"Canned Heat Blues" Tommy Johnson Houston Stackhouse

[sloopjonboswell]

Clapton is a poser. Just like buddy below said. Fellow won the white guy blues lottery. You have to be poor and destitute to play the blues properly. Anyone else who says otherwise is fake.

Who is this?

[GuitarMirth]

"Canned heat" is those sterno flames used to keep food trays warm. They contained alcohol. Folks used to pour it through a slice of bread to filter it & then drink it. Hard times.

[southernrevband]

I would give anything to go back in time to jam with this guy!! Awsome footage! trhanks for posting it!!!

[guitarzan426]

So great!! H.S. is playing in standard tuning. I believe Tommy Johnson played in drop D, which is a convenient way to play "Canned Heat Blues."

What film is this from---is this from a documentary? There's "Cool Water Blues" on the Vestapol, but is there any other footage of Houston or with Nighthawk jammin together?

This is great, the voice the guitar he's justice to that song.

[mizterblack]

way better than eric 'crap'ton

[jennolund]

@mizterblack so how many time have you managed to play with bb king?

[TiCReMiXTaC1]

@mizterblack wtf eric clapton one of the best musicians ure just jealous that u play like shit

[GuitarMirth]

@TiCReMiXTaC1 Eric Clapton is "blues" for the masses. He's more of a poseur than an original. This man here is an original. I've been playing guitar for 35 years.

[TiCReMiXTaC1]

@GuitarMirth its nice that you play so long really,but i never saw a guitarist that dont like clapton its just unnormal i think haha

[FaustyFob]

[galaxyrock]

@FaustyFob

I believe he's in dropped D.
