Evil (Howlin' Wolf cover) - Captain Beefheart

[ADURG1]

thanks for sharing! righteth oneth!!!!!!!!!!

[saladfork8]

Beefheart- Bukowski, where are our poets when we need them the most?

[jif0riddim]

You mean there are people out there that don't like Beefheart?? My wife don't like Beefheart but I thought she was the exception that proved the rule. I've always loved Beefheart, think I was born to love Beefheart... And these postings of Don and the band(s) just convince me more. Thanks all you guys for risking litigation and putting this stuff up!!

[HumanBornFree]

Come to think of it, expecting that everyone is going to like Beefheart is exceptionally ignorant.

[snecadc10]

capt beefhart messed up some lyrics beefhart said grab the first thing smokn if u hear the horn blow and howlin wolf says call on the telephone and she answers awful slow grab the first thing smokn (even)if u have to HOBO,, lol,,Wolf was pretty good!!!

[TheLithopedian]

Fantastic post, thank you.

[niriop]

I wish he would have covered "I Asked for Water". That would have been *awesome*...

[davidplatero]

Que dios lo renga en gracia, siempre respondia

[SavethexQueen]

He's so sexy

[MarcBrewer]

Great Cover! With all those British bands bringing the blues to white kids in the 60s Beefheart could have taken the obvious route to sucess and just been a Howlin Wolf imitator, instead he decided to be original and take a new path.

[BlackKaweah]

The blues was always essential to the Captain's music. One of the very greatest blues voices.

[stezyrezy]

yeeehaaaaaaaaa! beefheart gets better with my age! stezyrezy

[BigNoseMusic]

Where did you get this from?

[nion8n81]

I love blues

[JoeyhasMojo]

I really DIF how Beefheart was a diehard Blues Lover! This is Killer!

[p165711]

My-Oh-My. 

[ericevans93]

This sounds exactly like Howlin' Wolf! Excellent.

[DAREALAndyRampage]

..'WORTHY!'..



[MrLAGWD]

you can find this on Grow fins. I think it's live at the avalon 66

[theeasybeats]

he's da man

[ErnsT12H1]

@theeasybeats I agree with you completely. Man, I hope I get to meet him someday, but probably not. I am still not worthy of him.

[pentogram23]

fist heard them in 1968 in London UK ...wow so differant and advanced from the Beach Boys ..LOL

[badazzpresidents23]

Read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass whilst listening to Beefheart. Sober or not, it's amazing.

[Charlie20301]

Which album is this off? I thought that I had heard all of his stuff. It's great to hear something new by him.

[noblesiner]

The Music sounds great, but I don't like captain beef hearts vocal. 

[jamjam7921]

Rythm and blues my friend. Great stuff

[Jaguiar05]

Dropout Boogie himself taking on the Wolf? that's alright.

[gnd567]

Who are the 3 people who dislike this? Are you kidding? This ROCKS! I'm 20 and they say my generation has bad taste. I love the Captain! RIP

[TheObie9]

[andy749]

Love it...rock and roll.

[Broyd]

Straight from the gonads comes the purest form of condensed energy: Captain Beefheart. DAMN this is tight.

[23mungo]

I didn't know he was the original vocalist on Diddy Wah Diddy until today.

[Hoglegvid]

@CanadianFolkBlues Your right. It's music that evolved from the blues.

[bedtime4bonzo]

@CanadianFolkBlues - what makes it "not the blues"...?

[CanadianFolkBlues]

@bedtime4bonzo it doesnt have the feeling - or the groove. its very corny. it's definitely music, but it sure isnt blues.

[bedtime4bonzo]

@CanadianFolkBlues - that's just, like, your opinion man

[CanadianFolkBlues]

@bedtime4bonzo like, i know, man, but, he was, like, asking a question, so, i figured, id answer it. its obviously my opinion - BUT we are on youtube, so opinions are often expressed by everybody. regardless of whether or not you agree, there are lines in music can and should be drawn, and it is my opinion this crosses a line. it seems like is not paying proper respect to such a great musician, almost like its a mockery. 

