christone Kingfish Ingram brought me here
Me too
I didn’t find iron man till after he passed
I was lucky enough to see him at pocono blues festival years ago. Blew me away.
RIP my brother….inspired hundreds of future players to come
Another blues singer gone back home. Rest in peace Mr Burks.
I am truly sorry to discover this great guy just ... now !!! I was brought here thanks to Kingfish playing this song...
Me too
Michael Burkes works a Les Paul to it’s maximum potential and reminds me of Gary Moore.
RIP Iron Man. You'll be an inspiration to guitar players for years to come.
Kingfish
@@JohnWick-fv7jn beat me to it!
Im 51 and only just seen this dude ? How i have missed such a great guitarist ? Im an SRV , mayer, clapton fan but this guy is epic
Saw him twice in a small club in Salem,Oregon in '06&'07. Super nice guy... Talked for an hour with me and my friend after the show.
You should hear his version of HEY JOE
@@ahuramazda323 and you should hear guitar shorty play hey Joe... 17 minutes long.
@@timhoovermusicman how about Otis Taylor with Joe Cocker on vocal? The bass player in this version is amazing.
@@ahuramazda323 I'll look for it.
Never heard of him shocking he should be famous
Impossible de ne pas pleurer 😢
Seen him in a small club in Bellingham, WA. in 2010 . Band played for 3 hrs straight hrs . Couldn’t even sneak out to smoke a bowl. Michael played his ass off that night. IRON MAN RIP
The truest song ever!
RIP brother. Gone way too soon.
A true blues monster, amazing 🙏🙏🙏
I think i love this more every time i listen!
Most natural and organic blues guitarist I've ever seen,man's bleeding with his guitar and it shows. Shame....yet again.
Gone waaay too soon. Rest in Paradise, Michael.
What a mighty talent. What a shame that he's passed away so horribly early. R.I.P, Iron Man. All of the Immortals cramming the Blues Pantheon were prepared to greet you, guitars in hand, from Lil' Son and Lightnin', to Muddy and Stevie Ray.
I saw Michael somewhere around 2008 live in a small cafe in Gooreind Belgium. I didn't know his music and was introduced to it by a friend. He realy stole my musical heart in a sec and "Empty Promises" is of course an amazing, sad , but so beautiful song. I bought 3 cd's which he very kindly signed. He took time to make a little chat. Ever since that day, he was a great influence to me, as a guitar player!! There are a lot of "Empty Promises" covers, out there, and many are great, but when you hear Michael doing it, it's just magic. RIP big guy!!!
You were pure gold. Thank you for your music SIR, LOVE YOU!!! You were the one who showed me and taught me "THE BLUES!"
You know what i am saying...
Number one!
What a touch of blues... great!
MY GOD... What more can you say about his playing. AMAZING.
he wasn't on my radar either. then I find he's passed on. like all my heroes - Moore , Gallagher & on..
Feel it man, I love this man, the Band, the friends I met while he was on this earth and made it a better place. ALL the Band members...deep man, deep....his and the Bands time was coming...he had more, plenty more..
Jaw dropping bad-to-the-blood-blues. Oh my, this man bled the blues here so mind boggling blissfully sweet. Talk about entertainment, here it is, and a blues squalling voice to go with all those hot licks.
His studio solo on this song is epic blues guitar. Strong milking of each note. A good style. I hate milksops on guitar.
Fortunate enough to have seen this great musician in action at two different Blues Festivals in the last couple of years. I can hardly believe he has gone to play guitar with Jimi and Robert J at the great gig in the sky. A sad loss for blues fans everywhere. Thanks for the music, Michael, you were great!
Han sido 10:39 minutos con la piel de gallina.
Viva el Blues, viva Michael Burks.
Muy de acuerdo. Ya se que hace 4 años de tu comentario, pero esto es imperecedero. ¡Gracias y un saludo!
IRON MAN!!
Love Michael !!
RIP Iron man
One of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen, but also one of the most humble and kind human beings I’ve ever met, so sad that more people don’t know about him
This guy was amazing.
Un grand, grand musicien, du travail de pro, pas une bavure bravo Michael. Du très beau rock-blues, on en redemande tant c'est beau.
Yeah this dude was unbelievable
THE GREAT Michael Burks ! O so missed !
Mr. Iron Man definitely one of the greats, rest well sir, rest on. Jarekus plays this song in his sets to keep your memory alive.
