geez--you guys are the real deal. So, like why don'tcha post the names of your group/band. Do you guys ever come to NYC? You are all good, but that harp player..he just knocked my socks off.....
Thank you for that , I really do appreciate it ... We do a version inspired by Muddy's and although I would love to be more educated about it ... If you look back at any of the old blues songs you can trace them way further back than 1935 , youll only find the first date it was first recorded ... not the true writer of the song as many of these were passed from grandad to grandad ... Unfortunately Im not a historian ... Not that Im not curious about it but I hear alot of songs ...
Id like to further note that Ive never seen the song on any jacket by Muddy credited to Big Joe Williams ... although I believe you . the best that I can do is credit it to people who I get it from and hope that people investigate when they get to that artist ... So again I appreciate your input ... Its funny though , this song is one that Ive turned to my band and asked several times right on stage ... Who really wrote this song anyways ? ... Now I know ... Thanks again
Ive also heard the Big Joe version 100 times ... and its great , I guess I just didnt place that one in historical order ... probably because so many people have done it ... Big Bills version is fantastic as well ... Fred MacDowells is great also ...
@therhythmfour For your information it was indeed RECORDED first by Big Joe. However. It is a track that goes far, far, far further back than that. It was originally a song from West African tradition called "Fallani Battaro" or something along those lines. (I have no idea how it's spelled, only heard it spoken.)
Anyways, you've got a great band going. Love everything you do.
The only thing missing to get you to the original is atiny bit more intensity/nerve, if you know what I mean?
just watched some of your work and I have to say, that blues thing that every blues man is trying to get ! well you lads have got it by the bucket load!!
man that is the most realistic as it sounds. never heard anyone play this song and make it sound so vintage. everyone nowa days plays it with that new sound shit. I like it best like this.
@notwaiting Well there is always that.So you were either muddying the water or being sarcastic either way ,as I am monumentally stupid,its no shock that the Muddy Waters you were refering to isn't infact there.
However the harmonica player is called Muddy Waters and is legendary in his homeland of Croatia.
The whole thing is just a series of mis-nomas as has been pointed out as it is infact not a Muddy Waters tune,Though obviously he did do it.
you got a GOOD feel goin on there. as soon as you started, and WHAT a start you got me windin lol
LOVE the double bass, and the hand-on drums --gives a real solid backbeat. LOVE the set, the paintings....all. only thing i personally dont dig is ties
Well, don't get too touchy about it. Use your own name, or the name of your band, or the name of the tune "by you". Like I said, the music is fine. ( Oh, and that's so cool that you've played with Pinetop!)
the music is fine, but you should change the name so people searching for muddy waters don't feel like your stealin in on muddy's name. not a good thing to do.
Were doin his version, of course which you obviously know is not original ... Apart from my use of apostrophe after his name ... How would you like me to list the song ? ... I'll ask Pinetop next time I play with him ... Noone is tryin to steal anything ... I want people to know where to look if they want to find the roots of the only music i know how to play ...
....what?!?!...this is not Muddy Waters?!?! hehehehehe...btw, "Deaflloc," if I wasn't searching for MW I wouldn't find this...glad I did! U guys are awesome!!!! Thanks for posting!
So you liked the video ? Im not sure what youre doin ? lecturin me on how to pay tribute and respect to the old blues guys , many of which I have actually played with ? or complimenting me on a video you didnt wanna see so badly that you needed to give me a lecture, BUT STAYED TO WATCH ANYWAYS ... Let see 4 minutes for you to watch it ... 2 to wave your finger at me and 2 for me to respond ... that'sssssss 8 minutes ... man ! you coulda had a V8
Man only an idiot would criticize that it was really a good reproduction of the song spot on if you ask me lol. i love it when non musicians get on and criticize musicians they sound so ridiculous lol. Well keep up the good toons
I'm black and nothing pisses me off more than some idiot saying something like "not bad at all for whites". I mean what are you trying to accomplish? I look forward to the day when people don't even have to address such issues. Lets just say those guys can play.
Im not white ... but the last time I checked whites could play music quite well too ... some of em can even jump and dance ... I even know this one white guy who eats watermelon ... wild and crazy stuff ... good times ... glad ya liked the music ...
No f@#$%n way really?! good on ya son ... I'm brown, and one time my mom made me an egg salad sandwich ... and she cut the crusts off of it! ... Holy Moly I thought I was gettin' high or somethin !
very great i wish their were players like this in fresno ca tell me please what harmonica your using i know your heavily inlfuenced by little walter and i always wondered what harmonica he used the sound and band is great
what a great tune ! i dont think ive heard a bad version of this song ,its just a classic blues tune .its very romantic and sexy,i like to some muddy waters on when im in the mood for lovin, with my wife !!!!!!!cheers
that harp player is very good lol, i feel it forget about hearing it
