For a very long time I've reckoned Tuba Skinny to be easily the best band playing this kind of music anywhere. Keep you a-goin' on. Terrific! Black Jake of Norwich, England.
I discovered this song when Elmore James recorded it in 1958---in more recent years I've found that it's older than I am, and that there are many excellent versions.
What I noticed in this piece by Tuba Skinny: Todd Burdick has become ever more assertive (and creative) with his Sousaphone. He now contributes significantly to the particular "Tuba Skinny Sound", more so than in previous years. This band is still getting better and now occupies a special place in music heaven...
Thank you John for the wonderful background info about Tampa Red and this wonderful rendition of "It Hurts Me Too," with Greg on the vocals! 5 STARS! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Most of all, everyone usually talks about Shaye, and she deserves it. But since this thread started talking about others, I'd like to say a few words about Craig. His improvisations are incredible and always different, even for the same song, and I'm not talking about notes, more precisely, not only about notes (because it is clear that improvisation is improvisation), but about the manner and mood. His solos are sometimes ironic and eccentric, sometimes very 'simple' and lyrical, sometimes very complicated virtuosic and philosophical or reminiscent of modern jazz, and so on. Each time it is difficult to guess what his wise commentary to the melody being performed will be. I noticed a while ago that when I listen to a new piece by TS, I always expect to hear what Craig is going to 'tell' this time. And his Minor Fret is one of my favorite original compositions of the band. For comparison, I’d suggest listening to Craig's "Wigwam Bendix" (1998) (available on RUclips) to discover his experimental jazz composing and playing.
Each of you are very good and you know it, but I’d also like some solo time for Robin Rapuzzi playing red hot on his smoking wash board! A tomato can rag would do the job that I long for! Thanks!
The jazz these kids produce is beyond sensational, and I ought to know. I've been listening to Dixie land for 82 years. But why do they all, excepting Shaye, have to look like they get their clothes and shoes from Goodwill? Jazzmen from the 1930s and 1940s would have been ashamed to dress like that.
I first heard this from Elmore James, recorded when Eric Clapton was in short trousers. Later I heard the original Tampa Red version recorded before Eric Clapton was born. This version is wonderful and retains the essence of the original blues. At least Tuba Skinny know where this song came from.
@@williamfagan7835, Ken Mo and Junior Wells are among the many artists who covered this song. I've enjoyed all the ones I've heard so far. No two are the same.
This song makes me want to shuffle down to the corner newsstand for an evening paper and an ice cream bar! Fantastic, Tuba Skinny!
So great to see the whole band back together on the road. They just get better and better. A national treasure this band is.
Each piece of pie is very important to the whole they compliment one another so well,Tuba Skinny...Outstanding.!!!
Totally agreed, exactly as you've said. Thanks Michael.

Un groupe toujours aussi remarquable dont on ne se lasse pas !

Yeah!
Excellente!
Great Gang
GG-Genial Gregory!
The first time I heard this song was back in the 70s. By the rock band Foghat.
Botero sexy,la cantante,...
Аккомпанемент на коленках у Неё тоже классно получается.

Good version of the song, but it's a little slow for my taste. I prefer Eric Clapton's version, myself.
I just listened to Eric Clapton, and his version is actually a lot slower than this one!
Eric' s tempo is more or less the same. But .... he uses another BEAT 6/8!
