Tommy Emmanuel is all of the greats in one man. The feeling of music flows right through him. Articulate in every way with his playing. He sings all emotion right through his fingers. Simply one of the best guitar players of our time.
Love this version like forever. The way Mr Emanuel swings his version is like no other. When I met Doc Watson in 1978. Doc & Merle Watson (on Bass) were playing this song in a wonderful wooden chapel in DeLand Florida. The acoustics were dynamic. I was 27 & had only been playing guitar for 10 years. I was blessed to spend some time with him. What an amazing man. Truly one of the kindest people I have ever met. It was like he could look right into my inner being & knew who I was. I gained great insight into finger style guitar thru this encounter. He stayed with the events coordinator next door to where I lived. Merle had gone to bed, but Doc sat out on the screened in porch & continued to play. I fell asleep on my porch listening to that wonderful sound of his picking style. To hear his music , meet him & spend time in his presence was an uplifting spiritual experience. Thank you Mr. Emanuel for your dedication & such a fine version of this song. Vince James Ajello
This is basically the greatest thing ever recorded on a microphone. It also defies all of quantum physics, back to the drawing board! Just when you think you understand the universe, an enigma arises.
there were 2 friends of mine doc and eric they were in a bluegrass band two weeks notice they decided that they would have a concert at kern county fairgrounds they had doc ,hot rize and newrass revival as well as some others and i sat on stage for doc watson he was really on that day . got to talk with him and he was so friendly i just couldnt get over sitting with my hero thanks to john and eric you two dont know how much joy you brought me so thank you (: (:
One of Tommy Emanuel's best songs. Such an execution of finger picking on the beat, the off beat & back beat. Alternating base lines, harmonic cord structured notes, & single notes complementing the entire composition. A masterpiece from one of the world's greatest guitarist's.
Yes , I am familiar with the original composers of "deep River Blues. What I should have said was it was one of Tommy Emanuel's greatest interprets of the many songs he has arranged. Tks for pointing that out. I know Doc Watson's version is very well known. I got to meet Doc years ago & he played it live. Also, one of the greatest guitarists of our time.
@@fabiosky4368I love Docs version though it was a bit more straightforward. But that’s one of the things I love about him. You can take the man off the mountain but you can’t take the mountain out of the man.
Great playing. Got first introduced to this song 40 years ago by Hall and Oats. They'll be listening to this track in another 100 years, Great music stands the test of time.
Imagine yourself a guitar sitting on a stand and seeing Tommy Emmanuel walking toward you with an outstretched hand. I'd be thinking this was going to be the best day of my life!
Tommy I live in South Carolina USA! I have been following you and your music since I started on guitar 5 years ago! I'm self taught and I've been playing with my fingers all 5 years ! I am building up my thumb independence from my fingers and I'm getting pretty good ! It is my life's dream to play with you one day Tommy ! I love your music so much and I strive to be at least half as good as you one day ! I practice all day except for when I'm working but I play with both pick and fingers and hybrid style pickin sometimes but that seems a little more difficult but I'm learning it! You are a true inspiration to me Tommy you and Chester Atkins! And also Lester Paul was great ! But my name is Ryne Murray and I really love your tunes and I'm practicing everyday to be good as you! I hope to meet you someday! Cheers !
Listen to some Justin Johnson also. Maybe try your hand at a 3 string cigar box guitar. Justin says a 3 string will make you think about your playing in a different way and will improve your 6 string playing.
Tommy does some sort of guitar retreat/workshop-week in the US, I think about once a year. You should maybe sign up for that Ryne, and fulfill that dream.
I have to recommend studying all Mississippi John Hurt's tunes. In particular, Candyman, Avalon, Monday Morning Blues, Make Me A Pallet and watch how he plays Spike Driver Blues on the Pete Seeger Show, available here in YT. MJH's thumb is so solid. You mimic that and you will learn. I love this DRB version, some sweet notes I've been leaving out. Good Luck
Ryan, write him a letter via his website. He'd love to reply and sign your guitar when you meet him at some nearby concert. He's often in the US, so watch out for his tours.
Some of the best finger picking blues guitar I have heard. Such detail and accuracy and what a beautiful guitar sound. Tommy and Jason’s voices complement each other so well. A wonderful song made more powerful by its very simple and uncluttered production.
Nothing to say. No words yo try to explain how nobody can has that feeling and how great is his playing. Nobody but Tommy has this power ,thanks for his feeling.
Thank you for sending me all of the great songs you play. Your friend Danny C. I know you will never rember me. I think in my time I heard you play ever where I could. You are still one of the greates players I( have ever heard Danny C.
