Canned Heat borrowed from this... see Big Road Blues and bullfrog blues

[kimonui]

[qtofdog]

A wonderfully accurate interpretation. gotta love a woman who appreciates Mr. McTell!

[JhonnyDaemon]

I'm back to hear it again. I love this song in general, but you got it right up there with Mr. McTier.

[JhonnyDaemon]

11 people know no blues.

[daviemcf]

[polo339]

i love that. Are you playing in opentuning ?

[compass4853]

Yikes Girl! That was damn sweet cookin'. Where do you play now banjo girl?

[aquecedoroleo]

more women should be in Blues scene.

[abfab114]

This is brilliant. I would love to know what tuning you are using and how you leart this. I can't fida a tab that sounds anything like the original. Your version sounds spot on. Thanks for sharing the magic of Willie McTell

[LittleBrotherBlues]

I loved it!!! You have an amazing gift !

[tomohiko315]

Such a beautiful voice. i really like your play.

[EyesShineLikeTHC]

i watched all your videos and was almost brought to tears, you play and sing so beautifully. im in love with the blues and you do so well a tribute for it. i would love if you played some Lightnin Hopkins

[MrWillBury]

Lady you got the blues running through you,i love it

[MonsieurMadeleine]

Do you have any way to find out where your playing live? Or do you play live? I'd love to see a show. Just wondering if there's a facebook page or something that gives info for gigs and schedules.

[letranger86]

damn. you're a skilled guitarist as well. dude u should be on itunes.

[shadyhomie]

I think that laugh at 2:02 might have just made my day. :)

[12stringguy]

Excellent!!! Five Stars! You are VERY good! Lovely voice and great playing.

[scx493x]

That is proper blues.

[myloveschanging]

man your cool, god i wish my girlfriend was into blind willie mctell then i wouldnt have to put up if whatever she listens to, and man if she could play statesboro blues like you i would propose to her.

[mstrxpldr]

I just found this song recently and your version. It took a tear from my eye but then I could close them and just drift away. Thank you so very much and keep playing and singing.

[Chrisnyc36]

What tuning are you using?

[Bdiddly1]

i think im in love with you!

[jlblues4u]

What guage strings were you using on the resonator? You sound great!

[jehovahuponyou]

NO!

[samsharpeye]

Im an 18 year old guy from England, randomly discovered the blues through Nirvana's performance of 'where did you sleep last night' performed famously by Ledbelly... I've found a music that I love, and this makes me feel a lot.

[mlharnett]

That was fantastic. Been a favorite of mine since I first heard Blind Willie McTell.

[darcscorpion]

1. Is that a resonator I see? 2. You play this very well and your technique is great. 3(critique). It seemed like you were just kind of played this song, you didn't have much soul in it. Not a terrible thing just something to work on.

[midianpart2]

ill bet you practiced that laugh it was adorable everthing you put into this damned magneto is priceless wish i could say i knew you more than the little bit you let on

[JakeRaytheRounder]

Your voice just sobered me up. Mighty perty!

[joramba]

dude, listen to this one more time, and see, that is different,...really rock bules, and, you know, thats the the way

[BWMcT]

I love it!

[TomCaswellMusic]

What tuning is this in?

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

ah love this song...you do a great cover of it.

great voice!

[DarumaXIV]

Very nicely done..Willie would love it, I'll bet.

[debliscious]

totally origial version - love it

[yanis3]

the laugh was adorable, but this is very lovely to listen to, you should be proud.

[mindsheep]

lovely.. really sweet

and i don't compliment much

[nickersthekid]

I guess it wouldn't be the blues without blue curtains, thanks for this, i like the way the you messed up but smiled and kept going.

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

This is like taking a trip roung your house. :)

[Jmb6121]

great playing, nice voice...Willie would be proud, but DO something about those blue curtains!!!!!  Just kidding. Nice job.

[slodki111]

what an amzingly beautiful tribut to blind willie, your voice is amazing xx

[TheMrOpli]

Who says country blues is dead. It has thousands of adherents keeping the faith.

[osvelhos]

See: Os Velhos da Montanha

[karmabites1]

Great Job!!!! I love Blind Willie. What open tuning are you using?

[IBG67]

[pamelahayes913]

I really enjoy your playing and singing.It makes me happy seeing someone doing justice to a Blind Willie McTell song and I hear something special in your playing.Please keep it up. Eugene Huggins.

[deltabilly1]

[zorbazig]

@deltabilly1  She's a gift from heaven...

[frogged1979]

[namelesswildness]

Amazing! I am so jealous of you.

[SirPwn4lot]

Is this Bella from Twilight?

On the bright side, it was great.

[fenderosa]

I like this song so much!

[climberjde]

I love you

[bngbraz2]

liked the smile...;-) wondered if you ever did that. good picker and "grinner." have enjoyed your songs.

[hooty29340]

You smiled once, when you had that one itty bitty flub. You have a very nice smile. You could use that more often. lol Great singing and playing. U go girl!

[mikeynails]

I love how you kept this take, even with the botch at 2:05. Makes it classic! Great job on Crow Jane, too. I showed that one to my ten-year-old daughter.

[shittybangbang321]

you did not learn this by ear....nice try...

[EblockShorty]

@shittybangbang321 Hey Mr Tybangbang321, or may I call you Shit? You are talking out of your ass and your ass don't know nothing. This woman is a musician not some lame-ass (doncha just love American cussin'?) entertainer looking at dots. She hears; she plays. Simples!

