ANA POPOVIC - NAVAJO MOON - BAKER BLUES FESTIVAL 2011

Ana Popovic plays Navaho Moon at the 2011 Mt Baker Blues Festival

Bravo Ana! Gitarista za respekt i poštovanje.

[@gwalj]

I am with you sir! There is no good music, there is no bad music. If you like a certain type of music, it is good. Like you, I enjoy the music that Ms Popovic makes.

[@bluesrocker79]

I saw her in Cincinnati August 3rd. As soon as I heard her first notes I knew she was going to be good.

[@showaddy11]

ana popovic is a player who loves what she does. that is what musicians do.. some headbangers demeen her for wearing a short dress. many head bangers wore dresses. cool then?

[@madamebutterfly851]

mt.baker blues fest, great event! real chill, not huge swarms of people like some of the other music festivals. I went in 2007 and saw jeff healy not too long before he passed. cant wait til this years in August!

[@mootseighthecat]

The lady's always welcome in Montreal, and loved for the great music she plays !!!.

[@upsman63]

Thanks for the post! Love It! looking forward to seeing her play live Friday night in my home town Nashville TN at the Bourbon st blues bar.

[@bluewildangel13]

Hvala za vaše komentare. U pravu si, Ana je iznimno talentiran.

[@andreasswarfeld]

She sounds great .. love to see the sisters playing ... there really are some incredible players around .. if you make music you rule period !!

[@pukichela]

excellent ana, i like her.

[@losteroni]

People keep referring to this as a Stevie Ray Vaughn cover but it's not . It's a tribute . Stevie wrote a song called Tin Pan Alley which is also blues in the key of C but this is an original song .

[@michaschlitt]

Ana wow !!!

[@baretous]

I came here for the legs. I stayed for the guitar. And she made my day with her talent & legs. C'est la vie !

[@20gilbert20]

I agree. I am 62, and have been picking since 1965. My influences were Clapton, Hendrix, BB, and Freddy King. This girl may not be the hottest player on the planet, but she is very good. And she seems devoted, too. Why criticize her? Just to be trolls?

[@MrBillberlin]

must be heaven

[@soupchicken89]

Even from the recording, the tone on her guitar sounds awesome. I bet it sounded even more amazing being there.

[@vaccumme]

Outstanding !!! V.

[@ironkidandband]

pozdrav is düsseldorf

[@jkryanspark]

@stratphil Don't you love the facial and body movements of SR Vaughn? Everything he does seems to enhance his playing. Cool. A real guitarist connected body, mind, and soul to his strat.

[@dropac]

yes,he play the solo on the record and jennifer play it live on the dangerous tour,1997 in Germany,in Japan........

[@cfbodman2]

Very easy to enjoy the instruments not overpowering, just nice and smooth listening

[@bsrdan]

Svaka cast!!

[@20gilbert20]

I agree totally with your comment. She certainly gets an A for effort, if not the greatest guitarist.

[@fender4brad]

Great stuff Ana! I am not sure what you do with rock, blues and Jazz, but it is great stuff!

[@locovaisa]

maravillosa!!!!!!

[@RICARDO45961]

ELA DEIXA MUITOS GUITARRISTAS NO BOLSO!!!!KIKIKIKI!!!

[@jor99912]

She gives credit to Stevie Raye. That's the way Elvis did it. Gave credit to Al Jolson. Raye Vaughn had class, respect. Like Jerry Lee Lewis, he would have give credit to Albert King, Freddie King.

[@jkryanspark]

You wouldn't catch me dead at a Michael Jackson Concert so I wouldn't know. Haven't you figured it out already. We have different tastes in music and I have no problem with that. Music is a reckoning of the heart and its enjoyment is personal to everyone. You can't talk a person into liking something.

[@sadlymusic]

Awesome...he plays guitar with elegance and style get a model on catwalk.even..

[@michaelallenmusic]

Hell, I'm being entranced by the guy tearing it up on the Hammond over there

[@robertth77]

@bigpileofcack The point is that she is NOT playing the blues. She has her own style with blues influence. No she does not have MoJo, she's from Serbia. That's a completely different culture. Taking that in mind, she's really good in my opinion and is definitely original. And yes she is good looking, but even without that she's a good musician. If you would say that about Britney Spears and the like I fully agree with you.

[@Avalaxy]

What's the name of the song that starts at 8:25? It's so intensely cool in a very strange way. Some tones that don't seem to fit together, but actually perfectly do.

[@MrRonnie54]

Nice!

[@DanielFittipaldi]

FODA ESSA MENINA.

[@wsalviso]

damn you people are so wrong i'm a 59 yr old guitarist my influences were robben, carlos and srv/hendrix. i cant see her skirt cuz she is so good with that fender and she really has incredible presence. its like you see legs and automatically think shes below average, get your had out of your ass.