This is a great rendition of a classic. I’ve been enjoying learning this song by ear for over 2 years lol just refining it more and more over time. Can’t say I’m anywhere near this level of skill of course but it’s definitely made me a better player.
Let it rain, let it pour Let it rain a whole lot more 'Cause I got them deep river blues Let the rain drive right on Let the waves sweep along 'Cause I got them deep river blues My old gal's a good old pal And she looks like a water fowl When I get them deep river blues Ain't no one to cry for me And the fish all go out on a spree When I get them deep river blues Give me back my old boat I'm gonna sail if she'll float 'Cause I got them deep river blues I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals Times are better there I'm told Cause I got them deep river blues If my boat sinks with me I'll go down, don't you see 'Cause I got them deep river blues Now I'm gonna say goodbye And if I sink, just let me die 'Cause I got them deep river blues Let it rain, let it pour Let it rain a whole lot more 'Cause I got them deep river blues Let the rain drive right on Let the waves sweep along 'Cause I got them deep river blues 'Cause I got them deep river blues
Since coming along to this version of the song I’ve probably played listened to on repeat a billion times over. I listen in my headphones while I take my dog roller blading, I listen to it at 5am LOUD on my way to get my coffee or go to work, I just freakin love this song
My compliments to a great chiatarrist like Tommy Emmanuel are due especially in this piece dedicated to Doc Watson that I have appreciated for several years, the compliments are especially dedicated to the ability to have spread in a contemporary way a huge lesson of life and feeling given to humanity by the simple heart of a man who unfortunately could never look at the life that passed around him. It is obligatory to say thank you for what he gave to all of us.
Been watching Tommy on here for over 10 years, finally seen him in Perth two days ago, bloody magic, makes it seem so easy and effortless, he also played, Deep River Blues, I wish he could have played all night.
He's always been amazing. People flock to perform with him. He's unassuming and very generous. He can play any type of music and do it all justice. I really like Knoffler... but Tommy is the best... just gotta say.
@@Soccasteve I know what you mean.. I spend lots of time on stuff like this. LOL.. My wife calls my guitars my "girl friends" Tommy must either be genius or He also spends hours working these out.. ( which I doubt. LOL). Wonderful stuff though.. and just a pleasure to play after all that work.
Love that tune ...and I always love how TE puts signature inflections to Docs arrangement . Amazing how TE keeps reinventing himself Hope all is well with u and family TE Cheers Alberta Dave 🇨🇦
This arrangement is as great as Doc Watson"s released in 1960s. I have never impressed another versions of this song. Tommy"s version is only one exception becasuse it is so musically excellent and beautiful.
Tommy Emmanuel is by far one of my favorite acoustic guitarist, and I’m a huge fan of Jason Isbell so I knew this was gonna be good before I even clicked play!
Remarkable playing as always, Mr. Emmanuel - you’re a simply amazing source of inspiration. You and Jason complement each other really well - I’d love to hear more.
Love watching him play it’s sad that I only discovered him last year my uncle told me to look him up I’m glad I did ever since then I’ve been hooked on his music.
I saw Doc and Meryl play this live at the Hub Pub Club in Banner Elk, NC around 1977. Loved this tune then and love it now. Well played Tommy, well played!
@@lukelyons7255 : I don't think there is something like a race of who is best. Every good player has his own skills. Also every style has its own players. See some classical players, see a whole bunch of flamenco players, see some C&W players, see some pop music players. Etc. etc. etc. Fackt is: this guy is a marvellous and versatile skilled player who has great musical taste and knows by intuititon and hearing how to arrange his music! I feel he is one amongst the best players in the world. And someone of whom many people learned a lot qua playing skills and how to interpret a song. Of course I can't speak for others. However speaking for myself I learned a lot by listening and watching this fantastic guitarguy!!!
aesthetics of filming is just great: The mud everywhere. The sepia look. And of course a blues just like a blues has to be. I love listening to both of your voices. And just one guitar, amazing. Greetings from MiddleWest of Europe
Absolutely incredible! Take it from a lifelong musician. LOVE listening to this down home blues song sung from the heart! Tommy you're the best. Would love to play blues harp with you sometime. Keep pickin'
I don't care if you like rock, reggae, metal or rap. If this does not touch you then you are made of stone. Amazing.
Братка.... Ай эм раша
@@taranov73 и чо!?
True that....!
Style is important to a listener, but from a technical standpoint, Tommy is as talented as any player alive.
thanks to this great musicians remembering their teacher DOC WATSON! ciao from italy
Doc Watson would be proud. Amazing.
Yep

