[@chris-4566]

A genuinely talented blues man with a voice I could listen to all day long.

[@trevorkenward7661]

Apart from being a great singer and guitarist this guy pays attention to how we the public hear the music. How often do buskers either sound too shrill or too muffled. His guy knows his frequencies and how to control them. Great job.

[@benjaminsmith-kn6oy]

All artists are sorcercers.

[@donparker1823]

I've always liked that song. LIke this version even better.

[@resurrectiontree]

I subbed just from this performance alone. Best version of this song I've ever heard. 👍🏼

[@billgates-xr9hs]

Very gifted musician awesome job

[@skipsmith743]

love his slide... simple and effective... plumbing guitar

[@meagainandagain5756]

3/4” or 1/2”? I guess 3/4

[@Shuffler703]

The kid was loving your music. I loved it too. Nice rendition.

[@marcelbpunkt]

Hail The Algorithm for showing this gem in my feed! I'ma spend some time now digging through your discography. This is 😚👌

[@MarkusK.]

[@jamieforbes3661]

God that raw searing tone is glorious! Love your covers brother!! Keep it up there are people truly digging what you do!!❤

[@MarkusK.]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Rood67]

*Tennessee Ernie Ford would give this his stamp of approval* Not just another imitation; but a unique twist on a country classic. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❣️

[@PeterPan-nh7yx]

@Rood67 ... and Merle Travis would have given it a 👍👍👍

[@mikelthemechanic9025]

Realy struggeling with the ignorance of the people here most of them wouldn't recognize good music even when it's played straight in their faces.........................nice job well done 👍👍👍

[@anitakephart3851]

Speaking of ignorance,please, use spell check if you don't know how to spell a word it is really and it is struggling.

[@alexp9884]

Отличный ритм, классная слад-гитара! Маркус как всегда поет проникновенно! После утомительной работы ,,поднял на ноги,, меня за двадцать минут!( через наушники-на полную🎧📣!)💪🤸‍♂️

[@MarkusK.]

Enjoy!

[@whitelineinmind]

It is one thing to hear of the music….and another to see it…yet the most grandest of all things about music is to be able to physically feel of it. I so savoured feeling Markus K and his exquisite music as I felt the love being the sum and the truth of my human experience! Vibing with the tribe as it were….not thinking but feeling like one another. Kia ora. Arohanui all. 🌏💥

[@kennymartin2583]

Brilliant Markus. Loving your Blues vibe all the way.

[@bottleneckbobbridgemusic440]

Great arrangement of a great song and well performed 👍

[@jean-gabrielgiraud7946]

....une atmosphère lyrique bluesy-dingo. Un pur délice musical. Merci Markus 🎸

[@BytebroUK]

I've sung this with a 'man chorus' a few years ago. Loving your version, and the pipe-fitting slide is wonderful , and the small person was a joy. Oh, and Chester is a pretty city, for sure!

[@bikesatthebrewery9052]

I'm glad someone else noticed the copper pipe tee fitting.

[@chrisfurniss3073]

Brillant version of classic song ❤🎉

[@brentcunliffe745]

Gotta agree with the other comments. This is smokin’ stuff. By far above most, if not all , of the street buskers I have seen. 5 stars.

[@JamesDickson-vs5of]

Thanks Markus,for your music and your patience, I can hear you brother 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 happy healthy peace ✌️

[@thesage4729]

That was damn good sort of Ry Cooder meets Tennessee Ernie Ford ... shame no one seemed in a hurry to chuck him a few dollars .

[@locomaikidj5167]

Markus K is the “New Legend” of Blues🤟🎸

[@paulbarnes5051]

Have listened to you loads Markus, this is without doubt is the best version of this record.

[@Nicole-and-Antonia]

Love the copper T pipe fitting he uses as his slide

[@broken927]

The first slide I ever bought was the same type, got it at the local hardware store. I have never seen one being used in the wild before.

[@Nicole-and-Antonia]

@@broken927 I've seen ppl use the neck of a beer bottle and I actually prefer the smooth sound of glass over copper.

[@flynnt1953]

Brilliant performance, just discovered Markus on Spotify by chance, which led me to see if there was anything on KZbin, so glad I found this, love the slide tone.

[@MarkusK.]

Cheers 🙂

[@primesspct2]

Nothing gives me goosebumps like a slide! Well done sir!

LOVELY! Kind Thanks and More Music! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Beautiful guitar great tone

[@SISU889]

Yes , for me the sound and tone sounds very near to Chris Rea's maranello.

