I lived in Oxford, MS, and got to see RL live one time, early 90s, in a small club. Got to see fellow North Mississippi blues guitarist Jr. Kimbrough in his club (where RL played regularly too) in Holly Springs, and the atmosphere was much like this. Throw in a bass and drums but not much more space and you have the idea. One of the best nights of my life, to see and feel and HEAR the power of this music, these people. This is one of the poorest counties in the country, and I drove up from Oxford with my two also very white friends, my Gf and her friend, and lo and behold we all forgot to bring money. I had left my wallet behind, too late to turn back. We counted the little bit we had, including dimes and nickels, and made a little over 5 bucks. Which was 5 cold Busch beers. After those 5, we were counting our dimes to see if we could make another beer, but alas, no. There were pool tables on the side, and I saw a man, much like one of the people in this video, motion me over. I went over and he asked what I was doing. I told him the story, that we were counting our money to see if we could make another beer, and he gave me a 5 and told me to have fun. I will nver forget that as long as I live.
Kind, wonderful who love & support their music and who show love to those who celebrate their music and their way of life. This is the noble side of America.
@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 it wasn't happening with the folks in the joint but it was happening in the west African rhythm of the music. It's a style even without participation.
And real-real lame compared to the origional Great song HONKEY TONK by Bill Dogget and his great musical artists in his band--- sax,guitar,drums, Bill on organ. That HONKEY TONK big hit in the late 50's will live on forever❗👍👌🎯 Not so much THIS ms.delta roadhouse boogie verson of honkey tonk--- oh it's good boogie, just not the same level as Bill Dogget's great verson❗😖 🤚👳♂️
@@TavFalcoFilm I'm concerned about the sister the camera zoomed in on @ 13:05. She looks so sad for being in such a happening place! She looks like somebody stole her man, stepped on her foot, kicked her dog, and talked trash about her momma. Girl, listen to the advice of Kool and the Gang: "… How you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance By standing on the wall? (Get your back up off the wall) tell me, baby How you gonna do it if you really won't take a chance By standing on the wall?"😃 The woman shown at 14:00 is gorgeous and having a great time, though! I love her blouse with ruffled collar and sleeves and her perfectly coiffed hair. That blouse she's wearing would still look elegant and stylish today.
@@TavFalcoFilm That is beautiful! And so very true. I'm so much of a wallflower that I'm actually a hermit who only goes to town once a month. Indeed, the Blues and other great music is a comfort to me. My mother was born in 1920, and she loved jazz and swing music from the 30s and 40s. Now that I can look up music I remember her singing, I've discovered that she was a huge Louis Jordan fan, because she knew and sang his music. Now that I can hear the original LJ and his Tympany Five, I'm a big fan too! IMO, his very funny song, "Saturday Night Fish Fry" is very early Hip Hop!
@@TavFalcoFilm I saw a great bluesman in Pittsburgh..singer..band with full pa system.. he walked into the crowd, no mic, belting away clear as the day is long! Billy Price! Obviously he was later in the game than the great artists you speak of.. probably early 80's. God bless him. Btw liked and subscribed!
@@StUdLySOXfan You are right. That lavalier mic was connected to an open reel tape deck, which had a big surveillance-type production camera attached. For most of that footage, that big camera was mounted on a tripod. The camera I was shooting was a Sony Portapak utilizing the internal mic - as you can see & hear, sound & picture was captured handheld.
I worked with Cheri at the archive that once repped these tapes, this blew my mind back then and remains one of the greatest things I've ever seen on videotape. I tried in vain to get some labels interested in releasing it but nobody ever bit, thank you so much for making it available here.
@@TJNorton Gianni Marcucci recorded the best for Albatross Records. Fat Possum tried to follow in his footsteps, but never really matched it because Gianni slept on those blues men's floors.
I loved Canned Heat's take on Delta Blues, because their sincerity and love for the music was obvious. I never did like Eric Clapton though, not him as a person or his boring music. Yeah, he plays guitar very well, but I never thought he FELT this music in his soul the way it's intended. He just heard music he could steal to make money from. Maybe I dislike him because he broke up George Harrison's marriage, and then after he stole George's wife, he got tired of her and dumped her.😉 Clapton just always seemed disingenuous to me. IMO, he ruined "Crossroads" by overdoing the electric guitars and making it into a jangly mess that ruined the true spirit of the song. The song should be "haunt-y", not jaunty. Eric Clapton's version (with Cream) of "I'm So Glad" is so cringey that I hated the song, until I heard the 1931 original by the man who wrote it, Skip James. At least the band Cream paid Skip James royalties for stinking up his great song, but I think James was the better guitar picker, and vocalist. Canned Heat understood, and they kept that spooky kind of swamp-voodoo spirit simplicity of the blues songs, with the harmonica, falsetto voice, and rhythm guitar.
