Tab I grew up together in the local Louisiana music scene and still remain close friends. He’s an amazing artist, true legend! Cory D. aka Big Dog on Bass.....love those cats!
Tab is awesome! Listen to his song, "Darkness". I'd love to go on that Blues Cruise. He performs there along with many fantastic musicians. I appreciate you're analysis. Im learning a lot, ty!
Tab & his band are superb, very easy to listen & fallow along with. Fil, you gave another top video & analysis. Your always so clear, clean, upbeat and positive. Keep up the good vibes!❤😎✌Rock On!
One of my favorites. Tab doesn’t use pedals, just his Thinline and his clone amp. Awesome tone and improvs his solos, every show is different. Great guitarist with awesome dynamics.
A pair of Category 5 amplifiers, actually; and no pedals. If he wants a tremolo effect, he rotates the guitars volume control really fast! I've seen him live several times, and he's the real deal; and extremely funny as well. Of the last half-dozen concerts we've seen (including Ry Cooder, Los Lobos, Albert Lee, and Sonny Landreth), Tab was hands-down my wife's favorite. He is not to be missed when he comes to your town!
good 'un yeah those cat 5’s are custom clone amps. Based off of two amps, one was a Twin Tweed, and I forget the other. Badass tone. He is funny. Great story teller.
@@hockeytown9647 65 Super Reverb. The Cat 5 he uses are signature Tab Benoit models cloned from his originals. Check out the Premier Guitar rig rundown video on Tab's gear.
We've seen Tab live a number of times over the years both here in Florida and around New Orleans. Puts on a great show! The last time we saw him play the old Rock'n'Bowl venue on the downstairs stage he swapped places and did a long drum solo which was very cool. And this was after playing Jazzfest earlier in the day. Sonny Landreth played that same stage that night. The Iguanas and Anders Osborne were upstairs but we never got there.......... Thanks for this one Fil!
Yep, Tab is one of of many great musician from down home. His Zydexo is as good as his blues . Check out his ' one Foot In the Bayou. He's from le Gran Mamou.
Great modern blend of blues going on here by all three. Thanks for turning us on to music by artist and bands that we might not of herd otherwise through your informative analysis Fil.
Thanks for the breakdown of Tab's playing. I get goosebumps listening to his music. I think he has as much soul as any player ever. Truly love his music. Just the right combo of funky rhythm, soulful blues. That southern thang makes some of the best voices ever as well.
Oooooooohhhhh,.... Totally adding this to my playlist! First time I've heard it and it's one of those you only need a TINY taste of to KNOW YOU WANT IT!! This is Devilishly Good!! Thank you for this one Fil (and whoever requested it!). I love it! Such a cool groove...Mmmm-Mmmm!
What a fabulous listen and all three of them have the blue's down pat, all of them are so clean and wonderful! Thanks for sharing and doing a nice analysis!
Haaaaaa! I recently requested you do a video on Tab ..I thought I was bringing something new to you and you’ve already done one ..Three years ago 😂 ! Loved it ,Thanks Fil !
Thanks Fil for this! I saw Tab live around that time in a west Michigan small tavern venue. It was the first venue like that I'd experienced where fans could stand close and observe. They stood in awe, like at the feet of a God! And he is, in his own right. He and his guitar are one! I especially appreciate that he is very relaxed and personable with his audience. An amazing musicians.
Sure he knows the standard licks, and has great technique, but I find he puts them all together in his own unique and original way. And thanks. It's good to hear my excuse .... um , reason .... for never being able to remember a solo from night to night, is because I am "playing so consciously" :-)
Nice work again, Fil!! Tab's a good player with a unique style. I had Best Of The Bayou Blues from him but got damaged in a move. First heard of Tab thru SF's KFOG in '94 for A Warmer Place To Sleep. He was apparently homeless for a time and people rallied around him to get some work down to tape . This worked, which was awesome.
@@katherinea.rodgers8366 Thanks for the reply katherine! Hope all is well outside of the Bay Area. May have been a coincidence but the station for me was never the same once Dave Morey retired. Could have big ownership change (ClearChannel). Not sure but there for a time, it was like early/mid '70s KSAN where the DJ would play whatever. I miss those days.
