Bukka White-Got Sick And Tired

A legendary Delta blues singer and guitarist!

[@timothyscott3116]

Bukka's got some hits... good tune..

[@Lori-yo3xd]

My grandfather.. .. Bukka White played for us whenever he came home to Aberdeen, MS... my sisters, brother, an I would dance, dance, dance. Sometimes the world don't give back to people who greatly deserve their shining star until they are above them. R. I. P. Big Daddy

[@Zebra902]

Lord have mercy.......I saw Bukka White MANY years ago.......and yes, I'm old. He was just the nuts! Couldn't keep my feet still. He died a few years after I saw him.

[@mebloke69]

the man from the land where the blues began

[@charliesideshow8400]

Oh yes! I LOVE that! Bukka is just amazing!

[@christophermoon5126]

bukka makes you wanna catch a train and get outta town. love it

[@roberttuss5349]

Bukka White playing his National Resonator (steel) guitar. It just don't get no damn better 'n this!

[@mistressbladez]

The album this is of of is the hardest and heaviest 'accoustic' album in existence... makes a lot of heavy metal sound limp. Like he's just slamming that resonator upside u head. One of the true originals of American music.

[@_PROLAPS_]

The best stuff I've ever heard in my entire life

[@kipponi]

It really is❤.

[@kipponi]

This is so raw playing and singing.Guitar gets really beat up. I never be tired with this song.Even song name is sick and tired.

[@coravisser3846]

Respect for Bukka WHite what a legend he was.Thank you srvfan79 for these upload of him.

[@klogghopper]

I cant think of any words that would do this footage justice, Bukka white sings and the hairs on the back of ma neck stand up. White Stripes,the stones,led zep, and a thousand other bands , just have to bow down . I ever go to the USA I am going to track down where he is buried and pay my respects.

[@barba666ruiva]

what amazes me most about the oldtime blues masters (bukka himself, son house, blind lemmon, etc) is how they managed to sound like a whole band with just an acoustic guitar-dobro

[@fuzzface8252]

That's a National, not a Dobro. National was first, then the Dopyera brothers left National, and created a wood bodied resonator with an outward facing cone, and advertised it as being louder than a National. The thing is, John Dopyera continued to hold stock in National, while running Dobro, in 32, he bought National.

[@bradkelley8732]

@@fuzzface8252 I always think of a Dobro as not being playable by fretting, that the action is too high, so it's usually played on one's lap, or with the top facing up. All the Nationals I've seen had high action, for slide, but were frettable. Is that how you think of it?

[@irenevr]

Add Mississippi Fred McDowell to that list. Man was a 5 piece band.

[@tomitstube]

bukka is what the delta blues is all about, man is a genius.

[@jimmcallister]

Bukka was BB King's second cousin, you know. Amazing that the same gene pool could produce two such radically different performers. I used to perform songs like this in the mid 1970s in a coffee shop in town every Wednesday night, along with more up to date material of course so they'd have me back the following week. Having that slide guitar was handy too. One night I went straight from 'Broke Down Engine' to 'Long Tall Glasses' by Leo Sayer when someone in the crowd yelled for it.

[@sanoj1969]

What a voice!!Pure energy!!

[@rmurbach1961]

Bukka White gave his cousin B.B. King his first guitar. They actually played the Memphis Blues circuit together when BB was fresh out of the Army in the late 1940's

[@ABevs]

No one can rock giant polka dots like Bukka.

[@DanSkorsky]

Bukka plays, Skip thinks "I hate this country bottleneck sound: just let me play with my superior fingerpicking style". Son just thinks "I would kill a newborn baby for a drink, now".

[@mikedickman9623]

that made me laugh! - thanks :)

[@tortugabob]

Son would do no such thing. Listen to "Death Letter" , "John the Revelator" and say ten Hail Marys for this grave sin.

[@DanSkorsky]

@@tortugabob 😂🤣

[@Nick-dc3vv]

That’s Son for ya

[@bellinghammond]

hypnotic perfection

[@blacknuss6]

claude have mercy !!! lol....bukka RIPS this !!! funkier than a batch of old greens !!!!