Никакая не транс!Она наоборот выводит из танса!Для каждого порядочного человека,с менталитетом ,с душой это не транс!!!Я бы даже сказала:это ,в соём роде,Скрябин!Спасибо за Доброе утро!
This is Real Music that has Soul. I have a 65 Harmony similar to one shown, and I keep telling my 29 year old Son that it is capable of amazing Tone in right hands.
White people went to honky tonks, hence the name. Black people went to juke joints or juke houses. Take it from someone raised in the Mississippi Delta in the 1950-60s. What few juke houses in Mississippi (now) are sanitized for your protection - tourist attractions.
One of the coolest adventures to understand real diversity. I grew up on Hank Williams, Fats Domino, and anything else with a solid groove. As a result, Not only do I play in this genre, but many others as well. This is the very base of most American Music. And more than A Lot came from Mississippi and the rest of the delta area. I have many relatives down that way. It's in the Soul.
@@TavFalcoFilm But he was driving cabs, and was on welfare until Fat Possum got him into the public eye. Shame it took so long for him to get a decent income for his performances.
Absolute trance - just briiliant! - i sometimes imagine what incredible music would have been made if RL and the Desert blues group Tinariwen were in the same room - or juke joint! 🎸
White people went to Honky Tonks (hence the name), black people went to juke joints or juke houses. We had one in my hometown, Farrell, Mississippi, about 8 miles west of Clarksdale, called the Wagon Wheel. Robert Nighthawk, Elmore James, Sonny Boy and Little Walter all played there. When I was a little white boy, I used to go up there and peek in the window. It looked a lot like this - nothing fancy. When I was in my late teens up until I was in my 30s, I used to hang out in juke joints around Clarksdale. What few there are in Mississippi now are all tourist traps, sanitized for your protection. Back in the 50-60s a lot of the patrons carried guns. It was pretty rough. I knew several people who were shot or stabbed in them. Great film. Pretty raw alright. Not sanitized…💙
Nothing sanitary about The Brotherhood Sportsmen's Club. Outside of Bobby Rae Watson & Kenny Brown, who were hardly honkies, few white folks tipped into this tonk. We also called it a juke joint. You're right though, hillbillies spoke of their joints as honky tonks - some stylish music in those, too.
Even though I was 5 years old in 1974, I remember eras like this. Some people who had a shack or a building on their property, they would call it a (Hold In The Wall) where they will party , sell food and have a great time without any violence 🌹👏🖤🤎✊
What’s amazing to me is people back then had so little, all they needed was a guitar and a voice and maybe a little moonshine, rot gut, bath tub gin, grandpa’s hooch or a simple beer to dance and have a good time. Now they need an entire spectacle of singers, dancers, drill team routine, pyrotechnics, pre - recorded music with pitch correction, pharmaceutical drugs etc… people listen with their eyes now instead of with their ears, heart and soul. It make me sad… and at the same time it makes me happy that I’m not one of those people
This is just a treasure to have, music at its basic roots. I've seen this many times and keep watching from the music to the crowd, this is just special.
Faut bien s'amuser , très bon documentaire . Le vrai blues du Mississippi Queen . Les Rollings stones avaient compris , l' inspiration vient de là .

Top film. Excellent footage and sound. RL Burnside is one o the happiest folk Av ever seen. What a guy. Really good video brother. Thank you for that ❤
Wow I feel like I am there, that's how great this guy was. And the people are just having so much fun. I would do anything to go back in time and just be there.
I had tears of joy in my eyes, when i saw this video for the first time. I have no words to tell how wonderful this is! It's so raw, authentic, hypnotic, ecstatic, erotic ... Thank you for this video!!
@TavFalcoFilm bro thanx for alerting me to this bluesman! Is he tuned to a variation of F in Jumpers? I just recorded a 15 min. interpretation of mine on my phone LOL! (All l got :( Love his style. You knew him?
