[ERICBALLAND]

This is a great Blues Rock !! ... thank you to Mike, for sharing and discovery :)

[11kirky]

Aww fook, this song is just so cooollllll. Now i know why i love the blues

[captjfloyd]

Great players but nothing can keep this from being the most boring song in the history of music.........................­.......

[jlhogan54]

@captjfloyd "the most boring song in the history of music...." You obviously haven't heard much music so far in

your life pal because there's some pretty sleepy shit out there and this tune ISN'T one of em!

[guiterry]

I never really liked this song, but this version/arrangement is VERY cool!! It has much more soul and flavor (IMHO), and I like this version much better than the origional .

[cypan1]

I Actually had the Honor to speak to Robert @ theatre St Denis In Montreal During @ Tour in 1991 . This guy is the most down to Earth Guitarist i ever met . Such a Genuine guy. Real so Real no Pretentous or plastic bone in his Entire body . his talent extends far beyond the spectrum of blues .

he has worked with guitar greats lee Ritenour ,Eric Clapton Jeff Beck . just to name a few . the Definition of " FEEL " IS Certainly Audible when grooving to his music

[Madsolesen1]

And who is controlling the bass? Anyone? Need to know!

[rstansbury1]

I been listening to both Cray and Bonamassa since I was 13, and singing blues in Memphis, but it gives me that happy happy feelin every time..BLUEZ on...

[hardgreenhorn]

thanks so much for posting! - i faved! ^^

[lotorobly]

i didn't know that rob played with unknown s*o*B s

[Shedlad93]

@lotorobly that unknown "s*o*B" just sold out the echo arena in liverpool, as he sells out all over the world and has played the albert hall, just so you know

[1983olds]

For the Guy who is new to Bonamassa, search Takin the Hit Rockpalast 2006. Enough said.

[gegan113]

@1983olds or Blue and Evil, or If Heartaches Were Nickels, or Spanish Boots, or Dust Bowl... it's all good

[unclethirsty08]

SWEET!!!!

[Strongpersuader]

I would define Robert Craymusic and style with just one simple word...ELEGANCE!!! IMHO, the guy is just what a true Bluesman is supposed to be......

[gibbie31]

its like eric johnson with santanas tone playing blues?

[Racer77Girl]

Didnt kniw about this remake untill a little over a week ago but now i cant stop listening to JB... Hes uh-mazing!!!!!

[MegaRewi]

Robert Cray never too fast never too extravagant never too over the top just always SMOOTH and NOTE PERFECT!

[JOHNNYG99X]

Cray has a great voice

[badhorsee]

that cray voice, amazing, and his playing, just a living legend in every sense

[vinceism1]

Kick Ass blues!!!!!. Different to but as good as the original. JOe is perhaps the best contemporary blueser.

[luboss69]

J B is a mega hammer. I got to know him trhough Black Country Communion. This man is just impossible.

[george4722]

saw JB open for BB King 8 years ago. been hooked on his stuff ever since. killer version of this song.

[ikeepitreal42]

LUVIT HELLYEAH!!!!!

[eqsmooth]

I was telling people about him 11 years ago and they just smirked. As if all the great guitar players had been born. Closed minded mutha fukkas. Rest in peace Gary Moore. You were lost too soon but there are others to carry on.

[SoulIsTheGoal]

Apparently that's Tal Wilkenfeld on bass. Excellent combination of artists.

[JesseAStewartMusic]

This is an awesome duo and and awesome version of this song, absolutely love it and love their playing!!!

[paulmirto]

[paulmirto]

[bbok1208]

I love how Bonamassa's guitar sounds like a saxophone. Nasty good. :D

[LoganRichard1]

Most videos have at least one dislike . not this one cause it is pure awesomeness .!

[nivlagtj1]

@plochman30. Totally agree. I love that smug feeling of "Get a load of THIS SH*T!" that first time you hit play for a guitar-phile who's never heard of JB.

[TIMEBOMBNY]

sweeeet version....

[nikgottheblues]

Sooooo Groovy

[danielstuartblues]

for me its like every day I am discovering Joe Bonamassa for the first time....

But somehow I know the lyrics!!

