You guys should keep profanity out of your posts. Have respect for others and especially the kids who enjoy youtube. Don't you know by now that when you abuse a privilege, eventually that privilege is taken away and you ruin it for everybody. Posting here is a privilege, not a right.
@ytoobdood I agree with you 100%. The original poster simply put up a harmless lovely old video of a good musician performing a very well known old song (no more no less). I don't understand why things need to get so out of hand over this innocent deed. If I can't find something positive to say about any Youtube video, I simply say nothing at all. It's a shame that faceless anonymous people take advantage of these facts to abuse and insult each other so much.
@PonytailRuth I think most of the people with the attitudes are teenagers. It's too bad they want to negate and belittle. I believe most of this kind of behavior comes out of frustration. They need a place to vent and do it anonymously. Most likely, they are good kids.
QUE BUENO ES CUANDO EL HOMBRE CREA LA MÚSICA Y NO HACE QUE LA TECNOLOGÍA LA CREE POR EL, PORQUE HAY ES CUANDO LA MÚSICA SE DESHUMANIZA , DEJA DE SER ARTE.
The true answer to why there has been a decline in music is technology, if it werent for computers speeding up everything and making anything accessible then average people wouldnt go out and believe they can make music. No soul, no struggle, no good.
There are plenty of great musicians out there. You just don't ever hear them on the radio or see them on tv because big record execs in suits who think they know music better than all of us would say it "doesn't sell", which I find hilarious because all those dudes from the British invasion did incredibly well for themselves and were all heavily influenced by blues musicians such as Lightnin'. Sadly many of those bluesmen couldn't say the same due to the racial climate in the U.S. in those days.
The difference for me is that Blues are emotions and real life feelings expressed through music.
It has nothing to do with money.
But for the modern music industry (in general) they are revenue driven...They try to please people instead of sharing what they are feeling through their music....
please do not generalize "all black people" blues and rap are music from the black experience, when "white people" began pouring money into the music thats when it moved away from the real black experience, rap became an acceptable medium to describe what was going on in tha hood. if Lightnin' Hopkins was born 40 yrs l8tr he would have been a rapper
Don't know. How did white folks go from Bix Beiderbecke to Justin Bieber?
I would blame the record labels, mostly. But I would also have to observe that there weren't too many white folks listening to this music when it was being made.
Similarly, I suspect that there are more than a few black folks that don't much care for rap.
@nicholasbhicks Black folks left the rural areas and moved to the city to find a better life. Rap was part of a changing lifestyle. Urban blacks were leaving the cotton field (and it's music) behind. "That rap garbage" at least the GARBAGE part, is a result of white-owned labels pumping money into the image of the Ni__a we see and hear today. Much of the buying audience consists of suburban kids trying to piss off their parents etc.
@nicholasbhicks It hasnt all been garbage, although nearly all rap today lacks lyrical substance and musical quality. I'd love to see contemporary musicians (of all colors) take a big step back to this sound. ...doubt mainstream pop culture's stereotyping it as "hick" or whatever would allow it to gain any momentum though.
@nicholasbhicks Thanks to big corporation money and art has been drowned out by corporate greed. Spend enough money you can dictate what the public gets to see and hear (as we're reminded by politics).
@nicholasbhicks time is the essence of change. I love lightenin and the blues, I just love them, but somehow I can't just deny the change and I've learnt to enjoy the difference.
@nicholasbhicks its the same fucking thing you idiot, it's music from one generation to another showing the social changes and reflecting the minds of the people. you think this was approved when it first came out? no it wasnt, beatles rolling stones took it marketed it and played it out, hip hop is just a bunch of poor people from south bronx making music from what they had = record players, school cuts made it impossible to learn any instruments so fuck off
@MrSkeegeedawg I'm 14. I've lived in the Southern part of Mississippi half my life. I move a lot, because my dad is in the Army. YOu don't really need to live a rural area to feel or understand the blues, even though I know exactly where you are coming from.
@vanzeposmith910 thanks. there are still small isolated towns in the deep south where blacks still know their place and who's really in charge. i live in one of those places. it's called hawkinsville,ga....now that's the blues for your ass
@MrSkeegeedawg I live in one of those towns. My entire family lives there. It's called Lucedale Mississippi. Guess what? It's in the deep south too. I don't fell you have to be a southerner to enjoy the blues. B.B. King went to Russia and Tokyo back in the 70's and they couldn't get enough of the blues.