[@srvfan79]

You got it! Skip James recorded 2 tunes in this session: "Crow Jane" & "all night long". On his left Son House performed "death letter" later!!! Those 3 videos are avaible on YT ;)

[@greenmorris37]

Skip James and Son House. Can you imagine? we'll never see the likes of these people again. Sad!

[@douglaspaterson5269]

I'M STILL KICKIN'!😉🎸👹

[@frabber321]

This sounds so fat and awesome, I am not even sure if I am only hearing one guitar.

[@bornfedslaughter]

Dayum. All these heavyweights in one room!

[@rievans57]

I was thinking the same thing. Off to the side is Lil' Walter, Hounddog Taylor, Koko Taylor, Sonny Terry, Browhnie McGhee. Amzing.

[@stuartmackinnon3063]

I once made a good friend of mine watch this, her only reply after five minutes was: “What a horrible shirt”. Consequently we haven’t spoken for several years.

[@auldmansbaccie4647]

Hahahaha!

[@kc2dtp]

The sweater is quite horrid- but who cares. Bukka White is wonderful.

[@turbodreiecksmann]

the only accurate rection!

[@Name-el9ps]

And she’s even wrong about the shirt!!

[@greenmorris37]

I am glad this is back again, fantastic bit of music.

[@ConcezioPellegrini]

FANTASTIC.

[@pipewatcher]

i work 6 days in the week, and i don't draw no dough! love skip in the background! thanks for the post!!

[@crassflam8830]

Skip James chillin on the side

[@dennisdistant]

If you ever need to explain to someone what Delta Blues is you can show them this video.

[@greenmorris37]

Long ago I showed this clip to a friend, I love this song so much that I really wanted her opinion, all she could say afterwards was, "I don't like his shirt". What a reflection upon today's society. Subsequently we are also no longer friends.

[@manicap1]

what a trinity!

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Sweet accoustic slide, the song, his voice, and these guys playin so tite! Where fancy electronics just were not necessary. Thanks!

[@blacknuss6]

bukka is Hittin IT !!

[@kipponi]

Really smashing it !

[@acoustcarchive]

WOW Amazing never seen this footage before its bloody wonderful

[@rievans57]

Skip James and Son House lying in the cut. The Fathers of Modern Music. Awesome!

[@caryboyd2181]

Master of the Duolian.

[@flintmichigan1]

sick and tired .. the world over.. rise upX

[@PPOIRI000]

We're lucky to have this to influence our taste/play but those guys created the shit, it's mindblowing..... America, apologize to all the still alive relatives of these giant pionneers who gave this country it's greatest heritage and left this world without the proper acknowledgment!

[@kipponi]

This song name should be Raw and Crumpy. Guitar got some serious beating.

[@tygbro]

Awesome talent!

[@JPRBlues]

Some blues at it's best 10/10...Peace...Jake

[@BrotherDegeOfficial]

Thanks for posting this again. It had disappeared for a while.

[@banjochris]

@fuxgood This was recorded for Danish TV in Copenhagen in 1967 during the American Folk Blues Festival tour. There is other footage of these three recorded at Newport with Howling Wolf but it's a different session,

[@6t4eldo]

love that gravelly voice along with howlin' wolf's !

[@elpanchito421]

4:15 - that shot is priceless.

[@Wilburjr2279]

Lyrics are even common for today: "Don't want to work for my room and board" still the same old tune in today's society!!

[@etheangel2220]

havent seen this one for a bit. thanx for bringing it back

[@TheFolkandBluesVampire259]

dude, thats awesome.

[@joshboyle1]

I'm fresh out the psych ward and I gotta ask? Is this the best song ever?

[@vancity6757]

You probably would have got out sooner if they were playing good Delta blues

[@Voltaire1955]

I play several resonator guitars and when I bottleneck them it drives my wife crazy-I think I'll buy a reso mandolin next.

[@johnfeepassword6390]

Marquis : good crazy?

[@tdb517]

My father used to tell how they went to Bukka's house and enjoy sausage beer and blues music all night long

[@supermabel1]

Hey! No point falling out over a shirt! And some people just don't appreciate this stuff. Their loss.

[@vancity6757]

What a powerful voice --- Notice Skip James sitting just to the left of Bukka in the first 15 seconds of the video ?

