  • Can anyone translate English

  • ey Im young and thats why im shy

  • Génial !!! La chanson était excellente à l'époque et maintenant, une superbe jeune femme nous fait redécouvrir ces moments passés. Superber version et superbe jeune femme. J'adore.

  • team avo deserves ice cream!

  • yes it's Justin on guitar :-)

  • cool I love good company slow music candle lights

  • Is that Justin on Guitar?

  • so I love good company, slow music, candle lights

  • Yawn.....25 years ago, she would have had no chance at a record deal but everything else is so bad today that she seems like a superstar. The Blind Owl is rolling over in his grave on this one. But, the tribute, however lame, is appreciated. Check out the real version by Canned Heat and learn about real blues emotion. She is cute though!! If only she'd stop singing. LOL!

  • meh, original is better, she is cute though :)

    

  • @rhaivaen You mean, she hasn't the "boogie-power" :D. Canned Heat is great and pretty unique, but Katie was good.

  • @sebastianBe1985 She is hot as hell, but simply kills the song to me... go for her if you like it though, cant discuss different tastes :) and someone had better shoot the violinist :(

  • she makes it to jazzy, which imo is bad-bad..

  • @sebastianBe1985 luckily I am allowed to disagree :)

  • only DAVIE JONES could play tambourine like that!

  • This is really good...I just wish they woudl get more into it for a longer version.

  • Joya, excenlente !!! Una voz impecable !!!

  • Too clunky. Got no flow. Why not add banjo?

  • @TaterGumfries really? a banjo? I'd say there's to many instruments there allready. Enough with the drums, piano and bass. Just as when she played at the bottom of the leg on the "Troll-A" Oil rig in the north sea.

  • Not a patch on the original but she gets some credit for picking such a great tune (and being hot)

  • she hasn't the blues feeling...she looks(and sounds)so unconvincing

  • I love this song. I loved the canned heat original but I think she adds something new. The studio versions better. I think it captures the relentless pull of the road...both the rolling rythmn but also the nervous feeling that you're on a journey that just can't stop. If you've travelled, you'll get it

  • love her but this wa s weak

  • Justins goin Off love it..........

  • This is so bland and uninspiring. It's like homogenized blues. C'mon...... I just don't get musicians who make choices like this. This just bores me and that comment below is right, "something is missing:". It's called SOUL as a musician and having a band that can kick it in to add flavor.

  • This isn't a bad cover, but I'm not sure whether it's her or the musicians

  • Canned Heat weren't the first to do this song anymore then Katie was. Bluesman Floyd Jones did it in the 1950s, the Mississippi Sheiks in the 1930s and Bluesman Tommy Johnson recorded it in the late 1920s.

  • personaly, I feel this recording, her singing and everything are just not as artistic and well done as the original. An energy is felt with her, but it is quite redundant and doesnt go well along with this song.

  • ohh look my guitar teacher 0:57

  • if I was one of her musicians, I'd play with a boner all gig long.

  • Hey it's Justin on the guitar!! :D

  • @EuanFox1211 Sandercoe ?!

  • @snackeater45 Hells Yeah!!! What a badass!

  • Katie Melua is a Great Singer with a Great Voice and Great Personality!!!!

  • ouahhhhhhh ça décoiffe un max, entrée au piano géniale, et final super

  • I have 2 records of Canned heat but I like Katie Melua to.Tagsod 919

  • Gut gecovert. Das von Canned Heat aber besser, ist mehr Bad Ass.

  • no life experiences, no pain, no soul, no nothing...bluesless spoiled nerds...

  • Wow. On several levels.

  • Had Canned Heat not been so illfated, it would have been quite "right" for Melua to play this song with them. She is a gifted singer, and really adds something new and good to this song. Her band seems to be very talented too, but their contribution turns it into a cheesy farce - at times it sounds too "wacky happy" in lack of better words. The violin and backupsingers makes no sense to me. Melua hits a really good moodyness in her performance though.

