Christone "Kingfish" Ingram - Empty Promises Live!

[@spmartin]

I have listened to and played blues for 40 years. This guy is a blues icon in the making. He's got the soul, the chops, the voice, the humility and the back story. No doubt.

[@christopherschlacter4953]

Absolutely.

I just watched his show at Horseshoe Tavern Toronto. my brain is still under siege. I am completely blown away, the last time anyone blew my mind this much the first time seeing someone was in 1983 at the El Mocambo watching SRV + DT. hours later and I am still saying What did I see What was I witnessing. Kingfish is incredible.

This dude has no business playing so well. Definitely an inspiration.

[@65SteveC]

My birthday is in early March and he's going to playing here just a few days before that. Talk about a great birthday party! Can't wait!

[@peopleunite78]

He can easily pass for the son of the late blues guitarist Freddie King, R.I. P.

[@beckholland8367]

can we just acknowledge not only his blistering guitar but his angelic voice. its almost like a beautiful argument

[@CortEvens-pn2gn]

It is so great to see a young black man get into this music. Clearly he has great taste in music. I can't wait to go see him live along with Blackberry Smoke

[@8sun52]

Jontavious Willis. Keeping the Blues alive too. Outrageous.

[@amisspain3884]

Puts me in the mind of Ernie Isley and Eddie Hazel too. When you share this video, there’s no need to say “listen to the whole song or watch the whole thing”. Once you start listening, you won’t be able to stop. 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you God for this young man, it’s about time.....

[@naneek2]

It really makes me happy seeing Kingfish play this Michael Burks song like it's an old standard. Because it truly is timeless. When I was in high school I bought Michael Burks' new album "Iron Man" and listened to it on repeat. Not many blues musicians were touring and putting out new albums right then. Michael was my contemporary guitar hero, my favorite working musician. I was pretty broke up about it when he died. It's nice to know that his music will have a lasting legacy and that people are bringing new life and new interpretations to his songs.

god bless we are witnessing an icon in the making thank the algorithm for bringing me to this great joy

[@echoesoffloyd5000]

He is young but plays fantastic old school. Rare prodigy, he is.

[@enriquerosales8166]

Lots of good talent too much very appreciative hearing ham thumbs up 100%

[@bobbyterrito8011]

He’s a genius!!! The way he’s mixing scales and modes for dramatic effect is so incredible. I’m getting major Frampton vibes!!! With some Gary Moore and Robin Trower thrown in. But most of all, I hear him!!! He makes that guitar speak!!! That little descending lick at 6:40 seriously gave me goosebumps!!! It was simple, but so tasteful!!!

[@Khaled91]

He knows how to get out of the pentatonic scale...A snippet of a cleaner major sound keeps it interesting...A piece of B flat.. A piece of C like what he did at 6.40 was smooth af. Only criticism from me is that he uses the wah pedal a little too much for my liking...Others may disagree though.

[@83roadstar]

@@Khaled91 I used to use the wah pedal much like Kingfish for a treble booster, then I bought a Fulltone treble booster,now I don't use the wah nearly as much! That was my answer to getting more presence! Cheers

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Lol No blues scale practice more Moore Bs

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Gotta apologize for my critic. Maybe u guys haven't been playing long. Whatever floats

[@bobravenscraft5376]

All scales are intertwined. Don't impress so easily

[@71ibanez]

That’s playing at a totally different level!!..it’s actually frightening!!

[@MikeCinner]

He’s carrying the torch. BB King and the others would be proud.

[@nolabrooks9906]

I just found out he wanted this year’s Blues Grammy and he is 23. He has to be one of the youngest to accomplish a feat like that
