Back Door Slam - Almost Cut My Hair

[@CipherSerpico]

This is legitimately one of the best Covers I’ve ever heard. Every aspect of this is perfect. Everything is heavy, but still Soulful and Melodic… The drums, the vocals, the lead, the bass… These guys just play so damn well together. The way the vocals and the lead are supported by the Bass-player keeping the perfect pulse, while the Drummer is keeping the perfect groove-while also playing tasteful, satisfying fills… What else can I say - These guys are just really fuckin good.

Same guy years later. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJLQf6x8p8yLh5I

[@shaserv]

This kid has some unbelievable tone on that strat.

[@sandrodias1294]

really

[@ALSESSIONS]

great voice

[@83roadstar]

Davy can make a Gibson sound good!

[@jixxxxer17]

this is the same kid with a Tele, he just grew up a little in this vid :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJLQf6x8p8yLh5I

[@Jus-lq5qx]

Really sick colour too. Anybody know what it’s called?

[@delmarfavre9010]

You just witnessed a man giving a guitar a soul

[@madmission]

Top comment.. well said sir :)

[@laurindabohrer2806]

That's exactly what Davy Knowles does. Perfect description!

[@europainvicta3907]

Guitar wank actually.

[@paulywalnuts5008]

The best cover of this song hands down...

[@billhelmerich4295]

This is awesome for sure...great vocals and playing. But my vote for the complete best KZbin cover of this song is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKO5Y36cpttmbM0

[@RobertLane78]

You knocked my socks off. As an old dude, that flew a freak flag, I know you get it. Sorta like Stevie Ray met Stills there. I dig it. Great playing and singing. You have the curse. You will look outside the box for answers in music and life. Play on Youngblood!

[@alwayssummer8029]

He outplays and outsings !!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I am in LOVE!!!

[@stevetrimble7007]

Yeah Robert..my freak flag is flyin!!

[@donkeninitz4590]

Yeah, great call: Stills meets SRV. I'm ancient too, so Stills was one of my guitar heroes back in the day. Few people these days realize the esteem he was once held in as a guitar player. In those old Playboy music polls he used to be ranked right up there with Clapton in the blues and rock categories, and higher in acoustic. Its not that us oldies don't still hold him in high esteem, but rather that he's faded from view among younger guys.

[@stewatexas]

better then original

[@serredawakefield6287]

Absolutely love these young people digging into the blues sound - blues will never die.

[@govtmulestevo]

just heard these youngsters . sweet david neil jam. cant find anything newer than this.

[@StepOnLegos1]

Only the best musicians can sing and sound like they're an old blues guy but actually turn out to be like 20. That's good shit.

[@Shotokandss]

WOW!!!!! So I wanted to hear Almost Cut My Hair and seen this cover and thought, "Well I will listen this F-IN guy chop the song all to hell". And DAMN was I surprised! This cover literally Blew Me Away!!!!!!! Never heard on Davey before but he just gained himself +1 fan! WOW, just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[@akxeman]

THIS is just what the doctor ordered. We need to see and hear more of these guys!

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

WOW!...Singing...guitar playing and his tone... Just. Excellent!

[@camilapinho5138]

12 years later, and still incredible. Keep going Davy !

[@MarkPorter-eq3lb]

Diss rocks my world . And makes me want to keep living in this o crap world. Thank you sir.

[@racingsimsexperience7826]

If only Rory could have seen you play...man, he would been really amazed😎Great stuff, from the heart! You Rock🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😁

[@cevinladd23]

That guitar playing was absolutely phenomenal

[@call_me_tyler1887]

Damn I’m still listening to this in 2018 anybody else

[@floor993]

DOOM_DINGER yessss!!

[@LoneWolfJoe]

It's kinda weird to see Davy playing a strat. He should more often! Although the Tele he is currently playing in 2018 sounds mighty too. But wow, what a performance here! Incredible!

[@74dartman13]

Good music never gets old!👍😎🎸🎶

[@PlanoFSXer]

2019.01.02... yep!

[@artmike525]

Ya

[@paulmcilroy7508]

I couldn't agree more. The very best cover I have heard ever!!!!! Amazing......thank you for a beautiful homage to David Crosby R.I.P. 🎸❤

[@masterferguson8703]

Davy messaged me on Facebook years ago around the time his first album came out he gave me some great advice. Was 15 when I discovered him in guitar world. And he became my guitar Idol..my playing always has a little hint of Davy Knowles in it. One of the few guys with their own truly unique sound.