[@NoRosesForMe]

Yep. Personally Im damn tired of workin. Never thought Id say that or even think it. Been in dirty hot factories most of my life. Talkin 'bout sick n tired...sheesh....damn that hehe x ♥ "Jen"

[@blacknuss6]

and with skip james and sunhouse on deck !

[@rodjohnson3727]

3 CROWNS in one room 😂💪🏼

[@rossduncan9505]

It"s easy,this is a kick ass tune man.

[@etheangel2220]

Sonny and Brownie also performed. I forget what song though, but I remember Brownie getting down on that kazoo

[@fuxgood]

@srvfan79 I think this was recorded backstage at Newport. Son House, Skip james, Wolf all had this same background.

[@fuxgood]

@banjochris Thanks for correcting me. Knew I had seen this same background in other recordings and Newport came to mind.

[@Vanillablooos]

Very, very awesome!!!!

[@srvfan79]

"Stranger blues", "burnt child(afraid of fire)", and "Gonna move across the river".

[@ladyraven30]

My goodness, my goodness!!

[@zmirecki]

When and where was this recorded? I'd love to see the rest of the the video with the other guys playing too.

[@alan19770211]

wonderful

[@filiphopo]

What album is this on? Really amazing and I really want it! Is it just Bukka on that album or is Skim and Son House also on it?

[@slawekwojnarowski3360]

Super ! Slawek

[@ray8up]

wow!

[@javonblue]

it was the jazz seen and heard tv show in germany

[@jessupar]

Is that skip james behind him? the guy in the middle? it looks like the place "Crow Jane" was recorded in, but since youtube quality-killed it i cant tell.

[@CigaretteCandy]

I love how no one disliked this

[@ray8up]

Thanks!

[@DAVO1984FI]

Huge

[@kidpink]

hey thats son house all the way to the right, at the beginning... wish i was there! heh

[@donquicke]

How come I can't find this song anywhere? i tunes has all his stuff but not this one.......

[@BigBossGator]

Was this on the Johnny Case show? It kinda looks like one of their sets.

[@banjochris]

Open E minor (EBEGBE) -- although he may be tuned up or down of concert pitch, I didn't check.

[@sonnygerd]

Why the hell did'nt Wenders show at least one song of him in his moviez???

[@56BUICKRiviera]

Yep and the guy on the far right is Son House. They badder than Shaft, Superfly, James Bond and Kung Fu all rolled up in one!

[@rossduncan9505]

what tuning is he in,I'm thinking it"s open D or a sloppy E, what do you think?.

[@teeoh9192]

F sharp. I'm playing along on my bass to it right now.

[@rossduncan9505]

There"s a F# open tuning,what is it ? d a d f# a d ?.

[@teeoh9192]

It's Open E Minor.

[@teeoh9192]

Also, if you notice, his F# is played the way you would an two string open A power chord. The Tuning goes: E, F#, G, A, B, C.

[@grandmasterflash]

what tuning is this in??

[@clarkwilliams808]

@1:04. love that

[@jessupar]

Ah cool, so it was Skippy. probly the best musicians on the face of the earth there that day... what a shame none are alive for my generation (out of these guys i mean. i know there are a few around still like BB King or Buddy Guy)

[@benraftery4256]

some one please help where is this video from and is their an extended version with all three artists playing one after eachother?

[@gseritt7653]

its from The American Folk Blues Festival tours. there are dvds available

[@augustinegenoa]

[@paul_domici]

This is where Zepp got it from,,,

[@POLlyy23]

[@6t4eldo]

Brief shot of Sonny Terry in there.

[@mdpocoroba]

[@Lori-yo3xd]

1:03 1:13 1:15

[@BIGBabyBrowneBlues]

What tune is this

[@jacksondemarre8057]

[@digitalsickness4]

Gary Waits my baby she got on the lil canonball, the canonball come as easy as all, my baby came and said what you done to lil niece, she said daddy have mercy gon be bad if he dont beat on me.

[@Tubascope]

That would be Skip James

[@Zinthek]

Haha, probably not very far away from the truth!

[@lbizWHUT]

oh man... now i'm embarrassed

[@gowithgroove]

you are drunk

[@busessuck1]

She struck fire... that's awsome ...it's interesting how both the cameraman and myself were completely distracted by James and House even though they were just sitting there not doing anything
