If you had a voice of your own you would be huge... or at least famous for your hurt. You're very talented, and have good taste in music, don't let that go to waste. Write some original stuff... you could be big. If not, feel good in the fact that people like me will still listen. (and there are lots of us)
I was trying to find a version of this song to DJ for blues dancing! I was planning on downloading the version I like best off iTunes. So far you are winning (after Robert himself). Awesome job!
This is what I want to see! Young people feeling the blues. I'm 15 years old listening to nothing but blues and rock all day! Thank God, there's still emotion running in the veins of some people. Way to go my friend!
Edaz92, I've lived in downtown Memphis all my life, and needless to say I've heard a few versions of this song. Gotta say you did an excellent job, did not expect that voice. A few long smoky nights and some age, maybe some heart breaks, and you'll be almost as good as old robert himself. Should make a trip to memphis sometime, see what you can pick up on beale.
@LearningCurv3 thanks alot, really appreciate it. take into account this was a good couple of years ago now and i've matured alot more :)
i'd love to make a trip to memphis, i get quite alot of messages from there as a matter of fact saying that but it's a money issue, being a student, i have none : (
I was just (don't laugh) ironing my clothes for work tomorrow and happened across your video and played it about 6 times in a roll, geeze....thanks, I really enjoyed.
Outstanding!! Growing up in Chicago, I was priviledged to see all the great masters live in the 60's and 70's (Yea, I'm an old guy!) I'm so glad to see young musicians like you that have such passion and feeling for the Blues. Keep it up, and Keep the Blues alive!!
great version man,you sticked to the spirit of the delta blues in your voice and playing with your touch,exaclty as they would have played,never twice the same,big up!
this reminds me of that movie about robert johnsons harmonica playin friend and the "Lightning boy" white guy from Long Island. lol. Whas it named crossroads?
He does write some great songs, too. Check out his channel on My Space. He played this by ear at 16; now he's 17, in college, and a future legend. (Been #1 on my private playlist for about 1.5 yrs now.)
Very few people even have an appreciation of the blues. They don't even realize that blues music is what started rock! Thank you for keeping true to the roots of rock.
don't ever really post comments, generally they are just like things you buy from fundraisers or gas stations, trash and trinkets. this is well done. thanks.
you got an incredible voice my friend. ive watched your live performance and some of your others videos, and this is my favorite song you've done. in my opinion the slower you play the better :)
holy shit!...this young guy has an unbelievable attitude to blues and the roots...very rare in the days of hip hop wiggers...keep going and please "make it real big", man!
I am seriously impressed. You play well for any age, but @ 17, you are really an inspiration. And it is freakin' great to see that kids still appreciate classic music that transcends time. I grew up with a very eclectic taste in music, so I have always admired anyone who has real talent in any genre of music. You have talent.
Robert LeRoy Johnson met the devil at the crossroads, the devil asked, "what you want for your soul, boy?" Bobby Johnson replied, "I want to play the blues like noone has ever played the blues before." Guess he got what he bargained for.
sorry but at first i expected the worst , and then i just fell on the ground , Man that's just great ! great blues stringer and great singer too ! man you've got it !
dude are fucking awwwwesome!!!! Keep up all the awesome work and bring on the music