Check out Soul Brother " Christone "Kingfish" Ingram - Empty Promises Live! " :)
Bumped into this after listening to another blues phenom, Christone Kingfish Ingram.
Clearly, Kingfish was inspired by this version. Didnt know Michael Burks was gone. RIP.
Inspired by this dude wrote the song
I think you may be right. Kingfish is great as is (was) this guy. I love this music.
I know that Michael did a lot to help kingfish in the start of his career
omg. goosebumps man
Yes we’ve lost a big one, RIP Iron Man, greatly missed!
A real blues man 😊
This dude top 10 blues guitarist, top 25 alltime
Beautiful.
EPIC IRON MAN
Love it!!!!
Hellacious jam sessions in heaven: SRV, theThree Kings, Albert Collins, and this man would have to be included. Just now discovering, story of my life, a day late and a dollar short. Thank goodness for YT.
Uaaaau !!!!!!! What a feeling !!!!!! Amazing !!!!! I miss you Man !!!!!!
RIP, Iron man.
Playing music for the king playing music for the king you are amen rest in peace Michael we love you we'll see you soon
You are my favorite blues guy with a larg fry my big mac attack aint never comin back much luv.....
R.I.P iron man :)
Bought him { and myself} shots of Jack at Stickyz in Little Rock. One of the greats who is gone to damn soon!!
Absolutely mesmerizing.... That guitar tone, my god it's beautiful. Sad I could not see him live when he was still alive. R.I.P Iron Man
Love and Peace. Rest in Peace, brother.
BEAST MODE!
A beast !
very nice song and the iron man is fabulous!
Wonderful Blues RIP!
This song is amazing, saw him live about a month ago, awe inspiring experience!
Just found Michael, he was a great player..
I am a long time Blues, R&B, Funk, Soul ,Rock fan man at heart. I will just say that this song has soul and I found out about him in a round about kind of way through Christone (King Fish)Ingram shoes version of this song I just love. Rock and Blues with soul. Albert said some guys can play really fast but forget to put in the soul. This guy didn't.I am a drummer and like the both bass and drums on this also. Rock/Blues sad blues ballad.Sad to hear at passed away from a blood clot on a plane back from Europe recently. A great guitar player was lost that night. R.I.P. Christone is carrying on your legend and you left us this beautiful song. Rest well. Jeff
Great singing an´great guitar slinging there. 10+
would have loved too have heard him play it live in person. AS GREAT AS IT GETS..
Albert Gatte , I was blessed to do just that. He is the only man, with this song, that took me to my knees in tears!
That was insanely good!
Amazing!
Fantastic
Soberbia presentacion, nunca lo disfutamos en vida, ya nos dejo y solo hay que gozar estas notas
Can't tell you how many broken hearts this song has nursed me through. If you need a song to help you "let it all out", this is the one.
Great rythem section two brother......
Saw him twice in a small club.
freakin iron man!
Just GREAT🎸 Thank You Brother'🙌🏾
O MY GOD I LOVE IT!!!!
RIP Michael
That boy can play
Holy crap this is great!! Nice to here dynamics in music. Only sorry I just discovered him in 2019!!! I will be listening to more of this amazing guitarist and his band!!
bärig
His usually plays with his heart.
Very much missed
my god could this man play the guitar.....
He's good all right. Pity the audience didn't feel the same way. Talking in the background is annoying.
Dang, I live in Little Rock, going to have to watch for a show.....
if we could just filter out the 'talkers." RIP Iron Man!!
Ça envoie !
God damn 🤙🏼
That drummer sure does like his cymbals, doesn't he?
Just discovered this bad was music..wow..im always late..
One of my fave blues songs. He was a strong guitarist who didn't hide his notes like some weaklings who blend their play in too low.
Dynamics are very important I heavily disagree
le blues a perdu un de ses plus beaux talents ..... RIP Iron Golden Man .
Wat a Shame!..Gone 2 Early In Life!
Jarekus singleton...
...Is carrying the torch.
Iron man puts them all to rest !😂
Love how he slows down and then rips another lick.
Jarekus singleton does a great cover of this.
It is pretty good...but my God check put Kingfish's cover that recently came out! Such a dope song.
@@rmiller9969 I did and you're right it's very good I will have to listen to it a few more times
The bass player looks like Cliff Moore....hmmm , Don Garrett you say?
shouldnt darryl be working in the warehouse?
Better than the rest 😂
