Its amazing the kind of passion he put into his music all those years. It's the kind of passion that never fades. Even after he's gone.

Bukka White was BB King's Uncle. He really did sing his way out of prison. A real showman and great storyteller. He ripped in concert, and made up lyrics on the spot..... I saw him at the Ashgrove about 1972

This is my most favorite youtube. Please don't claim intellectual property on this. I didn't watch Elizebeth Cotton's "Freight Train" for a couple months. She has been dead for more than 10 years; now somebody said they own her song and took it off youtube.. It would be very bad karma to take this from people, don't do it.

I love how this is slightly different than his other performance of Aberdeen Mississippi. The timing is a little more loose. Bukka White is a cool dude.

I love this sooo much. This is the real deal . Thank God. there is footage of things like this still out there. Can we say, "Library of Congress". lol

@nuclear944 - These old blues tunes are really tough to cover well.

You start out vowing not to sound like a british pub rock band, but that is where you end up. (especially if you are British and playing in a pub).

@dioisfreakinamazing6 sam chatmon and bukka and son

[deewilki]

people go search for sam chatmon and the shieks they inspired patton and memphis slim ( they were all related) sam chatmon is truly a genius like bukka and all the old blues guys n girls way befor muddy or bb r johnston and many more sadly few now realise ther true greatness rip sam and bukka and the rest

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.
