I love this version of this song. Tab, Jimmy and the entire band are absolutely phenomenal together. Brings tears to both my husband's and my eyes. Thank you for the incredible music.
These arms of mine, These arms of mine, they are lonely, Lonely and feeling blue. These arms of mine, they are yearning, Yearning from wanting you. And if you would let them hold you, Oh how grateful I will be. These arms of mine, they are burning, Burning from wanting you. These arms of mine, they are wanting, Wanting to hold you. And if you would let them hold you, Oh how grateful I will be. Come on, come
Never heard of him before. Saw him tonight live in Houston area. OMG!! He is everything. Guitar is beyond, voice is fantastic, gorgeous and funny. What more could you want in an entertainer. Will se him when ever I can!
This man is simply amazing. Being from the south, he truly shows how funny we can be as well as entertaining. He has the personality as well as the talent and looks. Bet Ottis Redding didnt have all of that.
truly an amazing performance! I kinda think that Jimmy really steals the lead in the middle...perfectly crafted, and right on with the emotion of the song! Great rendition of this classic!
Tab and Jimmy and the guys this is the BEST that I have ever herad. Otis would be very very proud of you.My new favorite song ever. Thank you. I seen Tab at a Blues Festival in Marquette Michigan way up North, He was awesome . What a wonderful person.You have to see him live. Excellent,
Tab's exceptional, we saw him & Thackery in St Paul, MN - gave the best performance we've ever heard in our lives! WOW, what an event we'll never forget. And Tab has been the most talented younger Blues Men we've had the chance to see on 6 occasions, most in Duluth, MN. But we saw him in his hometown-go to Huoma, LA, for the "Voice of the Wetlands." Great purpose and then you get to see Tab and other national and local blues players & the local food can't be beat-best Cajun you could ever have!
when did Thackery grow a thimble on his head..hahaaaa...Not quite the cone-head he used to be, hey ? Great guitarist..one of my favorites. Burfod's Bop ..took me a year to learn it right..and then I had to see Jimmy play it live to get the chord changes perfect.
Uh...I think "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" was written by the great Bluegrass songwritter and performer Ralph Stanley. The song is older than Tab Benoit.
lol, nope sorry. Check out the Eric Clapton Crossroads DVD, he has 2 great songs on it, one of them is "I am a man of constant sorrow" where he explains that he wrote it for the 'Oh Brother' soundtrack ;-)
<3 Danced to this with my now-husband in 2006 in Beaumont on Crockett Street. Good memory! :) Great talent.