  • I'm proud she is Georgian :)

  • great band,,,who's the "girl" they chose to front for them,,she does a really good job !

  • I give her some credit for covering a great forgotten song, but I still feel she has turned this a bit cheezy and lost the true lonely feeling of this song

  • very cute girl,great production,great musicians,why have i got this feeling it s missing something?

  • She had a lot less voice in this live than in the studio. That's too bad but i guess it's normal, when you're touring. Nice cover though. Good musicians. (Haha, the guitarist is justin, the guy who teach guitar on youtube)

  • Das typische Fräuleingekrächtze. Sowas findet man aber cool heutzutage. Bischen Soul, bischen Bues und klingen wie Duffy wollen sie alle die Trallerpfeifen.

  • Wow, this is the first time I heard of Katie Melua - she's great and a fantastic group of musicians backing her.

  • Comment removed

  • Good to see/hear there are artists like her in this era that can SING!!! and can interpretate Canned Heat's classic tune the way she does.

  • she's my dream woman, lots of black curly hair, big dark eyes, thick juicy lips, a voluptuous body

  • Sing the songs you want to sing Katie, and do it YOUR way. You're a shooting star!

  • Bella versione, anche quella dei Rockets del '78 non è male, un pò più in versione elettrica anni '80 quella li però.

  • Strepitosi...!!!

    

  • good but too refined.

  • uwielbiam!!!!:)

  • great cover,

    but I expected a more personal touch.

    btw. The guitarist is Justin Sanders

  • damn....a new voice for me....hot shizt and hot song!!!! I actually heard this as back ground on an NPR show I listed to...loved her voice and had to find her! Thanks for posting!

  • yeah!!! shit girl sings a classic like its suposed to be!!!!

  • Le charme au féminin...Katie If you are looking for a drummer...

  • Yeh im getting kind of semtimetal.......but still....

  • pretty, good singing, good looking girl. What do you want more??

  • Booh!!! Alan is shifting in his grave...

  • Wer war noch mal Canned Heat? Katie ist die Größte. Basta.

  • this works for me !!

  • The ultimate bird. Naturally stunning.  Good musician. Good voice. Mates with Clapton. Don't get much better than that.

    F@ck Diana Vickers and all these little pop-shites

  • The ultimate bird. Natuirally stunning. Good musician. Mates with Clapton. Don't get much better than that.

    F@ck Diana Vickers and all these little pop-shites

  • Yo that's Justin Sandercoe, one of the two gods of internet guitar lessons!!

  • It's an excellent song for sure. The b&w Canned Heat is probably closer to the original, but I really love the way Katie does it. The drummer is really getting into it too.

  • Excellent interpretation

  • 14 people have no idea who Canned Heat was..............

  • @sgtdarkness1 and you have no idea who willie nelson is ...

  • @Brigglz Sagen mir, ich weiß nicht, wer Willie Nelson würde mir gleichsetzen sage Ihnen, dass Sie keine Ahnung, wer Kraftwerk ist zu haben. Sie wissen, wer Kraftwerk rechts ist? Noch besser ist, wissen Sie, wer Canned Heat ist? Danke für die Antwort auf meinen Kommentar.

  • @sgtdarkness1 traurig ...

  • @sgtdarkness1 who

  • @TheAriiiiiiiiiiiii Pink Floyd........lol

  • @sgtdarkness1 realy? .......and who s pinkfloyd

  • @TheAriiiiiiiiiiiii Have you studied the history of Italy and the amphitheater at Pompeii? Do some research on Wikipedia by typing in Pink Floyd, then you may have a clue as to who they are. One hint: They had an album around 1972 that stayed on the charts for at least 10 years.........bwt I have a playlist on my channel of Pink Floyd if you would care to indulge yourself.

