Roy Clark was so lovable because he shaped his playing to fit with the people around him. Roy was an astonishing player. Brilliant and fast. But he never let his prodigous talent overwhelm his ability to be entertaining. Roy made everybody smile.
A friend of mine (RIP) played pedal steel in Gatemouth's band and was also his musical director. Also played with him when he and Roy was doing a lot of shows together. He said the same thing about Gatemouth. Said he was also one of the most talented musicians he'd ever known and played with. And he'd performed with a ton of great ones throughout his career.
I’ve been playing guitar since I was four, and I often forget that there are more folks listening who have never picked up an instrument in their life, but just like the music. THIS is why I write songs. These guys rock, and I wish stuff like this would become mainstream again. There used to be a lot of class in the entertainment industry, but today…well…
Roy was by far one of the best guitar players ever! there wasn't a style he couldn't play. Gatemouth is fantastic, too. wish this was on heehaw back in the day.
Gates is Gates. Always a pleasure :) That said, it's a real shame many didn't/don't realize how talented and accomplished both Roy Clark and Glen Campbell were on their instruments--- particularly Roy. He demonstrated some pretty nifty licks in that exchange. Thanks so much for sharing.
People don't realize just how GOOD Roy Clark actually was. I had to click on this because "Gatemouth" used to visit Cincinnati where I lived at the time, and he always took the time to talk to us young aspiring musicians. I will always remember playing something and he'd say " PLAY IT ONE MO GIN" (play it again)! RIP Roy Clark and Gatemouth Brown.
Hee Haw was a great show. I watched it when I was a kid. I can remember it from around 1970 or so and watched it through the 70s. Excellent playing and singing. Roy Clark seemed like he was a great guy. Gatemouth was awesome.
Gotta love seeing/hearing old traditional songs. I always loved when the Grateful Dead played this, I must've seen it 20x over the yrs of following the boys 🕉🍄⚡️☯️☮️
I was lucky enough to see Gatemouth in the early 80s at the Wax Museum nightclub in DC, still have a button I bought that night. Never got to see Roy live, only on Hee Haw....
Talented multi instrumentalist. There are lots of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown recordings on Spotify in a range of styles. He was called "Gatemouth" because a school teacher once told him when he sang, it sounded like the hinges on a rusty gate.
@@mikefule Interesting. I'll check out the other videos. Here, he reminds me of a combination of Buddy Guy and Roy Buchanan. Pure joy in being a musician and he looks like a good natured man who sees the humor life. .
Gate was the Sheriff of Slidell, Louisiana for a number of years. I got to see him in Jan 1991 in Lafayette, LA at a club called POETS. He played the guitar as though it was a horn. If you can find any of his Duke/Peacock recordings from the '59s, you'll hear the licks that influenced a bunch of rock guitarists.
nice response to Roy's riff by Clarence. Bummer about the video quality but nice to hear the playing. Grateful Dead also featured this song as did Elizabeth Cotton.
I've always loved music. When I first heard ball and chain by Janis Joplin I was instantly converted to a hard core rock and roll fan Any great musician deserves kudos, but I lean towards guitar players that defy logic. People of course like Hendrix, page, beck, Zappa, and more. But Roy Clark takes the cake. I believe he missed his calling. He could have rewritten rock history.
@@CorneiliusLibowitztheir covers were usually better than their own stuff ' live' in my experience. tighter, in tune, made sense, and usually ended with going somewhere immediately after. i wish i had spent more of my time in the BA chasing cipollina and company. happy trails

Roy Clark one of the best guitar players on the planet🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gatemouth Brown is better. Even Roy would admit that.
@@Canucklehead557 not necessary but living up to your name
@@Canucklehead557 Roy kicks Gatemouth's butt!!
@@Canucklehead557 your delusional
It wasn't and isn't a competition. Change the narrative, enjoy the music.

This is wonderful. I was friends with Clarence. Yes, I'm a guitar player. He was one of the nicest people ever.

Damn he is good lucky you 😂
@@charles56737 he played about 10 instruments.
mr brown was an incredible player who i always thought was overlooked outside of the guitar world.... we knew what a monster he was
My uncle played and toured with Gate for many years. Met him many times, very nice man.

Golly look at that, guitarists shredding it up while playing actual songs. Amazing!
Two of the all time greats. Had the pleasure of seeing Gatemouth and Lightnin Hopkins in 1979. Great show.
Wow! Those were the days.

