Roots of Blues -- T-Bone Walker „Mean Old World"

[rhombusskullvsteal]

amazing

[Samwow99]

oh yes...

[Jetluffyq8]

i was thinking why did they call the dlc "old world blues" i think i heard this song before, i never thought they meant "mean old world" by t-bone walker even thought it's 1 of my favourite songs shame on me

[XTRAKRUNCHY]

AARON T BONE WALKER THE GREATEST OF THE GREATS , ASK BB

[Artokaas]

0.21 till 0.31 is one of the best solo's I've ever heard

[monkeytown1000]

Influence on Chuck Berry is obvious. What you can't see is his moves on stage, including playing his guitar really low, behind his back, between his legs etc which also influenced Chuck's 'duck walk' and Jimi Hendrix (Berry said his other main influence was Louis Jordan - which can be heard in his witty, clever sometimes amusing lyrics).

BB King bought an electric guitar after hearing T-Bone's 'Stormy Monday' too.

[Aurumlord]

LONG HAVE WE WATCHED!

[JuaNandORLY]

GET YOUR BRAIN BACK!

[33Hotson]

[Roque023]

Old World Blues

[MaistrePathelin]

@Roque023 I see someone who played Fallout NV a bit too much and got curious about its dlc's title :-)

[pushiwallboy]

Yes you can really hear how he influenced Chuck - and a few other people too I should think{:D

[Acendio]

I bet whoever hit the dislike button did it by accident

[cyclops1092]

@Acendio 2 dislikes? lame..

[Acendio]

@cyclops1092 lol I know.... I learned alot from the web... like how to make real life nuka cola and all of the variations for them... if you want to know a couple of them just check my videos

[MrBlueroads]

I see who Chucks been listening too.

[garysaddleback]

Well, folks . . . does anyone know the title of the T-Bone cut that has the lines, "Messing 'round with a woman is just like droppin' an atomic bomb--if you don't know what you're doin' boys, they will blast you to Kingdom Come"?

Gary in Arizona

[SleepyJukebox]

@garysaddleback I think it's called "You Don't Love Me"

[Atomicflash500]

Wow sounds like Chuck Berry..I guess he got his stuff from T Bone..wait he did say that somewhere..

[Kynatics]

Finger-licking good blues! Thank you T-Bone, thank you poster!

[absurdplanet]

Lovely track--T Bone was the greatest! 1942!!! C'mon, who was playing or singing better Blues back then. He almost singlehandedly invented electric Blues guitar.

Pity he doesn't get the respect he deserves.

[powellallan]

Would a Barney Kessell Gibson have been around in 1942? Anyone know?

[RectaISpew]

Ah tell ya dat nigga sho can play

[rogml]

who needs overdrive ??

[mesa3131]

BB KIng also says he learned all his best moves from T-Bone.

[niarchosjf]

O som ta limpo,não se encontra mais disso hoje em dia não...raridade

[BBHRalle]

nice one

[MrSoulSamCooke]

I like that!!!

[scafeets]

That's a Gibson Barney Kessell Custom. It does look a lot like the new Johnny A models.

[smugglermalc]

What's the guitar in the pic? Looks a bit like the new Gibson "Johnny A".

[Dmacc502]

Don't get any better.

[vinegaroon1]

Chuck himself has done an excellent version of this. It is in a film made near Chuck's 60th birthday ( also featuring Clapton, Keith Richard, Linda Ronstadt, Etta James, etc., however I am not certain Chuck's version was ever released as a recording. Chuck really has a bang-up version of it.

[akira523]

Miles Davis and T Bone have the same birthday. Epic

[dearmalika]

Fantastic!

[sixaxle]

There is, it's called Jazz!! DIG IT...

[Jetluffyq8]

@sixaxle actually it's blues not jazz

[Asydeshow]

There are those who would carry the torch, man.

Or perhaps, shoulder the burden.

[musikfanat]

I'm crying!

[c8uy]

does any one know the name of the song in the movie repo man.

[au574]

Had to fave this!!!

[SJ9336JE]

typical elements of Chuck Berry playing Chuck took here from T Bone Walker.

[skybendu]

B to the B.

[jazzyjane58]

Undescribably wonderful.

[bluevocals]

he's the one who connected jazz and blues better than anyone else.....i love this music so much,eternal joy!

[beowulf3075]

Class, sheer class.  Still get shivers listening to his rifts, after quite a few years !! Great band. Thanks for the posting.

[clifton062]

I can play the blues like that. im in a band called are you crazy? were from san marcos tx. check it out

[islandfunhouse]

@clifton062 T-Bone used alot of jazz phrasing...and jazz harmonies....merged with the language of 50's style jump blues. Further, he had a unique recognizable voice.  I don't really hear any of that in your playing.

[HelioJenne]

He was a genius. Simply that!

[boxingin]

@HelioJenne Yes he was!

[borntobewildpascal]

ya lage a mon arriere grand pere ..... lui aussi est née en 1910

[alexmejia26]

awesome!

[Juliasblues]

Beautiful ! Can a voice get more clear than that ? !....Thank you for this Post !

[mystro810]

wasnt John Lee Hooker the first to put a mic in his guitar?.. his singing voice sounds similar to Robert Johnson. maybe its just the production and style of the day

[Asymmatrix]

Play it you dead motherf**er!!

[DannyWrigley]

hahaha whattt

[Bterms]

does anyone think this song would help me seduce a latino hooker because of the cultural background?? i dont want to pay!