@TavFalcoFilm Wow coool. A medium to capture magic from mag-icians :) for sure! You ever see Jimi in his days around Nashville? I met Billy 2011, (sent him a demo and actually he called us after he heard it! A real honor!) Story is a feather in my bandana ;)
He lit up a room! And had a warm smile just discovered him. A new influence now & inspiration. Wonder what in the world he thought of Jimi -sometimes l hear a tinge of Hendrix.. - but in his vocals!
This is the most magical thing I’ve ever seen and heard. This is my first time hearing of RL Burnside and now I’m hooked! This is the kind of artist D’Angelo is to me.
Watch how the people respond to the guitar. This video tells you all you need to know about why and what blues guitar is. This video tells you all you need to know about where music itself comes from.
@@TavFalcoFilm Pretty much all music came from that. It's with the country Blues that you can see humans stripped back down to their bare essentials, creating music from scratch again.
R.L Burnside is one of the GREATEST, look up more of his music with accompaniment. ALSO one of his sons is in North Mississippi All Stars where this and more music is made ATOMIC.
@@mwpalmgmailcom Most of what you see here - esp., the handheld material was recorded by me. The edits were also made by me. This is the result of a mission by the art-action video group I co-founded with Randall Lyon - TeleVista Projects, Memphis.
You can hear Mississippi Fred's influence on RL. Most don't know that McDowell would take a young RL Burnside to play with him at fish fries n house parties. So that timeline puts it about 1942 ish.
One man with one guitar. That was a party.
Naked soul.
@@TavFalcoFilm 4 Realz! Amen!

Old as the hills and deeper than the swamps.

The Mississippi hill blues will put you in a trance!!!
Totally tranced-out since I heard 1st note of it.
@@TavFalcoFilm Reminds me of the album called Trance that Reebop Kwaku Baah recorded with the Ganoua tribe.
@@geoffreypiltz271 I can only imagine.
I'm still tranced out.
One of Mississippi Hill Blues' main nicknames is "the hypnotic boogie" - google it, it's true.
Guitar, amp, vocals. No mics, no PA, no stage, no system nothing. A house party just the way it's s'posed to be.
Use what you got at hand. Best policy.

Because you danced, the hearts of those women opened. Not gone, something of the soul of those women and their barroom society endures within you.
wonderful !!! Let's Boogie !!!
Wow I feel like I am there, that's how great this guy was. And the people are just having so much fun. I would do anything to go back in time and just be there.
It was truly a rarified all nighter.
Memento mori - there is no going back.
I had tears of joy in my eyes, when i saw this video for the first time. I have no words to tell how wonderful this is! It's so raw, authentic, hypnotic, ecstatic, erotic ... Thank you for this video!!
Anytime, TK. It was also quite moving to capture these heightened moments.
@@TavFalcoFilm How's your doc coming along?
Making a movie - not a doc. All done as of last week. www.uraniadescending-themovie.com/

Raw! Love it. Thank you
Naked truth.
Man I need this in my life
Now you have it.
@@RAYGERVATO RL's playing was a huge inspiration on mine, too.
@TavFalcoFilm bro thanx for
alerting me to this bluesman!
Is he tuned to a variation of F
in Jumpers? I just recorded a
15 min. interpretation of mine
on my phone LOL! (All l got :(
Love his style. You knew him?
@@RAYGERVATO This is what happens when cameras are put in the hands of revolutionaries.
@TavFalcoFilm Wow coool.
A medium to capture magic
from mag-icians :) for sure!
You ever see Jimi in his days
around Nashville? I met Billy
2011, (sent him a demo and
actually he called us after he
heard it! A real honor!) Story
is a feather in my bandana ;)
Fantastic, the world is full of great wonder and we are all blessed to be able to see this masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing this!
This was a wonderous happening.
Tav Falco, i thank you for showing me this historical event.
Thank you for watching.
He lit up a room! And had a
warm smile just discovered
him. A new influence now &
inspiration. Wonder what in
the world he thought of Jimi
-sometimes l hear a tinge of
Hendrix.. - but in his vocals!
RL had true charisma esp. during his sharecropper days. Good question re: Jimi, whose own music was essentially blues.
I have never seen an atmosphere like this one, it's amazing
Unique to the territory.
