I FOUND HER 3 DAYS AGO, AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HER. I'M HOOKED LIKE AN ADDICT.

Im a 50 plus guy ,And this dosent happen to me alot anylonger , But ,Damn I love everything about this artist .Youre totally right ! She is a superstar !

Samantha is a SUPERSTAR!!! The best and my all time Favorite. 🎸

Joe is such a musical gift to us all and Samantha is a Doll that can sing and play like no other. Thanks for sharing your personalities and talents with us Mere Mortals!!!❤

She has charisma and style. I like her a lot!

Saw her in London a few years back. She absolutely smashed it! A real entertainer!

Joe and Samantha keep the blues legacy alive! #respect

Samantha, you are the Edwina van Halen of the cigar box guitar.

Great interview from two great musicians. Humble and blessed.

Two of my favorites talking shop,doesn't get any better than this. I've met Samantha several times and she is 100% a sweetheart to everyone she meets.

Everything about Samantha, every detail is awesome and precious, such a talent in every detail!

My favorite episode to date. Great job Joe. Samantha Fish is an incredible talent.

She fills the Allman Brothers/Greg Allman void that's been missing. Songwriting, singing, guitar chops...

Thank you for liking my page... the best way I can reach out to you guys is giving you good shoots and music but I want to do more and my management wouldn’t let me that’s why I decided to get in touch with my fans randomly... I would like to know you just as you’ve known me..

Absolutely beautiful talented woman. Down to earth. Awesome.

What a great interview with the super talented Samantha Fish!

She is the future. She can SING that shit and PLAY that shit. Nobody today in 2021 even comes close. She will only get better. She makes all the 'other' female famous' artists look like beginners. Her classic rock covers absolutely SMOKE because she can SING AND PLAY IT ...............LOUD .......! Her originals are like the killer British Amy Winehouse/Adele? & band with a guitar in her hands !

Great interview from two killer guitar players..👍

So awesome seeing Samantha finally getting the recognition she so richly deserves. I’ve been following her for several years now and she’s really blossomed as an artist. But dang it Samantha, get your butt to Knoxville Tennessee so I can see you live!

I love Samantha Fish. So happy I found this interview. It is great! Two amazing musicians to say the least. ❤🔥🔥👏👏👏

I've seen her nine times since 2014. She's the whole nine yards!

Samantha is great i started watching her through Joe. And Joe you could really be a talk show host! Such great questions and so entertaining.

Joe I love ya brother. I've always been a rock & metal dude but, I'm definitely moving into a heavy blues feel because of you. Thank You brother.....and Samantha you are gorgeous and a gorgeous player love ya!

Joe is such a great interviewer...among his numerous other natural talents.

I beg to differ! He needs to make his questions more succinct. If you're a JB fan and don't know that: "his father owned a music store" by now, you're not much of a JB fan! Because he's such a phenomenal guitarist, I can almost tolerate three solos in one song. However, he needs to make his interviews more about the guest, and less about him! Here's a great example! 25:00

OMG!!!! That’s where I first saw you play... you had long hair .... I was there!!!!That’s when I decided you are the greatest guitarist I’ve known I’m my life... I knew you’d be a huge blues star. Got everything you’ve done since. 🙌❤️

This was so great... thanks for getting her on your show... I completely agree that “Kill or Be Kind” just put her off the charts as a blues gal...she’s my fav.. besides you. Lol. I listen to one of you everyday when I workout!! EVERY day❤️

What a talented beautiful lady! She is a must see live show. Please come to Wichita KS again when you can Samantha we miss you! You too Joe!

We just bought tickets to see Samantha in August. The ten hour round trip will be worth it.

Congrats Samantha Fish, this is a testament of your years of hard work and dedication to your artistry. I’m sure there are tons of bands that are disappointed not making this list. Variety 50 Best Songs Of 2021: Samantha Fish, ‘Better Be Lonely’ at #45 Blues fans are not the type to always take kindly to one of their practitioners “going pop.” So Fish, who’s already at risk of seeming like an outsider in the genre just by virtue of being a female guitar-slinger, took some risk by going in a more commercial direction on her “Faster” album. But it paid off, as an amalgam of great hooks and the six-string prowess that brought her to the dance. “Better Be Lonely” is a particular delight - that riff and that chorus would be enough, but when she twins up that guitar part around the midway point, it turns into pure rock bliss.

Have you ever seen Samantha perform War Pigs? WOW!!!

We had a holy trinity of gigs lined up last year in London, 5th March Samantha Fish, 14th March Joanne Shaw Taylor and 19th March Chantel McGregor. We got the first two but covid killed the last one. Now I am looking forward to the UK tour early next year. I may just live in my car and try to get them all!