  • @sgtdarkness1 I 'll tell you something...canned heat covered this song...take a look at floyd jones version ;)

  • @Liana5943 Hey, thanks. Yea, I made a comment about eight pm's up from this one about Canned Heat and the Jones version was really good also. Thanks and Peace to you. Surfer Joe

  • Jeff Healy had by far the best cover. Unfortunately i have yet found it on the net. Just in the movie Roadhouse. This one isn't bad. I like watching her shake that ass cute little ass of hers :) But seriously she did a good job.

  • It's a bit funny that everyon has to point out that they're playing covers when it's fairly young and new artist's making them. I saw Kitty Daisy and Lewis playing Going up the country yesterday, and it was the same ramblin about Covers and Canned Heat... So I'm gonna lay it out for you now. Canned Heats versions of Going up the Country and On the Road Again are both covers! And now that you know that you can go to Canned Heats videos and point it out!!

  • This is a great song by Canned Heat but Katie's version is much better. I like to watch her sing it because she puts so much passion in it. Check her out singing "Blues In The Night" a classic by Cab Calloway from the 1940"s. What a talent. I just love this girl.

  • Greatttttttttt

    Look at my last video pleaseee

  • Awsome....

  • Great stuff

  • Stupid copy of that legendary song. This really do suck balls.

  • @Barbegoo

    TELLITLIKEITIS!!!

  • can somebody tell me who made the original of this song?

  • canned heat je pense

  • the title of this song "got" me here, and this "girl" can sing, mixed with that band, it works! "and I ain't got no more to say"

  • soooo good!!

  • Wow she is cute but this sucks....where is the groove, no feeling...

  • Sorry to say but I kinda agree. Well, maybe it doesn't suck but it's all so pretty. Too pretty. She has a lovely voice and she's extremely beautiful. But this one doesn't have the groove, the feeling as you put it.

  • @bobbelibob ...well, if she would had played it like Canned Heat and/or Love Sculpture there wouldn't had been no reason for her to do it all, now would it!?

  • @GreatBonFire No, you're right. It's still boring, though.

  • love that song....... love Katie....

  • we miss you :(

  • she not really able to handle that classic tune

  • @GingerMonster16 you sucker shut your fuckin mouth, she's a very good singer, a very good person and never talk about her that way

  • Kudos that Melua keeps the Canned Heat classic in mind.

    Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson would have loved to be her mouth harp.

  • En klassiker!

  • what a performance from the pianist! does anyone know his name and if he appears in session with anyone else?

  • His name is James Watson

  • Whooooah! :D the first Katie Melua song I like! It's great.

    There's something in her voice that I just don't like, but I can tolerate it better here. And the music's amazing! What a performance! What an atmosphere! :D

  • This song was made from various lines from delta blues singers of the twenties and thirties for eg Charley Pattion "Dirt Road Blues", Tommy Johnson "Canned Heat Blues" where sure enough the band got their name.

  • "Canned Heat" was the name of a drug-like jelly poor people consumed instead of alcohol during the prohibition era. Nowerdays it would be prohibited as "hard and addictible drug". Wilson once sad: "The boogie got me like that drug" I rather would say the name comes from there.

    Cheers

  • Shes amazing

  • I'm a great fan of Canned Heat (especially when boogie-ing with John Lee Hooker) but I'm not so blinded by the Canned Heat original to be unable to enjoy this version too....As for 'Plat, sans émotion, sans voix...' below, Monsieur, I don't think so. This is a spirited enough performance for me ;-)

  • Had the chance to see her in concert twice so far. What an experience. She has a great voice and her presence on the stage is enormous. Looking forward to seeing her many more times.

  • weak voice? what are you comparing her rendition to? and why? the performance was just as exciting as any other.....how can you listen to her and say find fault with her voice??

  • J'aime Canned Heat (et la Géorgie), mais dans cette interprétation Katie Melua ne fait honneur ni à l'un ni à l'autre. Plat, sans émotion, sans voix...