Get out of town! Really? In 78' I was 15. I have much of the same story. Crazy isn't it.
😅
Lucky!
Every time I see Tommy playing, I get both frustration and motivation!
Same here broo ;)
Saranya Biswas lol
So true! 😂
Me too😔
Indeed sir... I try to stay with motivation part but, damn - he's SO GOOD!!!
What a beautiful tribute to Doc, and a well-deserved one. If Doc were still with us, he would be deeply moved by this version of his old standard.
This is basically the greatest thing ever recorded on a microphone. It also defies all of quantum physics, back to the drawing board! Just when you think you understand the universe, an enigma arises.

Cool video. Like how the guitar and Tommy's hands are smeared with mud. Huge applause for the production crew and of course Tommy and Jason too.
I was trying to figure out what was on his hands.
I simply love this gorgeous performance by these two wonderfull musicians.
Mr Tommy, your killin me in South Alabama. It just don’t get any better, thanks.
He makes it look positively simple … yeah right! Amazing!
Best version I've heard yet brilliant Tommy class 🎸
That was righteous fellow babies no question. So fine and mellow. Wisdom in those chords babies. Righteous wisdom!

Let it rain, let it pour
Let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on
Let the waves sweep along
'Cause I got them deep river blues
My old gal's a good old pal
And she looks like a water fowl
When I get them deep river blues
Ain't no one to cry for me
And the fish all go out on a spree
When I get them deep river blues
Give me back my old boat
I'm gonna sail if she'll float
'Cause I got them deep river blues
I'm goin' back to Muscle Shoals
Times are better there I'm told
Cause I got them deep river blues
If my boat sinks with me
I'll go down, don't you see
'Cause I got them deep river blues
Now I'm gonna say goodbye
And if I sink, just let me die
'Cause I got them deep river blues
Let it rain, let it pour
Let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on
Let the waves sweep along
'Cause I got them deep river blues
'Cause I got them deep river blues

A Master Class to be watched over and over, with more to learn
Awesome performance, perhaps my favorite of his all time.
Le top des tops BRAVOS
It ain't gonna be any better than that, so moving, so gripping, you can really feel what music is and has always been about. Thank you for this.
This is just as enjoyable as the iconic Doc Watson’s. The slower tempo emphasizes the blues.
My god I’m in love with this song! 😍 incredible! Need to learn this!! 🤘🎸🔥
Especially if you've seen Doc in person. 😉🤠
I spent like 4 months learning the Doc Watson version but now I wanna learn this version too lol

This song always reminds me of MY HERO Doc Watson. Doc introduced me to bluegrass. I've been enthralled ever since
Good gawd, this was tasty!! Whew, some amazing yummy chops he pulls off..
Love what this man can play. Nothins else like Tommy and his guitar!!
This Great piece kept all the musicians busy for years! They tried to analyze every thing. It's still a great piece!
Thank you Tommy, very fine, very fine!

Tommy Emmanuel is by far one of my favorite acoustic guitarist, and I’m a huge fan of Jason Isbell so I knew this was gonna be good before I even clicked play!
Best version I've ever heard fantastic ❤
Remarkable playing as always, Mr. Emmanuel - you’re a simply amazing source of inspiration. You and Jason complement each other really well - I’d love to hear more.
Ok, I've backed it up and started over 8 times. I'm finally satisfied. I LOVE IT!
People don't forget about Jason Isbell! He played his part damn right!
what did he do? sing harmony ?...???...? congrats
100
Rex Zens he sang every other verse and harmony.
Excellent version of this tune. One of the best I've ever heard.
I love how crisp and clean every note is!
I have like it one time, then unlike it, them like it again, so I can like it twice! LOL. This is unbelievably awesome!
if it were the one and only song Tommy has ever produced, he would still be remembered for good.
Mon idole
He plays the best version but song belongs to another guy
Mec Wave I love Tommy but Doc’s version is the template that every other cover of this song is based on. No one does it better.
@@stephens9462 for my musical taste , best version.
better, best - doesn't matter at all. A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Magic!
Realy from strings to heart
You really killed it, unbelievably good. Doc Watson's looking down and he's proud.
I NEVER EAR THIS COVER, IS BRILLIANT.
Просто Неймовірне виконання з почуттям......Simply Incredible Execution With A Feeling ...!
In my simple opinion, the best acoustic guitar picker ever. This dude is fearless !
EXELENT
Love watching him play it’s sad that I only discovered him last year my uncle told me to look him up I’m glad I did ever since then I’ve been hooked on his music.
I fell in love with this version of the song and video the first time I saw and heard it. The great Tommy Emmanuel.
I love when he sings. Accomplice One is incredible and it's up to audiophile standards in sound quality.
I saw Doc and Meryl play this live at the Hub Pub Club in Banner Elk, NC around 1977. Loved this tune then and love it now. Well played Tommy, well played!
Isbell s voice is special.
Beautiful Version. Sucessful collaboration.
To see the wizened hands belting out the boogie is inspiring.
SOUNDS SO AWESOME!!! I LOVE BLUES

Has there been someone in history who has been better than him?
