The Dough Rollers - If The River Was Whiskey

[801Current]

You guys are so good, I saw you open for Bob Dylan when he came to Utah. Hope you guys come back soon!

[defpow]

I just love the chick.....she must have been booted from the group or something....the newer vids don't have her....so I don't watch them...

[Shaikhspeare1]

They were opening up for QOTSA. God they were horrible...

[PsychoholicGremlin]

I saw you guys open for Queens of the Stone Age in Montreal on Mach 27th. You guys are hands down the best blues act i have ever seen in my entire life. Super energetic, super loud, and Malcolm Ford, you have one of the greatest voices I've ever heard.

@PsychoholicGremlin

They played before Queens in montreal?? I hate missing the openers, that would have been a very plesant surprise.

[iSabotage]

@TOMMYd0888 They've been opening for them the whole tour, o:

[mauiwowie405]

Excellent show last night opening up for queens in cleveland-Really nice style-goood form!

[Montijin]

I find it very odd this band is opening for Queens of the Stone Age's 2011 tour. I don't dislike the music, I'm just curious to see the crowd will responsd when they come to a hard rock bands concert and hear country/blue grass music. 

[coldgrass]

Jack, it seems you put a lot of effort in your singing. Are you being expressive or truly straining to achieve a certain effect in your voice? 

[xXzedleppelinXx]

Saw these guys for the first time (probably like a lot of you) at the Mellencamp/Dylan concert, and my god, they were amazing. I can't believe that voice came out of THAT guy (no disrespect intended, his looks are just very deceiving). These guys are the shit.

[randyatrci]

Hey, saw you guys twice at the Edgefield (Portland) and all I can say is wow! Young guys with old souls breathing new life into a forgotten sound. Love the commitment when you sing Malcolm, giving it 100%. Also, nice cover when your kazoo broke on Sat. night! Then Sun. Jack broke a string and covered that as best he could. Keep up the good work guys and hope to see you again.

[BottleOfKit]

Bend, OR loved you guys. I hope you come back.

[MarkoHeart]

I saw you guys open for Bob Dylan, and you rule. I definately love your sound. You rule.

[kamzillah]

@MarkoHeart Hey me too! I was not expecting that voice to come out of that guy but it blew me away. Great band.

[kepeitsimpul]

Gentlemen: I saw you last night in Billings with John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan. I really like your music! Best wishes!

[AlterEgo2010]

@gummybearone, thats probably why most ppl have heard of them, but they're good.

[KawhackitaRag]

Hey guys, you sound great as usual.

I've been researching the origins of some of these tunes. This tune is quite obviously a variation on "Hesitation Blues" which was first published in 1915 (I think) in two different versions crediting either W.C. Handy or the trio of Billy Smythe, Scott Middleton, and Art Gillham. Art Gillham made a nice recording of it, as did Jelly Roll Morton. Capitol released a great piano roll of it, played by Clarence Johnson, I think.

[GSScasual]

Im sure williamsburg would love you

[lozziecap]

I really enjoyed that. Jack, do you like Bob Brozman? I met him once and was so star-struck I couldn't talk to him :-D

[Gummybearone]

They suck...balls. The only reason why the media take them seriously is because 2 of them are children of famous people. Get the f**k off stage!

[KawhackitaRag]

@Gummybearone What don't you like about the Dough Rollers? As a sometime Dough Roller myself, I would be interested in hearing an articulate critique of what you don't like about this. If you can only say that you hate it, but can't explain why, then I'm afraid no one will ever take your opinion seriously.

RAGards,

Andrew Barrett (Dough Rollers pianist and percussionist)

@Gummybearone i dunno, i dont like pigeon holing people because of their background. they is who they is. i think its kind of interesting hearing the social opposites of many of the people who original wrote and performed this style of music and pull it off. it could easily come off as gimicky but doesnt.

[jvilla21]

saw these guys lastnight at spaceland, dope way to end the night!!!

[WillShade]

Some really great clips - and the wonderful assortment of vintage guitars in your band! *sigh*

[FriendOfBeard]

I thought it was brilliant

[daveco1270]

dough rollers are so great live. Everyone should check them out if they get a chance.

[meredithanthraxelrod]

Agree!! You guys are wonderful! I love that you get the right sounds out of the fiddle and guitar, and Malcom, your singing is wonderful. It's so rare anybody sings on key, much less well.

[JackandMalcolm]

Thanks so much. You guys sound great too. We really enjoyed your playing and singing. Where are you from? If you're close, we should play together sometime,

Jack and Malcolm

[KawhackitaRag]

This is excellent!!!