@vanzeposmith910 i love those ole black negro bluesman. they went through hell during jim crow. it's this new generation of lazy gang banging piece of shit niggers that i don't like. they're destroying the fabric of america
@AssassinSteven Sounds like typical denial to me. White boy bands were huge in the 90s, and you could definitely call it a movement. There are just as many white artists with autotuned pop singles today as there are any other race. By the way, I'm white and I still manage to see arguments from both sides. You should try it, you'll probably learn far more than you think.
@nicholasbhicks I'm annoyed when I find comments like this. When blues first propagated out of the deep south in the states no white man had the time for it, let alone was it even considered an art form. I wouldn't be surprised if in sixty years time middle-aged white men started re-discovering old hip-hop records. You can't be annoyed with progression and change, music is relative to the time. Yes I am a massive blues fan but I think it's more important to be a fan of music in general!
@nicholasbhicks white guys used to call the blues garbage too, maybe in 20 years someone will be sayin "how black people move from rap to this new shit", you got to understand that black people are always movin and makin new music some we like some we dont, i dont enjoy rap very much but i respect the fact that they are always innovating thanks to that we have the blues, jazz, rock etc...
@diegocostarica21 my great grandpa was taught how to play the guitar by a blues player. my grandpa was a coal miner starting when he was only 12 and there was a man that played blues and folk at the company store and he taught him how to play this was way back over 80 years ago when most whites would have hated on this music so i guess hes were i get my taste for this kinda music
@nicholasbhicks actually "black folks" went from this to Rock n Roll Rhyhm & blues(R&B) soul motown funk rap came outta funk music but rap was truly born outta poverty/lack of musical resorces and a bunch of outa date disco beat machines
Lighntin was the Natural, music just flowing with endless cool ideas. Here he is tuned up a whole step so capo on the 2nd if you want to play along using these chords. I posted a lesson on this tune using licks I learned from Phil Boroff who knew Lighntin.
@dadgadable Haha. AC/DC is blues inspired. lol. I'm not saying anything bad, I know that blues lead to rock'n'roll, but you don't call grape a raisin while it is still a grape.
@NateHail the point is. This song is so close to how rock n roll and hard rock sounds today. Its all there, in one tiny song. A brilliant piece this is.
@taurtue no matter how much music i listen to, discover and rediscover, from lil wayne and pantera to soggy bottom boys and led zeppelin, I always come back to lightnin. i f*ckin love this guy!
i cant understand the 2nd verse 00:58-1:10 and in the 3rd verse1:53-1:59. I've looked up lyrics for this song but they don't match at all with what i'm hearing. Any one knows whats up let me know love this song.
@xXGatlinKillerXx He does stray somewhat from the original lyrics you find on the web. I believe 00:58-1:10 is "Happy your man is gone" and 1:53-1:59 is "Now turn your lamp down low"
hey everybody come check out the lightnin hopkins stuff i just posted. theres only 3 videos but i couldent find 2 of the songs anywhere on youtube and the other one i found in bad quality
My dream would in life would have been to immerse myself with the old black blues players of old to absorb as much feel, soul and rhythm I could. I watched 10 Days Out with KWS and thought how fortunate he was to have had the opportunity considering a year later 4 or 5 of those artists died after the DVD was made. Now I try to get to as many blues shows to catch those artists before they are called on.
Caan't you keep it to yourself? If you have a deep scar, you usually don't show it off.

@NateHail the point is. This song is so close to how rock n roll and hard rock sounds today. Its all there, in one tiny song. A brilliant piece this is.

Lightnin is my all time favourite blues player, none feels the blues as he does. None.

i cant understand the 2nd verse 00:58-1:10 and in the 3rd verse1:53-1:59. I've looked up lyrics for this song but they don't match at all with what i'm hearing. Any one knows whats up let me know love this song.

@xXGatlinKillerXx He does stray somewhat from the original lyrics you find on the web. I believe 00:58-1:10 is "Happy your man is gone" and 1:53-1:59 is "Now turn your lamp down low"

he's saying
'I believe your man done gone
He left the county farm he had his shackles on now baby please don't go.'
and ' Now don't you call my name, you got me way down here wearing a ball and chain now baby please don't go'

My dream would in life would have been to immerse myself with the old black blues players of old to absorb as much feel, soul and rhythm I could. I watched 10 Days Out with KWS and thought how fortunate he was to have had the opportunity considering a year later 4 or 5 of those artists died after the DVD was made. Now I try to get to as many blues shows to catch those artists before they are called on.
