what a talented brother. how do you do all that stuff at one time? he's hoppin', too. this ain't a slow tempo. plus, that playin is really some down home boogie. get it, doctah!
It's unusual for me that a performance would make me want to tap my feet, jump, and cry all at the same time, but this does it! I know the guitar isn't the main focus here, but is he playing Open G tuning?
Another great example of a man and the blues he's doing it all on his own and it sounds great, I am myself a harmonica player and recently got frustrated with not being in a band so watched things like this and now just do it myself
I love this one. I thought Dr. Ross could really play. This song made me want to "BOOGIE" along wit the music. I also thoght that he should have gained more rights and respect back then for his music, being that he did record with SUN Records in Memphis, TN.
Nope, it's definitely called Boogie Disease. Arhoolie bought the tapes direct from Dr Ross in May 1972 and that's what was the original recording of this song was listed as (according to sleeve notes of Arhoolie CD371)
I know "Boogie Disease" and yes, the tune is the same, but these are obviously (mostly) Little Junior Parker lyrics. The original version of Boogie Disease are definitely different.
Dr. Ross has always been one of my favorites, for two reasons: perfect tone--that wheezing country sound--and his own distinctive bounce-groove. He's an underappreciated player. Thanks much for posting this.
Yeah, I remember you talking about him in one of your Harp lessons. And was so happy that someone out there could break it down and teach his style a bit. Blues and boogie from detroit is one of my all time favorite cd's. it's live as well. We need more video's of him posted. If you got anymore dr ross tips i would love to hear em.
Saw him live at the Marquee in London in the early seventies. This doesn't do him justice; he was awsome. Deserves to be up there with the Blues Greats
One of the best!