Original blues sounds.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Out of a tradition, but original in style.
This is the most magical thing I’ve ever seen and heard. This is my first time hearing of RL Burnside and now I’m hooked! This is the kind of artist D’Angelo is to me.
The music on D'Angelo's album, Voodoo, is also melodically & rhythmically mesmerizing. In that regard, not unlike the secular dance music of RL.
Just amazing. Any viewers by chance there, that night??
Me. I was behind the camera.
This is to me when America was great
Amerika was still hanging on at this point.
Wrinkled old celt here - learning some jive talk! Much appreciated. Closest this little scots kid got was Earliest Dr John ….this I get ..thanks
Dr. John cut from same cloth, but that of the big city.
@@TavFalcoFilm ah - i was still at school when they came out- clean living catholic kid - I could hear it but not get it! A step beyond beyond xx
@@naradaian Stay clean.
Watch how the people respond to the guitar. This video tells you all you need to know about why and what blues guitar is. This video tells you all you need to know about where music itself comes from.
The Blues come from where the sun don't shine.
@@TavFalcoFilm Pretty much all music came from that. It's with the country Blues that you can see humans stripped back down to their bare essentials, creating music from scratch again.
If RL was there with his guitar, nobody ever asked for more.
Truth.
1974….everyone looks slim….
Slim & trim from dancing & hunching.
They smoked three packs a day
right. y'all know these folks worked hard every single day, no business sittin bein lazy
@@feed-kitty Burnside himself had just come in from a week of working in the fields driving a tractor.
@@Pete-z6e 🤔 Yes they do.. and 74 is even sort of _pre yayo_ days. Hehehe. At least compared to what it would soon become.
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for watching.
This is some of the rawest shit ive ever seen online. Thank you for putting this on youtube.
Bruh!!!! I'm melting.💪🏾🎸
Tear ass.
Glad you got into it, but watch your language. There are ladies present,
A Great and Holy Throwdown!
Holy throwdown to be sure.
R.L Burnside is one of the GREATEST, look up more of his music with accompaniment. ALSO one of his sons is in North Mississippi All Stars where this and more music is made ATOMIC.
Atomic rampage.
Holy Moly, this man is a one man rave
There was a 2nd guitarist at some points & sing-alongs.
probably the greatest piece of blues set to video ever
Certainly the loosest.
this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, made my year.
Amazing to capture it as well.
@@TavFalcoFilm @tav did you record this?? regardless, thank you for the film.
@@mwpalmgmailcom Most of what you see here - esp., the handheld material was recorded by me. The edits were also made by me. This is the result of a mission by the art-action video group I co-founded with Randall Lyon - TeleVista Projects, Memphis.
Brings back some fond house-party memories, looks like they had fun :)
Bags of fun.
Been in a few of those in my life. Good times.
All nighters.
Many thanks Gustavo. This is a real burning panther!
Panther, panther burning bright, in the forest of the night.
That was grooving - "put a dip in yer hip and a slide in yer glide".
That's the way to groove.
Absolutely brilliant. Love RL
Man I’d give anything to find a place like this!
Although fewer, there will always be joints like this down south.
I see where rock n roll got its rock n roll from💪🏾
Where R&R should go back.
"The blues had a baby and they named it rock'n'roll". It's true.
@@olaclaesson8074the blues had a lot of babies😊
@@rickmerritt128 For sure. Was just quoting Muddy Waters there.
Thanks for this, I always liked his music.
I also drank those 16 oz Schlitz beers back in the day..😎
Nothing but Schlitz in those joints.
That was "Fucking Kool!" R.L in his true element. Nitty fucking gritty!
An elemental artist in his own element.
Too kool Gus! The last time we talked our great collaborator Jess Henderson had just orbited! Keep Rockinf! B.B.
Jess is better off in orbit.
You can hear Mississippi Fred's influence on RL. Most don't know that McDowell would take a young RL Burnside to play with him at fish fries n house parties. So that timeline puts it about 1942 ish.
Where did you read this about Fred mentoring R.L. ?Makes sense as they both lived and worked around, Como MS.
Thanks for the background article.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Truly, so did I.
Oh yes! This was a groove!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Have mercy - a stone grove.
Nice one Tav. I saw RL Burnside a few times down here in Australia in the late 90s and he left an indelible memory.
RL was a snake charmer.
