In 40 years people are gonna be talkin about Christone the way we talk about SRV and B.B. King right now
I hope he is still performing in 40 years
What a deep breath of fresh air. Thanks for this.
So true.
He's the three kings reborn, Albert, Freddy, and BB.
You damn right they will be ❤️😎
I have listened to and played blues for 40 years. This guy is a blues icon in the making. He's got the soul, the chops, the voice, the humility and the back story. No doubt.
Absolutely.
I totally agree with everything you said Steve . He could be the next BB King. 🤙🏿🤟
I just watched his show at Horseshoe Tavern Toronto. my brain is still under siege. I am completely blown away, the last time anyone blew my mind this much the first time seeing someone was in 1983 at the El Mocambo watching SRV + DT. hours later and I am still saying What did I see What was I witnessing. Kingfish is incredible.
True!
I think it is nice to see a black man with a guitar again, since it looks like every black musical talent goes to rap or R n' B.
The solo brings tears to my eyes. I've never heard such emotion coming out of a guitar before.
Too soulful! Check out his other live performances of this same song...They are all different yet still full of emotion. He composes on the spot
A blues player with the build up and emotion of Gilmour
Never listened to Jimi Hendrix?
Or SRV?
If you love an amazing solo I'd suggest watching The Main Squeeze cover Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd. The solo is out of this world.
The sick part about his talent is that his voice and guitar playing will get better.
Yes its Great!!!!!! m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3275471515830355&id=100001026151518
Yeah because He's still 21 goddamnnnn
I just hope he loses a bit of weight because it would be an absolute shame to lose this guy early.
@@trendkill3333 Me too man, me too
@@trendkill3333 he has lost a lot of weight in the past 2 years check older videos, here looks fantastic actually
My brain can't process he's only 21 years old !
He sounds and has the feeling of a 70 years old bluesman ...
He’s been through some tough times. He expresses those feeling through sounds.
I'm older than this guy and yet plays like a veteran.
He’s been playing since he’s a little kid. Prodigy.
His mother recently passed away earlier this year. Poor kid
How has he explore blues like this...fantastic.
You know how you know our musical world is a mess in 2024? Because this man isn't a household name......this is what you should be listening too......
F*ck yeah. Staggering talent.
One comment said this artist is only 21 years old? Absolutely Amazing! I think we are watching a legend being born!❤
You can practice skill, but soul is the thing you cant practice. Its a gift.
Absolutely Gringgo!
There you said it brother.
Speak...
I got it
You got to have lived it!!!!
Seen this young man in Kansas City a year ago , he was just 19 , he played 3 1/2 hours straight with zero breaks ! If you get a chance to see Kingfish live , jump on it !!
Saw him in Tulsa a year ago. He crushed it. Amazing. Was supposed to see him in chicago with buddy guy but bad weather on the train made me miss it.
I envy you brother
Wow! He played 3 hours straight with no breaks. That is tough for the best of them! He is absolutely fantastic! This set is my favorite at this point.
@Fake as fuck you wouldn't say that about bb king. Bb king was a big man to, but you wouldn't say it about bb king because he's a fucking legend. In 20 years. Kingfish will be the king of the blues. And your gonna remember that all you said about him wad the fact that he likes to eat. He's already lost 100 pounds in one year. So keep your mouth shut
@@carsonlinkmusic2794 yeah that's fr
This man is a living legend. We're watching and listening to him play his music, and in my opinion the GOAT of current modern blues
And that solo OHHHHHH
Unbelievable
Get out more. Dont know where you are from. But where there are no cameras i know alot of good players
the only one who can stand up to Derek ... john is ashamed of himself ^^
Yes the goat why he smacks his guitar 🎸 blues The feel he hits his notes 🎶 and makes me feel the blues 👍 Joe Jimi. Stevie Gary Eric G. 👍🙏
CONGRATULATIONS KINGFISH!!! Just won a blues award for 2022. Epic!!!
