  • @tromboista Your comments are way off, blues is not about color it's about soul and depths of soul and Eric has plenty of it. He can play the blues with the best of them, and is respected by all the black blues players. Check out the clip of Eric and Buddy Guy jammin in a small club back in the 80's and you will see and hear pure raw blues that Buddy can't even believe Eric can dish out. Not mechanical just pure raw unadulterated blues with soul.

  • @tromboista that is eric's way, i think he is too, but i dont think EVERY white man is- thats stereotyping, if you're saying that SRV for instance was mechanical, then thats plain wrong

  • @richsabre It´s not a racist comment. It is a cultural fact. Syncope is proper of black popular music everywhere on the planet. Just listen to it. Eric plays his phrases on time. Same thing happens when white musicians play salsa music or Latin percussion

  • @tromboista racist

  • White man can´t play Blues without sounding mechanical. No soul. Just a fact of nature

  • @MrMightyslim nobody schools eric

  • Eric was a kid and grade school when Otis was making blues records! Otis is one of the greats. He understood less is more, and that is a key to great blues imho.

  • Otis schools Eric. Otis's band is completely bad ass.

  • This is great - I had heard the song in this rendition many times but had no idea a clip actually existed - thank you!