Tab was never homeless, and never had to worry about where the next dollar would come from. His family owns Benoit machine inc. in Houma, La., a big company that caters to the Gulf oil field. His family is multi...MULTI millionaires, and financed everything he needed to further his career. He was able to get through the lean times because there were none !
Love Tab! We are lucky to be in his touring territory, so we get to see him from time to time. I recorded a live performance of his song "Darkness", which is one my most viewed videos. Thanks for sharing this.
I've seen Tab 4 times live....Just awesome....one of my favs. Check out his cut Nice & Warm....title track of a 1994 cd. He has a keyboard player on that one. Thanks for the vid.
I've sen Tab several times at the old Callahan's in Auburn Hills (Detroit) Mi. Jim McCarty is pretty infamous for appearing there and sitting in. Great to hear them together.
Love his vocals first reminding me of Bill Withers or Aaron Neville (like i "Angola Bound"! The Louisiana connection). Very driving and soulful. Thanks for the big picture, Fil, such as tempo changes.
I met Tab. I'm not sure if he still does it, but he would show up early to talk to fans. I got him to sign my Gretsch. Still kicking myself for not taking the thin line instead. By the way, as humble as he is, he told me "I wouldn't do this if it was my axe". Ever get a chance to talk to him, he's a great guy.
You are The MAN Brother Fil!!! Ha Ha. Wow! Does Tab have that "Cotton Pickin" sound or What?!! HA! He's done his homework! I got to meet & talk with him many years ago & he DEFINITELY understands the blues! He's from Houma, Louisiana & Certainly is a Cajun man with the blues! During his final tune in this tiny club he broke the #1 string & kept on like nothing happened. Unlike "Jackass Pat Travers I told you about Fil! HA . THANKS For the great review again & I'm thrilled to see Tab on your show! GOD Bless You Brother Fil!!!
Great story. Reminds of the time I saw Bo Diddley at a club called the Living Room in Providence. I was standing at the bar waiting for the set to start and a man walked up behind me. I heard "Excuse me." I stepped aside and turned to see Bo walk past me with his guitar to the stage. During his set he broke a string. Changed it himself between songs while making small talk with the audience.
So. Did some RUclips recommendations. Wow. Got deeper and deeper. This guy grooves and boogies and brings the house down wherever he plays. Wow. Check some of his cover versions out. Night train. Wow. Otis Redding. Wow He is GOOD!
Never heard of this guy but I like the sound am I hearing things but it sounds like a mix of Blues with a little country thrown in going to check this guy out thanks a lot. Phil
Not sure if you've seen Laura Chavez yet, but she's great. Saw her at the Las Vegas Big Blues Bender with the late great Candye Kane a few years ago. Phenomenal.
Thanks Fil!...I love Tab Benoit!! A co-worker of mine years ago gave me a CD of his I have loved him ever since....❤...by the way I can tell we have our ole (relatively speaking of course) Fil back!!!...✌💗🤘
I would like to hear you critique Wayne Perkins. He and I grew up together and he has played with countless musicians. Most importantly The Rolling Stones. He played lead on three tracks on the Black and Blue album. I believe his personal best was on the Hand of Fate track.
Nice one, never noticed him before! Hope you gonna do two rockers who are dead now but deserve attention; Ronnie montrose and Randy California. Another one who I would like to hear some comments on; Wishbone Ash, the first rock band with double lead guitar with their album Argus, It was named "Album of the Year" in the 1972 year-end issue of Sounds magazine.
Tab is a great guy and puts on a great show!! Cory, the bass player has more fun playing bass than anybody I have ever seen! You need to see him live! NO EFFECTS!
Cory, the bass player is fun to watch. He reminds me of a Muppet character. It is amazing how a 3 piece can jam. It certainly puts the pressure on to fill the space, but they do it!
