I learnt this song(amongst others) after watching Martin Scorceses Blues Documentaries. GO GET IT!!!!!! I can see a shift in certain genres going back to their roots... whether it works or not isnt the point... people are getting sick of all this manufactured bs Just thought id put my 10 cents worth in and am happy there are others out there who dig this stuff as much as i do Long Live The Blues(coming from a 26 y/o white boy from Perth Western Australia!) hahaha
i got that same guitar for free and learned it was a good blues guitar and that so many good musicians want and/or have it and it is a damn good guitar for blues
My kids are of the rap generation and we've debated it's validity for years. My point has always been that like any other genre rap needs to produce a widely acclaimed masterpiece to become a mature form of expression.....and part of the legacy of black music in America......still waiting...
this guy should be selling records like no shit.what happened to people making music like this.kids today either like listening about bees and hoes or just plain loud noise.now this i can hear not just listen to.great song alvin.
I agree with you on your last statement "you miss out when you listen to one kind of music. But to me rap has no redeeming qualities unless your into head banging nonsense........
Country blues weren't considered "real music" on the 20s and 30s either....and the singers called themselves songsters and musicianeers...rather than blues singers. Record companies turned the blues into a genre in much the same way they influenced rap. Just like Skip James' "Illinois Blues" survives for us to learn and play....the better rap stuff will survive as a record of these times.....Check out Elijah Wald's book on Robert Johnson...
@samwise862 Yeah man, I totally agree. But Tupac and his contemporaries were something awesome, those rappers are very rare these days. Most of today "rap scene" is just engineered, no real talent or skill. Just put enough naked women in their videos and it's done. It's an industry (even they call it that - music industry). We need real talents doing all kinds of music. Looks or money should not be determining the success of someone as a musician or rapper, but their skills. No skill - no rap.

yes, yes, yes......Skip James played for his community and not record sales for an international corporation. Music as "product" sucks...
It's so hard to find this song! Beautifully done!
so thankful for Andrew and his music interests 🥺😌🥰💕
a master at work
Sweet job Alvin--Illinois welcomes you! I hope to hear you around here soon!
B-Squared
Skips original recording is a masterpiece
If you ever get a chance to see this guy play live, definately don't hesitate, he is amazing!
That's some moving stuff man! Loves the Alvin, he is the real McCoy!
i got that same guitar for free and learned it was a good blues guitar and that so many good musicians want and/or have it and it is a damn good guitar for blues
Time stopped during 5 minutes and 22 seconds, awesomely hypnotic and inspiring performance...
This is outstandingly beautiful and people need to get that.
Awesome song..... I immediately have to think of cornfields and lonesome country roads on sunny summer days.
This song gives me shivers ... i love it.
@fatcatbuzz
so true man, in this video you can see how vital the black soul is.
Great player and performer...!!!
So incredible.
this guy absolutely kills this! I hope you realize he is improvising while singing, in Dsus4 tuning!
Killer bro!!!!! Omgosh I loved that!
that was pretty damn awesome.
It was at a Skip James tribute show.I think he's aware who wrote that song

Not bad he should have kept his steel tricone National for that one.

Perhaps all those white guys making tons of money off of their music discouraged them?
