Bukka White-Got Sick And Tired

[DAVO1984FI]

Huge

[koba9698]

I really love this.

[el6caballo6oscuro6]

really fellin' this tune atm will be workin' 7 days a week 'till xristmas :/

[barba666ruiva]

what amazes me most about the oldtime blues masters (bukka himself, son house, blind lemmon, etc) is how they managed to sound like a whole band with just an acoustic guitar-dobro

[rmurbach1961]

Bukka White gave his cousin B.B. King his first guitar. They actually played the Memphis Blues circuit together when BB was fresh out of the Army in the late 1940's

[MrBuk86]

This song rocks my face off. Bukka was so bad-ass.

[jahja52]

If you fancy seeing some music inspired by Bukka White this March, Alabama 3 are performing acoustic and unplugged!

They are performing in this stripped down acoustic way to show the songs in a format reminiscent of the people that have been their inspiration, chiefly the old Delta Blues players like Fred MacDowell and Bukka White.

See alabama3.co.uk for more details

[Zebra902]

Lord have mercy.......I saw Bukka White MANY years ago.......and yes, I'm old. He was just the nuts! Couldn't keep my feet still. He died a few years after I saw him.

[trailbikerharo]

he played his guitar rough like he played his women. lol

[Fruscianteistheman]

its scary how much fucking talent is within just footsteps.

I'm fucking spooked. If i was there, i would probably just relapse into a coma.

to much epicness

[busessuck1]

She struck fire... that's awsome

...it's interesting how both the cameraman and myself were completely distracted by James and House even though they were just sitting there not doing anything

[CigaretteCandy]

I love how no one disliked this <33333333333333333333333333333­33333333

They better not

[jimmcallister]

Bukka was BB King's second cousin, you know. Amazing that the same gene pool could produce two such radically different performers.

I used to perform songs like this in the mid 1970s in a coffee shop in town every Wednesday night, along with more up to date material of course so they'd have me back the following week. Having that slide guitar was handy too. One night I went straight from 'Broke Down Engine' to 'Long Tall Glasses' by Leo Sayer when someone in the crowd yelled for it.

[JimiChristopher]

God i wish i could sing and play like this :( perhaps i should be asking the devil :)

[JosephMalicke]

Bukka has some INCREDIBLE rhythm going on this video. This is raw country blues, folks. And there's nothing like seeing Skip James and Bukka White in the same room. Magical.

[pipewatcher]

i work 6 days in the week, and i don't draw no dough! love skip in the background! thanks for the post!!

[dingod73]

...She struck fire!

[fenxf55]

People ask me why I cant bare to listen to what they call music these days. Well its videos like this that provide the answer. THIS IS MUSIC! Good ol' dirty blues is there a finer genre...............NOPE!

(well thats my humble opinion any how!)

[BigBossGator]

Was this on the Johnny Case show? It kinda looks like one of their sets.

[alan19770211]

wonderful

[Masterphonic]

Skip's probably over there thinkin' that boy ought not dipped into that whiskey before he started

[zmirecki]

When and where was this recorded? I'd love to see the rest of the the video with the other guys playing too.

[JPRBlues]

Some blues at it's best 10/10...Peace...Jake

[HieronymousLex]

Did he do a recording of this song?

[mdpocoroba]

What would you say this is?

[lounalual]

un nuage noir d'orage passe et le chien à l'ombre du nuage passe sa rage sur ceux qui ont pris le soleil en otage

[polytwobeers]

This is where Zepp got it from,,,

[mebloke69]

the man from the land where the blues began

[elpanchito421]

4:15 - that shot is priceless.

[flankymr]

I took that picture do you want a copy?

[SuperFakundo]

How canb I get the whole tape with Son House and Skip James??

[klogghopper]

I cant think of any words that would do this footage justice, Bukka white sings and the hairs on the back of ma neck stand up. White Stripes,the stones,led zep, and a thousand other bands , just have to bow down . I ever go to the USA I am going to track down where he is buried and pay my respects.

[6t4eldo]

love that gravelly voice along with howlin' wolf's !

[FaustyFob]

is that skip james behind him??

[acidcasual07]

yeah and son house.

[HieronymousLex]

I was going to ask that, Skip, House and Bukka all in the same building. GOLD.

[donquicke]

How come I can't find this song anywhere? i tunes has all his stuff but not this one.......

[PPOIRI000]

We're lucky to have this to influence our taste/play but those guys created the shit, it's mindblowing.....

