But there it is, and there we are
Hound Dog Taylor - Shake Your Money Maker
Watch slide guitar maestro Hound Dog Taylor tear up the stage with a blistering performance of Elmore James’ classic anthem, "Shake Your Moneymaker," recorded live for WDR Television in Germany on October 9, 1967. Captured during the legendary American Folk Blues Festival European tour, this rare, high-fidelity broadcast finds a powerhouse lineup of electric blues royalty completely hijacking a polished television soundstage and infusing it with pure South Side Chicago energy.
The performance thrives on a gritty, unpolished edge where there is absolutely nowhere to hide. Driven forward by Odie Payne’s iconic, driving drum shuffle and Dillard Crume's rock-solid bass pocket, the band locks into an infectious, high-speed groove. Hound Dog Taylor lets loose with his signature, raucous slide work—weaponizing a raw, overdriven guitar tone that practically defines the loose-pocket, house-rocking blues style. Right beside him, harmonica pioneer Little Walter weaves brilliant, aggressive horn-like counter-melodies around the rhythm, creating a historic collaboration of absolute masters simply feeding off each other's incredible onstage chemistry.
Certain guitarists possess a wild, infectious energy that turns any stage into an absolute party within the first few bars.
Donovan - Superlungs My Supergirl | jt1674
. . . . .erm how old Donovan?!
Much like Season of The Witch (which we all heard via Stephen Still's supergroup super session is this one super too! ?
I always thought this song was by the person who I first heard play it way back when, Terry Reid and thought it was named Superlungs after him! It is by Donovan and clearly is about a girl . . . .who just happens to be 14 according to the lyrics Rock and Roll has a hooray of it which when your fifteen seems okay but being a middle aged blues singer/ folkie or whatever singing ‘Good Morning Little School is just plain wrong huh? but what say you?. . . . . . .
Blind Connie Williams - 'Lead Me Home’ (sic)
Never what you might call a church goer! (confirmed Atheist! - ED) religious songs about the 'circle being unbroken' and 'going home' aways appealed, gospel and blues songs sharing the theme have always fascinated and this is no exception what a glorious song! For a Sunday!
Antoine Payen
Antoine says: "Yes I know, I posted this video a while ago, but whatever. Blind Connie Williams was a street musician in Philadelphia, he played from time to time with Reverend Gary Davis in New York. It's very little known today but I find it extremely moving, I can't get tired of watching and hearing him play and sing. He recorded about twenty tracks in 1961 that can be found on an excellent album just titled "Philadelphia Street Singer". Indispensable.”
he’s not wrong!