[deewilki]

@CanadianFolkBlues mate what age are you ? you said this is disrespectful to the wolf HOW ! THIS IS EVOLVED BLUES and blues it is i bet you screemed and shouted when dylan went electric eh even if you are only 20 mate you need to get a grip beefheart was the onlyman able to sound like howling wolf and thats very widley regarded as true opinions are ok if they have reason if not they are rambles and possible sighns of maddness . mate im sorry to tell you your as mad as a fish with no fins

[CanadianFolkBlues]

@deewilki still gotta disagree man, call me crazy...

from what i have understood about the blues is that its meant to be felt. everrybody has em, and all music has em in it, but if you start dressin it up with this and with that and start tryin to sound like somebody you arent, then your getting it all mixed up. to make it the blues ya gotta feel it and do it how YOU do it, not how the wolf did it... yeah, the combination of BAD harmonica and corny imitation just makes me hate! haha, sorry man

[ryanhashton]

@CanadianFolkBlues It is a blues song. i agree, this isnt really the blues. the song is, and howlin wolf is. howlin wolf was one of beefhearts favorite musicians. this is just beefheart trying to be like his hero. this isn't the real beefheart. beefheart isnt a real blues musician, hes a child prodigy at sculpting that became friends with frank zappa and got into music. listen to trout mask replica if u want the real beefheart. beefheart does a good imitation of wolfs voice tho.

[soulgalore]

@CanadianFolkBlues To put this track in better context it should be pointed out it was recorded before Beefheart had changed the substance of his music from that of an everyday (but highly proficient) blues rock band, to something more boundary challenging as witnessed in Safe as Milk. As with free jazz, acid rock, and surrealistic poetry, the blues was one of the power sources Beefheart used as part of an infusion that created such an individual musical identity.

[bedtime4bonzo]

@CanadianFolkBlues - opinion is not fact, that's all

[CanadianFolkBlues]

@bedtime4bonzo agreed! i forgot ALL about this shit... it was like a year ago since ive seen this, so i listened again, and yah, still cant help to think that, A - his harp playing is mediocre at best, and his singing is very silly. still think that this is more rock and roll than blues, and sure, thats my opinion, but go through my list of uploads, listen to some of that good old time and country blues, then listen to this and you may see where im comin from! its like going from steak to tofu !

[tenbarsteam]

@CanadianFolkBlues It is

[onesadsob]

@CanadianFolkBlues you are canadian. what you say has no merit whatsoever.

[HumanBornFree]

@onesadsob As much as I disagree with the Canadian, I have to say that’s exceptionally ignorant.

[claytushaywood1]

@CanadianFolkBlues hahaha! canadian blues- now that's where it all started. the tail between your legs, dickless walk blues

[CanadianFolkBlues]

oh thats intelligent

[Reynardine13]

This sounds stupid and cheap to me. Re-invent the wheel...blah blah blah...so what?

[Hoglegvid]

@Reynardine13 Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man..... Just kidding dude, no worries...

[HELODERMANDER]

@Reynardine13 You have the vision of a clam, and your ears are full of rat puss.

[12Zwolf]

; Rest In Peace, Captain Beefheart, you're the best.

[ravenkiller1]

gone but not forgotten. RIP good captain. the world just got a bit suckier.

[Ziplock74]

he does a killer howlin' wolf impression voice.

[markino1963]

@Ziplock74 this guy used to blow up microphones!!!.....listen to his song "electricity"

[ArunNamboodiri]

Who disliked this? This is really sublime.

[aminevich]

@ArunNamboodiri There are 2 people out there in the world, who have lack of sense to vote thumbs up. Hell, if you don't like a song, just click the back arrow rather than thumbs down. Sad....

[dilliei]

best coverer of all time

[skinnydoggyz]

@dilliei you're very insightful

[msroberto1954]

GRANDI I STRIDII CON IL CLARINETTO

[SkopTeocratico]

@msroberto1954 No no son fatti con l'armonica :-D

Great song, Captain Beefheart was great!

[skorecki7]

right title is "evil is going on" (i sent it myself, thinking no one had ...)

[harrythegrass]

the blues is the sound of a million black hands working on dirty machines, we'r all black in the dark

[facto1000]

[LauryWard]