[@starwarsfarcryteamfr]

coool

[@Norwalkdude]

Mt Baker Rythym and Blues Festivle? Why is this woman not playing Madison Square Garden!!!????!?!

[@bigpileofcack]

@robertth77People go to Blues festivals to listen to the Blues music,she is playing at a 'Blues festival ' Every video of her claims she is playing the blues?The Rolling Stones,Angus Young AC/DC say their main influence is Blues music,do you see them performing their blues influenced material at Blues festivals? It may be an individual slant or style based on Blues music but it's still gotta be good . It may as well be Brittney Spears performing if this wannabe can getaway with it.

[@cheesefrogsnail]

This is jazz...

[@tonyturner4093]

Not everyone needs to be a guitar god to move someone. All these comparisons are meaningless. Either her music moves you or it doesn't. If it doesn't - move on and spread your negativity somewhere else. For those keeping score - it's 468 up and only 18 down.

[@rickmangler7076]

Right on Tony. 2 years later, 562 and 22.

[@DanielFittipaldi]

gostei!

[@macc7245]

It sounds like blues to me, but not total traditional blues which is nice to hear for a change. Her tone is unusual too, bright and airy not the testosterone driven dirty sound that is so boring. I LIKE!

[@bigpileofcack]

@beetle1835 See you there beetlegeuse . 1835 is that the year you were born or just the period your thinking's from ?

[@Hyabusa40]

Navaho Moon? Interesting how this tune sounds alot like Riviera Paradise...

[@eraust]

ахереннно

[@bigpileofcack]

@kc12112 In which case you must be hearing nothing , explains alot ...

[@Sonomahead]

I hear a little Frank Zappa in that Guitar! Great job!

[@xenophonon123]

mr blues playing the "didlo" in F-major. What a cluck, pal. Good luck in the 7th grade, (again). Three times a charm, I hear; but in your case, I ain't so sure. How many more payments on the trailer home, Gomer?

[@slightseconds]

@bigpileofcack ha ha your name says it all

[@MrBungeefly]

The question of marketing

[@bigpileofcack]

@robertth77 So why reply at all if that's the case ?

[@stpwadds]

Check out Joanna Shaw Taylor, awesome young female blues guitarist

[@robertth77]

@bigpileofcack You seem to have a pretty strong opinion. I keep wondering why you listen to her at all. I think she's quite good. You don't. That's your opinion, I have mine. End of discussion.

[@criscros7]

First I was like "Wow, did Ana change her racket for a guitar?", but then I realized that I confused her with Ana Ivanovic.

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

@bigpileofcack It is what it is Brother and it's called an opinion. Whatever gets you through the nightI Personally think the Woman kicks ass and so does Joanne Shaw Taylor, Sue Foley and a few more. .Do you even play an instrument or just a Couch Critic?

[@bigpileofcack]

@robertth77 Look up Joanne Shaw Taylor that's what I consider playing the blues ....

[@shagnasti1]

@bigpileofcack Actually she's quite good. Not Joe Bonamassa but very good. Should be playing bigger venues.

[@AshStrat1]

Ive listened to a few tracks on here of this girl , she seems to be finding her own style , however , whoever is mixing her band needs a word in his ear because you cant here her solos for screaming keyboards and it seems the same on ever track , a pity she plays some nice stuff

[@aljendea]

Like she's playing on some nursing home gathering or something :) Damn!

[@62darwal]

AAnna jestes WWWielka

[@rido12001]

chilometrico l'assolo...

[@jkryanspark]

She's very good but I doubt I could listen for more than a few songs. I once left a Joe Bonamassa concert before it ended for the same reason. Only the elite lead guitarists can hold an audience rapt for hours.

[@kc12112]

I 'opine' that your favorite bands are Culture Club and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Relax don't do it 'pal'

[@wsalviso]

really

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

@bigpileofcack Go listen To How'd You Learn To Shake It Like That. I don't care much for this the studio version is actually better. On the faster tunes she tears it up quite well.

[@cassiodorus1]

Good stuff! Pretty sedate setting tho...

[@MrBasicben]

the porta johns seem more into it.....ana is shredding....thank god she doesnt have a wind machine for her her like that chick steve vai...

[@RicardoSanchezMusic]

the first 5 minutes was not blues. after that.. badass

[@bigpileofcack]

@robertth77 I am not jealous at all however I do not appreciate people getting away with being second rate simply because they are attractive,sexy (male or female) while truly talented artist struggle and often disappear . This Woman has 'not got it' as far as playing the blues goes she has no MoJo ,not even close and for the ones that do and have respect for the music this is an insult The fact that you can't see this doesn't surprise me though ...

