From what I read, John Brim's record wasn't promoted by Leonard Chess because he refused to let his wife go on tour with Muddy Waters.

[123jozef]

smokin...

[trikes4life8256]

look at them fingers go hot damb man

[bestlive]

Thanks strat2caster for the brief history lesson. I knew I knew this song before VH and DLR. i honestly don't know if VH or DLR gives john brim credit for the song. But I know that there are many performers who never give credit to the 'old timers' who wrote so many songs that are now being played as 'new'

[MichaelFrances]

Nice but I prefer Jonathan Richman's ice cream man to the van halen version. It's a brilliant version though, kinda just breezes along like Mississippi John Hurt and omits diamond daves sleaze.

[Cadrat2006]

Jonathan Richman's is a totally different song. Not a version of this song.

[sonyet]

SWEET! huge VH fan...you might get a kick out of Marty Stepp and Rob Reece doin' Feel Your Love Tonight on ovation double neck ;)

[nomissimo]

wtf? its great!

[dayve07]

so cool. bravo !!

[hammyw95]

nice

[betterjefe]

Man you are awesome! I can't tell, though, is there a second guitarist playing? Regardless, you are incredible! Any experience with a Gretch hollow body?

[betterjefe]

Aw man... I just read where you posted, you accompanied yourself! Still, awesome!

[dkdex1]

im 47 and you need to look at old blues thats where this stuff comes from

[stopwitstraightshots]

great vid. i am 15 and have been playin guitar for 6 yrs. and i pretty much know alot about music but i didnt know that this wasnt made van halen.anyways keep playin your real good.your slideing is great but it could be smoother but anyways great job

[strat2caster]

thanks bro ! ive been playing 30 yrs but only picked up the slide a little over a year ago, i think its starting to get smoother than this performance

[wwwgotristancom]

nice, u should make some lessons

[strat2caster]

thanks a lot! ive been considering that...i have made one tutorial on dropt d tuning, check it out and tell me what you think ;o)

[n9efer]

[strat2caster]

thanks a lot i am pretty new at slide but i really enjoy it.. the comments from my peers, such as yourself , really helps with my playing/confidence in that regard so i sincerely thank you for that ;o)

[cheyennebritbrat]

...blinkin awesome....

[strat2caster]

thanks very much Chey ;o)

[theratfarmer]

never heard the original song. i've allways known that VH did a remake of it. they had push ups back then? lol. at least you have a descent mic.. these computer crap video/audio cams suck.  they can not get a good audio recording. cool bluesy sound.

[strat2caster]

thanks a lot man...actually i'm using a 10 yr old pc mic on this and mix in the slide with windows moviemaker, but i'm very careful about mic placement...i wonder bout the push-ups too ;o)

[CarlGentryMusic]

Very nice original rendition!

[strat2caster]

One of my favorite labels, Fortune Records. Believe they started in 1948, Detroit. Diablos, Don Juans, Five Dollars, Andre Williams, Joe Weaver, Nolan Strong and a whole bunch of others I forgot. Always sounded like they recorded in a hollow room with an echo. Great stuff. No fakes.

Cool...I picked up some Tampa Red "cd's" about 10 years ago. Most people think Stevie Ray wrote his tunes but they are mostly Charlie Burnette and Willie Dixon tunes. The blues in the key of Strat2caster...:)*****
