There's something dark and eerie about the tone of this old Dobro Duolian resonator... it always sounds like it was just pulled out of the swamp. I picked it up today, and started a slow rhythm on the bass string, with my foot tapping on a tambourine, and this melody began to snake it's way out.

Ty for playing good sir
🔥 killin it. Plus you don't seem like a prick. 👍 keep it going buddy. ✌
Mr Johnson you're quite amazing with that guitar! So much feeling!
I recognize the sound I just never knew the type of instrument was playing. Sounds fabulous, thank you.
You and Tyler Childers would be sick!
Can someone just make an outlaw western movie with Justin in charge of the soundtrack please
Get rid of the finger slide and maybe
Cause it could never top "Dead Man"
Neil Young.. Johnny Depp..western, blackand white..best movie of all time. Soundtrack theme is much superior
I’m on it
Amen to that
For real tho
Why is it always around 3 am that you discover the best song ever made , a masterpiece
Hopefully, you have saved it and you can now hear it whenever you want :)
tres de la mañana es verdad
3am..witchin' hour 😎
You didn’t find the music the music found you
Gooood question.
Ive loved this song since I first heard it. Few weeks ago I was driving down an interstate in the Louisiana area around sunset and a fog started rolling in as soon as this song started. Couple the song, with the fog, and the drone of my straight piped Peterbilt rolling along it was literally one of the most amazing moments of my life.
Straight pipe Peterbilt rolling down the back roads round the scales
Now that brings back memories dude
Beautiful
Cool 😎
This just gave me chills. I drive too brother
❤
I can only describe this type of blues as "acceptance." Accepting pain, loss and the inevitability of death. Understanding that its a part of living and being content with your life, even as it fades away. Greeting the reaper with open arms like an old friend.
mas felizes que nunca
Yo bebe!!! I ain't leaving without screaming and kickin!!! Funk, they may even hefta call the cops on my arse!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, but also so much more depth. Also, there's love of music and the communication of so many emotions that words just cannot convey. An immeasurable depth of spirit and soul and honesty. And more...
@@romaczernysz6207 well said.🤔
Your comments reminds me of that Jim Jarmusch movie, Dead Man. And Neil Youngs ost is so mystical and definite.
This is the sexiest sound I've ever heard come out of a guitar. Give me this man, a back porch overlooking the bayou, a sweaty summer night, and a whiskey.
A moon jar of corn whiskey.
Hell yes
Took the words right out of my mouth 👌
And a hot woman in daisy duke shorts, cowboy boots and a torn up t-shirt. 😂
Sounds perfect
While I listen to Justin's incredible playing I can close my eyes and see the black bayou waters in front of my boyhood southern home -- a pale moon, a dark purple sky, Spanish moss lingering from the oaks, reflections of eyes just above the water line, a seafood boil on the fire, the scent of whisky lingering on a warm breeze, sweat on the brow, a misty fog rolling in like smoke, the smell of rain.
Thank you Justin for sharing your incredible talents with us!
That description is so beautiful riveting and utterly gothic. If your aren't a writer yet, you should be!
It gives me the same childhood memories. And I was never within 1000 miles of a bayou in my life. 😄
Great comment!!!
Wow, what a great visual you described!
There is something so mystical and magical about the swamp /wetlands areas! I love that Spanish moss hanging
from the branches of those trees! How lucky you are to have that memory from your childhood when you were a boy!
My bucket list states to visit: Kentucky, Louisiana , Tennessee and Arkansas!!
And to meet Mr. Justin Johnson would be an amazing way to fill my bucket before turning this old brood mare into the forever pastures of the afterlife!!
Sounds crazy huh? Well I’m from California, that kind of wraps it up in a nutshell doesn’t it? Lol, hahaha!!
It sucks to live here, taxes out of control,
most people die broke ass without a pot to piss in!! Take care, love your comment!!
I think you just wrote the lyrics for this song!
If Rockstar ever makes Red Dead Redemption 3, put this guy in charge of the music.
Apsolutly
If you lose your way, your connection to your soul, this man's music will return you to your path. God Bless
I'm not listening to you play music, I'm hearing you tell a story without words.
💕🌹🌹😘
Yeap right, it was coming me to sing
WHOA 🤯🤯
It's the chapter of a story told from the vary heart of the soul.
It is true. Absolutely.