BB, Muddy Waters and SRV looking and saying to each other, "we're in good hands, Kingfish got this". 🎸
And don't forget about Jimi Hendrix
@@williampscott3539 i didn't, was just naming other Blues guitar players, but yes.
@@UKBornin1971 Jimi played the blues before SRV
@@williampscott3539 i realize that, thanks though 🙄
@@UKBornin1971 And Buddy Guy
Discovering Kingfish has just made my night! Can’t believe how good he is!
He is amazing! Check out Jackie Venson as well.
I'm with you wow this song was all of that for sure he played that guitar effortlessly his singing will get better which is nuts!
Same here, this young gentleman has been one of my fav blue players, He just entertains me a lot and stay hooked in the feeling of being live.
@@exploretheworld9111 agreed, he is amazing at singing as well as the guitar! Not fair really but I’m here for it.
@@rymezpayy Check out Samantha Fish as well
This guy is a future legend, an incredible modern Blues icon, to be forever remembered.
He bends a note that hits you right in the feels then gives you another that makes you involuntarily do a scrunched up guitar face and just when you think he can't squeeze any more pleasure out of you he gives you something that brings tears to your eyes. Damn this guy is good!
Yeah you ain't lying finally just was able to see him in concert with buddy guy and Kenny Wayne shepherd and wow had me in awww his whole set
Not to mention he is a cool guy got to shake his hand after the show he was talking with his fans and everything really awesome kid
Amen brother
Exquisite work!
I totally agree. This young man is already on the same level as Jimi and SRV. In time I believe he will surpass all guitarist and be the G.O.A.T.
I'm actually a die-hard heavy metal guy, but thanks to this fine gentleman, there's now a blues playlist in my Spotify account. That guitar tone...my goodness... What an outstanding artist! 🤘
@user-my3yp1wb2zBro I’m more of a Rap guy but as the years go on I listen to such a diverse pallet of music and I can’t go back to just one genre
check out Michael Burks. He wrote this song. there a lot of him to find of him on YT. especially the life performances are great. Exceptional blues guitar player. (unfortunately died way too early)
Interestingly he has a metal background
Metal is a warm up for the blues like playing fast chromatics and bending strings
Same here!! He's performing in my city Friday night. Got to see him!
Blues coming back
They never went away!
Where it been?
Hopefully and hopefully Rock 'n roll does too!
Yeah, and I for one welcome the change!!
Yes, let it come back
This is talent that comes from another place. This man brings tears out of me that have been trapped for a long time. From a 55 year old white dude, thanks Kingfish, I love you brother!!!!
same here
35 year old white boy here. Sitting in the car before work, tears a rolling.
@@ian5395 yeah man listening to kingfish before work got you walking in with a different energy😂
@@ian5395 as if you were sat in your car crying. Why do people have to write such bullshit statements?
Why does the colour of your skin matter whatsoever? Genuinely what does it have to do with liking music?
The tone on his guitar is way too groovy, I’m loving it!
We're witnessing the birth of a legend.......
I'd choose to be in this bar that night than at the Grammys any day.
Facts
Id rather be on a gas station toilet than the grammys
@@prilljazzatlanta5070 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you made my day!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve seen him live and he really IS this good. At age 21.
I pray that he has a long and rewarding career and that God will protect him from the dangers of show business.
Especially, since his mom has passed sadly. Hopefully, he’s got some good people behind him. Not sure but heard his father was in the band but can’t find any band member’s names.
Mike Saucony Paul Rogers on bass (he’s really good) and its his cousin on drums I think
I love your comment, so many people want to trash him bcuz by if his weight...you are a good person, thank you for kind words and caring about people for who they are.
@@ricardomartinezxx I've never seen anyone trash him for his weight, but I know a lot of folks who found out about him (and loved his music instantly) have been very concerned about his health.
