Much love to you two! I'm moving into my father's house he left to me as he passed on at 98. Left me a pretty nice house and 2 really cool German cars. I'm 72 right now and my wife of 47 years can not live with me because she has Alzheimer's. It makes it kinda hard, it's just me and Deuce the Labrador Retriever. Mr Whitlock you keep doing everything you do,it is just a delight to hear you talk about your heritage and past musical history, as well as the great new things that you are involved in today. I get such a kick out of hearing you, you make my day many, many times over!
I have the urge to speak out and say how much I love your voice Bobby. I'm 69 this year and I started playing music in 1965. The first time I heard your voice was when you were with D&B. Then came the Layla album. Without you that album would not have the kick it does. In other words you make it what it is. You were all amazing on that project but your soulful vocal work and writing are beyond reproach. You've brought tears to my eyes hearing some of your vocal performances. Jamonn Zeiler
In a world where everyone is looking for a quick buck it’s refreshing to see Bobby creating art for art’s sake. Bobby isn’t defined by how much money he makes from his work. His art is free of ego and is a reflection of his spirit. This applies to his music as well. Bobby focuses on creating first and lets the money follow up instead of having money as the primary goal. That is how a real artist behaves.
I don't think the point of the question was in increasing profits or snatching a quick buck, but rather for those who would love to own a piece of his art, but simply can’t afford the original. In any case, I can still completely understand and respect why he doesn't do that.
Here's an idea. How about Bobby editing a book of his paintings (each reduced to postcard size) and give his fans and admirers a visual treat to enjoy?
Bobby is STILL right about All Things Must Pass. A friend played it at an event in his production room. He said it sounded like piss through a drainage grate. Never heard that phrase before, but I dig it.
Bobby and CoCo, you guys are such a joy to listen to, regardless of whether you're talking about music or art or just your general life experiences...you make me feel like I'm just sitting in your living room, hanging out, and enjoying great friendship and fellowship. Thanks so much...
Here's a question for you. I saw Blind Faith in Honolulu....their last stop on their only tour. Can't remember if the opening act was D&B or a local group. Can't find any info on the Internet about it. Maybe you can help. Great concert! Ric Grech, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were outstanding of course but was really impressed with Steve Winwood. Wrote, arranged & sang most of the songs. On the extended dual guitar solo on "Had to Cry Today " he held his own with Clapton.
God bless you two. I love the channel . I love the content and art. It's such a portal into the past and a era and moment in time that I love to remember and return too. Keep up the great work. Hope to see you live soon. Thx for the integrity and the history!!!!! 👍🎸👍
Bought your book Bobby, on Amazon a year ago after learning of it here on your channel. It was a wonderful read, full of emotional, intimate moments. Loved it. Always fun to hear your discussions. Keep em' coming! ❤️
That shirt is a work of art, just like the paintings, and just like the fella wearing it! Thanks for the videos! It's always nice to hear a few stories, old and new! I applaud the decision against printing your artwork, that painting is part of the moment, printing copies just sounds wrong.
Ah Bobby it's a wonderful thing to listen to a man who will not compromise his integrity for commercial gain. Art - whatever form it is - comes from the heart.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question about lithographs; I understand why you aren’t making them available. Looking forward to hearing more stories about your lives.
Your phone should be ringing off the wall or out of your pocket! I don’t know what keeps people like Mr Trucks , brilliant, from calling! Love and blessings, Roctor
Great to see and hear a new video! I have been binge watching your videos-my husband is older than me so I’m learning more about the music and musicians that have inspired him over the years. Jumping back to music-I was really hoping you would share a little something about Billy Preston! Also, do you believe he actually wrote, “My Sweet Lord” or other Beatle hits?! Also, I read somewhere that the Edwin Hawkins singers sang back up on this song-am I remembering accurately? I never hear anything about them, but I know they were in Europe from the Scandinavian clips. Your paintings are wonderful! Have you ever ventured to the great music store in Lansing , MI? I know, lots of questions!!!
I would pay any amount of money to see Bobby chatting with GE Smith, about anything; about music, life... Whatever. Two amazing storytellers. Coco, has Bobby ever met G. E.?