I love when he plays slide on the resonator. Sounds like a movie scene where a murder is about to go down. Heavy and dark... good job JJ
An excellent choice for a John Wick movie. 👍
Check out Last Man Standing soundtrack by Run Cooder. Good flick too!
Matt Higgins it’s usually around June 1st so yes it has... I’m hoping to go to it next year
How could you ever associate anything justin plays with something so negative and vile like murder, is beyond me
Sabine Garry I only said that’s what it sounds like... I’m definitely not putting a negative or vile connotation towards anything JJ plays
I never realized that I liked blues until I heard this song. Thank you for adding a new level of enjoyment to my life 🙂
You like JJ !!! The genre he play is irrelevant !!!
All Them Witches is my modern fave. Rory Gallagher is my old school fave.
I just discovered there was such a thing called dark delta blues yesterday. Now I'm in love
I don't know how to say this I'm 63 years old and I don't know a whole lot about music, but I just listened to your music video and oh my gosh it was beautiful , it evoked so many feelings and I just hope everybody appreciates your talent cuz you're awesome, God bless
I'm 64 and I teach music. They never taught me this in college, although I already knew about it, but not like this. My soul has been taken aback.
Am 62 years young . You are on my “ to see live “ bucket list .
I really hope you get to see him live.
I'm 38, an i have a bucket list sadly. I hope i get to see, do, and own in the time i have left.
No 1 should have a Bucket List at 38, i wish you all the best an good luck.
Much obliged 🤘🍻🚬🇨🇦
Me tooo,but 66,🌹💕🌹
He could make a bucket sound cool
H.ll yah I remember sitting on the front porch with my step dad while he played the gituar and sometimes we sang together.. without music .....my. Soul would either and die . I absolutely loved the sound...thank you for a the wonderful memories..
@elissa f i have reasons I won't talk about on here, but it's a sad thing to actually have a bucket-list at my age.
Dont want 1, but i do.
Bro you are one of the most fascinating and talented musicians I've ever heard. I've spent hours listening to you on repeat and I just can't get tired of it. It's real hard to turn it down and almost fucking impossible to turn it off. Holy shit. Me encanta.
What ^he^ (Randy Strahin) said! Unfuckingbelievable! I just stumbled upon your channel earlier this morning and have been viewing/listening non-stop since. I had to log on to work and have your "Bottleneck Slide Guitar" one-hour of slide guitar playing in the background of my applications while I work. Am anxious for this workday to end so I can l really explore your channel. LOVE IT!
What he said
Yo tambien
Yes!
Randy; a mi también me encanta 😻
Man, this just coils up in the back of your soul and rattles at you when you look at it. What a fuckin' slow, smoke-curling banger.
Justin's playing is hypnotic & mystical
It's not just that he's a fantastic player
It's like his soul comes out & envelops his guitar
Amazing stuff that I can always listen to 👍👍
Bayou trance. Even the gator 🐊 in my backyard has mellowed out
“Do not feed hallucinogens to the Alligators” meme
😂
A plus one for you, sir. That's a nicely crafted, precise term.
U 1 sick puppy!!!🤣🤣🤣
I am definitely getting into this kind of playing. Played black, and death metal for 10 years, time to get into blues and the darker country
Always great hearing guitar players discovering their right hand! Good luck on that endeavour!
@@mmgthetartarboi3037. Thanks it's definitely been a journey from fast tremolo picking to finger picking. Went out and got a guitar like this and haven't put it down
Are you in Northern California by any chance? I'm trying to do the same thing. Bar venues are dead but private parties with 100 people is where it's at. Playing dive bars sucks anyways.
@@12StringHWY Na I'm in tn
You must be having a Gary Moore epiphany. Enjoy the music of the people - the blues
I don't think I can listen to this song enough times! Absolutely awesome!
The bayou just has that ancient mystery to it, creepy and beautiful at the same time, a place to be respected. I'd be interested in visiting it one day.
When Justin plays it's like an entire movie unfolds before your eyes and you are just an unseen character in the backdrop of Justin's life...
You‘ve put it just perfectly!
@@filippop.6172 Me too
Actually I was watching and was just waiting for Clint Eastwood to come walking in...