[@yellowcat1310]

he sure does make that Strat sound good.

[@JohnNesbit1957]

I saw them open for Chickenfoot in NYC 2010. Davy Knowles sounds like a blend of Stevie Winwood, Paul Rogers and Billy Gibbons. They kicked some ass that that night, for sure !

[@jeffrreyhenon2013]

Un-like most young people today.. These guys really hit the " MARK " in a class- less music industry that mostly, rewards talent- less so called, stars... Thanks to to guys like this..( BLUES MUSIC ) , still. has a pulse!!!!! BLUES-POWER !!!!!

[@kevingeeting4011]

That is just bloody brilliant! Completely under appreciated! Davey is an elite guitarist and his voice is fabulous as well!

[@iagoribeiro4940]

His playing just gives me goosebumps, thats amazing

[@lynxbrickstein5397]

Fantastic version! Stumbled upon this a few weeks ago and have been watching it 20+ times since then. Davy Knowles - you've got yourself a new fan! Inspiring guitar work!

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

So much energy in his playing, powerful stuff.

[@ericbuchannan3073]

This was back in the days when he was still playing with his mates from the Isle of man before the corporate suits decided that he needed a pro-band. They were really good too

[@mike4999]

you can feel the soul in this jam holy shit

[@mjmccoy9]

Top notch. I watched this multiple times - and that doesn't happen often. Well done!

[@southamericanrocker]

Jaw-dropping cover!! ... This guy is a really good bluesman... with all the letters!!

[@alanpresford1606]

[@robertjohnson3855]

Absolutely great performance. Amazing voice and guitar. This guy is going to be a legend Mark my words. Hopefully he does not let fame ruin him like so many do.

[@valentinatheunicorn93]

Pure Blues. This was an experience thank you

[@direwoof3186]

awesome...my 72 yr old dad told me about back door slam lol

[@anthonyyates616]

direwoof3 my uncle told me about this band hes retired from railroad im 30 hes 60 lol

[@superdriver777]

I saw these guys in 2019 in Morristown, N.J. (I'm lucky to live 10 minutes away!) and Davy and his buddies blew my mind. This was their encore and I was so thrilled....one of my favorites. Great video!

[@matthewleet6419]

If I had a Tardis I would definitely go to this show!

[@JCsAngel]

Love him!! He's wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt!! That's my man!

[@ryanstothert2889]

The band name is taken from the lyrics to a 'Zep song - "Since I've been loving you" I think...

[@lazafare2460]

You owned this song with your axe and vocals...you were the vessel...you didnt block the flow...just....WOW!!!!!

[@missgayle48]

Why isn't he a super star??? Great voice and GREAT guitar ability. What's up with the record industry?

[@MrTerrymul]

Love this guy... Listen to this all night!

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Great Cover of one of the best Pop-Rock songs ever written by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Great performance! :-)

[@nickabbott3083]

This format was the best ever such a shame they didn't stick together

[@LoneWolfJoe]

I quite like his current lineup though. The drummer and keyboard player he has now compliment his style and sound perfectly in my opinion.

[@GuitarJr56]

Great job! Thank you for posting and for a great job on a classic...

[@dandiego7298]

Awww, yeah! One of the best versions of this cool tune I’ve heard. Well done, guys!

[@arianahenderson3834]

This band is AMAZING!!!!

[@williamtretiak4232]

just got turned on to these guys and I must say WOW loving it.

[@ericpatrick6454]

I have to admit I was not expecting much when I saw a young guy playing this but has both a great voice and conveys the emotion of the original - well done! Also great sentiment expressed via solo on guitar

[@clausolsson1060]

I was lucky enough to see them in a small club "The Yale" in Vancouver, B.C.,Canada, a few years back , an amazing guitarist

[@yellowcat1310]

this guy nailed it. between his guitar and voice he nailed.

[@bryanschuler7158]

Nice cover guys! One of my favorites!

[@rhudock4426]

What a great job.great voice n lead skills that could play with the best.keep playing your gonna be number one .god bless again great great job

This guy really rips!!! And sings well...

[@jpayne3616]

Love your emotion dude. Awesome cover

[@catman3162]

Wooowww!! You boys sure do Rock this old anthem in style!

[@TheMauriciorocks]

Unbelievable tone. You just kill it! AWSOMEEEE!