Any new posts from Bobby? Today is 11/17 /22 I haven't heard anything since This Aug/ 22 . New music release ect . Many fans are music oriented,I appreciate the Art,but music is my driving force hope to hear more from Bobby on the music side! Thanks Cary from Indiana!!
I've heard Bobby talkin' about a lot of artists and their works and he makes a wonderful insight. But what I'd really love to hear him talkin' about is his solo albuns, especially One Of A Kind and Rock Your Sox-Off. Even in his book there is very little information concerning the making of those great albuns.
Bobby, do you have any stories about Big Star, Alex Chilton or Sid Selvige while in Memphis or around Stax? Glad you two are enjoying yourselves and having such success! Love!
The inner voice on your art is definitely the Spirit - pardon me for injecting that powerful name into your space - but, you will sell paintings for awhile as a professional artist/artiste and then at some point you will probably sell prints as well. That is the way artists work. In my home we have several prints, and several original paintings; however, it is years after the original has been sold before a print is then made. Obviously the print is made prior to sale, but no print is sold until the artist or the artist’s carriers decide the prints can now be sold - because the original is owned by one person. I understand the question and I understand your heart’s position. Merely focus on what God gives you. And as CoCo said, “thank you.“🎸👨🏼⚕️🏴🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🏴
Seems like lithograph or print would be up to the owner like you said Bobby , for instance the owner of H&R Bloch Henry Bloch here in K.C had a modest home but had art collection worth enough to buy an island to say the least that security became a risk so he had prints professionally made to display in his home then he let Nelson Atkins museum display the originals . On another note I’m watching Elvis that’s the way it is with James burton playing guitar one of my fav players , he falls into place with duck Dunn ,Bobby Whitlock as my all time fav cool cats ! Kinda havin flashbacks of visiting Beale street in my 20s man that place was sketchy after dark . Anyways thanks CoCo & Bobby im having a perfect morning and youguys are a big part of it , thanks again Scotty Kansas City
Just a quick question......Do you remember Mud Boy and the Neutrons.....Jim Dickinson,Sid Selvidge,Lee Baker and Jimmy Crosthwait(the puppetier)........Thnanks
I was just listening to D&B's Motel Shot album (great album!)....any interesting stories from those recording sessions?? I hear Joe Cocker on a few tracks...was that done after Mad Dogs & Englishmen??? I assumed D&B were probably not too happy with Joe and that tour since it took most of their band..
I love you people, you are so down home. It is tho we are invited to have coffee with you. Thank you for being authenic and personable. How refreshing ! Lovely sharing of your Art and careers. I am happy for you Bobby and CoCo. :-)
CoCo, you still havent asked Bobby about Big Star/Alex Chilton/Chris Bell at Ardent‽ Also anything about the recently departed John King too would be good.. lastly, I noticed Bobby's tattoos in the last video... whats he got? they looked great from what I could see!!.. peace and love to you both! X
Enjoying your book, Bobby, but have to disagree with you that Jim Gordon was "replaceable." Can you shed any light on Gordon's great song "Devil Road." Is that EC on guitar? Thanks.
Bobby, I met you at your house, the house I grew up in. Do you remember me? That was my Grandmother‘a house.you and I talked there in the entrance hall. The stained glass window above stairs.
artistic integrity. thats what he means i think. he is not of the belief his art should be on coffee cups and numbered prints and all that jazz. its demeaning to him for it to be that way. no way. i understand.
art needs to be exibited and not owned. buying and selling art as a job removes the real beauty of art. i have a hobby that i love. i can do my hobbie and sell it to others but it then becomes work. i know this because i did it once for money. never again. i give it away sometimes but never sell. the d and the d. version od little wing live makes me cry. it is so good. take care and pass the coffee,
I have a question for next time. Did Bobby sing baritone and tenor in the harmonies on the Layla album? I know he and Eric wanted to sing the vocals like Sam and Dave, but their harmonies blend so well, I cant tell if Eric is singing lead with Bobby on baritone and then Bobby overdubbing a tenor vocal, or it's purely a two part harmony.
Hi, Bobby & CoCo. I'd like to invite you to be guests on my show FRIAR PARK FRIDAY. I think a lot of people would enjoy your memories of GH's gardens. etc. You can easily email me from the About page on my channel. Chris O'Dell can also give you my contact info. Thanks!