This hit me hard. The tone and the depth of that sound rolled across my soul like I had been waiting my whole life to hear it. Haunting. If i had to choose one instrument in one genre to hear for the rest of my life and nothing else forever, this would be my drug of choice with no regrets. I've never heard this til now and yet I feel like I've always known it. Wow!
Some truly beautiful words. Couldn't have said it better myself
Play em boy. Sounds like your life depends on em. Does mine. Theres joy way deep down under those blues. You remind me so much of my good friend JB Ritchie. I used to manage him back in the day. He played those beautiful blues too. Thank you for reaching me. Marta
Amen. Toda bone
@@martagraf5805 well said, well said.
U speak deeeep.
The tones from this guitar are amazing. His technique is flawless.
Im responsible for 2500 Veiws.
lol. I get it, I come back often.
Close second!❤😂
Great, now I’ll never catch up.
Haha! Damnit. I thought I was winning.
I feel ya
I feel like I’m sitting on the back porch of a swamp house watching the night fog roll in. Love your sound.
Me too!
Horsedog20 Amen
You need to look up Bones Owens-Long Long Time 👍
Sitting on a rocking chair with a shotgun
And if you listen carefully you hear the frogs call from a pond nearby
I'm originally from Louisiana. South of I-10. That right there puts me at home. I would love to play guitar like that. High praises brother.
The t
MS south of 10 here
Biloxi here 🎶
Dirty south 🤟👌❤️
NOLA born and raised. This hits home for me
It just doesn't get any better than this.
Непередаваемая атмосфера. Эта музыка рисует картинки в моем воображении!
The stars and moons on the plate are perfect... This is dark night magic.
Mr Johnson, I really meant it when I said I hope to see you live someday! I’m 73yrs old,still in good shape but who knows? I thought I read that you live in Tennessee? Are you doing any public concerts? I have a lot of kin fokes who are buried there and I need to visit them before I die. You sir have a amazing gift and I really hope you years of success. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to your music!!!
Dear sir, I hope your wish to see and listen to Justin live becomes a reality soon. It‘s a good thought that you two meet. BEST wishes for you from Germany🖖
Sambesi sky This young man is Amazing! It’s good to see people from around the world are watching him,what a gift he has!! Thank you for your reply!!
hope it comes true 4 u
hey 73's not as old as it used to be
Love to join you. I'm 77 in fairly good shape with alot of sass left. 👍
As another chilly southern night comes. I return again, to hear these chillingly beautiful chords. As the winds blow Foul, i sit oblivious to them. Immersed in my new favorite song.
This song really does make me feel alive, and even happy. It really does grab my emotions like nothing ever has before. I just wish there was a 10 hour loop, so i can sleep to this...
Its got that melancholy and then suddenly quite uplifting...its an emotional rollercoaster🙂
I've never heard a bad song by Justin but I come back to this one over and over
There are only a few people in the world that can make a guitar speak and you are one of them
We need a real bayou witch movie with this soundtrack
i can play the witch cos i am one u r specking to one of coven 13 witchers
Even if the movie wasn't very good, the soundtrack would make it worth seeing
And this song could be the opening title, or if they made a new western series, same thing. This would be dope to have with the names of the actors and directors etc popping up and vanishing into smoke
Chock full of cypress knees please!
The Movie Skeleton Key
If there were a Part Two
Justin Johnson would be perfection
No music this decade has caught my attention like his
The most timeless instrument on the face of this Earth. It has heavy grit undertones even acoustically and yet it's balanced out with melodic midrange and highs. Hats off to a musical genius like this who can make this grand instrument sing from the past into modern times.
I always like how you get the right atmosphere with the attention to background. Not to mention your incredibly soulful playing.
When I listen to this song, the whole neighborhood does too
Great tunes
LOL!😂😂
YUH!
Never heard that joke before.
So you're one of those inconsiderate jerkwads who FORCES others to listen to your music? Rude.
One of the younger heir's apparent to Ry Cooder and J.J. Cale, and too many black bluesmen /blueswomen to name. Love "atmospheric" Blues.
Well said
Ahhh gives me chills so darkly mesmerizing but also comforting speaking to my soul
The words don't exist to describe how good this track is. Adding it to my playlist of favorite individual music tracks.
Rockstars games should just hire him permanently to make music on the “red dead” line of games.
Please contact
2K shoulda got him for Mafia III
Ok, but what about someone doing a Red Dead Twitch stream and just have him set up in the background?
