Larry Jon Wilson, getting it right way before it was cool to do country funk..! Sounds a bit like polk salad annie, taken from the dvd Heartworn Highways
This man was a very good friend of mine! I met him via my grandfather in the late 1990s. Larry John I have your autograph, I have your blessings but, it will never fill the void! God bless you brother and I love you to this day.
This is why I love Spotify. Townes Van Zandt fan, then discover Heartworn Highways then I decide to play the whole soundtrack. This song, Elijah’s Church and Bluebird wine are so good!
@@TheGorillafoot it gives us younger folk a chance to be introduced to new music, and if we like it then we buy that specific record. So it's not all in vain
You are so right. Hate to say it, but at 58 years of age I had never heard Drive By Truckers or James McMurtry or even John Hiatt. I was stuck in a '70s classic rock bubble. Don't get me wrong ... still love the music I grew up with, but I thought I would never hear anything that turned me on again for the rest of my life. I was wrong.
Very few could keep up with his playing style, only other one I've seen do it is his son. Bertran Tyler Wilson. Love watching both them play. Fixing to head to his sons house today
I was thinking the exact same thing. This version is amazing so not really feeling the album version so much. Sounds to over produced and the backup singers makes is sound kinda dated. Like it belongs in a Garfield cartoon. It's not terrible, just doesn't have the vibe that makes this so good.
Jine 21, 2010...a huge loss to the world of music. We lost Larry Jon. Condolences to his family and friends, thank goodness for the few precious gems of albums he left those of us fortunate to be acquainted with his gift and talent.
He is so genuinely tickled about the harmonica playing. I love this dude so much. Love the drums. So tight. All of the musicians are, but the drums are just so tight.
THE SOUND ENGINEERING ON THIS VIDEO IS A TRUE MASTERPIECE. MAN THAT SOUNDS GOOOOOOD....AND I'M FROM NEW YORK CITY AND I THINK THIS IS JUST PURE GOLD. BETWEEN THE LARRY JON WILSON'S GUITAR PLAYING AND THE BOYS THIS WELL MIXED SOUND IN STEREO NOT LIKE TODAYS COMPRESSED MUSIC IT'S PURE MAGIC. I WROTE THIS ENTIRE COMMENT IN CAPITAL LETTERS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE HOW IMPRESSED I AM WITH THIS VIDEO. SORRY FOR THE VERBAL LOUDNESS ASPECT OF THIS COMMENT. SINCERELY, RON BURGUNDY (NEWS ANCHOR)
I just finished reading an interview with Szalapski (Heartworn Highways director). He said he'd discovered this song on a LJW album and wanted Larry Jon to demonstrate how a song was recorded. They found a couple of friends and local session players to record this, so this is more of a reworking of a previously released song.
This guy was great, I was really sad when I found him a few years ago and learned he had already passed.... I would have loved to have known him and played some music with him...
Hey guys, that is at Creative Workshop in Nashville, TN. The first studio in the famous Berry Hill area of town that now is home to places like Blackbird Studios. Creative hasn't changed one bit since that recording in 1976 (except sadly no more green carpet... hardwoods now.
Thanks for this. I found it about 7 years ago and keep coming back. I saw the movie (Heartworn Highways) many years ago and this track and session stuck out.
Tonights Internet Information Vortex: Austin City Limits/Steve Earle > Research on Townes Van Zandt > The Documentary Heartworn Highways > This Song... My god, what an awesome, awesome song and what a fantastic artist... Consider me a newly minted fan. Diggin' the hell out of this era in country music, hope to discover more guys like LJW. The stuff Nashville puts out today is shit compared to this.
Thanks for posting this AMAZING footage ! they don't cut tracks like this anymore, so cool and professional playing proper session heads in an analog studio.......grooving
Yep....in late June'08 on 1965 records (a UK label)...& apparently he'll do some UK gigs as well. I know that he's doing some festival at Merton Farm, Near Canterbury, Kent, UK sometime this summer....and there is a track from the new album on the internet: "Whore Trilogy", that some DJ got somehow in January!!??....You'll have to search for it, cos I forgot the link but it's great!!!
This is epic. He has oo much soul and presence. His voice kinda reminds me of Mr Lou Rawls. I wish I had a voice like that. I like this version better than the album.
@LandonInFlorida dont feel to bad hoss,i been trying to figure it out for about 4 years,the way he clawhooks with his right hand is just impossible,i come close but i can never get it just right.also R.I.P Larry jon.georgia lost a great son and the world lost a great musician.
idk how this fella escaped me for so long. This documentary reminded me of another I saw; can't remember the name of it or the name of the guy is was about for that matter. Hoping someone could tell me. He was an Oklahoma man, wore a top hat, long dark hair turning silver. Played bluesy rock n roll. It's a vague memory I know.
This man was a very good friend of mine! I met him via my grandfather in the late 1990s. Larry John I have your autograph, I have your blessings but, it will never fill the void! God bless you brother and I love you to this day.
I am sorry for your loss, sir. It hurts enough for those of us that never met the man.
Just stumbled on his music. Good stuff.
This is why I love Spotify. Townes Van Zandt fan, then discover Heartworn Highways then I decide to play the whole soundtrack. This song, Elijah’s Church and Bluebird wine are so good!
Spotify does nothing but fuck the artist. Just buy the album or song and download it

LA Freeway too!