Keep the faith, miss, you are the real deal. If you ever come to the UK I can get you some nice little gigs where you'll get the respect you deserve. Come in the summer and we'll do some festivals...

[mahalie23]

I wish I could play from ear, so far, far from that! What a great talent to have, love this song :D

[Poboywake]

Very nice... are you in LA?

[tinpanalley67]

I love your "from ear" version! Very accurate! I wonder why guitarists always ask for tabs. Maybe they're earless. =) - Peace, George from Ukraine

[poondoggin]

props good work

[christymaryann]

Nice.



[platoccid]

You are so good! I love all these songs from the old recordings and you're playing them sooo right!

[Ilonadixie]

I love this! Keep it up

[hobartquins]

That was absolutely fantastic - love that song - love your version.

[Dookiebutt47]

[inputseeker]

[arbonac]

[blyndzenyth2]

Amazing song, and an a spot one version of it!!

[RumAndCodeine]

Mi Amour!

Such a damn pretty sound.

[MrMactell]

going up the countrieee tell me do u wanna go...hah great job. I love it

[kingsindiandefence]

First few bars you sound like Joan Baez...can't be bad.

[OKKOKA]

not bad ..you should do gigs!

[kingsindiandefence]

Christine, I think you have untapped glory in that voice, but everything you do just sounds great. There's almost something incongruous about your voice and some of these songs, yet it works. It's like you shape the voice to the songs more than the songs to the voice. The very best it works in the ones I listened to is Richland Woman Blues which you make your own. These are just opinions I'd take into a record store with me. But i'd definitely buy.

[mcob1]

what key was that--i'm constantly working on drop d alaq bromberg--almst theree.

[monkeywrench890]

Awesome I wish I could sing as good as you.

[miekerijn]

She is an adorable bluesprincess, she is!!

[sean30eire]

Amazing.....gotta hear you do Blind Willie's Searching The Desert For Blues aka Lord Send Me An Angel Down aka Talking To You Mama (sames tunes different keys n lyrics).....thanks for the videos

[sandwich451]

great sound! I liked when she made a mistake; I saw her pretty smile.....

[kakature]

Holy Mackerel!

[custino22]

sublime

[dessieclive]

mean moody and magnificent try listin 2 a littly early elvis and add 2 ur feelin

[sandwich451]

sounds great!

the guitar almost sounds like blind willie's 12 string

[mikekivinen]

Your playing and singing are wonderful. This is a very moving and soulful homage to Blind Willie McTell. I hope to hear more of your music--on CD or live in concert!

[onearmcowboy]

loved the little laugh in the middle but really enjoyed your voice and playing also...enchore...

[beaumontkeene]

[valuta]

[6stringedLoser]

[GibbyGoba]

Very Nice!

[sillykidssong]

[Chickenhawk9932]

Great playing - I don't feel the voice as much.

[aldhelme]

[aviatoreyes]

brown curley hair = intellegence and philosophy.

[fallfrukt]

Biometrics is a slippery slope to be walking down.

[aviatoreyes]

ohh she got the resonator!

[Namdor2012]

Great playing , very pleasant and your in the zone..

[sillykidssong]

cool playing, lady...........

[bluescountryfolk]

really good, great talent. Sounds like a front porch in the deep south.

[b46424]

That was quite entertaining, you have a very pleasant voice

[maddoggirl]

Gorgeous version of one of my favourite songs, and the one which introduced me to the blues. Nice to see I'm not the only young woman who loves the old blues :D

[LETRS]

It makes me so happy to hear another young person with a solid interest in this great american music. You play it proper...Keep picking girl, dont let it this music fade away!

[jballard459]

Good Lawdy, the girl is good. I suspect Willie would be proud. She needs a 12 string though. Great technique and obvious love for the blues.

[nailswood]

I forgot to ask: are you about ready for the bottleneck slide? You got everything else going, so why not, you are good enough.

[nailswood]

good playing and good voice! guitar sounds real good. just curious, how did you get exposed to this kind of music?

[LordOfDSmotPoking]

will you marry me?

[1039centi]

I'm Feeling It.

[MightyAlz]

It's amazing that every single post seems to mention the fact that your a woman...still, pretty good playing!

[Pitsku]

Great stuff. Sent by my son. Will try and find some more.

[joramba]

Hi, beauty.

It's me again.

You playing this music is the best wake up dreem i ever had.

[markdir]

lovely. keep at it. so many people overwork this song,but you keep the heart of this song.thank you

[bassmaneadg]

WOW......... You got it..........

[whoareyou342]

Even angels play the Blues.

[irelephant]

A very nice relaxed style but a lot of work has been done to get such an authentic country blues picking style. And then there's a natural gift in your voice. The gift is a beautiful sound that people will pay money to hear. Keep a-goin' sweetness.

[elscampos]

I don't mean to sound creepy at all, but I fell in love with you just a bit after watching this.

[freemariner]

I hate to repeat what everyone else says but you are truly amazing. Fantastic playing and soulful singing! You've condemned me to a month of listening to Blind Willie McTell records non stop. :-)

[antman0719]

Very nice choice of song and great voice and playing! Keep it up!!

[wildmonkeyguitar]

wow, all by ear huh? You are probably one of the best female guitar players I have seen. Better than most of the guys too! lol . It's cool to see a girl play like that and your voice is awesome too. Kinda reminds me of Joan Baez. Keep at it. You are talented!

[fretkillrfan]

That was choice!

[hoogerbooger72]