Your arrangement of “Layla” just crushes it! Very impressive. ✌️😎🎶

We've considered it.. it's a great idea

Hi CoCo and Bobby, Roll it Over? Any story behind the lyrics? Thanks...In concert version in standard tuning?
Thank you both... Very enjoyable !

Good Morning Mr. Bobby and Mrs Coco. Thanks for the chuckles.
Bought your book Bobby, on Amazon a year ago after learning of it here on your channel. It was a wonderful read, full of emotional, intimate moments. Loved it. Always fun to hear your discussions. Keep em' coming! ❤️
Bobby git on the horn and tell EC to release those Domino traps. Best band to have recorded in the early 70's. Layla is my #1 LP .🖤🖤🖤
I hope you can persuade team Clapton to release those Derek and the Dominos live tracks.
That shirt is a work of art, just like the paintings, and just like the fella wearing it!
Thanks for the videos! It's always nice to hear a few stories, old and new!
I applaud the decision against printing your artwork, that painting is part of the moment, printing copies just sounds wrong.
What's the amp below the beautiful painting? Also were you there the night Jimi Hendrix played w/D & B?
Ah Bobby it's a wonderful thing to listen to a man who will not compromise his integrity for commercial gain. Art - whatever form it is - comes from the heart.
The greatest reward is making a piece of art...whatever it is, and Bobby does give that attitude a lot of credence.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question about lithographs; I understand why you aren’t making them available. Looking forward to hearing more stories about your lives.
Bobby, I probably can't afford one of your beautiful paintings but I would pay a pretty penny for that shirt!
Thanks for the update. Much love!
Hope the dominoes stuff comes to light

Your art is lovely and peaceful to me... thank you for sharing your spirit. 🧜♀️
Bobby's paintings are so beautiful and full of life!

Talk about background vocals. Especially on "Bottle of Red Wine." You are badass. Did you actually double Clapton's lead vocals at times?
Bobby, do you have any stories about Big Star, Alex Chilton or Sid Selvige while in Memphis or around Stax? Glad you two are enjoying yourselves and having such success! Love!
I respect your integrity. No merch!
In his entire life, Van Gogh sold just one painting, so selling half a dozen is doing pretty good.... 😊

Hello, When are you planning on releasing your new music? Thank you.
When the time is right and the stars are aligned, when we're told to.
Mr. Whitlock, did I hear correctly that you do not read music? How then does you play? Seems amazing! -tim :)
I just found you guys .Bobby, did you ever spend anytime recording or hanging out in Muscle shoals with Rick Hall, or Jimmy and the swampers !
You guys rock !

Motel Shot is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Everybody had already left D&B... way before Mad Dogs
Was motel shot coming hot on the heels of that cult movie vanishing point where they appeared?

Bobby, I met you at your house, the house I grew up in. Do you remember me? That was my Grandmother‘a house.you and I talked there in the entrance hall. The stained glass window above stairs.
I would be honored to talk to you again and please sign one of my guitar. 1966 Gibson J-50. Bought down in Alpine.
On your answer on your paintings I want to buy one but I don't know if you still have it the one that reminds me of Layla what would that cost me ?
50k
Ok.thank.you I would have waited until the end of interview hot your art website
Question - will you list the information for current and upcoming exhibitions here for quick reference? Thanks
Yes, thank you

You never know..

I'm trying... CoCo
