Saw him perform once in the UK supporting Gary Moore. Had never heard of Otis. But then he played, and was incredible and unforgettable. I felt ashamed of my ignorance and grateful that i had the opportunity to correct it. He is tremendous and I hope to see him again in England one day
Never heard of him till 2 years ago and Gary Moore!!! Anybody won’t to clue me in on some more high octane acts-past or presence(rip Gary Moore)
The banjo is quite soulful.
I am sitting here with my jaw on the floor at this skill and "feelin'". Instant fan!
Otis is a national treasure
Otis Thank you.
You look and sound like my friend who got me sober. So i come here to get sober.
I hope your recovery journey is going well, friend. Just remember that the past isn't always straight. Just don't give up and keep trying, even if you stumble.

There is so much history, and hard work, and knowledge, and pain, and soul, and life experience all in his eyes. Its amazing. You just look at him, and your in a trance.. lol.
Otis Taylor is the most important musican in my world. I cannot get enough of him, and have all his music, I've listened to him exclusively for going on 3 years now, with a few exceptions, honestly. If you listen once, you're hooked. He is dynomite in person, too. He says he is Trance Blues, well, I'm in it!
GEE, THAT ABOUT FUCKN' QUALIFIES YOU TO GO OUT', MARCH & ACTUALLY GET A JOB, IN THE NAME OF THE NEWEST GENOCIDE/OCCUPATION..... ZOMBIE DEVOTEE
Loving your music so much and God bless you all regards from Slovakia, Europe.
I could listen to Otis talk for days. And love how the fiddle player uses her entire body when she plays.
A very genuine earthiness about his music, indicative of the man himself.
Just found out about this guy, love this song. Love the fiddle, all of it. Music really does sooth the soul, makes you happy, makes you dance, brings back memories, whether good or sad. Thank you Otis Taylor and Tiny Desk Concert. New fan.
A on the road playlist is never complete without at least one song from him . So now you are good to go ✌️
I don't think I've ever seen a bass player make playing the same G note for 10 minutes straight looks so entertaining. Good for him! :)
My favorite line up of this band
Thanks to films, I found Otis Taylor, a revelation of riches. Thanks for uploading this, it is simply uplifting.
Glad Otis mentioned the Denver Folklore Center! that place changed my life too! so many great folks have been through there. Really cool that now Denver folklore Center has Otis's signature OME banjo unless they sold it
I spontaneously started stomping around the house at 7:22 song. Liberating trance!
I always loved hearing Otis Taylor playing banjo, I have the Recapturing the Banjo CD.
Its a great album, Rock on Otis Bro Happy Picking.
Saw him at a festival in Raleigh NC 7 or 8 years ago and he is amazing... Talent travels... and as nice a man as you could meet....
I love listening to these guys
Thanks.. something made of excellence.. grateful for a measure of..
this is a meaningful song, so passionate of words
Say what you will about the bass player, but his line is consistently spot-on... as opposed to others, not naming any names.
One of the best bass players around, his resume says it all

Okay, Enigmatic, you can take it down a notch. Music is a big tent. Plenty of room for you to enjoy fine musicians like Otis without reflexively feeling you have to diss someone else's tastes at the same time.
Best Blues Singer ever :)
would love to see this band
What a greate music. Wow.
That Les Paul sounds so sweet.
This got me subscribed 5 years ago
Bellissimo.
E' veramente qualcosa di incredibilmente unico!
Dude was an exceptional man.
Very good, lyrics match and unique.
This concert also shows the importance of having live audio engineering on stage.
The electric guitar when in solo needs to go up at least two bars.
Brilliant!!
I want his voice
The fiddle adds alota of depth too.
Soulful

Sitting down here fallout shelter
Paint my walls, twice a week
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Think about the slaves, long time ago
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their Legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their Legs
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself

Ran So Hard
Spoke to the wrong person that day
Went back home and hid away
Woke up wonderin' what'd I see?
Tar and feather comin' after me
I ran so hard the sun went down
I ran so hard the moon came up
The moon came up, The moon came up
The moon came up, The moon came up
I ran so hard the sun came down
Ran so hard the moon came up
The moon came up, The moon came up
The moon came up, The moon came up
Woo!
Woo!
Ran so hard the moon went up
Run that up, Moon went up
The moon went up, The moon went up
The moon went up, The moon went up
I ran so hard the sun went down
Ran so hard the moon went up
The moon went up, The moon went up
The moon went up, The moon went up
Woo!
Step on it!
Woo!
The moon went up, The moon went up
