@redkutai Your judgmental, pretentious, self-righteous, narrow-minded, self-fooling blathered assumptions & wrongful conclusions show no self-awareness to your "have to say"/"makes me" compulsiveness being a fear of truth, a selfish status quo enabling. Grow up! Your shame's inside YOU, and not the healthy kind. It's not negative or wrong to confront racism, plagiarism or jealous ignorant flamers! "Each of his videos?" Before you let your conflicted psyche attribute implications, take a breath!

@tastybrownsugar32 What I'm "partial to" per some comments I've made here, is that original creators not be ripped off, or when so, it's outed. Or, that they aren't dismissed by things like a harp-playing "bluze man" naming "Goin' Down Slow"(even with the SPOKEN parts imitated) in 'his' long-riffy upload simply, "Slow Blues" No writer's credits. I'M a published songwriter/singer/harp player too. I prefer original song but when covering one it was faithfully (but uniquely) & always credited SGS

@EliasFrostMusic There's quite a difference between enjoying something and performing it. I've never been a fan of the British invasion, that's all. (Nearly all of them have terrible voices.) And the comments from some of the people who believe the British originated this music are one of the reasons. I grew up listening to this music, and it irritates me when others get the credit for it.

@flomurdock So to have the "rights" to enjoy good music you have to be just as good? With that logic, you don't have the rights to enjoy any movie or enjoy any painting unless you have the skills to make said movie or paint said painting? What? :/

For those still in that juvenile period of declaring only blacks can play blues... grow up, it doesn't make you some exclusive elite musicologist. If Bloomfield was in Wolf's band in the 50s, you think you flakes would ever figure out he was white based solely on the records? Anyone even know that Muddys lead guitarist for a decade was white? So you'd tell the late Muddy himself that he hired a shitty guitarist since he's white, and therefore Muddy himself doesn't know "real" blues guitar?

[aleester]

OK, so moving past the very predictable and ignorant argument of whether white people can play blues, let me ask an actual relevant question...

WHO IS THE LEAD GUITAR PLAYER??!! Most sources and witnesses confirm that it is NOT Hubert Sumlin, but either Buddy Guy or Freddy King.... but which one??!! Just based on listening, I lean towards Freddy....

@cuznvinnie818 Yeah, the British guys were all bullshit. They loved the music but didn't have the talent or skills to reproduce it.

[flomurdock]

What are you people fighting about??? Great music is great music. Howlin' Wolf is one of the giants. Don't rip him off - but there are lots of others, too Please just listen to music with your ears, and stop being ugly about it. Those of you criticizing - how old are you? 25? You know noting about Howlin Wolf's music.

racism is healed traveling, fascim is healed reading.

[cuznvinnie818]

@Pfranklin28 I thought the same thing. These British acts that came over here I thought were all original but they have been covering old Blues tunes in a rock n roll ish way the whole time.