[plochman30]

I am jealous of those who are just discovering JB. I remember how blown away I was when I first heard him play...I am still astounded everytime I hit play but nothing compares to the "where the heck did this guy come from" feeling I had listening to that first track!

[Blackhawkthesky]

@plochman30 Totally. I discovered him about a year ago.

[nivlagtj1]

@plochman30 Totally agree. Love that satisfied feeling of exposing a guitar-phile to JB. That smug, "Get a load of THIS SH*T!" as you push play.

[tavyrai]

@plochman30 Aweeeeeeeeesome! I just discover this dude! Es-pec-ta-culaaaaarr!! And this version of tracy's original is reaaaaaaally superior! (ni hablar de Robert, Lee y Cía!) "where the heck did this guy come from!"

[jiitana]

@plochman30 LOL I know the feeling. First time I ever heard him was a CD at a friend's house when she was FORCING me to listen..... i was busy booking concerts at the time and looking for a header for the paola roots festival in paola, ks. Needless to say, I booked him almost instantly... after talking to his manager. The second time I heard him was live at the festival, and it damned near brought me to my knees.... just him, his bassist, and drummer.... friggin INCREDIBLE.

[fuckifacation123]

@plochman30 lol....those are my exact words right now man!

[GekkoClan]

@plochman30 Totally agree! :D First time I heard was when I bought the Ballad of John Henry album. I was blown away instantly!

[Chulaan]

@plochman30 haha I know exactly what you mean. I saw him open for Jethro Tull years ago at Wolftrap in Va. I was completely blown away.

[rosineer]

@plochman30

I hear ya. I took my son to a JB concert B4 he was doing larger venues. My son is still talking about how it was the besy show he's ever been at.

[AndreasSku93]

@plochman30 To me he just sounds better and better, but I get that blown away feeling every time I see his 2009 Royal Albert Hall concert!

[MrBluesrules]

@plochman30

Dude, first time I saw the Joe was at Fiddlers Green in Denver. It was BB Kings Blues Festival. There was Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jimmy Vaughan W/LuAnn Barton, And Joe. He came out and said "Hello Denver, My name is Joe Bonamassa, I'm from New York City. The Crowd went nuts. We were ALL from New York City at that time. It was just two weeks after 9/11. Never miss him when he comes through. Hope he comes through with Beth Hart in May 2012.

[Geneco67]

@MrBluesrules Joe is from Central NY honestly i remember him being a kid around here he was a very humble kid amazing to see local kid done good

[Uldrythable]

Vocal part is very similar to "oni zaraz przyjdą tu" by T. Nalepa.... Very Similar

[chiosco5vie]

thanks Joe / chiosco5vie/Locarno

[sledgehammer347]

[atrickpay11]

@sledgehammer347 chk his work in band Bloodline..incredible Stratocaster ripping on their one album by him!

[PDSalling]

[Mokelembe]

Really great tune & voice

[HolgerHelfert]

fantastic song, and a great version of it .... this old folks show us how good music sounds ...

[HolgerHelfert]

fantastic song, and a great version of it ....

[mattsplatt]

I was a big fan of this Tracy Chapman song. I am also a big Joe Bonamassa fan. The combination is incredible!

[TheBigBluesFan]

my brother told me of this song this morning.

yeah, you can say i'm not disappointed.

[UnionofHumanity]

I Love this song. That Cat and Mouse Game between Men and Women has taken a complete role reversal don't you think! 

[hinamauka]

Not Tracy Chapman, but also very good.

[unionof666666]

Fantastic song and one of my favourites.

Thanks for the invitation which has brought me to this site.

I first heard this song done by Tracy Chapman in the 80's. Well Done!!!

[Streetrodder53]

Outstanding phrasing both guitar and vocals........Joe is incredible....Robert Cray great! Got tickets to see Bonamassa Dec. 10th......

[rgbrin]

this is an Awsome rendition of a great tune,,,Joe sounds like a million bucks BOTH Vocaly and musicaly....but then, he is one of the best

[BRUCS13]

nice.....

[dmbodeen]

Too bad Joe can't play guitar. LOL.

[bankebrum]

They Go Well Together !! THX !!