To his very great credit, he has made big strides with his weight. It is NOT EASY to deal with a weight problem. Yet he's lost a lot of his excess weight and I really wish him the very best. He's a wonderful, super nice, personable, respectful young man, and an even more wonderful artist. He's an absolute credit to his family and especially his mom. I wish him all the success in the world.
@@fenderstratguy You're so lucky to have seen him live and met him, it will be a story for the grand kids one day, like people talk about how they saw SRV or Hendrix. Lol. And yes, people on RUclips have trashed him bcuz of his weight, but it's fine, people are idiots mostly, and especially on RUclips LMAO. Cheers!
No way this is three years old already, i come back at least once a month to witness this gem of a performance.
If only the young generations prized this kind of music like It was back in the day. Real music, real blues, he should be up there with SRV, Jimmie Hendrix, Buddy Guy.
Why does that matter? Art and tradition depend on those who love it. Momentary passages of generational popularity are simply incidental.
This guy brings tears to my eyes for how genuine he is.
this guy is the real deal
So do i
Tremendous talent! He finds his voice through the guitar and his voice is powerful. He conveys so much depth, it's palpable.
You are so right Bruh.
Christone has incredible vibrato much like Freddie King. Simply amazing.
He makes it look so easy... like he's playing with a child's toy, while he's churning out amazing riffs. Just incredible!
He sounds like Prince and B.B. King had a child. Incredibly good. 🙌
All are amazing, the drummer has that in the pocket like gold bar walking on a bad neighborhood
You know you're Badass when all Generations of People come to your show and feel the Vibe
I sincerely hope the youth of america can get behind an artist like him and allow the rebirth of good music to rise from the ashes of todays "popular" music like a phoenix! Let us celebrate talent, skill and soul. Instead of ass shaking, face tats and autotune.
Damn straight man
Amen my brother!
Amen
Thank you! Music today makes me sad! The lack of musicians especially.
Hey is truly an amazing artist
This man sold his soul. He is too good. He's the total package. Saw him at the Jazz festival in Montreal 2023. By far the best act this year
Hallelujah. Praise be to the Lord for granting this boy this much musical talent.
Boy?
@@mikespencer7749 yes. He is a young man isn't he?
@@janpiet4740 Yes he's a young man. I never disputed that. So what's the reason for your question? Are you drunk?
@@mikespencer7749 not yet
This young man is an eclectic combination of the best that rock and the blues have to offer. His voice is timeless. His playing is tasteful and impeccable. I am truly humbled to be alive to witness his unique talent.
As a middle aged grandma from the Midwest, I concur! ✌️
@@jaymeanderson5121 But are you a middle aged grandma who can shred like Kingfish? lol
@@rommelrivera1186 no ...but I can bang it out like Bonham! 🤟🥁
Wow 143 haters? This guy can play and his band mates are top shelf as well.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I tend to prefer believing these are just Aussie fans, thumbing up upsidedown.
Probably trumpers lol
The haters thought they had selected cake in the rain. This young man is way beyond his years. I wish him a long happy life. You go brother .....
@@robertsugawara6273 definitely
@@robertsugawara6273 How can you bring politics into the blues? Sick.
My son introduced me to Kingfish! OMG, I love his music. I have a two month old grandson that is sometimes colicky. I put on Empty Promises and he drifts off to sleep. My son has bought us tickets and we will see him in Birmingham!! I’m so excited!!!!
I'm jealous, lol Enjoy
@@missy652 You have a good son. I just bought tickets to see Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Christine Kingfish Ingram at Springfield, Ma. In August.
THE BLUES LIVES!!!!! this feller is amazing!!! Be Blessed
I have listened this more than 200 times. His solo and vibrato one of the best
I'm right behind you with the repeat!!!
Lockdown has made me listen to this over 200 also
This kid is unreal. And comes outta the real delta tradition-I can’t think of what blues needed today more than Chris. He’s the real article of authenticity and blazing talent. The kind of phenom who’ll end up inspiring a whole new generation to want to play and keep alive real blues. What a gift
Amen!