I was referring to the music composition and the singing a little more tempo will be like Ten Years After music and his singing ability if it were a little smoother Robin Trower this guy's okay above and beyond any music genius
Alright, so, my ex went to high school with Tab, so when we were in Louisiana for the Voice of the Wetlands Festival we got to hang out a bit. Every year for 15 years or better, Benoit has staged a free weekend festival in his home town for the sole purpose of allowing himself the chance to preach about water politics in the Mississippi delta. Great stuff, and lots of fun; we got to meet lots of top-flight players, and even to watch Tab sit in on drums, (!), with some other high school buddies. Anyhow, Tab's been a favorite since the early '90s; here's another guy that came to my attention around the same time, at the same crusty bar in Colorado: ruclips.net/video/gEy6Kbjjv6E/видео.html
My wife and i were at all 3 days of the VOW Fest this past October ("remember, cow's lives matter!). We had a great time, the music was fantastic, and although we didnt get to hang with Tab we did meet and talk with bassist Doug Wimbish on the plane ride home and in the airport, he was playing with Erik McFarland at the Fest (Doug is a very nice and generous man, volunteers to work with school kids to further their music education and appreciation). Hey, Fil, do a piece on Erik McFarland!
Originality in style was my comment he is quite unique in his own way not to take anything away from the man where is group but thank you for your comment whoever you were whoever you are I appreciate it
Another great Analysis . Hey , I thought you were taking a break on so much work! You are one dedicated slave to the music, my friend! But take care of the music lover inside of yourself too there!!! ; )
@@wingsofpegasus you just work way too hard , Fil !!!. You might just be a tad hyperactive or hypomaniac, I deal with that, it's hard to actually ever just sit and do Nothing at all! Hope to catch the Live Stream this time and pray those Gremlins don't go mental on ya again like last week,that was so weird (cuz I did go back and watch it thereafter ).
@@drewpall2598 I certainly understand,but I also understand when you get older,like my age. ( I worked for many years in ER's and psych Facilities, working night shift, 12-14 hr shifts, tryng to sleep in day, when feel like rest of the world is awake! Burning that cande at both ends too much, WILL catchup with you eventually! But it's still a young man's/womans game, so I guess carry on as fast and long as u can there, Fil ! Your cd says it best "Persistence"!
Very good playing from the entire band . He is a really good vocalist as well as a guitarist .Thanks for the analysis , agree with everything you said.
@@gwendolyncarter5668 i like the fact he sung it well. One of my favourite Black Sabbath songs when he could have just played it for laughs. unexpected joy .
Bb king live at sing sing , magic sam feelin alright , check out kid andersen , kid ramos , tommy harkenrider , chris corcoran , kirk fletcher , alex schultz , mike welsh , jimmie vaughan , jon atkinson , anson funderbourgh , ronnie earl , ry cooder , propper blues
Thank God for the internet. Without it I would never have heard of performers like Tab Benoit or Ruthie Foster or Eric Bibb or Joanne Shaw Taylor or Samantha Fish and many more. I guess, to a certain extent, in the artificial hierarchy of modern music, people like the one's I mentioned might be thought of as the second tier, but only if your shallow enough to think that way. The fact that I bought a brand new vehicle several years ago and still haven't turned the radio on, should tell you a lot about who I prefer listening to!
He bought it in the early-mid 90s. At the time it was a mint vintage 72 sunburst. He literally plays it every night. It's worn from real usage on the road. 😊😉
I kinda just found out about Tab he's an amazing player and song writer, check out his song "too many dirty dishes" it's hilarious you will chack up laughing.
@@davidmartin3971 , i found out recently to my surprise that Albert didnt write Too Many Dirty Fishes. Regardless, a great tune, i do have Alberts' record with that one on it. I got to see him less than a year before he died, he was obviously ill but he played great .
I thought that was a good comment I gave the man considering back in the day Ten Years After and Robin Trower we're leaders in the music industry what sets this guy Above the Rest
Fil, if you haven't already, you really need to look at Isle of Man native, Davy Knowles. Here's a smokin' set with Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna on the Band Of Friends (Rory Gallagher tribute) tour. He really does Rory proud. Davy Knowles w/Band of Friends - A Celebration of Rory Gallagher - 4/12/18 ruclips.net/video/7jaPNycMhBU/видео.html
Not really the same but Im still reminded of John Lee Hooker at certain times. Decent artist to look into if you haven't. And how about Little Feet? I really liked Lowell George
Finally! Great guitarist. No effects. Pure talent.
heart>hands>guitar>cord>amp>ears = dancin feet
And nothing but fun at Tabs shows.
