This was written and recorded by Elmore James in 1959. There have been many artists who have covered it. This is one of the best versions, but the absolute best was done by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
They named the album released posthumously for Stevie Ray Vaughan "The Sky Is Crying". It had a version of the song on it. Great album. Every song on that album is a gem. That was the first version of "The Sky Is Crying" I ever heard. A suggestion from that very album "Chitlins con Carne" by SRV. Gorgeous instrumental by Stevie.
"There is no hurry to it", that's what I had to learn to love the Blues. You have to let it unfold and unwind in its own good time because it's there to take you on a journey if you let it. It took me a while to learn to love Blues and Jazz without wanting to hurry it up. It's not Rock & Roll or R&B, there is no chorus or hook to hit you. It's more than that. Of course, we wouldn't have Rock & Roll or R&B without the Blues and Jazz.
Jay and Amber, thank you for opening your hearts and minds to such classic music. I love watching your reaction to music that I grew up with, not only blues but all genres of music. Keep up the good work. ✌😁
Just so you know Stevie Ray Vaughan also did a cover of this song it is a little faster he also performed it with BB King , Albert King and Albert Collins and Paul Butterfield it is also a good version
Gary B has such a clean sound and is silky smooth. Great track. Bobby Blue Bland is a great blues singer and Keb Mo is really good. Or John Lee Hooker's 'Boom Boom'
Eric Claptons "Blues" CD. One disc was Live and the other was studio. He covered this song on that CD. To be fair Stevie Ray Vaughan covered this as well as Jeff Healy, George Thorogood, Albert King, B.B. King etc. etc.
Watch the great blues guitar players, the eyes close, the head goes back and suddenly, they are in special place, and they bring us with them, not everyone can go with, you have to have "it". Watching you two, it's obvious, that you have "it".
I grew up listening to the records and tapes my parents played. They liked (still) many different genres, although blues was not played that much. I had to discover it myself later. Now I can say that my most loved songs are blues songs. I love how the singers pour out their hearts while the instruments accompany and emphasize their feelings. When you listen to the blues, you can get lost in the sound and forget everything around you. For me personally this is the ultimate music to swoon to.
Some great Blues masters: Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Honeyboy Edwards, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson (Eric Clapton's Inspiration) and so many others.
A total blues classic of a song, he does it proud. For more blues try Muddy Waters and his Mannish Boy. Muddy was a banger before there was such a thing. Yep, right into you soul. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶
I have a blues suggestion for you... Peter Green. "A Fool No More" He started out in John Mayall and the Bluebreakers in 1966-67. After he left that group (which contained Eric Clapton) he helped found Fleetwood Mac with Mic Fleetwood and left the group in 1970. He originally wrote the song "Black Magic Woman" that was covered by Santana and who made it famous.
I've been a big blues fan for decades, but this artist escaped my notice until now. Very nice, soothing blues. I was thinking about what you said about how blues makes one feel, and I thought you might enjoy "Blues Makes Me Feel So Good" by Albert Cummings, who made that album with Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's band, shortly after he died. It's more up-tempo and quite catchy.
One of my fav blues guitarist is Peter Green. He does a BB King cover called ''I got a mind to give up living/all over again'''. His tone and the emotion coming out of his guitar is incredible! He was one of BBs favorite guitar player btw.
Absolutely amazing. The Blues just enters your veins and takes your soul to heaven. The guitars are speaking to you and soothing your mind. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love this song. And I don't know this artist, but I like him, too. It's blues, and several artists have covered it all different renditions of the same song and feelings!!
This is the kind of music I love to hear live. I know you already reacted to Robin Trower, Bridge of Sighs but I wandered into a small sports bar once for tge very first time years ago. I asked the Doorman why there was a $5 cover and he said they had live entertainment that evening. Nowhere was any signs of who was playing. There were only about 15 people in the bar and most were playing pool or watching one of many TV's. I grabbed a pitcher of beer and sat at the table in front of the stage all by myself. 30 minutes or so later, the band came out and began playing. It was Robin Trower! I think I was the only person there who knew who he was!