Don’t kid yourself. To inspire the masses of young folks these days you need to sing mumble rap and get tattoos on your face. Let’s hope he inspires something underground that can flourish overseas where people still like real instruments not just synths. American music is dead as long as the youth are social networking instead of starting bands and performing like in generations past before the great sleep and media induced psychosis.
@@bojangles6444 Wow. You must be the hippest scenester around, being soooo jaded like like. How dark and original. You're awesome
@@justinmix143Lol I am too old for that. I wrote that after I heard Robin Ford moved to Europe bc better gig opportunities for blues guitarists. Really though do you hear what passes for music these days? Scary, like I said I am too old. I am only 40 but what I remember being music isn’t even around anymore. I don’t even thinks it’s made by people probably a damn algorithm based on psychological data.
FYI- I said the opposite thing in another thread. Don’t ever assume people believe what they say online. Everybody has a role to play. Gotta balance the troll.
He has his guitar plugged right into his heart. BB would be proud brother, keep the blues alive Legend 💙
Deadlift workout music right here 💖 *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s *💖 dun took Christone oFf 2 da big leagues and for dat I will always be super grate
Credit to the rest of the band aswell, the drummer is very talented also
Yeah, I noted that during his performance. His percussion section is perfect! That bass player...wow...his fills are perfectly timed as is the drummer (who I heard is his brother). What a treasure. I was so impressed I bought the song. WOW!
Yes, this rhythm section is incredible
Facts!
From 3:24-5:54 is some of the best guitar phrasing I’ve heard in quite sometime regardless of any genre of music that I’ve been playing or listening to for the last 20 years..
Absolutely.
Love him. He stands in the shadow of noone. He owns and stands on his own plateau in the genre. He's even got the name. The man, the myth, the legend; Kingfish.
That solo is beyond words. So beautiful, what a gift this guy is to us all. 😊
this kid is so special. John Mayer is closest to my age, with Joe Bonomassa, so their songs and lyrics really speak to me...but Kingfish is hte man! He is the NEXT icon for the blues and I couldn't be happier for him.
I’ve never seen any one play guitar like that what a gifted human being, wow
This is what the guitarist of the world needed right about this decade. I hope he stays healthy. He’s a legend waiting to happen . I’ve seen to many sad story’s and we need him around.
Liars
The blues is safe with this guy 🔥 incredible
This guy has the blues in his DNA!
If blues and rock had a love child, this would be it!
I’m also a player of 40 plus years, this guy is truly a future legend with out doubt! He has the same free sprit that Prince had when he went into solos!! MAGICAL!!
Way underrated, this should be on every radio station
Just a comment a little comment to support this universe. God is here
This dude popped up on my youtube algorithm today @ 10:30pm... @ 10:40PM I found out he won 5 blues awards @ 11pm I purchased his CD on amazon. @ 11:05 pm i posted this comment. Amazing talent. just amazing.
That solo popped up my hairs. Long life, success and inner happiness for him
With his guitar you can feel the pain be in his voice touching your soul.
Rip Michael Burks ! Kingfish did such an amazing rendition here . This young man gives me hope for the next generation of blues players !
Anyone listening to this, you owe it to yourself to check out Michael Burks' Empty Promises. That will lead you to other MB tunes and it will be evident, he is the MAN. RIP Big Mike.
That is one the most vocal Les Paul neck pickup tones I’ve ever heard. All the frequencies in the right place. And, of course, absolutely killer playing from this young blues prodigy!
Jalen pickups “MC Special”
RBD ...not a les Paul....custom guitar by some guy in Mississippi...or was it Louisiana?
