Well, she just recently signed with Rounder Records. Beyond that level, musical talent won't help, might even be a barrier to superstardom, which isn't a good life anyway.
I would really like to either shake the hand of, or give a big hug to, the person that played the first blues album in the environment in which Samantha was raised. That action, innocent as it was, resulted in giving the world one of the greatest gifts it has received since the conception of four lads from Liverpool.
Just wanted to let you know that your post is among the best I've seen. I got hooked on Ms. Fish just over a year ago. The Beatles are my favorite musical force, however, in just over a year Sam has moved into my top tier of people in the World of Music. Take care & stay well. Peace!
WELL IF HER MOMA LOKED LIKE HER HER DADDY PLAYED HER THE BLUES RECORDS YOU THINK MY SON I PROMOTE LED EDDIE VANHALEN WRUPTION MADE HIM TAKE GUITAR LESSONS IT IMPROVED HIS SCHOOL MY ADVISE TO PARENTS IS THIS WE NEVER KNOW HOW THE NEXT EDDIEIS GONA BE OR ELTON IF YOUR KIDS DOIN BAD IN SCHOOL PUT THEM IN PIANO LESSONES THAT HOW EDIE STARTED GUITAR IS A PIANO IN ITS OWN WAY THINK ABOUT IT IT JUST HAS EFECTS THE PIANO DONT
I never get tired of watching Samantha perform, but it`s kind of a shame that Chris isn't still with her and Go-Go, if you check the show from March 30th 2013 at Callahan`s, they just seemed to have so much fun playing together.
This version is very good, but have a look at this version which is much better, imo: ruclips.net/video/eFoj4Pp_5bU/видео.html It is utterly mind boggling!!
Now wait a minute, she sings like that... she plays like that... and she looks like that??? Good God, and the rhythm section... top musicianship. I've always been a big fan of three piece bands, I find they work the hardest, e.g. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Creem, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. In fact, I haven't heard blues played like that since Stevie Ray left the planet. Let me just say that I am highly, that is, highly impressed. The photography is top-notch as well, I feel like I am at the show when watching your videos. Kudos for a job well done all! Sincerely, Tom Williams
This particular version enchants....'cos it's for all the world as if another track has been added to the Band of Gypsies album...my all time favourite. I guess some might choke on that but hey-ho...couldn't pay a greater compliment for my part.
Le Babs je l'ai vu à salon-de-provence en concert elle est vraiment très bonne excellente version en live j'espère pour vous que vous êtes allé la voir LA mérite d'être bien connu
I love this stuff. I just discovered Sam this year. I've seen her three times (saw her a few days ago), but I always feel a little cheated. Where did THIS Samantha go? If the best power trio performances rank at a 10, her best performances with the new band and the new guitar style are a 7 for me. The loss of Go Go Ray is definitely part of it. I got to the party too late :(
I agree--her current work with the many-piece band is too much unnecessary noise and dilutes her talent. I hope this is a short period of experimentation for her. Springsteen put the E Street band back together after his flirtation with relative mediocrity. Signing Go Go and Alexander should be much easier by comparison.
I've been thinking about making such a comment for a while now. All musicians must grow and evolve, so I can't blame her for that in the least. But what I see and hear appear to be an executed plan with marketing taking on too big a role. Hey, whatever pays the bills, but I think it gets in the way to the extent I find her newer persona and songs less appealing. As a general proposition, when I see a video in which she has the shorter hairstyle, I can be pretty confident I will like it less than past performances. There is a focus on songwriting that, to me, can cause some blues players to lose their way. As with a lot of great classic blues songs/artists, it only takes a relatively simple song structure to get the fire started. I happen to think she looks better with her more natural (earlier) look, but the real division is playing style. I hope we see a return to form at some point. I admit my interest is waning in the interim.
I feel the "blame" lies with her "new" production team (since 2019?) who is smoothing out and commercialising her sound to make it more radio and user friendly for a wider audience. One can't blame her, as an artist she want to be as successful as possible, but unfortunately this loses something for us hardcore fans of her older sound
This version is excellent, but the best version imo is at Don Odell's Legends, also in 2014. It is absolutely mind blowing!! Give yourself a treat and watch it here: ruclips.net/video/eFoj4Pp_5bU/видео.html
Since this was posted her 2017 version at the Bean Blossom Blues Fest in 2017 far surpasses this version ruclips.net/video/JX9tDz4rwmE/видео.html Sorry bluzdudemi
my pal John Richardson does great editing on his videos; however, i think mine have better audio. My video was posted in 2014, John's was from 2017. At the time, i felt mine was the best version. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@bluzdudemi Didn't mean it as criticism, I realise yours was an earlier version. I'm just glad we have you, John and BluesBroad covering Samantha for us and between the three (and a few other random posts) we can get the best of her music
Saffer POV The Bean Blossom Blues version is very good, especially where she does part of her solo after jumping on the wall! Have a look at this version filmed in April 201 at Don Odell's Legends, even before this Callahan's Music Hall version. It is by far the best imo: ruclips.net/video/eFoj4Pp_5bU/видео.html
@@bluzdudemi This Callahan's Music Hall version is good, thank you for the upload, but the Don Odell's Legend version in April 2014, a month before you filmed this is better, no doubt about it. ruclips.net/video/eFoj4Pp_5bU/видео.html
That band is so tight! Drummer having a ball ... and who wouldn't be! Fantastic performance!
Holy crap! Why is this woman not in the national spotlight? Samantha is the real deal.
Well, she just recently signed with Rounder Records. Beyond that level, musical talent won't help, might even be a barrier to superstardom, which isn't a good life anyway.
Sam's truly one of the most phenomenal talents I've heard in some time. She needs to make a live album like Seger's Live Bullet to break it big.
I would really like to either shake the hand of, or give a big hug to, the person that played the first blues album in the environment in which Samantha was raised. That action, innocent as it was, resulted in giving the world one of the greatest gifts it has received since the conception of four lads from Liverpool.

FYI, Sam’s tune is a rewrite of “Rollin’ and Tumblin’,” which in turn is a rewrite of “If I Had Possession over Judgement Day” by Robert Johnson.
Саманта-величайший музыкальный самородок планеты!

this is realy the best version yet

Amazing. Really, blues rock just doesn't get any better than this.

Sam dubist ein wahrer Rocker, würdig mit Jonny und Edgar Winter über den BluesRockGroove Ozean zu surfen 💋 Samtkatze Samantha❤

... hopefully she'll go back to a 3 piece.
Agree completely!!! - I miss the REAL Samantha Fish trio so much!

she's make it, deep
Wow!!!
IMHO Her take on this song recorded at Don Odells is better...but this is a close second. But who’s counting?
Damn this COVID!