[@wallyo202]

Happened to hear them doing outside woman blues...made a trip into the city to see them at the Hammerstein, and they just blew the roof off the place....his playing is effortless, and his voice is just as good

[@MandoMiri]

Love Davy. Lovely person inside and out and so talented.

[@jamesadkins1507]

Wow !! That was brilliant !!!

[@sten4413]

This is a fantastic cover. Your spot on with vocals and guitar.

[@otismayberry334]

God loves a power trio

[@Catmandoo001]

A younger Davy Knowles tearing it up on guitar!

[@miroslavbiga5571]

Huhhh.. Enjoyed every tone.. Played with dignity and respect to the old school.. Bravo!!!

[@abelltiger]

This inspires me. Great great cover!

[@FRITZFLYNN]

I've watched a-lot of his covers of this song and this one is w/o question the best IOM.......that energy!!!!!!

[@gregoryfleming4324]

Fantastic power, what a tremendous version of this classic

[@jamesa.rodriguez8598]

Nice cover. I felt it. God bless you.

[@bethanndeweese3132]

Great chops and soul, he definately loved SRV!

[@rockartistet]

Davey gives a reason for a strat to exist. Fender did not realise what their strat could do until this man picked one up. Davey a product of pure Isle of Man .

[@hippychick2004]

what a great way to start the day - thanks!

[@theobuitendijk]

Great cover and awsome performance!

[@thermality]

Amazing. Thanks for posting.

[@stevensmith7323]

These guys are the REAL DEAL. Great music.

[@tmorr7692]

Some one owes these young uns alotta f props...don't quit

[@luzferro3665]

Wasn't expecting that voice out of you. Very nice! I like it! Nice leads on the guitar too!

[@jimmysharkey1665]

Excellent great version of a great song 🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@misterfeep]

First time I ever saw him was this show and it was this song on KZbin from an earlier show that caused me to go see him. Thanks for posting.

[@susannedcarey]

RIP DC. Davey, you rock this song

[@MrVeite]

deep deep music and a long gone personal true story behind. Great artists.

[@Brickjp]

Davy, you rock. Incredible version!

[@jaysaenz3217]

Awesome, seen him so many times wish it was still these original members

[@timsrednavnaj]

Sometimes I love algorithms; searching for David Crosby you come across Back Door Slam. Never heard of them, but, man, what a guitar player!

[@elmobolan4274]

Wow, really stuck to the original song, no extra crap of today's music added , fabulous!!!!

[@jamesmccauley4520]

Powerful voice reminds me of Paul Rodgers two thumbs up

[@robertmccall6893]

One of the greatest bands in history and Knowles is the real deal, guitar and vocals.

[@robertmccall6893]

If you don t know this band listen to their albums wherever you can.

[@haftshar]

It was about 2009 or so (they were all teenagers then) that I first saw Back Door Slam. Quickly became one of my favorites. This guy can play & sing with the best of them.

[@gien6]

young boys ,old music ,i love it . the sound is amazing

[@edseljuliana3428]

My favorite song of CSNY

[@marlahart2060]

🎸💁‍♀️Awesome! Great job!

[@valentinipuche3128]

one of the best live performances ever

[@Xardox17]

My very fave tune from CSNY, from back in the day when high schools had hair codes. I went three years from graduation before my next haircut. I sold out to get a job with the EPA, which is federal. A GREAT cover! Certainly better guitarmanship than CSN ever had.

[@zebulon8819]

Good Lord son kicking butt and taking names and no prisoners awesome job 👍👍✌️♥️

[@nickabbott3083]

Loved this band best format never been matched

[@dianaallison6110]

Awesome cover of David Crosby's song! Great vocals & that guitar is singin'. Nice 2 hear the old classics being revived by the younger generation... Very impressive! * Is this Davy Knowles?

[@GotMule]

Yes it is!

[@francescominicucci3669]

Fantastici. Chitarrista bravissimo. From italy, great band.

[@ghostwriter11]

Legend in the making. Stay tuned . . . .

[@rockadamsky9526]

Favorite song of CSNY!!

[@Rickscrux]

Blues with a CSN twist. And these young dudes nailed it!

[@donkeninitz4590]

Great cover. And I gotta agree with another comment: that is some killer tone you're getting with that Strat. As a primarily Strat player myself, I'd love to know what your amp and pedal rig is for this song.

[@walterdavidscottnongkynrih543]

I love this song I play the rhythm by heart

[@bybeach4865]

Just listened to CSNandY as a tribute to Crosby and happened to come across this. Incredible!