@@burtonwilliams2537 Yeah, I know it’s not a Gibby, but likely similar construction. And it was specifically the resonant peak of the pickup I was highlighting
Yeah man that pickup is ...uh huh ... killer tone monster for sure
I have a Hamer Archtop with similar pickups . (Jalen Super Classic set ) They really sing with some volume behind them but still hold grit and sustain at lower volume ..
If angels could sing it would sound like this man's voice
Not all legends are dead and gone!! This man is on a whole other level of just any musician!!! The whole band itself is absolutely phenomenal.!! 💯
He reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughan in the way that the blues, guitar licks just flows out of him effortlessly. A very good guitarist. One of the best of most recent times.
I get the chills and feel my ancestors when I hear him play!! Yeasssssss!!!!!❤️🙏🏾 KINGFISH!!! 👑
FACTS!!!!!
Epa!!!!! Y esto? De dónde salió este monstruo?
Salute Queen !!!
I was there that night, and this was a definite highlight of the show.
Lucky you!
Prove it jk
Awesome man 🤙🏻
Dud you see the strat
Nice
It’s 2024 and kingfish is strapping blues to his back and starting to walk.
Kingfish and Marcus King youngins tearing up the blues scene.
5:57 he's so fast he switched to a strat and back to the lp in a couple of second
yea what the hell that looks weird
😂 I thought the same thing, probably from another song in the set
Very very sharp!! Funny ...
Good catch! Guy in charge on continuity is fired lol
I think someone built that LP style for him, its a custom. I've seen someone make a comment on the Jam in the Van music series, that he was glad to see Kingfish playing his guitar..lol
Look at the looks of pure joy and discovery on each member of the audience's face! I haven't seen that since the greats performed. This kid is going to be a household name one day 👐🏻
Mercy!!! Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, B.B., Stevie, Muddy, Microwave Dave, Albert Collins, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE and channeled by this young Blues Man!!! Mercy!!!! WHEW!! YES SIR!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Did you ever see Microwave Dave play Sleepwalk?
He Used to play the club in Chattanooga in the 90s...really awesome
@@trowerhead56 I don't believe I have. I'll have to request that when I see him!!
Best performance in history in my opinion!!!! Keep on rockin with soul Mr kingfish!!!!!! Thank you for lifting everyone's spirit with your amazing talent skill and soul!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm a big fan of the late Michael Burks, who wrote this song, and I always thought somebody should cover it. Looks like Kingfish was the perfect artist to do so.
Greatest guitarist I've heard in my 32 of living. I'm not talking about blues,metal or any other genre I'm talking about pure guitarist. This guy can play whatever he chooses to play and he'll be miles ahead of the competition. I've never gotten goosebumps the way I do when I hear this man play. I've listened to all the great guitarists of the last 60 years and this guy surpasses them all by a long shot.
Nothing but facts
ruclips.net/video/awAZSGGxRJw/видео.html
you need to listen to michael burks who wrote this song.
this man is probily next to Jimi Hendrics
That man been on the cuttin floor down at the crossroads and he came back with an empty promise. He's on my 2024 bucket list.
This young man is about to enter the pantheon of the greats. Please keep it going sir.
We need more parents popping out babies like him and show them the ways of the blues
Underrated comment
Puts me in the mind of Ernie Isley and Eddie Hazel too. When you share this video, there’s no need to say “listen to the whole song or watch the whole thing”. Once you start listening, you won’t be able to stop. 🔥🔥🔥
It is so great to see a young black man get into this music. Clearly he has great taste in music. I can't wait to go see him live along with Blackberry Smoke
Jontavious Willis. Keeping the Blues alive too. Outrageous.
I genuinely can’t fathom how someone so young can be so damn good at something. My brain doesn’t process that.
I like how there are very few people with their phones in the audience. Most of them are really in the feels and enjoying unlike the gen z with their phones always sticked to their hand
Kingfish is in such a small category of guitarists who can transcend beyond theory into feel. Guy is beyond having chops,. He’s up in the Jimi, SRV, BB, Frusciante kind of category for me. All legendary, all emotional players who tapped into that unknown most guitarists dont find.
