The Blue Riders, an acoustic blues trio, were recorded in 1996. We champion the East Coast Piedmont style of blues, a style of music first popularized by artists like Blind Boy Fuller, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie McTell and Blind Blake.
Creedence Clearwater Revival just might have liked this clip.

you geezers are sheer class!

[tymjar]

At the time, we were just whippersnappers.

[LizzyDouglas]

Unbelievable that this sound comes from a three-men-band. The harpplayer is of great class !!

[tymjar]

Thanks Lizzy. Ben's using thumbstyle(Piedmont blues) and the fact that the soundman, a recording engineer, was using state-of-the-art(as of 1995) equipment explains some of the fullness of the sound. He loved mixing the Riders 'cause we always listened closely to each other and were sensitive to the need to vary balances of different songs and different section of songs, ourselves; the "old fashioned" way, not reliant on monitors.

[j7777777]

it do,nt look like hes using a slide ,yet it sounds dead like a slide !!!

[tymjar]

The slide is made of glass(gets the bottleneck sound). Because it's transparent, it's not easy to detect.

blues blues blues great blues

[PayinTheTowle]

I looked all over the internet and all I could find was some BS youtube version of Eric Clapton... Or some my space or I Tunes of the song Before you accuse me. I heard this song tonight and thought of some females and had to post it on face book. Even though it's not Eric Clapton they rocked it out harder than any video or song I have heard yet so gonrats gentelmen! I posted your video on my facebook well deserved men!

[cjjl2007]

Simply awesome. People like this are what keeps me going learning the harp.

[Wagin42]

Very Elmore James/ Little Walter influenced version - but very good for all that. I prefer your version to Clapton's, who wouldn't?. Yeah, I know Bo Diddley wrote this - I've had his record for 41 years!

[ivanlutter]