This is what I was trying to find, in the blues artists. My mom used to listen to this man, and I recognized him right away. I'm going to get a compilation of his music. Peace and safe blessings.
What I love about music like this is that you have Colemans cover and it's amazing and wonderful and slow and rich. But SRV's cover which is harder and faster doesn't take anything away from this song, they both have a place and can be enjoyed for what they are.
Jay & Amber, I’d recommend bluesman Albert Collins. These are songs from his album Ice Pickin’. "Master Charge” (lamenting his wife’s use of her credit card); "Conversation with Collins" (story of his wife’s girls night out/babysitting); "Honey, Hush! (Talking Woman Blues); "Too Tired"; "When the Welfare Turns Its Back on You".
Marc Broussard - "Home" has a lot of soul in it and you'll be surprised who the voice is coming from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have not heard this before. Absolutely brilliant. Loved it. I can see some licks from here used by Jimmy Page too. I have referred this track onto my guitar playing mates as well.
Larry Carlton does some REALLY creative blues guitar… ANYTHING by him is great… he plays a wide variety of styles and is on several Steely Dan songs, like Josie, and Kid Charlemagne… he’s maybe in the top 3 jazz players as well
The first time I ever heard this was from SRV and of course you know that is a great version. I don't think I've ever heard another version of it until just now but, like I have paraphrased before on your page that through your endeavor you have exposed me to music I myself including this version that I never even heard myself. For that I thank you and also want to say that I hope it isn't only old folks like myself listening to you and hope it is also your own generation. They need to be exposed to the truly great music(not just beats and rhymes). No matter where you are from, music is the universal language that brings us all together.
Hey y’all!! Great reaction to some blues!! I’m reminded of BB King and Stevie Ray Vaughn!! Loved so much seeing BB at his club downtown on Beale Street, of course I’m talking my hometown of Memphis!! I can remember this song bc he says “the tears roll down my nose”, lol!! Sure do miss seeing him at his club or anywhere you might least suspect!! Straight up my favorite has to be da’ Blues!!
Thanks for the rock music break and giving us some soul busting blues. Love to also see you do some big band, swing, jazz, soul and funk music. Even throw in some gospel....Mahalia Jackson for starters.
i was out job hunting years back. i had just moved back to Cincinnati from Indianapolis. i was so frustrated with the day, it didnt feel like the day was going to bear fruit. my oldest was young at the time, so the pressure was on. i hadnt realized that it was the 1 year anniversary of SRV's death. the sky closed in and got black as night on that hot August day and then came the biggest, fastest raindrops ive ever seen to this day, further dampening my spirit. how was i to job hunt now? i had no umbrella, i cant go in these places looking like this. and then on the radio a dj comes over one of our Cincinnati rock stations, WEBN, and says " rest in peace Stevie Ray Vaughan, 1 year ago today we lost one of the greats" and of course played his version of this song. i couldnt hold it back, i pulled over and well, had a moment. i guess it was everything, SRV's passing, the pressure of the day and also that i had the chance to see him live on his last tour and didnt go, i was so mad at myself. so all you crazy kids, buy the ticket and see the show, you may never get the chance again. RIP SRV
SRV is my fav, I was mainly Hard rock some old school funk in playing and listening, Angus was my Dude,had exact black SG has his, then I seen SRV live at Austin Nitecllub named Antoine's , changed my life in playing music, he really touched me
Try Seasick Steve really old guy whose from the U.S. and got " discovered " in his 70's, but broke out on the U.K.'s Jules Holland show with just his beat up guitar ( missing strings ) ripped jeans work boots, baseball cap missing teeth and beard and homemade stomp box. The song BACK IN THE DOGHOUSE live on New Years Eve!! Crowd went BALISTIC 🔥🔥🔥! He just got better from there and he's alway's amazing live !
