Was that his son Babik staring in wide-eyed wonder?

Smiling James!!! what a personality!!!

At 50 minutes check out the fake two toned sideburns! ha

At 23.25 the man anticipates Bob Dylan's line.

Damn fine vocal harmony from bassist- reminds me of Dangerous Don Rich singing with Buck...

Correct spelling: Despair

Are there available screen saver downloads of oil based liquid light shows such as this?

Where's James?? ha

Your playing is clean and economical- just like the man himself-melodic, easygoing and emminently likable.

James Burton is so cool...

Originally done I think by Art and Dottie Todd summer of '58. My Aunt Eunice gave me the single as a gift and I did not have an appreciation of it (I was 9!) but now I think it's a wonderful song. In all respect I agree that the rat tat tat ta tat part should have a little more space before comin...

Nice Jim Hall composition - also appears on the album "Jim Hall - Where Would I Be". For a rare glimpse into the thoughtful and articulate mind of Jim Hall, check into the video "Jazz Conversation with Jim Hall".

The president of the James Burton International Fan Club once told me that James won a local talent contest at the age of 14 by playing an original instrumental he entitled "Chinese Boogie" ...behind his head! What a guy...

I've heard of that infamous session from numerous interviews with James Burton but never a live interview w/JB and Tommy...Great!! Also heard of TT showing up to a Frank Zappa session dressed up in a wild costume because he heard Zappa was a real character, then when he saw the charts, he realize...

Really nice job - I see you picked up the essentials of James' great solo on that performance w/Chet and Albert. BTW - I also play a JB signature model from 96- the black and gold paisley. If you ever get to meet or talk with James, you'll find that he is a super person, sincere and down to earth...

I'll never forget my late Aunt Eunice giving me this 45 as a present- at the time I was into 1st gen rock n roll and did not have the capacity to appreciate it. Since becoming an adult I have for decades tried to locate title and artist. 62 years old and loving the poignancy and feeling of this b...

The original master of taste, melodicism, and especially Space between the notes- much like a Zen painter with a mind free of clutter....And that harmonic sense!!

Nice swinging comp style from gtr plyr...

Mr. Clinton may well be more remembered in history for his post-presidential example in using food as medicine. Shake in your boots, Big Pharma!!!

The sparse, clean quality of your phrasing reminds me of Magic Sam- ever dig him? Keep on keepin' on!!!

Alicia- Wonderful feel and phrasing! (at any age!) For ain interesting look at another prodigy recorded when he was also 15, check out the playing of Shuggie Otis on an old Al Kooper album originally titled "Kooper Session".

Can't wait for the new Lenny Breau documentary- still having trouble finding a clean copy of the original "Genius of" doc- hope it will get re-released soon.

Speaking of James Burton, I feel his playing, although stylistically different than Lenny Breau's, has many commonalities- immaculate phras...

I don't recall the expression "wrap my mind around that one" being in currency in the 70's- bit of an anachronism here?

The only way to survive the bad sync is to avert one's attention from the mouths of the characters....

Richard Conte - The Big Combo, 13 rue Madeleine, Cry of the City---truly the bad guy's Bad Guy!!! thnx

First heard this song on the Django Reinhardt box set by Mosiac. Vocals by Freddy Taylor- Hilarious!!

I remember seeing that album advertised in Guitar Player in the early 80's - Glad to finally hear Bucky Barrett, especially w/ Buddy Emmons and Lenny Breau.

I believe the one picture is with Hank Garland- I have a shot of him with James Burton at an awards ceremony-he was in a wheelchair.

Wonderful image from Le Jazz Hot short subject- wish it were animated!!

the great thing about YouTube is the ability to stumble across someone as wonderfully talented as Mean Mary and becoming an instant fan! thanks for all...

Classic noir! "Mama" was especially powerful-thanks.
