I met him in the 90s. He liked the Rolling Stones but didnt care for Jimi Hendrix. Said the shit he did wasnt real blues.

I just heard that the drummer in this video, Charles Honeyboy Otis, died last August. I played with him in a band in the 90's (Lisa Best Blues Band). He was a really nice person as well as a brilliant musician. Played on many great recordings from the late 50's on. He is definitely missed.

I love Paul ...
I love Paul Butterfield's music as much as anyone. But the idea that Carey Bell was copying from Paul Butterfield is a reach.

@casu3 So you're ...
@casu3 So you're telling me that Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Campbell, Eric Clapton and many other GREAT blues musicians were impostors because they weren't black? Yes, the Blues style music did originate from African-American communities. But it was the influence of the blues that made ALL blues musicians great. Not the color of their skin.

I had the honor and ...
I had the honor and pleasure of opening for Carey as well as spending an afternoon together in 1997. He was a gracious and humble man. Carey had beautiful tone live-the upper registers had a flute like quality and the lower registers growled-this owing in large part to the way his rig was set up. A good man gone-I will miss him.

Blues is certainly ...
Blues is certainly a black invention, but blues wouldn't have existed without white people. Blues is based in basic European music theory. I - IV - V. I don't know of any African tribes that where jamming with triadic harmony. The fact is that it took both white people and black people to bring us this great form of art. Now shut the fuck up.

@casu3 SRV is white ...
@casu3 SRV is white and is arguably the greatest blues guitarist ever. But you would never hear him make that claim, he was always very appreciative of the blues men before him, they created the blues, he made it more popular to white people. Trust me white people can feel the blues, not just imitate black people. Don't hate, appreciate!

A million thanks ...
A million thanks for this amazing tune!!! I had the great honour to play with Carey, Lovie Lee and Red a couple of tours in the 80s. With Carey a great musician passed away, I still miss him . . .

blues may have once been "black" music but from it has sprung most western popular branches of music. it is now a universal language spoken by a lot of people from many corners of the world. come top clarksdale mississippi and helena arkansas and touch the roots. you may get an epiphany.

@kabacco81 so what....? I thought blues isn't about just composing a 12-bar-rythm, but giving your soul performing... Am I wrong?