So cool you did a reaction to this. My fiancé lives in Ukraine, we skype once a week. She wants me to play for her and this is her favorite. I almost always put this exact video on to play for her and just sort of play along with Coleman, adding blues riffs in between his. I let Coleman do the singing, if you heard me sing you would understand why, lol. My fiancé Elena loves this song when I play along with it. Simple 12 bar blues in C-minor and not technically complicated. Playng sweet blues is all about the feel, touch, and tone with a lot of improvisation. Coleman's feel and tone here is just incredible. Sweet sound. By the way, since you like this, you would also like Buddy Guy, "Blues at my Baby's House." About 7 and a half minutes I think... video easy to find here on RUclips.
The song has been a staple of Stevie Ray Vaughan since he Started playing you’ve got to hear his version you have got to hear him play this tune!!!!!!!!!
If you're looking at some vintage blues stuff, I highly recommend listening to "Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues" by Skip James. The version by Chris Thomas King was featured in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou", but the original by Skip James is a song that ever since the first time I heard it, still haunts me to this day. It's one of those songs that can temporarily take you out of your own body, and put you in a whole other place as a whole other person to have a whole other kind of experience like you've never even imagined before.
My daddy passed away Dec.14, 2021. He loved the blues and his 2 favorites were Lightning Hopkins and Howlin' Wolf. "Smokestack Lightning" would be a good one by Howlin' Wolf. Also, "Woke up This Mornin'" by Lightning Hopkins.
Original was Elmore James, but it has been covered many times by many artists. I first heard George Thorogood’s version, then Stevie Ray Vaughn’s version. Then many other versions since. I would have to say that this is now my favorite version. The amount of emotion he gives you in this song just made my heart swell. It’s so, so good. I’m mostly a metal head, but I discovered the blues when I was about 19 or 20 and I’ve loved it ever since. One of my favorite newcomers is Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. He’s only 23 years old, but his singing and guitar playing sounds like he lived a lifetime.
Originally by Elmore James. This is a good cover by Gary B B Coleman. This song has been covered by many artist. Some are bigger names are B B King, Sony Boy Williamson, Albert King, Earl Hooker, Johnny Walker, Fenton Robinson, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, George Thorogood, Gay Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The thing about blues is it doesn't have to be loud to show so much emotion. I listen to death metal a lot, but when I need to ground myself I turn to blues. ❤ Love your reactions!
SRV's version was released on his last album compiled and intruduced in liner notes by his brother jimmy the album consists of songs recorded by SRV and double trouble but leased on any of his other albums
Gary B B Coleman was a contemporary of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Really underrated blues player, and not well known because of when he came out, other than the blues-rock of SRV, the 80s and early 90s were not well known for blues like this. About 10-15 years after this, Keb Mo led a really great traditional blues revival in the early 2000s. You should check out some Keb Mo if you like this!
As she's been requested numerous times over the span of your channel, would love to see you react to the great Bessie Smith sometime soon. Either 'Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer', 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out' or 'The St. Louis Blues' from the 1929 film of the same name... there's a beautifully restored version of this, I believe it's the only known video of Bessie. There are other songs that other subscribers have requested as well that you might choose from.
Top 5 Blues Artist you should Check out: 1-SRV Studio version of The Sky is crying 2-Joe Bonamassa live video of I’ll play the Blues for you 3-Walter Trout-Reason I’m gone 4-Kenny Wayne Shepherd live video of Done lost your good thing 5- Robert Cray Band Smoking Gun live or studio version. So many great Blues Players to be Named.
I certainly agree that Stormy Monday by the Allman Brothers (Live at Fillmore East version) or Stormy Monday by Eva Cassidy (Blues Alley version) would be on your radar soon.