America, apologize to all the still alive relatives of these giant pionneers who gave this country it's greatest heritage and left this world without the proper acknowledgment!

[rundkorper]

Gets you in the gut, for sure.

Who's that in the background next to Son House I wonder.

[Tubascope]

That would be Skip James

[acidcasual07]

Skip James. see crow jane.

[louiseduvee]

Mr. Booker T. Wight! Yeah, I love him. Live in Memphis now and I sure am glad my father played blues all the time.Thanks:)

[1457508]

ain`t that something, this is more then music, this is soul bro.

[eclecticshaman]

hes soo rough with his guitar, i love it.

[ladyraven30]

My goodness, my goodness!!

[javonblue]

it was the jazz seen and heard tv show in germany

[stevenpapi]

Bukka got teeth

[ray8up]

wow!

[manicap1]

what a trinity!

[POLlyy23]

whooo ! 5/5! easy!

[songblam]

Legendary indeed....!

[grandmasterflash]

what tuning is this in??

[banjochris]

Open E minor (EBEGBE) -- although he may be tuned up or down of concert pitch, I didn't check.

[ray8up]

Thanks!

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Sweet accoustic slide, the song, his voice, and these guys playin so tite! Where fancy electronics just were not necessary. Thanks!

[48755003]

What a voice!!Pure energy!!

[kidpink]

hey thats son house all the way to the right, at the beginning... wish i was there! heh

[thestrugglewithin]

could you imagine how cool that would be?

Skip james played in that same place I think - see "crow jane" video and I think he actually sat in the middle spot.

[acidcasual07]

yer its newport. all the grerats played there. i think it were a jazz fest though. im not sure.

[thestrugglewithin]

actually, Im pretty sure the guy in the middle IS Skip! look at the guitar and his clothes and see him here: /watch?v=ytVww5r4Nk0 must have been the same performance!

[56BUICKRiviera]

Yep and the guy on the far right is Son House. They badder than Shaft, Superfly, James Bond and Kung Fu all rolled up in one!

[wish9698]

his play sticks my heart.

he is my god.

[hearavoice]

hes just bukka white , GOD is our only GOD

[acidcasual07]

this song is sick.... so melodic and vibrant. pure blues magic.

[acidcasual07]

skip played crow jane and worried blues that place must have been banging that day.  wish i was there.

[greenmorris37]

I am glad this is back again, fantastic bit of music.

[santeriaband]

Thanks for posting this again. It had disappeared for a while.

[mistressbladez]

The album this is of of is the hardest and heaviest 'accoustic' album in existence... makes a lot of heavy metal sound limp. Like he's just slamming that resonator upside u head. One of the true originals of American music.

[filiphopo]

What album is this on?

Really amazing and I really want it! Is it just Bukka on that album or is Skim and Son House also on it?

[jessupar]

Ah cool, so it was Skippy. probly the best musicians on the face of the earth there that day... what a shame none are alive for my generation (out of these guys i mean. i know there are a few around still like BB King or Buddy Guy)

[lostintheblues]

WOW i've never seen all those bluesmen at that venu.... amazing.... i'd give anything to be that camera man there holy shit that would be sweet

[jessupar]

Is that skip james behind him? the guy in the middle? it looks like the place "Crow Jane" was recorded in, but since youtube quality-killed it i cant tell.

[srvfan79]

You got it!

Skip James recorded 2 tunes in this session: "Crow Jane" & "all night long". On his left Son House performed "death letter" later!!!

Those 3 videos are avaible on YT ;)

[etheangel2220]

Sonny and Brownie also performed. I forget what song though, but I remember Brownie getting down on that kazoo

[srvfan79]

"Stranger blues", "burnt child(afraid of fire)", and "Gonna move across the river".

[sonnygerd]

Why the hell did'nt Wenders show at least one song of him in his moviez???

[fuxgood]

@srvfan79 I think this was recorded backstage at Newport. Son House, Skip james, Wolf all had this same background.

[banjochris]

@fuxgood This was recorded for Danish TV in Copenhagen in 1967 during the American Folk Blues Festival tour. There is other footage of these three recorded at Newport with Howling Wolf but it's a different session,

[fuxgood]

@banjochris Thanks for correcting me. Knew I had seen this same background in other recordings and Newport came to mind.

[zanklwang09]

brilliant! catch that ole cannonball down the line!

[londonpenda]

Good sounds;)

[bigfrank1961]

I never saw this one before........Bukka was the best!!

[etheangel2220]

havent seen this one for a bit. thanx for bringing it back
