Aren't you the guy that once told a reporter, when he asked one of those boiler plate questions about dealing with grind of touring 50 weeks a year, or whatever, "It's a little like asking what it feels like to be the first guy on the moon," or something along those lines? It might have been on "60 Minutes"; I was in high school, also a lifetime ago. Cheers - this clip and your comment here are beautiful!

Joe Williams could have sung the phone book, starting with the A's, and I'd have listened to every page. That's the kind of soul the singer doesn't even think about. Beautiful.

Tony C So true. It's so sad to see that you can have very little talent and still be more popular than people who have lots of talent. Autotune has killed popular music :(

+Tony C Thats not true, they just aren't popular, or rarely get a chance, to show their skill to the wide public. But people are always the same any time. Some are good, and some are bad, there are lots of talents around the world. And today there are so many different styles, so maybe you looking in the wrong places? I swear you, I saw such an amasing singer yesteday, she just smashed me. She was a university student, as I am. She studies architecture. She was just unforgettable. And I am living in a province town of Russia, not in the capital of the music history. Imagine: just a small province bar, thursday and a jam session.

I agree. I actually likened Joe Williams to that of Screamin' Jay Hawkins (I Put A Spell On You), but much more talented and refined than Hawkins. Williams really was more versatile than he gets credit for. In modern terms, I think Tom Waits is probably more like Screamin' Jay Hawkins with his gimmicks and lack of concern for the status quo. :-)

I don't see it as a just a 1-4-5 or whatever numbers you want to play. The numbers are only on the surface and that is all. Blues is way more than just a number. Ask Muddy Waters,Robert Johnson,T-Bone Walker,Little Walter,Rice Miller, Jimmy Reed,Elmore James &others. Great band in this!