Eclectic musical tastes, able to enjoy all types of music, is the best/only way to live, in my opinion. Any day of the week, music will hit you differently, the same song, on different days, may/will hit you differently, but whether it is hard or soft, fast or slow, to enjoy the sounds is the best of all worlds. I grew up with an eclectic mix of music and I have learned to love all music from Classical to Metal and beyond. Now, I prefer Heavy Rock/Metal, but I love all of the genres I have heard; not every song, that is ridiculous, even impossible, but every genre. Not heard much rap, outside of Eminem and the few that hit the charts. Not a fan of Gospel type, grew up in a forced Catholic home and quickly turned Atheist, almost anti-theist recently, over the rhetoric I am hearing from some Christian hate groups, because that is what they are. But music is beautiful, whatever the genre, and some days you need a type/genre of music, other days that genre/type will tear you apart; in the middle is 'general' music that you can just listen to and enjoy, no real stirring in either direction, and that middle is different for different people. I have rambled enough; great reaction J, Amber, great song, beautiful. Thank you.
Try Albert King - Matchbox Blues or ZZ Top - Just got back from Baby's. Both are the kind of blues numbers that let you really savor the guitar without being overly flashy.
We used to call this in my day Back in the alley music. Juke Joints and such. Especially Friday and Saturday nights. By the way you should check out the duet of John Lee Hooker and Van Morrison doing It serves me right to suffer. Great Blues tune.
Amber I gotta say, you're stoopid cool and right on with your mention as to how these blues guys play with such emotion. This is the epitomy of chill blues as some call it. Should check out Albert Cummings ,especially the song "Tell It Like It Is". A more rocking' blues tune that has Stevie Ray's backing band Double Trouble on that lp. I was kind of surprised that Jay didn't mention the great steady bass playing also. That rhythm section just kept the foundation of the song so tight.

This was written and recorded by Elmore James in 1959. There have been many artists who have covered it. This is one of the best versions, but the absolute best was done by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I prefer Albert King's version.
Eric Clapton does a pretty good version too.
1959?
These guys knew how to do good music...
George Thorogoods version was my first time hearing it.
They named the album released posthumously for Stevie Ray Vaughan "The Sky Is Crying". It had a version of the song on it. Great album. Every song on that album is a gem. That was the first version of "The Sky Is Crying" I ever heard. A suggestion from that very album "Chitlins con Carne" by SRV. Gorgeous instrumental by Stevie.

Exactly. The blues are about pain of the heart and soul; one cannot hurry pain, one must let it carry you and let it flow past in its own time!
"Our soul needs different things at different times." I didn't even know I needed this today but I just melted into it.
I Agree, I needed this.! Thanks 😊
Excellent choice!! Listen to SRV’s cover of this classic… pure magic!! RSR Family, you’ve done it again!!
Blues where the Musicians and the Singer can really listen to each others Instruments and give each other the Space and Respect they deserve.
Jay and Amber, thank you for opening your hearts and minds to such classic music. I love watching your reaction to music that I grew up with, not only blues but all genres of music. Keep up the good work. ✌😁
She was right when she said the blues take you within yourself.
One of the first blues songs I ever heard. Been in love with the genre ever since.
The key to good blues is the drums and the bass, and this one rocked both.
I think every decade has a great version of this song.
Just so you know Stevie Ray Vaughan also did a cover of this song it is a little faster he also performed it with BB King , Albert King and Albert Collins and Paul Butterfield it is also a good version
Good music takes you anywhere you want to go.
Gary B has such a clean sound and is silky smooth. Great track. Bobby Blue Bland is a great blues singer and Keb Mo is really good. Or John Lee Hooker's 'Boom Boom'
That chilled me out so much. Beautiful.
Eric Claptons "Blues" CD. One disc was Live and the other was studio. He covered this song on that CD. To be fair Stevie Ray Vaughan covered this as well as Jeff Healy, George Thorogood, Albert King, B.B. King etc. etc.
There's a virtuosic restraint to this version that I found utterly compelling. I was hanging onto every note. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Watch the great blues guitar players, the eyes close, the head goes back and suddenly, they are in special place, and they bring us with them, not everyone can go with, you have to have "it". Watching you two, it's obvious, that you have "it".
SRV has a cover of this song that is 🔥
So does George Thorogoode
@@karlsmith2570 I did not know this. Thanks for the heads up.
