Glad he mentioned Thumbs Carllile. They loved each other, Thumbs always spoke highly of Delaney. Both very unique people and wonderful musicians. So glad you posted this, thank you.
A real influence on so many players. Clapton left to play with the Delaney band for a while along with George Harrison. Delaney encouraged EC to sing. The first EC solo record sounds like it does because of Delaney. he helped EC write the songs and coached him line by line while doing the vocals.
RUN, BROTHER RABBIT RUN was a big hit in 1969 featuring Delaney's unique powerful vocal performance capabilities. The song was featured in the 1969 United Artists motion picture SWIMMING POOL starring Alain Delon who just passed away in August. RIP
My dad played with him for many years and was a great friend. cool fact that little amplifier he’s playing that was Eric Clapton‘s. They used on Eric Claptons first solo record
I was buying the old guitar in the early 70’s for $150 bucks all day long from a local trading post mag. Now they want $15-$16 grand for one that’s had mods done to it. I had sent a few out to have them repainted at a local body shop. The market & culture has made these so popular & expensive that the average player cannot afford one & honestly they weren’t any different that the newer models were in the 1970’s .
2:54. Get his point about unnecessary changes to designs, but that 5-way switch option is just a couple of tiny notches in the metal and has no effect on the sound; it just removes the risk of accidentally knocking the switch out of 2-pickup mode when you're playing.
It appears evident in Delaney's slid prowess how Eric would of easily been compelled to join forces with him , If Robert Johnson would of lived he would of undoubtably been drawn to the Telecaster and Delaney provides solid validation to that end .With Duane's 61' Strat Delaney embraces the Southern culture and provides insight on the result o being musically cultivated in the South. RIP Delaney.
I had a guitar shop in Tempe, AZ in the eighties, and one of the guys in his band brought in that telecaster and offered it to us for $600. I turned it down because it was for drugs. It wasn't Delaney.
Bet that guitar weighs a ton! I played some of them from the prototype and early ones just before and after the George and they were just heavy! The Strat on the other hand is sweet and alive!
@@harvey1954there's an interview out there of Herbie Mann telling that same story Delaney told. Herbie said he had just got out of shower and heard Duane playing from his apartment and walked to the stage to play.
You can go to the google image site & find some of the photos of Duane at Muscle Shoals playing one which may have been this one. He used Strat's on a lot of the Soul sessions he played. He also used a Telecaster in the early days before The Allmans formed.
George Harrison hated that guitar. Its probably why he gave it away. I have a rosewood telecaster. Thought it would have an amazing tele sound but it doesn't. Its just a unique piece. My Stratocaster gets most of the play. With a midrange boost and extra electronics I can get so many different sounds from it. My Fender Super Champ is, also, a great little amp.
There are questions as to wether the guitar was loaned or gifted to Delaney. George seemed to think it was a loan. Word from Bobby Whitlock was that Delaney showed up with a big bag of blow and got Duane Allman started on it. We know where that led.
George gave guitars away all of his life. People did in those days, they didn’t see them as holy relics like we do now. A 61 guitar in 1970 was seen as an old fairly unfashionable guitar. You could pick a 61 strat up for nothing in a thrift or pawn shop. There’s a famous interview with Clapton where he says he bought ten of them for next to nothing and took them all apart and picked the best bits and gave all the rest away, to Pete Townshend, Jeff beck, George Harrison. That’s how Blackie and Brownie were made.
@@thenameless3271 as far as I knew he experiment with various parts on it and that’s where he got the idea for Blackie. He took the neck off brownie and put it on the blind faith telecaster and put a new neck on brownie.
@@balke7935 Brownie had a Telecaster neck on it at one point when Eric was in Cream. He was using it as a backup to the Fool SG. As far as Delaney goes, he had a habit of poaching guitars from people (among other things - Whitlock talks about this). Eric apparently warned George beforehand that Delaney would ask for one of his guitars. I believe Delaney wound up with Eric's Firebird, too.
@@dukeford8893 George famously hated the rosewood tele. He was also very generous with guitars… Spike Milligan said he liked the Concert for Bangladesh strat. George sneaked it into the boot of Spikes car later that evening as a gift. It’s very believable to me that George gave Delaney that Tele.

and not even once did Eric mention Delaney or Bonnie in his biography documentary "Life in 12 bars". Not even one time.
RIP Mr. Bramlett. Can't believe its been almost 20 years without you.
What a wonderful treasure! Thanks so much for sharing this. A great way to start my day❤

Amazing.. Bonnie was the greatest ever and Delaney is legend

Music can only be fun when it's played seriously IMO, And in my experience. Then it can be a lotta fun.
Robert on the Tele and Skip on the Strat!
I read the harrison estate bought the tele back for 400k .
Dhani's doing.
My best friend
Less than one minute with George Harrisons Let it Be Telecaster ??????
❤
At 20:37.... The rooster agreed!! 😂

didn't your mommy ever tell you..nobody likes a little tattletale.
Y'all don't have to worry about posting the rest of this interview, someone already beat you to it.
I doubt it!!
DB and JJC changed EC

@11:13 pretty sure Delaney's talkin about Herbie Mann.
Tim Weisberg ?
@@harvey1954there's an interview out there of Herbie Mann telling that same story Delaney told. Herbie said he had just got out of shower and heard Duane playing from his apartment and walked to the stage to play.
Herbie Mann
Never knew Duane played a Fender.
I think he played a Strat on Picket's "Hey Jude".
@@Maltloaflegrande oh cool thanks. I'll give it a listen. I have noticed a different tone on the early stuff before the Bros.
Duane used a late fifties Duo-Sonic too in the studio.
anything that sounds good, use it!.

@@paullevine1813 thanks ill check it out!
Shawn Lane?
Shawn lane was something else....
What year is this from?
around 1990 I think
If the riff is too fast for me to hear, there is no reason for me to play it.

Just Blackie is a partscaster, Brownie is a stock 1956 strat.
