There are good musicians and acts around, problem are the so called "billionaires" that run the music and entertainment industry, they don't want to take risks and so only support acts they can control and are easy to mass produce.
The cycle continues. If those boys only knew how much they resemble their grandparents that were my generation from the 70’s. It was a joy to watch them.
This song is a hundred years old. Literally. The Ram Jam version came out 38 years after Lead Belly's 1939 release. And he probably acquired it from earlier folk songs.
These guys remind me of when I was young, only I didn't play by the ocean... or have any musical talent... or 3 friends that were conscious at any given time. I did have a lot of hair. Ah, the memories.
The acoustic lead player has some mad skills! People who don't play guitar can't truly appreciate what he is doing and the difficulty involved. They did a great job!!
@@misterzero8667Did you know that only 10% of the entire world population say that they, “play guitar?” Now, start subtracting…not everyone is at a level of talent to play lead. Any lead. Then consider the acoustic action over that of the electric. We’re talking maybe 3-5% of the population of the world now. Don’t take away from donaldmcmillan5529’ s post and sell the musician in the video short.
This song originally dates from around 1910 and was a workers' song by black slaves. It is attributed to the blues musician Leadbelly here is an older version from 1933 ruclips.net/video/tiCEVl_9-MM/видео.html
Love what you do lads. Never let a label, manager or music industry suit, change a thing about what you guys are doing. Great chemistry, sound amazing and super likeable.
Holy sh*t guys! You nailed that one! Not an easy song to play with all the changes and breaks. It was a favorite of ours on the radio in the 70’s. I’ve heard it recently on an oldies station and remember it well. I’ve never heard a copy that even came close to what you guys just did! On acoustic/electric no less at the beach. Everything was dead on man! Bass, rhythm, lead, drums and vocals sounded just dead on man. Even the harmony leads into the bridge just perfect. Wow! Just Wow! Exceptional musicianship! Mahalo nui loa, aloha. 🤙🏼
These young men are on fire, respect that they love and respect real rock and roll blues. Also, dig their hair grow it long while you can. Please keep these videos coming.
Ha, no big stage and flashing lights, nah, bare essentials and still pump out good stuff. 👍 Guys, if you ever make it big, jsut remember who you are and respect each other before the pressures of contracts and record companies fk you up. Cheers! Mick

I had to listen to this about 5 times and every time it’s better than the first. The drum part is the hardest and he nailed it! The whole song is pretty hard and every part was f*cking flawless! Wow! There’s an extended version with the drum solo that goes on and on and that’s what really made this song great way back when. It was one of those incredible one-offs that just spun your head around man. Every single moment is intense and rhythmic to the max! You guys just captured every feeling in this old classic so well. Thanks so much guys. Wow man. 🤙🏼
Oldie but goodie. Guys looked like they had fun with this one. Everyone was on point. An acoustic Black Betty Well done guys. Camera man getting close up while the guys were jammin was on Point as well.Nice work all around
Thanks Adam. Much appreciated. Especially since Sony claimed this video and it didn’t even get monetised 🤦🏻♂️ Unbelievable Thanks for your donation mate
Well done boys, glad to see REAL ! Not overdubbed, auto-tuned, AI generated, not dehanced or enhanced, strait to the point Rock n' Roll. Done by fellows who know the Art. Thanks !
Every person more than held up their end. Man, I rocked to this when I was a long-haired young man. Outstanding work young men. That drum is obviously a musical instrument. I have never seen one before, but clearly, one can get a relatively full percussion range out of it.
I love RUclips! Watching these four young men go from little groms to outstanding musicians and rockstars is so cool. Koby looked like he was just out of diapers in those old videos. Keep rocking
The more I see and listen to these guys, the more and more impressed I am. I’ve heard anyone worth listening to over the past 50 years and I’m here to tell anyone who’ll listen, this band is the real deal.
I first heard this song as a teen, fifteen as I recall. Fast forward to now & at sixty one I still appreciate this fine piece of music..greetings from England 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧
Brilliant!! I was in my teens through the 70s and this number was epic when it hit the charts in the UK. This is when ‘air guitars’ were first used in anger!! Fantastic, tight rendition guys. I don’t know what I love more about this video - that you have all pulled this off so brilliantly, or that you are all brothers and have done this (my brother and I can’t be in the same room for five minutes without arguing and falling out). That you all have 70s hair also rocks!! Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄✌️🎸☘️
Omg the hair! I only dated musicians in the 80’s and 90’s. I love it you guys have the best hair ever! Love the song, I was listening to this in the80’s I believe
GOOD ONE GUYS!! I USED TO HAVE THIS VERY ALBUM WHEN I WAS YOUNG. THAT WAS AWESOME!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME VIDEO WITH US!! 😊 🩷 🔥 🤘 ✌️
An acoustic version of Black Betty played by young men! There IS hope in this world!
Lot of leads there for true acoustic guitars but I know what you mean 👍🏻
There are good musicians and acts around, problem are the so called "billionaires" that run the music and entertainment industry, they don't want to take risks and so only support acts they can control and are easy to mass produce.
lol, I'll hope with you.
2024 and 4 young guys play this song. 1000000 Thanks
Why can’t the world be full of people and things like this instead of what we have? Life affirming.
These brothers are jamming a song first recorded in 1939, so well done, today they got me smiling.
You are right 💯
The World is full of people and things like this.
Well said!
@@phaedrussmith1949 You know what he means... but you're both right.
The cycle continues. If those boys only knew how much they resemble their grandparents that were my generation from the 70’s.
It was a joy to watch them.
Personally I like the guy with curly hair.
I am 60 now. So great to see the young love this song still. Welldone! 💜
I’m 70. You’re so right.😊
@27andymay Me too!✌🏻
My mom passed away last year, her name was Betty, she loved this song! You made me cry mates, thank you!
Sending my condolences.
I am very sorry for your loss.Just know she is in Heaven and is your Guardian Angel now..
Same. Take it easy man. 💘

