[odingr]

anybody got a backing track like that?

[GregDrayGregDray]

What happened to this guy? Very cool video.I am sad to hear he is gone.He was a very good guitarist and you could see that he loved it.I am a guitarist also and my biggest fear of death is that I will never be able to play my guitars again.Life can be so short for some.He was very good.What a loss.

[applewhiteroad]

i liike this guys vibe, his playing!!!! seems like a true natural! man i read the bottom comments and it saidhe deceased, damm that just made me sad! rip !!!!!!

[freaxtazz]

Who agrees that he would have reached the levels of SRV if he was still with us ?

[OutbackBros]

That's the Dogs Bollocks that is!

[tappannie]

Killer killer killer. This is PERFECT!

[TheBigKat77]

God bless you Sean, Rest in Peace my brother.

[dd1yr]

i cant for the life of me figure out the lick on 1:24 - 1:26 ><

[aft41]

Sean Costello, a young guitar master.

[affortunatus]

Very nice!

[anthonypepitoneVideo]

Amazing fluidity and jazzy swing feel - Stevie Ray or Clapton could never come close to doing anything like this.

[griffindornan]

What a talent.

[landsliderecords]

Wow, a great one, thanks. Sean could play this kind of jump blues in his sleep. Incidentally, "The Hucklebuck" was actually a remake of the Charlie Parker's "Now's The Time."

[SDPickups]

I never heard of this guy but he's definitely got something going, well worth watching and listening to....

[dressagegal]

I fell in love with this guy the first time I went to see him at a local bar in Roswell Ga. He was 16 (or close to it) and I was so amazed. I don't follow many musicians, but this one I went to see every time I had the chance. I have watched many bands, all different types of music...he was by far my favorite...hurts so much that he is gone...but he does live on in his music....thank you for posting

[gusband1]

Just Brilliant....

[Noitpure]

Why don't they have a 10 Star option??? Incredible performance! RIP Sean

[BartelDoo]

exquisite

[dressagegal]

well, it just doesn't get any better than this. I just can't believe how good this man was. Such talent. And it was largely ignored. Why do "we" listen to CRAP when we have so much real talent out there? it's insane

[Tigford]

Yes, so much CRAP, and so few diamonds.

I finally bought his memorial "Blues" album, and I can't stop listening to it!

[Tigford]

This was one of those magic moments of music. I've never heard "Hucklebuck" sound so alive. Sean was truly connected to the song.

[goldtop68]

Sean...soo sad you left us .;(( RIP

[Hellbottom666]

awesome!

[sideburnjim]

very talented, superb playing! only the best have to go "early".

[codiovane]

What a marvelous musician he was, RIP Sean

[lespaul10]

RIP Sean...you will always be remembered.

[mightybright1]

I've been watching Junior Watson do this same piece thinking that Junior was "it". Junior is good but I keep coming back to Sean, Wow what a monster. So sad that we don't have this talent any longer.

[Robkat3751]

And I will reply to my own comment. Watch Sean. He feels every note through his body. He lives every note every rift, he feels it all. Watch him, watch his face. That is what makes a talent like this. It isn't learning the notes it is feeling them. if I were deaf and was watching sean I think I would understand what he was feeling

[kapacon]

I wonder if Sean ever played with the Prado Blues Band? They have a very similar sound.

[cast390]

Very Les Paul sounding Great influence and great playing!!!

[cast390]

very cool, swing it baby, yea baby!!!!!

[59bassman]

oh yeah! swingin

[sssstavros]

I was there on that live. It's where I started admiring Sean... He will be living forever through his music... RIP :(

[F1z1ks]

So sad to see Sean go, but he has the coolest guitar faces since Stevie. You can just tell was so into his playing. It's rare, and beautiful thing to have this much fun coming out of your playing.

[bluesvoodoo]

Roy Bucannon, Danny Gatton, now Sean...So Blue!... Please, Stop!!! What is wrong?

[caseyalv1234]

damn amazing guitarist who could have been one of the best ever finally Going Home from the troubles of this world

[bsuite123]

Going Home?

[evanfrmheaven]

See you on the other side my old friend.........

[bsuite123]

Other side of what?

[deepend420]

RIP Sean.

[tginmn]

So young. I feel that he will go down as once of the best despite his short career.

[michaelav08]

ROCK!! Man that was great.

What a sad loss of a young life.. :(

[backstagebluzmama]

An all too quick ending to a young torchbearer of the Blues. I had an opportunity to chat w/Sean after his performance at a festival. I was struck how modest and humbly he accepted my compliments. He will be sorely missed.

[resoblues]

How sad gone too soon to such a waste. Would have been one of the greatest.

[millmine]

great

[millmine]

great player hell be missed

[parkernf2]

One of the greats, he will be missed dearly. RIP Sean.

[FlintboyG]

An exciting player. He will be missed. RIP Sean.

[Odiculeoj]

A great talent ... He will be missed

RIP Sean Costello ...

[drpickup]

First we heard was Earl Hooker but this is a cool version

[goldtop68]

Absolutely amazing,effortless,floating,gr­oovin..

I wish all music could be played like that guy does it..

I bow to the master

[Fatshead]

This is a good one, modeled a little more closely on Earl Hooker's cut, but I think Junior's studio effort w/ Canned Heat takes top honors as it singlehandedly defines the essence of west coast phrasing, tone and feel - for me at least.

[vincentlyons]

Useful insight, thanks. Search 'Hucklebuck' on YouTube and you can also hear a version by Junior Watson from around 1990. Interesting to compare the differences between Sean and Junior's versions!

[fairalways]

Nice! Don't mean to sound ignant, but wasn't this a Chubby C song originally?

[vincentlyons]

'Hucklebuck' seems to have started out as a popular tenor sax instrumental back in the late 1940s, before evolving into a song, that has been covered by many famous performers, including Chubby Checker.

[fairalways]

Thanks, I thought it might have been a passaround....Chubby Checker was the first I heard, and it stuck. Appreciated.

[Bluesswede]

Great version Sean does here! I heard Junior Watson do Hucklebuck live, and I can tell'ya that it was a killer version too! He also did it with the Canned Heat on the Reheated album i think.

[vincentlyons]

Interesting to see that Sean Costello and Junior Watson both perform on Nappy Brown's new CD, 'Long Time Coming'

[Blarneylady]

Love this tune!

[Breazzz]

great !

[josbruls]

Cheerful, witty, great!

[gusband1]

Definitely the best Hucklebuck of all time and the video isnt bad either.. Keep it coming!!

[mslosarska]

You were right... Another great one!