I can see it now: No Exit reprised; with Roy Clark and Danny Gatton trading cycles forever. Props to Gatemouth as an icon of genre.
First time I’ve seen this duet, great to watch 2 legends jamming!
This is too good🎸
When country music had real musicians ❤ sweet share thank you✌
Mr.Clarence was my friend..God rest his soul..!!
Great blending of musical styles - they are having such a good time - warms my heart ❤
Same Style
GREAT ❤😂😊😎
I was looking for this great tune performed by Roy and Gatemouth in years, and finally found it here. Thanks a lot!
Hee Haw was a great show. I watched it when I was a kid. I can remember it from around 1970 or so and watched it through the 70s.
Excellent playing and singing.
Roy Clark seemed like he was a great guy.
Gatemouth was awesome.
HAW~HEE❕
Roy Clark, always a gentleman, does his thing in his first solo, then leaves a lot on the table on the exit solo so he doesn't outshine his guests.
Gotta love seeing/hearing old traditional songs. I always loved when the Grateful Dead played this, I must've seen it 20x over the yrs of following the boys
🕉🍄⚡️☯️☮️
Two music greats together - thanks for bringing this one back!
Just a little bit of C&W whitewashing going on.
I have never seen this before. But what a blast.
Excellent 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻
Damn, that was fun!
Played with Gate a few times in New Orleans. Effortlessly soulful.
HEE HAW=Awesome show, great musicians , good times and hot chicks, hope these guys are jammin in heaven
I was lucky enough to see Gatemouth in the early 80s at the Wax Museum nightclub in DC, still have a button I bought that night. Never got to see Roy live, only on Hee Haw....
You think these old guys weren't very good? Think again! Two amazing talents.
2 FABULOUSLY " GREATS " HAVING A BLAST !!
Two Legends ! Rip.
Sadly Clarence Brown died unnecessary, he got caught in Hurricane Katrina (?) With no way to get out😢
Rollin' a phatty and wishin Jerry had been a third to all this.😎🎸🎸🎸🎸.
Wow two of the finest musicians ever. They both had great humor too. Just the thing I needed at this moment. Thank you!
Kiss&Tell, the absolute most underrated guitar player ever.
Roy Clark can play the devil out of guitar!
Both had incredible touch, making it look so easy.
I'm so glad I got to see Gate before he passed.
Love it
PIckin' and a grinnin'. Upvote.
2 great guitarists and singers
This is absolutely priceless!😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jesus, so much greatness!
Two great musicians talented in many instruments and genres.
Thank you, my brothers, and God bless. Having mercy on your souls. Amen
So cool we can watch these great old tv shows
Nothing Roy Clark does can surprise me any more. But Clarence Brown was a revelation. Knew his name, never heard him. Pretty damn slick!
That was a dream team jam.
Oh this is just bad ass. I can listen to this shit all day.
If memory serves me correctly, this was on Hee Haw, I remember seeing it.
Sometimes, I forget just how good Roy Clark was. Excellent post!
The only thing wrong here is that both are having too much fun, and they are not feeling bad.😂
Two great legends in music.
Pure developed talent !
OMG That was Freaking Awesome I got to listen to more Gatemouth 😂
God Roy Clark could play! I remember him on the Grand Ole opre but he never could quite cut loose
What a gem!
That was beautiful, on multiple levels.
pure joy and respect.... nothing more entertaining.
Two Greats
That was ,as they say nowadays, totally cool. Thank you.
Real nice clean tone from both guitars.
Great knows great.
THIS has made my day! Thank you!
Roy Clark had loads of talent
Perfection
CGMB was a regular houseband member on "The Beat" mid 1960s TV show.
Hard to believe that as of yesterday (Nov 15) Roy has been gone six years
Thank you for posting! I had never heard of Clarence Brown. One helluva solo starting around 2:30.
Talented multi instrumentalist. There are lots of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown recordings on Spotify in a range of styles. He was called "Gatemouth" because a school teacher once told him when he sang, it sounded like the hinges on a rusty gate.

thanks a lot for this, just watched a vid of widemouth with canned heat.
I have that album!
Leather topped Firebird
awesome...and i had to wait 67 yrs an watch utbe for that wtf
Greatful dead anyone
This was great tho. Roy is awesome
Classic!
Frank Zappa was a huge fan of “Gatemouth” .
Didn’t know that. Thanks!
Sweet
Gate!!!
nice response to Roy's riff by Clarence. Bummer about the video quality but nice to hear the playing. Grateful Dead also featured this song as did Elizabeth Cotton.
what an odd coupling; 2 great pickers; God bless RUclips
Not at all, they released an album together in 1979 called Making Music
🎉🎉
👍😎
Great Woody Guthrie Song - "Ain't gonna be treated this a'way"/Blowin Down that this old dusty Road / Going down ...
woody's version of a dozen other takes on lyrics that came decades before he could walk
@@genripper-b8q Cousin Emmy did one of the earlier versions. She was Grandpa Jones' mentor.
@@darrellpetersen133 thnx. will dive into that. henry winter 1923 is the first on wax i believe
Great video but your description is lacking. Where and When????
So much 6 string action going in her that the hot bass playing is being overlooked. Yeah I'm a bassist so I notice that stuff.

The Grateful Dead brought me here.
Irritating that the video was so blurry -- but the audio was fine. It was a great guitar and vocal duet.
School him Clarence school him
Roy was a flash in the pan. Not much talent or subtlety. Never amounted to much. A product of early media.
roy clark looks in pain...gate mouth its a walk in the park.😅
Gate was a habitual pot head and no doubt is totally blitzed here.
a guitar player who smokes pot?!?!?!? You don't say! Should we start listing all of the famous musicians who smoked pot?
I thought this was a Grateful Dead original.
half the dead catalogue is early 20th century trad folk... on wax in 1923 Henry Winter.
@@genripper-b8q The Dead were the best cover band ever, tho Billy Strings is pretty good too.

I’ve listened to the Dead version sooo many times.
I ran in to Clarence he was talking to Ella' Fitzgerald in Montreux
