Le Blues sera toujours la meilleure musique du monde !!!!!!

This may be the catchiest blues song in history

No need for a whole band, with a billion dollars invested in production, stage, etc. Just one person, with a guitar, and a whole lotta soul.

We'll look back at 2021 the same way - when it was just a single politician vaccinating live on stage, with a syringe. (In 2040 will be big business, highly choreographed events).

When it was all about the music and musicians worked at an individual sound. That's why people have such trouble replicating it today. Even the guitars had their own unique sound and look! Bukka was a giant physically and artistically!

His gravelly vibrato is one of the spookiest things in Blues music

Never again. They were a product of their time. Playing aside, even voices, and accents such as this are lost now.. guys like this grew up learning to talk around people who were probably slaves on plantations and talked totally different to we do today.. small, isolated communities with now TV to influence our voice development. That unique gravel tone. Like even how he pronounced his name Booker "Bukka". Treasure stuff like this. It's audio gold. Even when this was recorded it was sounds of the past. This was in '67 but in reality it's more like '27 or '37. We are so lucky to have these later recordings of the old bluesmen with even semi decent quality before they were all gone. Just think how much is lost, legends who were never recorded. Some would disagree but this kind of resonator stuff to me is pure definitive delta sound. Even more so than the likes of RJ.

Booker T. Washington White, conocido en el blues como Bukka White (Aberdeen, Misisipi, 12 de noviembre de 1906-Memphis, Tennessee, 26 de febrero de 1977) fue un guitarrista, famoso por su estilo slide guitar,[1]​ compositor, pianista y cantante de blues. Su grabación de «Fixin' to die» (1940) fue incorporada al Grammy Hall of Fame en 2012.