[@bigpileofcack]

@TEXASFENDERBENDER Yer TEX, it's one of those situations where if it has to be pointed out to you,there's probably not much point. Yes I do play the guitar and If I uploaded a video of me playing I'd expect to be hammered by criticism but this has nothing to do with jealousy or Men V Women that is incidental I love many Women guitarists / musicians and my comments are purely out of respect for them and the genre. Ana P is blues by numbers the music doesn't flow from her IMO.

[@bigpileofcack]

@TEXASFENDERBENDER I've checked out a far bit of her stuff not impressed and I wish I was.

[@jkryanspark]

The only Michael Jackson song that's worth listening to is Beat It. Why? Because Eddie Van Halen played the solo, an amazing one. Why not use Batten if she's so good? I'm talking elite and there has never been a woman guitarist worth the time to listen too. Loved the Jackson 5.

[@roope159]

Kyllä tämä Erja Lyytisen hakkaa mennen tullen.

[@dropac]

like i say,jennifer batten,michael jackson's lead guitar...

[@TheDoremire]

nista posebno, nije mi se svidela ni 1997-me, kada sam je vise puta slusao uzivo i upoznao. ima previse dobre blues muzike da bih gubio vreme na ovako nesto. al ko voli nek voli, ipak je to nase gore list....

[@Bwiser63]

Bad hair day.

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

@bigpileofcack MOJO? Really ....I know a lot of top shelf Musicians who think shes has something...By the way Brother...NOBODY uses the word MOJO except you and Austin Powers.If you are going to play Music critic at least get the vernacular correct.

[@dropac]

yeah...say that to jennifer batten....xD

[@sadlymusic]

Ehhh We are listen to and talking about women top artists guitarrist-player-singing (sorry, before for my mistaken written, 'She' due to erase 's') in the world, no about russian trans pseudo-woman testosteroned, they had to win anything in olympic game... (men have large hands and mustaches..are bad, bad)

[@70goldtop]

This is precisely why I never got into Strats.Candy ass guitar played by candy ass players.Put an SG in this chicks hands,tell her to bend a note like Chuck Berry and try not to break a nail.I NEED rock and blues not finesse

[@jkryanspark]

Jennifer who? I've had this argument too often to bother with. Show me a woman guitarist with large hands and balls (high testosterone) and I'll give her a listen.

[@kc12112]

I'm not your 'pal' obviously you don't know what the word means.

[@davidkahan]

i expected a tennis player...

[@robertth77]

@bigpileofcack You're reaction obviously shows that you have no knowledge about music or you're just completely jealous that you cannot play like that. Ana Popovic is not the best guitar player I agree (why do you have to be anyway?), but she has style, class and is NOT mainstream but original. Your comparison of Popovic with Orianthi is really not opportune. They have completely different styles. I don't like Orianthi's style that much personally. She has her own style.

[@stratphil]

@jkryanspark Amen to that... whats with all these twisted facials that she and bonomasa do... it doesnt add anything to the music

[@vinegaroon1]

She's very good, no doubt, but Samantha Fish is better.

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

below average guitarist gets the attention with mini skirt

[@jkryanspark]

What am I supposed to be seeing? If you go back to my original comment you'll see I don't care at all for this music and her playing. If she were a man, she'd be a very good club player and an unknown. If she played topless, she'd have a broader audience. Not a misogynist. Just a realist. Woman suck at lead guitar.

[@xenophonon123]

hey pal; she just ain't that good. Get over your hard-on for the woman. Your opinion matters nothing and refrain from critcizing others who agree that she just ain't that great of a guitarist. Listen to her with a critical ear instead of eyes wide open and your hand in your pants.

[@xenophonon123]

Popovic reeks of mediocrity and unoriginality; and those who opine otherwise lack any credible concept of real talent and basic understanding of the music.

[@zedlubilion308]

Hey pal pull your boyfriend's junk out of your ear and lighten up.

[@dervictor01]

GO BACK TO KITCHEN AND NEVER TOUCH A GUITAR AGAIN -__-

[@beenderedonedat]

this is a subjective opinion, mine... her playing annoys me, bye

[@m_recordz]

Just take the dress off, hon.

[@TheYermani]

too much notes!!

[@АлексейГорлов-г5и]

Хрень... а могла бы быть хорошей женой и матерью....((((

[@6557andrewg]

Awful song.

[@blou4now]

she aint shit. No tone or timing, she shouldnt have done a stevie ray copy in the first place none of them are in his class

[@blou4now]

If its not a stevie ray copy, the style is, just nowhere near as precise and NO TONE. And not a zappa either.

[@stub2022]

Wow, your bitterness has blinded you. I'm an SRV fan from way back, but you're totally wrong about this being a copy. She has her own jazzy style that you clearly don't understand. "No tone or timing?", haha, whatever you say.