[haashond]

Cool upload & with all the info n shit in the comments

[motreby]

He also took guitar lessons apparently form jazz great Charlie Christian....I agree the first electric blues player that could also play a melody and not just guitar riffs....!!!

[dd1yr]

@motreby

Christian and T Bone used to play together back in the day, doing gigs together when they were young and swapping bass and guitar duties :]

[shredder5816]

Mr. Jellyman99 Where do you think Chuck learned his craft !!!...

[whereisthedignity]

Amen.

You can absolutely hear T-Bone's influence on Chuck Berry.

T-Bone was the first, baby.

[sonbonds]

This is one of the very first blues played on electric guitar. T-Bone was really the innovator. He almost invented the electric blues, because no one played this way before him. I love his music!

[jessegguitar]

@NathanMantle ... very good young grasshopper

[srvfan79]

I grew up listening to his music... the master of the guitar. Thx for sharing!

[muscadinewine]

like the lil walter version way better

[MrJellyman99]

bit slow for me

[withoutremorse]

Yeah good for you

[MrJellyman99]

i prefer chuck berry

[withoutremorse]

Apples and oranges, my friend.

[MrJellyman99]

what does that mean?

[jessegguitar]

@MrJellyman99 ... some like different kinds of fruit,. dont forget robert johnson

[MrJellyman99]

i agree. i am starting to like him acctualy

[kathyfromtexass]

I love that "walkin bass", man, to have lived in that era........

[tolga7t]

oh yes.

[cvillemag]

I dig T-Bone! 5*

[tolga7t]

One of the best of T-Bone.

[kon17051951]

Балдежная вещь!Просто водочка под шашлычок!Или жаркая девка под бочок!

[pallmallsanreno]

Canned Heat's version is hard to beat by anyone

[stellapitbull]

you cant be kidding comparing canned heats version to t-bones ???? --- come on

[pallmallsanreno]

If you wanna stray away for the acoustic a bit...

[withoutremorse]

This is electric :B

[CosmicChickenNo1]

the walking Bass allways reminds me of a rainy day.

[Aminharp]

yes i got that feeling too!! iamgining yrself in yr Car with this Music in the Middle of the Rain!!

[JoeFelice]

This is a later photograph than the audio. It's a Gibson Barney Kessel, which was  produced 1961-74. At the time of this recording T-Bone played an ES-250.

[grozengyz]

Real Blues Master!

[star0320]

heavy blues:)

LIKE IT!!

Stenis

[DROTTOHARRIS]

With John Hurt Blind Lemon etc and all those guys I would include Blind Blake sometimes when he does a solo its like 10 different riffs that EACH riff has been used as the Basis of a song and he does it while he plays bass lines and talks.

[UnAmericanBandstand]

How true it is. One of my favorite songs.

5***** & saved to faves.

Thanks for posting. =))

[SJ9336JE]

Chuck Berry very much adapted from this this style.

[srvfan454]

I'm on a mission to learn all I can bout the blues!

[FMunro]

that will be a long, but amazing journey

[JosephNScott]

"I'm on a mission to learn all I can bout the blues!" I'd suggest you start by listening to blues musicians who were born before 1900, and then go forward from there. These folks (among many others) were born before 1900:

Henry Thomas, Frank Stokes, Cow Cow Davenport, Peg Leg Howell, John Hurt, Furry Lewis, Lead Belly, Luke Jordan, Gus Cannon, Robert Wilkins, Charlie Patton, Bo Carter, Andrew Baxter, Elizabeth Cotten, Daddy Stovepipe, DeFord Bailey, Lemon Jefferson, Tommy Johnson, Bill Moore.

[vauxhall908]

look on here for blues leggends write down all the names and start studing good listening

[ichisatori]

"may your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view."

[inthebluescrossroad]

you should listen to Jr kimbrough. musicians today are becoming popular with his style (kinda like the stones and led zep, cream etc back in the day), sounds so raw, the rawest blues ive ever heard.

[DjGils]

What a legend! was he partial to a few steaks -why's he called T-bone?

[whest]

He's called T-Bone because his middle name was Thiboux.

Aaron T Walker

[zappr5]

Yup.

'Bone > Chuck Berry > nearly every rock guitar player since.

[inthebluescrossroad]

haha you hear that line chuck berry borrowed @ 00:28

[JilaX]

Are you kidding me?

CHUCKY BERRY, got it from T-Bone!

Look it up man, Chuck was a big fan of T-Bone's, and it's certainly where he got lots of his style.

[inthebluescrossroad]

thats what i meant :P ,read again.

[JilaX]

Oh, sorry xD

Must've been a bit too tired when reading that xD

[skiK2skis]

so clean so clean......why isn't there anyone with this kind of sound today??????

[inthebluescrossroad]

its all synths and computers doin the work now. overproduced music i think...

[lior13xlr]

@skiK2skis cus the rock killed it and have you ever herd me

[ckchesh]

@skiK2skis

im workin on it

[fanofprotopic]

@skiK2skis because it doesn't sell.

[tnb35]

@skiK2skis because when rock music came to the scene it ruined blues and jazz music... :( in the 70's even Muddy Waters tried to play like Hendrix

[willsmith55]

only 5 comments...

doesn't do it the justice

all the views go to Avril Lavinge

not right

[DaBoyProduction]

Nice music

From holland

[annescordial]

I looooovvvvve T-Bone Walker. He's so smooth!

[focus156]

magic

[JustMeandOnlyMe]

One of my favorites of his. Perhaps the favorite.
