[@msattler111]

There are far too few people in this world that even know what a Nashville metal bodied guitar is or how it was meant to be played. Damn few people. Thank you so much for your take on it... I mean that very sincerely.

[@gordonredwood3909]

I hope someday people are listening to your playing as treasured classics.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

It would help me out more today, if listening encourages them to buy some of my CDs. lol Being buried treasure is not what most artists aspires to achieve in their lifetime. lol

[@Ironfist1908]

I sure do. Been many years now. Great music, great voice.

[@EarlyRiser365]

I live in Mississippi and sure do enjoy you boys who keep it alive. I play in a rock band as a drummer but always remember where the roots are. Thank you boys, ole blind willie would be proud of you.

[@paulfreeman5597]

Oh how mankind never ceases to amaze me. Creation is mankind’s gift. Enjoy while you can, cheers from Canada.

Life begets life. It is ceaseless without end. No coming or going. Unborn and unextinguished Life and death are simple subjective conveniences.

[@IBCupcake2277]

My 4 month old son looooves your stuff. He always quiets down and listens :)

[@AmiraSmyrna]

Why bother have a 'thumbs down' option on pages like this,,,when you clearly just want to give it a thumbs up...love it!

[@EstherAndTheStraightRazo-rq8sd]

Been listenin to this for quite a while. Doesn’t get any better than this. Wish I could play like. Well done gentleman.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. I teach worldwide via Zoom. Visit me on Facebook.

[@exmerc58]

just cant seem to get enough of this , like the 300rth time ive watched this . great great music . thank you .

[@kpasa111]

It's great to see people keeping the old blues alive. There's a place reserved in heaven for you. I always like to encourage young people to go and listen to the original song, in this case by Blind Willie Johnson. Then you can appreciate this version even more.

[@jackd8602]

The Gift keeps on giving, and never gets old

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@kimjohnellis698]

blind willie Johnson is the greatest of the blues gospel singers ever. he was a genius ahead of his time asking in the 40s is a man only in his mind or if he had a soul something beyond the body. I love the guitar in this piece and the voice even a terrible singer like me can contribute a few bum notes too thanks guys

[@ruth736]

nothing better than the feeling of music floating through your veins...this is gold.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. We appreciate the encouragement.

[@reniart]

This music needs to be everywhere.

[@truckeemick2486]

harp and slide , they get me everytime. always have. brilliant sound.

[@tyronemarcucci6991]

The simplicity and purity of this music makes so enjoyable to listen to. Blues is where it's at. I have a few of Blind Willie Johnson's records. Great for on the road, at night, on a long trip.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you.

[@PennilessProfits]

You guys are fantastic! Simply amazing! We all got to keep the blues alive and you guys are definitely doing your part!

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Enjoy your visit.

[@buddyzroadie]

Thank you so much for posting this, it's awesome playing! And I completely agree with Robert Walters- It sounds exactly like time travelin' to 1927.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. Like rolling the dice, this one happened to work out especially well. Glad you are enjoying it.

[@dominiquehadjean9310]

Excellent bravo

[@BlueParadoxical]

I cannot believe how amazing this song is. I have admired your rendition for quite some time and it still sends chills down my spine. You are both so inspirational. Thank you.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your kind words. This style seemed to resonate with me. (sorry about the pun). I guess this accounts for how it gets expressed. If the performer feels it, usually the listener will too. I guess it simply cannot be forced.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. We greatly appreciate your encouragement. We are currently working on new CD of all original songs.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. They are very kind and encouraging.

[@prcarita]

a dobro,a harp two friends and a piece of soul and you've got the blues!thanks

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your comment. Certainly not Bluegrass, but more of a country folk blues approach than a hard bitten Delta rendition. Enjoy.

Brothers, I discovered this video quite some time ago and I couldn't get it out of my heart if I wanted to. I've said it before and I still stand by it; this is the best rendition of the time, hands down. It makes me miss my Southern home something awful, thank you for helping this old dog keep his memories alive. Keep on with it, fellas, you've got pure gold.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate your kindness.

[@fergus1948]

If I could play and sing like that I'd die happy!

[@frumpitation]

love this kinda music. greetings from scotland :)

[@elrico1364]

Im often distracted by the many forms of blues... and that's a good thing too..... but whenever I land on a site as this.... I find my thinking stopped and Im then in the strictly 'absorbed-by-it'' mode. And... I want to remain right there. You see.... this opens and reveals to me a place in my soul that I just didn't even know was there.... til now.

[@texas77581]

Love the break from modern electronis and a trip back to raw 'people's musik'. Nice one

[@danielthompson6207]

This is, by far, my favorite rendition of this piece. You both have beautiful souls and it shines through in your playing and singing

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for sharing your encouraging thoughts. Much appreciated.

+Keni Lee Burgess Is there somewhere to get the lyrics to this version of the song?

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Look toward the original. After that, I craft the lyrics the best I can to express the original intention of the song. Write your own rendition. I teach my rendition on CD 8. Ebay / Search: keni lee

Oh to have a resonator parlor, this is truly a great experience!

[@dum18067]

I am in awe of your talent. Brilliant.

[@dankemarx8125]

One more beautiful song Sir!

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your comment. Regardless of metal or glass, thick walled and heavy usually works best. Glass is more dense than softer metals like brass and generally produces the superior tone. Guitar Set-up is really key for any guitar to produce it's best tone. The proper string tension for the slide is essential. Tuning and string guage are related. I hope this answers your question. Enjoy your practice.

[@1977Toddo]

Amazing Tune!!!!! I love it!!!! Greetz from Germany

[@troyboy6169]

To me, Nothing defines delta blues like the resonator guitar. In the hands of a good player the sound is heaven like.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your kind words. I hope to visit Europe someday. Enjoy.

[@accelwell7018]

Why the hell have a never heard this before? It's amazing.

Thank you. I teach private lessons via worldwide Zoom if you are interested. I can help you with that. Visit me on Facebook.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

No. A resonator guitar has an aluminum cone inside that creates the vibrating tone similar to how a banjo uses a skin to produce it's unique sound. Thank you for your question.

We don't hear enough of this classic stuff! Fab!

Ya...in big cities too. In a way, pawn brokers function and step in, when the banks can't help you...after watching these currently popular shows about pawn shops...people should do a little homework first before pawning. Brokers are there to make a buck too...if they can get more for less, that is just good business. Thanks for sharing.