Amen
His music is a space & he invited us in...
When I see him play all I can think is A Mothers Love is the most important aspect to his career and skill set. She made sure he had this path and sacrificed every aspect of her life to ensure he would be who he is right now. Know his life and know his story so that you can use it as an example for all you do going foreward.
Caught Kingfish in Phoenix, Az. on 05/17/22, at the Orpheum Theater.
What a smokin' hot show! I've seen many guitarists in the last 50+ years
but at 23 years old, Christone Ingram
has already put his stamp as a truly fine player. His touch and feel are incredible. The future of the blues is in good hands!
The guitar gods weep. Anyone else get prince vibes?
for sure! kingfish is an absolute beast
100%!
I don't know bro...Prince was definitely a beast but Kingfish seems to have a little more in his arsenal.
manb4war Prince was a great composer, and instrumentalist, but as a guitarist, i agree Kingfish has more to offer.
Not Prince but KINGFISH!
As a white Australian that has grown up with my stepdad (blues musician) with muddy waters, bb King, Nat King Cole, Robert Johnson stevie Ray vahn Eric Clapton etc always playing in the background of my family home, this guy Kingfish has blown my brain sideways and upside down with his young talent!
Can't wait to see what comes from him next. Sooooo much love and I can't keep the tears from flowing from happiness for the amazing music he is making 🙏🎶😍❤️👌♥️
He's amazing! These guys are too Christone Kingfish

You rock my man god bless you and your family keep blues coming man love ya
can we just acknowledge not only his blistering guitar but his angelic voice. its almost like a beautiful argument
god bless we are witnessing an icon in the making thank the algorithm for bringing me to this great joy
Jeff Beck passed away yesterday. Today.. I'm listening to this crying tears of joy because the blues, and guitar is so alive and strong.
So glad this young man is carrying this torch. Very grateful for him.
This man destroyed every single part of me with his solo .......... AMAZING 🤘
The Gift is internal, he just blesses us with his hands!!
How could any blues fan not be blown away but this phenomenal young artist, such a bright future.
This guy is great. Just found out about him today. I wish he would play with his vocals just as much as he do the guitar. You can tell he has mastered them both
I just found out he wanted this year’s Blues Grammy and he is 23. He has to be one of the youngest to accomplish a feat like that
I play lead guitar and this made me cry. My goodness.
RUclips should add a SUPER LIKE button, this is amazing, way up there with Stevie Ray (RIP).
Damn that shit made me cry for the blues ..the man is awesome
This is a Fantastic performance!!!!! I lovin it
After 2 years of long wait (#thankyoucovid19), I finally saw him last night in Paris. What can I say... what a blast and a pleasure to see that the blues legacy is in the RIGHT HANDS. Do not misunderstand me, I like all the "new" bluesmen generation, such as Gary Clark, Joe Bonamassa, and so many more to mention here... but Kingfish PLAYS THE RIGHT STUFF AS IT SHOULD BE. I was delighted to see him playing offstage and in the crowd, it reminds me of Buddy Guy ! It's my favorite blues concert of this year so far (Eric Gales did cancel his Paris concert, but THANK YOU KINGFISH to be here !!!!!)
Micheal Burks would be proud.... RIP Mr. Burks.
Amen to that. I saw Michael in Fayetteville Arkansas and he was the truth.
He was the real unsung hero !! I am pleased to see Christone following in his steps !!
Only one thing to say... Thank God for Christone "Kingfish" Ingram!! He can play!
He can easily pass for the son of the late blues guitarist Freddie King, R.I. P.
'excelsior, singular vocal blue notes & concomitant instrumentals'! M.Slotin 2023 Montréal
He is young but plays fantastic old school. Rare prodigy, he is.
Lots of good talent too much very appreciative hearing ham thumbs up 100%
