Man, if he did an album of blues covers, tampa red, huddie, Robert Johnson, son house, John lee hooker, Charlie patton, blind Willie mctell, etc, I would buy it, and wear it down to threads. I love his voice
Yeah he’s not a black man from the south but honestly this right here is the benchmark version of this song for me personally. Stoneking is absolutely amazing and makes me proud be say he’s Australian. This whole album is pure raw blues
Unfortunately most of us will never get to hear this album in full. But yeah, this here cover version is fricken great. Try his version of "Seven Nation Army" and "Dry Spell Blues", they too are available here on yt and are equally stunning.
@@elwray3506 I’ve had this album for about 15 years on an old hard drive. I need to find it and upload it. I’ve got the one he did before it too with the blue tits I think they were called
I'm just now getting into Stoneking's work but DAMN, his vocal inflection ties so well into the original recording but somehow he still manages to make it his own.
Very first time seeing this song and am happy to have something to listen to while my company yells and tries to blame me for as many things they can then disapear
What a great gig it was, you could tell he was a little surprised by the reacton - personally i've only ever seen him before in small dives in Manchester...which is also great but he deserves better by now!
I'm afraid it was only ever released on cd and that is very hard to find. the title of the album is "Mississippi & Piedmont Blues 1927-41" and to be honest is stunning all the way through. here are a small selection of songs from the album to listen to hassle free - grooveshark.com/#!/album/Mississippi+and+Piedmont+Blues+1/3274926 - the actual album was about 13/14 from what i remember.
Great singer. I hope he'll release a new album some day.

He did, it's just put of print and impossible to get. This is off it.
I have a copy. I need to upload it. And the blue tits album

@@blackadder8691 Yeah, C.W. Stoneking and The Blue Tits. Man, If you could actually do this I´d be forever in your debt.

Wonderful!

This one is better, great work
This track is something else.
Thank you! It is genius, the whole cd is. Just saw him in London a week ago, as usual, stunning.
+cruiserscreek I was in London too! I was the one who yelled and then they played "Mama Got The Blues!"

Voice of a long time lingering ache in my pinched rear...
Anyone know I can get my hands on copy of this record?
