Charles Brown - Drifting Blues - 1983

this is awesome! i wonder why there aren't many views. thanks for putting it up :D

Brilliant performance from a master! Superb! Thanks for posting this.

Charles a terrific musician and the nicest man. I think I first heard him live in the 1980's (here in L.A). One time, when he played a very intimate club (the Vine St. Bar & Grill in Hollywood) I was annoyed that Bonnie Raitt wouldn't stay in her seat at the bar and was somewhat distracting as she stood in a doorway to be closer to the piano. I forgave her the next year when at the then-named Universal Amphitheater, I was delighted when her opening act turned out to be Charles Brown! LOL

I'm 17 so i haven't really listened to Blues music before. Wish there was more of it on the radio maybe, This is amazing.

Thanks for the video!

blues touches alot of people coz it speaks to the soul. every thing goin wrong in yr life garenteed theres a blues song out there wi yr name on it

Oh please, blue is everywhere! It is the basis of many other styles of music, including Rock. They have strictly blues stations on the radio, you just have to look for them. I do agree with you though that they should play more.

im fascinated by his style of playing the blues with this jumping base und ultra kickin right hand riffs and chords! It´s just amazing!

I love this guy. He plays the first few bars of Drifting Blues and I get goose bumps. It is really worthwhile to obtain his early recordings.

Is there any more of this gig? This one of the best Charles Brown videos!

nice vid :D
