Only a very good guitarist can sound so good with no special effects ‘. I think that this is especially true if you play The Blues, because the subtitles in your playing make all the difference.
What a beautiful force to be reckoned with, this is my first time listening to Sue Foley, great player and a cool looking Tele, love the live concept of this album, not enough female blues guitar players out there, which is probably a good thing for Sue, nice work,I'll have to check out some of the videos,I'm an instant fan, thanks for the interview.
We met Sue as a teenager, back in the late 80’s, (so cute, wearing her beret). Informing us she preferred Texas, to Chicago Blues. Next thing you know, Clifford Antone’s invited her to live & record on his label, in Austin, TX. April ‘93, we caught her at an Antone’s benefit gig, with Jimmie & most of the local heavyweights. Respectfully, SRV isn’t the best, (saw him live, 5 times)…do your REAL BLUES homework, beyond the atypical blues rockers & obvious, popular heavyweights. Jimmie is the superior blues guitarist, of the 2 brothers. It’s not about over-the-top gymnastics…Johnny Winter set that bar, way back in the late ‘60’s. For myself, Stevie was still trying to find his sound, too busy aping his hero’s, Albert King licks & Jimi Hendrix, note-for-note. JDW III had his style totally intact from his self titled Columbia release & the Progressive Blues Experiment. What many don’t understand is, Johnny totally understood the Blues history, back to it’s earliest, country acoustic roots. Like Sue, he was a passionate obsessive, consumed with the music & it’s history. Stevie always insisted his older brother was better…he wasn’t lying. Too many blues rockers are drawn to this flashy, million note Wank Olympics thing. Less is more, stripped back essence & the core soul of the blues…tone & attitude. Albert Collins would slay all comers with a lethal pallet of choice, nasty, 2️⃣ TON TONE‼️ 🇨🇦
Bro. You need to learn to let the guest lead the interview. This should have been about SUE. Not Stevie, Jimmie, your preference for picks ECT. You are coming across like a Fanboy here.

Some effects bring out nuance.
I had the pleasure of seeing Sue at Montreal Jazz fest a few years ago and OMG she killed it.

I always thought Sue should do live recording. suits her style.
That was great! Tanx Arie and Sue. Love the pinky blues.
Thanks for watching Otto
Great to see this long an interview with Sue. I don't know why it took the YT algorithm a month to recommend this to me, but at least I got here.
Glad you found it!
Fantastyczna artystka absolutna gwiazda 🇵🇱

Hey Sue Foley
Are you a James Burton fan?
Was curious cause your guitar looks just like his guitar..
Thank you. 👍
Great Stuff, Who's this Dave you speak of?
When is Dave mentioned? I’ll find out for you.
@@AriePapernick It was me I think you mentioned about the Toronto show. It was a tongue in cheek comment, I'm a kidder
VIKING KRUE lol. Gottcha. Thx for watching
Guitar is not dead.. it just smells funny
Sue is great, but you're not a good interviewer. You should have got her to talk, instead of you, you, you.
great musician. great interview @AriePapernick @suefoleyofficial

Totally agree this was the last one I did during Covid. My other interviews are more relaxed.