Don't get me wrong ... still love the music I grew up with, but I thought I would never hear anything that turned me on again for the rest of my life. I was wrong.
this man is an amazing musician who was unfortunately overlooked I've been listening to his music since the age of about 4
And an even more amazing writer
Me too. Amazing voice and music. I appreciated it more as I got older, but loved it as a little kid.
Wish they would've kept this version on the album. "It's not a lick song, it's a groove song"
Yes and that explained it all.the man put on a clinic👍👊~Duane Colbert~

@@lesterwilliams1116 that’s really cool! If he plays like his dad I’d love to hear him…
I love this video. His facial expressions are priceless. Truly a person who's fully stoked on what their doing and the end result is brilliant.
Yes !
Everyone there seems to be on the same page . This film pulls you right in there with them .
Startin to feel like I was there 😀
Again, who would 'thumbs DOWN' this?
Prolly someone from Salt Lake City ;)
RIP Larry, you are missed.
The guitarist playing electric..... lol

Heartworn Highways: is where country Music SHOULD ALWAYS BE!
I remember 1985 Larry John in my living room in Nashville...cherish the memories!
Larry Jon passed same month my best friend that played FB Randy Robertson. Maybe someone remembers RIP
Larry died on Monday and I feel priviledged to have seen him play a couple of times. Legend.
And his country ass threw in some Lightnin' Hopkins. Hell yea.
He is so genuinely tickled about the harmonica playing. I love this dude so much. Love the drums. So tight. All of the musicians are, but the drums are just so tight.
TRUE MASTERPIECE what a ridiculous amount of talented art !!
Still listening in Canoochee Georgia
AMAZING!
This is just insane.
So great.
His style with the tap and hook strum is sick.
I'm lovin' the descending lead licks too.
This guy is a f#%€in legend. Smokin heaters in the studio and just winging that shit.
Man he was feeling that harmonica
R.I.P Larry Jon,thanks for the great music,he NEVER compromised himself or his music.

I agree exactly.great sound and the man knows his stuff and what he wants and how to explain it.iam impressed too.dudes a musician~Duane Colbert~
That’s the very first Sphere console, or so I’ve been told.
So incredible.
Musicians in other locales can make and produce classic cuts!
R.I.P. Larry Jon. You WILL be missed. What a voice.
"Oh, Hell yeah." If that isn't engraved on Larry Jon's headstone, it sure as hell should be.
Thanks Brent Cobb for letting me know about this long forgotten and under appreciated artist.
Frank Wolf Brent Cobb has some awesome songs
he's so pleased with the harmonica, good shit.
Damn this guy kmows his shit.that was good~Duane Colbert~
This is awesome Larry Jon is seriously dusty
This is so funky I love it. They should have used this mix instead of the final album mix which was watered down and they may have had a hit.
Exactly, sadly they over produced it and added all that background singer harmony. Great song though and such a great voice.

@@absolutelynonameslef No kidding?!?!? I had no idea!! Thanks for the info!!!
This blows me away every time I hear it. i hope to somehow get lucky enough to find his lps on monument w/o paying a small fortune.
I found a mint copy once , sold it on ebay then saw heartworn highways and was like “i made a mistake” true story
This is music, this whole thing is masterful.
Still good.
A lot of great things have happened in this country. We should celebrate that.
Now I know who Larry Jon Wilson is my life is complete. .......deadly
greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for this gem
This is just a gem.
I wish the released version was like this.
great song
This was great in heartworn highways.
What is crazy is he looks like he is in his late 40's or early 50's. He is only 35 in this video.
35??? no effin way?!?!?!?
@@teropikkarainen1724 Truth tho.
This guy was great, I was really sad when I found him a few years ago and learned he had already passed.... I would have loved to have known him and played some music with him...
Love that intro....fantastic!
Hey guys, that is at Creative Workshop in Nashville, TN. The first studio in the famous Berry Hill area of town that now is home to places like Blackbird Studios.
Creative hasn't changed one bit since that recording in 1976 (except sadly no more green carpet... hardwoods now.
Larry's reaction at 6:38 says it all.
Love this song & documentary.
love watching the process..
wow. i love this. makes me wanna pick up my bass
Just wondering if you picked up that bass.
Thanks for this. I found it about 7 years ago and keep coming back. I saw the movie (Heartworn Highways) many years ago and this track and session stuck out.
Larry john was great breakfast host and cook
Just discovered him,but I gotta hear more.
Nurse Ratched holding it down behind the mixer
I miss you.
"Oh hell yeah"!! oh hell yeah alright!!!
Rest in Peace L.J.
PURE SOUL.

"It was good but I think that's where the groove belongs"
Tell him brother
Right? I mean, damn. He just knew where that groove lived. That is special shit. Sturgill has that.
RIP Larry.
rip larry youll be missed
Never heard anyone try to cover this....

Larry’s face at 6.39 👌🙌
Ahh hell yeah
Ya'll wanna run one.
RIP Larry Jon.
Nice, Miss you.
Wow !

So good
@RoofFiddler true dat.
This is epic. He has oo much soul and presence. His voice kinda reminds me of Mr Lou Rawls. I wish I had a voice like that. I like this version better than the album.
@ih8thishit The studio is Creative Workshop in Nashville. Still looks the same.

The man behindert the desk, Robbie Robertson? Trucky.
What's name of the bass/harmonica player?
I would love to have ham and hoecakes for breakfast just one more time what a great video
I think it’s a whole cake. It’s a large biscuit.
@@jimmym6971 You are, technically, correct. But in the southern vernacular, it is most definitely a ho cake. But, we are splitting hairs.

I think so..
does anyone know the chords he's playing?
man anyone point a brother in the way of chords for this song i cant find them anywhere
@LandonInFlorida I haven't tried this, but it looks like he's using his thumb and the back of his fingers (nails). But I'm sure you've tried that....
Anyone know the name of the bassist/harmonica player? Awesome stuff
song starts at 5:50
Why is this so unknown?....
whats the lightning hopkins song he plays at 4:45?
who is the bassist/harmonica-player?
