time badly.

Snooks created soul .... RIP our friend

[imstillkickin]

The reason you don't hear this stuff on the radio and in the charts is the wantabees that call themselves musians today you know the ones that hang at guitar center and amaze everyone with their two licks is the suits that now run the industry don't know s from shinola when it comes to real talent they only want to sell to tenny boppers who got the money but not the talent or taste to appericate or play this real music

RIP Snooks you were real and had talent

[ronnierayjenkins]

Snooks, How can I find the words. We always wait too late. I wanted more than anything, to see you play alive. Thanks for the legacy.

ronnierayjenkins

[forgretit]

this guy is so under rated, he is better than the ones we hear of on mainstream

[750tblack]

one of the most talented and inspiring people I've ever seen

[EgerB48]

GO SNOOKS!!!!

[001mcampbell]

Brilliant!!!

It kills me I never got to see Snooks.

Listen to "that certain door" in is great.

[greenpanther21]

i fell in love with this guy ages ago when i first heard 'them bells are ringing' i would discribe this cat as a funk bluesman and that tele has the fear of god in its headstock...the golden era when music was real...

[stan2211stan]

Tele Players - Look at the Headstock!!!

Snooks is playing a Squier Tele!!!

...so the next time that Custom Shop with the superduper after-market uber pickups doesn't sound right....let this video set Ya straight..

[taildragger51]

I keep coming back to this video..it is SO beautiful! This type of natural talent is missing in music today. What a voice. R,I.P Snooks Eaglin.

[revdolaf]

This brother had a great and wonderful soul.....nobody could play or sing quite like him, and no one ever will. I wish someone would post Woody Mann's tribute song "Sweet Baby Snooks" on Youtube

Love n Peace

[stan2211stan]

Snooks Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forever in Our Hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most entertaining Guitarist IMHO in History!!!! Better than all the rest!!!!

I'd rather see snooks with THOSE TWO GUYS than any other Band I ever saw.

Snooks Eaglin went straight to Heaven!!!

[playon51]

@stan2211stan

You said it...

[Tonivelerolongyang]

DE PUTA MADRE

[MightyZoom]

Is that Kenny Aronoff on drums?

[Circus53]

It's Kenneth Blevins, probably best known from The Goners (Sonny Landreth, John Hiatt) and Lil Queenie & the Percolators. He's a tremendous musician.

[RedKruzer]

yes indeed Andy c

thank you 5*

[JDPWNER]

RIP Snooks, you truly are a legend and will be missed.

[taildragger51]

Got that Robert Ward, Ray Sharpe feel to it. Beautifully soulful..i could listen to this all day. Sadly Robert Ward just died a few weeks ago also.

[sleakitweasel]

I've always loved Snooks' playing but to see him do it, it is so surprising! What a strange technique...

But listen to THAT sound, wee runs and such a strong tone from the Telecaster.

Listen to 1:48-1:50 and 2:00 to 2:20

GENIUS!

In fact, this is fantastic: all of it. A great song, soulful vocals and a stinging guitar part.

What a loss to music!

[bigbootband]

The album with this on is called Out of Nowhere and it's great. Sad loss - RIP Snooks.

[giDDRu]

has anyone link of that album with this song?

[Khakal]

was... he was...

[karsten19]

dang snooks is the man!

[loveyourself10]

Ripstick Traces? How about "Lipstick Traces."

Snooks was a true genius and one of the most important musicians in the history of New Orleans. Can't believe I'll never be able to see him again. So sad.

[AMERICANBUS]

what a talent..!...attention white blues guys...look at this guys hands...this is why you will never sound like a black man..,no matter how old your guitar and amp...his fingers are like cigars...and they move like a ballet dancer.....he could play a peavey guitar and amp and smoke any guy around....he was the real deal..

[lucasquirrel]

my heart is broken.. we wont ever see his equal ever again.

he never turned in a bad performance

i love you always, snooks

shally

[nikkizthe1]

just heard about his passing -- sad day for music

this guy will always be one of the greatest .....makes me feel good every time I hear him -----

..........amazing talent

[titicaca321]

Is that Ken Blevins?

[lordkoos]

This looks like the kate 1990s or so. I just got the word he died today. I really loved Snooks, saw him everytime I visited New Orleans.

[shakeysgone]

Rip Snooks

[hazeleyeangle08]

Guys can u imagina being able to listen to this on a daily live? It's a blessing. i can remember sitting on the floor in my mothers living room watching my uncle play.

[wesmatron]

Wow...what a refreshing style of guitar playing. Nice technique.

[bassfiddlesteve]

Great stuff!

[nogoodman]

Nice performance

[shane71880]

snooks is one of the greatest I've had the pleasure of meeting , I got to sit and talk with him for about an hour then he gave me a cd his wife helped him autograph it for me ..he plays guitar better blind than most people with perfect sight do

[hwysixtyone]

SNOOKS DA KING!

[cjb761]