[@Mundproductionfunkhaus]

@@SISU889 amazing

[@charlieclark102]

Love that old song brings back memoirs...

[@pandorski35000]

Original song by Merle Travis for those wondering

[@jacques3639]

Ce jeune bambin (2mn42) tellement respectueux de l’artiste n’est absolument pas hors contexte et sa jeune et charmante maman ,au demeurant, aussi bien élevée que lui, en est très fier ! Une photo souvenir ? Y’a t-il vraiment de l’eau dans la bouteille de cette jeune mère ?

[@paulbeasley5026]

Awesome

[@MrConan89]

At 77 I performed that song tonight at my regular Saturday gig, just me and nothing else. I chose this song as after 2 hours my fingers needed a rest.

[@darylhudson366]

Another Brilliante Song you are a star

[@jimcook8933]

I'd be pulling out a lounge chair and some cold barley pops and having a picnic!! Wow.

[@billylynes8187]

love your playing man

[@primesspct2]

Don't every one reach for their wallets at once! The kid was the only one I saw willing to give his toy! He certainly deserved a buck or 10$ Don't you think so? Truly talented on the slide guitar! Love what you did with an old classic, gave it new life, its fresh again! p.s. was going to throw the proverbial dollar in, busking You tube style. But I see you don't have a thanks button or a buy me a coffee. Something to think about.

[@MarkusK.]

You can be generous here 🙂 markus-k.bandcamp.com/

[@axelsauter238]

Great Song u are so good 😊

[@professorpopkiss]

I've seen it all now, copper T pipe fitment for a slide. reminds me of Jack Broadbent with his silver Hipflask Slide.

[@nathanpayne7598]

Great job. Keep up the great work, outstanding voice

[@geoffreyhattersley9186]

Absolutely fabulous

[@daviemcf]

Fantastic blues Markus. 🎸🎸👍

[@TBlanktim]

Loved the copper 3/4 "T" fitting.

[@julievann9834]

Wow wow👌👍💯😎🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@risingphoenix8072]

I grew up with this song and love this interpretation. The company store was a real thing in America, on cotton plantations or other work farms.

[@philhawley1219]

The company store was common in Britain too .

[@katiedotson704]

Coal mine companies across Appalachia as well. Then cotton mills did one better. In addition to the company store, they bought up large acres of land and built houses to rent to the employees. Quite often these would be two family duplexes with very reasonable rental rates, that were taken from your check each pay period. But if you lost your job, your family would be immediately evicted and any rent due or money owed to the company store would be taken from your last check.

[@paulofreire7520]

That was pretty awesome, my man! 👍🏻

[@smitmachinale8281]

Nice slide guitar, love it!

[@DennisForero]

That guitar riff has the heaviest sound in all Mississippi

[@bluemchen6162]

Great! Thank you so much. ❤

[@NINETHIRTY930]

That tone is killer!

[@alglauser461]

Markus K Ist super,coole Blues Groovs Mag das einfach super

[@Dadymilles13]

Bravo merci Markus fantastique good blues....bonne journée musicalement....

[@karatefightfitnessdrills5430]

People sold their soul to their company store (job). You worked all your life for 45 yrs. You retire 65 yrs old and still broke. 😁😁

[@meagainandagain5756]

In many mines and other isolated worksites there was a general store. You bought everything there. Food, cigarettes and booze. You could have a tab, and at the end of the month you hand in your check. The store was owned by the company.

[@jderoma4382]

Sorry, I need to correct you a little here. The company store was literally a store owned and run by the mining company. The mines were pretty remote and the miners often stayed in camps by the mine and had to buy all their food, clothes, etc, at the company store for what were usually high prices. So the effect was that, yeah the mining company paid you, but you ended up spending all your money at the company store, often going into debt.

[@gilesellis8002]

Dah Blues are Eternal, Keep Rocking,

[@backslang]

That dad was the only one who thought it was funny to let his kid interfere and run around the performer even putting his toy on his mat! Ps good cover too!

[@TimmsMJ]

I think that's a 'mother', but yes indeed, what ignorance and arrogance to let the child near the equipment just so's she could get a cute shot. No respect.

[@Clarence10169]

@@TimmsMJ I thought damn what great concentration he has and didn't even get mad at the kid

[@krisrobert8054]

Fortiche le mec non seulement il joue comme un dieu mais en plus il a une voix de dingue. Cool mec😍👍👍

[@ibilly99]

Cracking stuff Markus - haven't seen anything less than a brilliant video as I move from your legacy.

Thanks!

Well done Marcus! Excellent recording by the way.