This tune needs to be in Hunt: Showdown, it fits the theme perfectly
Yeah dude thats for damn sure
That right there is a whole movie soundtrack. Magic.
Incredible what a guy and a guitar can do. This is one of Justin's very best. Pure art... And an instant classic in the soundtrack of my life.
This is the most unique video sound I've ever heard out of slide,really mesmerizing.
if it's the end of the world, it's less serious than if I hadn't heard that and everything you do with your immense talent, your heart, your soul. thank you
awesomer johnson
There’s a lot of musicians out there. But this man is a surgeon. He just cut his own heart open and bled all over that guitar.
That's a real bad surgeon.
I love coming back to listen to this wonderful melody. This song reaches into my soul and makes me feel at ease.
Born and raised in the back country of central North Carolina, always loved metal and rock, something about this took me back down to the core of my roots in my soul. Well done.
The 502 dislikes are from the dead among us with no souls, as this sound hit's the soul, speaks to it and profoundly moves it. If you want to see if you have a soul, just close your eyes and listen, if you start getting visuals that is just simply your soul taking you on a journey as the music moves it.
It's from the lost dead souls he summoned from their eternal bayou graves....
Put pressure on your eyes. Then you see things without needing to listen to anything.
Or red ping pong balls. And red light. Also, most people cannot stand to be in a sensory deprivation chamber for a reason.
@lola Blakeslee wow, as the joker would say "Why Sooooo Serious?"
I'm sorry, but it just reminds me too much of the time I sold my soul to the devil at those crossroads. I really wish I'd traded it for something better than being the greatest The Dukes of Hazzard board game player, though.
Hory Shit! I did not know this genra existed and now I NEED MORE!
swamp rock and dark country are some of the names this genre is being called.
you're looking for it, so it will find you.
Just seeing this for the first time, and i am so mesmerized and put at ease. I felt my blood pressure go up really high not so long ago because of too much stress and anxiety, and this brought it back down!! So ethereal and hypnotically lovely!!!
Your DARK BLUES is a true WOODOO - just what I was looking for! Thank you so much, Mister Johnson!
Also can we mention how insane the setting is?? Such a cool backdrop for this
Is he against an upright honky tonk piano, or so that a bar? Huge windows, mystical glassy witchy objects on the bar...
Still waiting on the "Swamp Blues" album....I think WE ALL are
Absolutely.
YES!
Bring it!
Beautiful. Simple, yat sublime. tone, touch, feel, every note the right played with intention. Justin is one of today's greats.
Oh yeah and the guitar is absolutely beautiful too.
Such a distinguished sound, feel and rhythm. Very amazing track
I get a smile on my face when I get home from work and see you've posted something. With this one, I could see myself sitting on my deck, my dog panting, birds chirping and the pop of a beer cap. Thank you.
The man at his best and in fine form. Simply sublime playing that tells an entire story without a word uttered. Awesome.
I can't explain in words what this song does.... It does what it does...
You have a gift my friend
Thank you for your gift Justin Johnson you're a blessing in the blues thank you for keeping blues alive
Absolutely perfect for the travel music in Borderlands.
That was my thoughts. Total Borderlands 1/2 vibe.
"oh, howdy! I didn't see ya there."
cATCH A RIIIIDE
I've been listening to this for hours and i just can't get enough, the eerie dark vibe, the vibrations, the rhythm are absolutely out of this world...i can't tell how happy i am this song exists, you are a legend Justin and i enjoy listening to these master pieces, thank you!
we are watching history be made.
right here.
right now
at 33 years old hes a legend in his own time.
gods above and gods below stand in awe.
i love this music.
His intensity playing blues is magic to my ears. Thank you Justin
This music reaches way down in your innermost being. Just cannot get enough of listening to Justin.
"Dark and eerie" boy is it ever!
I love this piece, and the title is fitting. Eerie, soulful, and mesmerizing at the same time.
I love this guitar! The stars and crescents are beautiful and the haunting sounds that just pour out of her are entrancing. You are a musical storyteller and the best finger picker I've ever heard. Please keep sharing your amazing talent.
Except the broken hearted pain driving it
Wow! Just...Wow. this is such a beautiful fusion of earthly and ethereal rhythms
Yep, another one to add to my “Bad Ass Music” playlist
Love that resonator sound!