I was 17 when this came out. I'm 62 now and you guys nailed it! Love this version!!
ditto

Wow me too. I named my black cat Betty
You have me by five years but I didn't hear the original until about twenty-five years ago. Good stuff, I love this acoustic version. Nice job fellas.
This is what we meant when we said Rock 'n Roll Will Never Die.
Gentlemen, that was absolutely stunningly great.
it's crazy that everyone is just NAILING Every single part and it's all Live Acoustics!! Great job guys Keep on Rockin.
Yeah, all of them. It's easy to overlook some of the great bass work there, too.
@@woody5476and he's doing backing vocals on top of it !
Four young geezers sitting by the ocean belting out a classic. What more do you need.
No kidding!🫶🏻
These guys remind me of when I was young, only I didn't play by the ocean... or have any musical talent... or 3 friends that were conscious at any given time. I did have a lot of hair.
Ah, the memories.
Me too 😂 I found out at an early age that I was put on this earth to be in the audience. 😂
I always thought it was my lack of hair was my problem but like you it might be the items you listed too.
@@philedwards2679 That's a great line! Almost an epitaph!

The acoustic lead player has some mad skills! People who don't play guitar can't truly appreciate what he is doing and the difficulty involved. They did a great job!!
And to do that so well without distortion to cover imperfections up...
@@woody5476 You're talking about me now!! 😂😂
It's very simple to play don't go overboard any competent guitarist can play it

@@kalleschwowell8062 - Thanks for that. I’m betting there’s plenty more examples, too. Music is amazing.
Love what you do lads. Never let a label, manager or music industry suit, change a thing about what you guys are doing. Great chemistry, sound amazing and super likeable.
Never!
Agreed! These guys are awesome just the way they are!
This former big haired rock chick is thoroughly impressed. You tadpoles honored and breathed new life into a classic rock ensemble. Bravo!
That is an excellent Mashup. I get happy when today's youth respect and honor yesterday's music. Well done!
Is there any better than watching 4️⃣ brothers playing a classic 🎵 on the 🏖️????
✌️ 🌿
Long hair, great song, sun, great musicians..... Nice video......NICE.
Brilliant. Perfect. No voice or instrument over dub and loops, pure musicianship
Boys are enjoying themselves playing this one! Very tight too, well done.
these dudes keep redefining classics while writing their own tunes which are metal and edgy...love the covers!

Thanks Adam. Much appreciated. Especially since Sony claimed this video and it didn’t even get monetised 🤦🏻♂️ Unbelievable
Thanks for your donation mate
@MixedUpEverything You guys are very welcome. I could see a big dog like Sony owning this one. Very popular on classic rock radio and sporting events.
That did my old heart good.
Well done boys, glad to see REAL ! Not overdubbed, auto-tuned, AI generated, not dehanced or enhanced, strait to the point Rock n' Roll. Done by fellows who know the Art. Thanks !
Real music!
The first single I ever purchased, great to hear an acoustic version played by four very talented lads, loved it really well done 👍🏻
Holy smokes - didn't know there was so much to Black Betty... tight and powerful, guys - keep it up.
Every person more than held up their end. Man, I rocked to this when I was a long-haired young man. Outstanding work young men. That drum is obviously a musical instrument. I have never seen one before, but clearly, one can get a relatively full percussion range out of it.
That was truly outstanding! Tight as hell!
YOU YOUNG GUYS Kick My Ass... So Well Done!!! Sing the Best songs like you do... This is a Complicated Song when done RIGHT... This was Amazing!
Great song and awsome job you guys are doing on this song, peace and love from Covington, Indiana USA, keep up the great songs my friends.
I love RUclips! Watching these four young men go from little groms to outstanding musicians and rockstars is so cool. Koby looked like he was just out of diapers in those old videos. Keep rocking
Damn....you guy's stepped it up several notches on this one, sounded great !!
The more I see and listen to these guys, the more and more impressed I am. I’ve heard anyone worth listening to over the past 50 years and I’m here to tell anyone who’ll listen, this band is the real deal.
