this wrecks me





Derek's slide solo is fucking awesome in this. And Warren's tone in the the second solo is also orgasmic. I know Clapton makes some good songs, and i really like most of his slowhand album, but i find his solo in this, and some other tracks, to just be notes blasted out in the blues scales, with no thought.

I think you may be being a little harsh on EC there - it wasn't brilliant but likewise, wasn't that bad and he has set a pretty high bar in the past

man, Death letter by son house just cuts me



i dont know whether to feel crying shame or radiant joy that the blues came out of the worst conditions and harshest treatment of men, woman , and children that did absolutely nothing other than be born with black skin

Me too; at first it sunk it's hooks in me because it's catchy but after really listening to and reading the lyrics it lumped my throat. (In fact it's been stuck in my head for days now. Woke up with "You know love hides all faults, make you do things you don't want to do. Love sometimes, leave you feeling sad and blue" looping in my brain.)

 

It's funny I really enjoy the tempo and vocal delivery in this version. The toothless mouthing of words actually adds to the feel. :lol: If you search for more versions you'll notice it's almost never delivered the same way twice musically or lyrically. Also learned The White Stripes covered it. Their cover is garbage much like most of their music IMO but... This thread has me digging around and finding gems. I started a list of people to listen to and share in the future :ph34r:

 

Yeah, the foundations of our "civilized" societies are totally fucked.

 

 

 

 

 

So yesterday I was listing to some blues on Pandora and this song came on.

 

 

Immediately my brain began to hurt because I couldn't place where I had heard the riff before and I knew I had. Eventually I uncovered where the Joe Bonamassa - An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House album.

I am, ohh i am the blues.
I know the world knows ive been mistreated
And the whole world know ive been misused
I am the moan of suffering women
I am the groan of dying men
I am the last one to start
But i am the first one to begin

Just watching a video of BB King in concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Hell of voice, superb musician, bright as a button, telling a story "from a few years back when I was 84"

Amazing...hope I'm as lucid as that if I reach his age!

Can't post it up as it's a cable recording :(