@@leopresnell8653 George Thorogoode's version is on a live album that he'd did
I had never heard of this artist but I love him and look forward to hearing more from him.👏🏿

All the many blues players have covered this song, this is my favorite by far.
Some great Blues masters: Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Honeyboy Edwards, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson (Eric Clapton's Inspiration) and so many others.
PREACH BROTHER ⚡⚡🔥🔥
If I still lived in Chicago I’d upvote this many times.
A total blues classic of a song, he does it proud. For more blues try Muddy Waters and his Mannish Boy. Muddy was a banger before there was such a thing. Yep, right into you soul. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶
I have a blues suggestion for you... Peter Green. "A Fool No More" He started out in John Mayall and the Bluebreakers in 1966-67. After he left that group (which contained Eric Clapton) he helped found Fleetwood Mac with Mic Fleetwood and left the group in 1970. He originally wrote the song "Black Magic Woman" that was covered by Santana and who made it famous.
Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green's Need Your Love so Bad is a classic
Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac rocks so bluesy with "Oh Well".
I've been a big blues fan for decades, but this artist escaped my notice until now. Very nice, soothing blues.

My very first concert at 15. Trower was awesome.
Man man man
The kind of song you just have to close your eyes and let the music tap into your soul. Beautiful 🎶
Would love to see you all listen to “Still got the blues for you” by Gary Moore. You will not be disappointed!
Yes absolutely 💯!!!!

Really like this…. Makes YOU wait and wait…. Patience…. So smooth. Thanks. Never heard him .
That's it Maaan .... It's where SVR got it ❤️❤️💃💃👏👍👏❤️
The blues had a baby and they called it rock & roll !!
Jay & Amber, I’d recommend bluesman Albert Collins. These are songs from his album Ice Pickin’.
"Master Charge” (lamenting his wife’s use of her credit card);
"Conversation with Collins" (story of his wife’s girls night out/babysitting);
"Honey, Hush! (Talking Woman Blues); "Too Tired"; "When the Welfare Turns Its Back on You".
Another one of those candles, headphones and glass of bourbon melting in ur beanbag chair, kinda songs...Love it, Thanx so much for reaction, Peace
Never heard this before. Amazing tone control!
Love that. This one’s going in my playlist🎯👈
Marc Broussard - "Home" has a lot of soul in it and you'll be surprised who the voice is coming from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For blues, check out some Bobby Bland. One of my favorites: Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City. He also put out two albums with BB King.
Have not heard this before. Absolutely brilliant. Loved it. I can see some licks from here used by Jimmy Page too. I have referred this track onto my guitar playing mates as well.

The song BACK IN THE DOGHOUSE live on New Years Eve!! Crowd went BALISTIC 🔥🔥🔥! He just got better from there and he's alway's amazing live !
I've been playing guitar in a blues band for along time. This is a nice version.

Pra mim é a melhor versão dessa música
Your playing blues, you got my attention. Your right blues is and has to be from the soul😎
Yeah man! Wow. Yeah when we played blues. One guy could play with this FEELING
The unsung hero of this song…. The organ in the background
The sound of life experience.
If you're looking at some vintage blues stuff, I highly recommend listening to "Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues" by Skip James.

I can't believe how much Shine on You Crazy Diamond borrowed from this!
You would absolutely LOVE “Red House “ . The Gary Moore Live version
Great rection... I live in Paris TX and now i have to find his house he grew up in!! ❤
This is what you call " Soul Blues" sadly he died at the young age of 47.
Soul Food!! Indeed

Well some Assam tea & shortbread biscuits and the day melts away
"The blues ain't nothing but a good man feelin' bad." Y'all need to watch the movie "Crossroads." I think you'll get a kick out of it.
The thing about blues is it doesn't have to be loud to show so much emotion. I listen to death metal a lot, but when I need to ground myself I turn to blues. ❤ Love your reactions!
He almost sounds like Ray Charles!!!! WOW!!!!