I met her once when I played before her at the Bear Creek Blues Festival...she is really come a long way since then even my old bass player Chase Mcroy got to play with her in her band for a while....she owns the Lane she's driving and she is a STAR that's only gonna get bigger and brighter...😎👍👍

Joe's a great interviewer, I love his conversational and humorous style while still asking good questions. I've only seem a few of these, but will definitely listen to more.

Two of my favourite musician/ guitarists, love them both

KILLER INTERVIEW JOEY!! And we all agree with you, Samantha is a SUPERSTAR!

thanks so much joe and sam, it is so miserable to try and find good from the soul music these days, keep it up, i owe you guys a beer if i see ya.

I never wanted it to end!!! Two of my favorite artists! Thank you Joe for having her on the show 🙏(I totally agree with you, she seems like she’s on the verge of breaking big) But I just love her music and everything about her. I’m a guitarist/singer as well, so totally identified with everything you talked about. I think that was the best interview I’ve ever seen with Ms.Fish 🐠 ❤️👏 ...is it really over? Hope to see you both on the road soon!🔊🎸🎙maybe at the same show would be awesome!😎Thanks again.

So cool to see you both in an interview like this! It's interesting to hear how you both dealt with difficult times on tour.

Awesome Joe !! Sam recording with a gold top P90s at Abbey Rd - that would be superb - what an album that would be !! Sam you're amazing and such a sweetheart, absolutely beautiful. Just Wow !! I could listen to you for hours.

Ohh the plaza hotel roof ! Just the greatest !

I missed Samantha in Portland, waited to long to buy my tickets to the sold out show! Covid locked down happened a few month later...please come back to the Pacific N. West!

If it wasn’t for this interview I would not know who this chick was, so of course I’m going to go watch some KZread videos of her performing now. I just realized my first blues concert was at the Armory auditorium in Oregon ,it was Fleetwood Mac in 1968 or 69’ with Peter Green & Jeremy Spencer or maybe it was Danny Kerwin ? At any rate it was awesome and the opener was Savoy Brown .

Hi Joe, Hi Samantha. This crud ruined any possibilities of gigging. I want to get out there and hope to see your shows soon too. Being stuck in Northern Michigan is very depressing.

I haven't found a bad performance from Samantha. She gives each and every song 110%. You can't fake that or if you can it would show. She is a super star. I just feel bad for those that don't know it yet. One concert and they would be hooked. I like the fact Samantha is not specifically labeled as one genre or another. That is what makes her special.

Talented, humble, smart, beautiful. Deserving of as much success as will be good for her.

Love Her, great talent :)

Really good intwrview Joe. Seen both countless times. Both excellent. Cheers big ears!

I had a really bad infection in my face and I was on Prednisone the last week of November.I ate an entire turkey in two days. It sure kicked out the swelling though. You two need to do some shows together. I saw the Cruise Ship show on KZread. Great Rockin. Thank you this interview with Samantha Fish. It's great to hear her reflections on the fame and the heart break of difficult times. Leperd print is.cool my granddaughter Chrissy wears it a lot. Oh definitely drenched in Blues. Not exactly traditional but that's definitely in the tool kit. Samantha's style is awesome and a joy to listen to.

Son unicos 🎶💙🎶🐟

You guys are awesome!! Sooo, entertaining thanks for sharing....

Two classy people ,thanks for your music, Love you both.

Two of my favorite performers. Joe is the best. Loved Samantha since the first time she played Telluride. I wanted to tell her that she would be headlining that gig soon.

The show I keep going back to is the Crescent City BBQ Fest in NOLA.2018. Samantha rocked it out.

Awesome

This is going to be sweet!

Two great blues players-image if they had a kid.

Another great interview. This is the second of these I've watched after Joanne Shaw Taylor (have to start with my two favorite musicians). The musician-to-musician dynamic is refreshing compared to most interviews. Glad you mentioned the Healers album. That one slipped through the cracks for me, so I'm literally buying it right now. Still have my ticket to see Samantha Fish live at the Troubadour in LA. It's been postponed multiple times by the pandemic, but I hope October's the charm. Grew up in Kansas, so I've seen Samantha at least six times live, and she's great every time. My favorite though was when I was living in DC for a year, and she did a concert at the national botanic garden for their summer roots music series. The concert got pushed inside because of the weather forecast, so there were like 25 of us sitting in three rows of chairs surrounded by orange trees and tropical flowers watching Samantha tear up the set, mostly material from Wild Heart at that time. Seeing my first live blues since the pandemic began tomorrow, Kim Wilson live at a bar with an outdoor patio area.

I agree with Joe (not that he cares) that the "Kill or Be Kind" album is really good stuff. Definitely on my bucket list to see Samantha live.