One my favorite beautifully played. Mad skills brother
Beyond his talent, M. Johnson brings Country Blues now into another space. We thought all was already said there but obviously not, his musicality extends it. Hats off!
There are few things in life that are actually perfect but, by God, this tune is.
Haunting.. and so Beautiful .. when he plays the resonator, it reminds me of my Dad, who played one for 60 years. This Kid is equal in talent to my Father, who played decades... such a Talent to put so much emotion in his music ! Thank you JJ for keeping music alive !
Adrian ?
@@andyuscum hiya..my Father was Otis O'Dell Compton.. here in SC he knew everybody. He mostly played drums all his life but he also played sax ,keyboards, slide guitar, lead guitar bass, rhythm guitar dobro and the resonator guitar, he played all genres and I just adored my Daddy. He played decades and justin already plays better than Dad.. an amazing talent
You have such a Special Talent and Gift with the Guitar....your playing touches the depths of the Soul and takes one away to a safe dark place, deep in the silence of the forests, where we can be at peace and just, "be"...…...ty🥀
I can't get enough of this sound! Thank you for your music und your playing. I hear that sound while im riding with my horse through the woods.
There are few songs that truly hit the soul lately , but thank you for making this one mean something
Such a treat to see the Dobro being played and held this way. Marvelous.
This is one of those songs that has a dystopian feel to it. A time from long ago brought back to life today. It connects with me in a unique way.
i love the sound of this dobro guitar... this song is immersive!
I've literally been obsessed with your music ever since you came up in my recommended list a few weeks ago, and I simply cannot get enough. You speak to my soul, and I fucking LOVE your style. It's dark, it's swampy, it's eerie, it's got that twang, but most of all: it's catchy as fuck. Perfect for a swamp witch like me lol. 🖤 Keep rocking on, dude! 🤘🏻😎
I started making my own slides , Justin, your my hero! Don't let up, crank it the hell UP!!!
“She's seen the horrors of hell; she's endured the darkest of times. It made her hard. She now walks with the fearlessness of the wolf. She lives with the bravery of The lion. And acts with the fierceness of the dragon.“ Not my quote
But my motto, this sound is a tune of memories
"This sound is a tune of memories". Yes! Well said.
💦💙💦
She takes shit from no one but is as soft as the pedals of a rose.... When she needs to be
@@carlrapp601 ~ Well said
That is beautiful
Masterpiece!!!! This song has the best dang title I ever did hear of, plus the sound fits perfectly, so relatable!
Exquisita obra maestra, no me canso de escucharla una y otra vez. Cómo me encantaría aprender a tocar el Dobro de esa manera. Gracias maestro.
This is amazing. It definitely reminds me of New Orleans, of how it's mysterious and eerie
Stormwatcher
New Orleans is beautiful before and after Katrina
He should be writing ALL the theme songs for every Netflix show.
I heard lots of music in my day, you are unique and one of a kind.
Beautiful! Thank you Justin.
Has anyone noticed how perfect each background is to fit each song that he plays? Loving that crystal ball in the background of this one...and those classic Louisiana windows!! Such sweet perfection in the details of his music and each thing we see on the screen - all weave into this master work!
Absolutely FLAWLESS. What an amazing feel.
Hell He could do the soundtrack to my life. What a full, spiritual experience his playing is!
Llevo 8 veces escuchandolo seguido. Guau. Una obra maestra
Such a beautifully rich sound...I can listen to it all day, every day, this is my new favorite song!
I am captivated by the resonator, the song, and the player! This is on my play list for relaxation!
thank you for this, Justin Johnson. What an exquisite experience.
Пусть будут благославены твои пальцы! Хочу верить что этот дух блюза живёт только в твоём сердце. Иначе даже не могу представить как можно переживать такие вибрации. Ты бесподобен и гениален..❤
"May your fingers be blessed! I want to believe that this spirit of the blues lives only in your heart. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine how one can experience such vibrations. You are incomparable and brilliant" - zverstvo
This popped up, started playing, and I simply said "Yessir."
Ok folks. This is what a real musician sounds like.
This is dat Uber Awesomeee
indeed it is.
How to play the cigar box guitar
I m not sure I agree. I think that this is like how a phenomenon sounds like
Yes buuut how can u play theperson behind it enough, I'm notdumbjust stupid
Every time I hear you you get better and better! There's no stopping you! Keep going!