Really underrated blues player, and not well known because of when he came out, other than the blues-rock of SRV, the 80s and early 90s were not well known for blues like this. About 10-15 years after this, Keb Mo led a really great traditional blues revival in the early 2000s. You should check out some Keb Mo if you like this!
I love this song-so lit.
As she's been requested numerous times over the span of your channel, would love to see you react to the great Bessie Smith sometime soon. Either 'Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer', 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out' or 'The St. Louis Blues' from the 1929 film of the same name... there's a beautifully restored version of this, I believe it's the only known video of Bessie. There are other songs that other subscribers have requested as well that you might choose from.
YES! Bessie Smith was one of the first blues singers to make recordings.
Top 5 Blues Artist you should Check out: 1-SRV Studio version of The Sky is crying 2-Joe Bonamassa live video of I’ll play the Blues for you 3-Walter Trout-Reason I’m gone 4-Kenny Wayne Shepherd live video of Done lost your good thing 5- Robert Cray Band Smoking Gun live or studio version. So many great Blues Players to be Named.
I certainly agree that Stormy Monday by the Allman Brothers (Live at Fillmore East version) or Stormy Monday by Eva Cassidy (Blues Alley version) would be on your radar soon.
In Websters dictionary under the word Blues should be the name of this song and this musicians name... great song loved it
Love this version.
Muddy Waters:
song - "The Blues had a baby and they named it Rock N Roll"
DELEGATIONS * OH HONEY 🍯 you'll both love this amazing and beautiful song with Heart ❤️ and soul.
Favorite blues guitarists - male Gary Clark Jr., female Susan Tedeschi. 😊
That was Fantastic! thank you
You just sent me back to The Green Mill bar on the north side of Chicago. This exact song was on the jukebox.
Eclectic musical tastes, able to enjoy all types of music, is the best/only way to live, in my opinion. Any day of the week, music will hit you differently, the same song, on different days, may/will hit you differently, but whether it is hard or soft, fast or slow, to enjoy the sounds is the best of all worlds. I grew up with an eclectic mix of music and I have learned to love all music from Classical to Metal and beyond. Now, I prefer Heavy Rock/Metal, but I love all of the genres I have heard; not every song, that is ridiculous, even impossible, but every genre. Not heard much rap, outside of Eminem and the few that hit the charts. Not a fan of Gospel type, grew up in a forced Catholic home and quickly turned Atheist, almost anti-theist recently, over the rhetoric I am hearing from some Christian hate groups, because that is what they are. But music is beautiful, whatever the genre, and some days you need a type/genre of music, other days that genre/type will tear you apart; in the middle is 'general' music that you can just listen to and enjoy, no real stirring in either direction, and that middle is different for different people. I have rambled enough; great reaction J, Amber, great song, beautiful. Thank you.
Cool. You might like "Jones, Oh, Jones" by Blind Blake Higgs. I think he first sang it in the 1950s in The Bahamas :)
Great choice. A blues standard. Buddy Guy does a heavier version that is great also.
“Still Got The Blues” by Gary Moore, and particularly the live version… If you know…, then you know.
Love it so smooth
The drumming was played in the standard 12 bar blues
Love this original version! SRV does a great version of this that's worth listening to!
Try Albert King - Matchbox Blues or ZZ Top - Just got back from Baby's. Both are the kind of blues numbers that let you really savor the guitar without being overly flashy.
We used to call this in my day Back in the alley music. Juke Joints and such. Especially Friday and Saturday nights. By the way you should check out the duet of John Lee Hooker and Van Morrison doing It serves me right to suffer. Great Blues tune.
Amber I gotta say, you're stoopid cool and right on with your mention as to how these blues guys play with such emotion. This is the epitomy of chill blues as some call it. Should check out Albert Cummings ,especially the song "Tell It Like It Is". A more rocking' blues tune that has Stevie Ray's backing band Double Trouble on that lp. I was kind of surprised that Jay didn't mention the great steady bass playing also. That rhythm section just kept the foundation of the song so tight.
Fill my glass and light my cigar.