Thanks, Fil!
👍☺
I’ve seen Tab several times. Dude is the very definition of the Blues.
Tab I grew up together in the local Louisiana music scene and still remain close friends. He’s an amazing artist, true legend! Cory D. aka Big Dog on Bass.....love those cats!
I love his stories between tunes..
Tab is awesome! Listen to his song, "Darkness". I'd love to go on that Blues Cruise. He performs there along with many fantastic musicians. I appreciate you're analysis. Im learning a lot, ty!
Tab said the condition of his guitar is from sweat and cognac in the 70's! Lol He's awesome!!
Tab & his band are superb, very easy to listen & fallow along with. Fil, you gave another top video & analysis. Your always so clear, clean, upbeat and positive. Keep up the good vibes!❤😎✌Rock On!
Thanks Kathy!
Agreed!
Agree Miss Kathy, very nice sentiment.
Tab is my go to for when I just want music playing all day and I won't ever feel like skipping a song. I haven't heard a song from him I don't love.
Cat has a great blues voice as well. Great song, great video 👍 😎
👍☺
One of my favorites. Tab doesn’t use pedals, just his Thinline and his clone amp. Awesome tone and improvs his solos, every show is different. Great guitarist with awesome dynamics.
When I talked with Tab , he's a Huge fan of Albert King also, which Albert was a master at using dynamics. ROCK!

Great blues and great seeing you enjoy it!
I saw him years ago at a blues fest in central Wisconsin and he is worth seeing live
What a great, clean, unaltered sound. Based on Fils previous analysis, gotta love the sound of a rock solid trio. Fil🤘ROCK

Well done. Great analysis. Spot on about Tabs playing. Seen him several times and he never disappoints
My ear hears such togetherness. They are all in tune with each other! BLUES are the BEST! Thanks so much, Fil!

Thank God for the internet. Without it I would never have heard of performers like Tab Benoit or Ruthie Foster or Eric Bibb or Joanne Shaw Taylor or Samantha Fish and many more. I guess, to a certain extent, in the artificial hierarchy of modern music, people like the one's I mentioned might be thought of as the second tier, but only if your shallow enough to think that way. The fact that I bought a brand new vehicle several years ago and still haven't turned the radio on, should tell you a lot about who I prefer listening to!
I like that the guitar is scuffed and semi hollow body.
👍😁
He bought it in the early-mid 90s. At the time it was a mint vintage 72 sunburst. He literally plays it every night. It's worn from real usage on the road. 😊😉
Robin Trower not bad
👍
Not at all! I asked for a review for my bday. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
More great music, I love it! If you get the chance check out Jimmy Thackery (or add him to your phone book sized list of people to check out).
Thanks!
I kinda just found out about Tab he's an amazing player and song writer, check out his song "too many dirty dishes" it's hilarious you will chack up laughing.
That tune was a huge favorite of mine by the ICEMAN himself. Albert Collins, who Tab got to meet & talk with & hold in the Highest Esteem! !!
👍
@@davidmartin3971 , i found out recently to my surprise that Albert didnt write Too Many Dirty Fishes. Regardless, a great tune, i do have Alberts' record with that one on it. I got to see him less than a year before he died, he was obviously ill but he played great .
yep great bluesman
👍
Please review João Fuss! Another artist worth the spotlight.
Thanks!
I thought that was a good comment I gave the man considering back in the day Ten Years After and Robin Trower we're leaders in the music industry what sets this guy Above the Rest
Fil, if you haven't already, you really need to look at Isle of Man native, Davy Knowles. Here's a smokin' set with Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna on the Band Of Friends (Rory Gallagher tribute) tour. He really does Rory proud.

Thanks!
Dats how we do it down da bayou baby!
Not really the same but Im still reminded of John Lee Hooker at certain times. Decent artist to look into if you haven't. And how about Little Feet? I really liked Lowell George
Thanks!
