Bukka White was BB Kings' cousin and he helped BB get his start in Memphis. I got to play with Bukka when he was in Seattle, a very friendly person, he had a very hard life and his recordings in 1940 when Lester Melrose got him out of Parchman Farm were considered the last country blues recording, and it was great and included songs that were political statements about the southern "justice" system.

@@AJ-xy5ji Simply put, I had to keep reminding myself that i was with blues Royalty! .........because he was so sweet and unassuming. a man.... he was a regular guy :) ,,,,,,,,another musician, though much ..older....offstage I mean :) for example, one of my tunes was "Sporting Life" that I learned from a Lovin' Spoonful Lp.... (I had no idea that it was.a Brownie McGhee tune at the time..... .but neither did Skip lol ).. At any rate he asked me to teach him the song (my arrangement)... but i said, "Skip, that's against all the rules! You are a great bluesman ... I should be begging you to teach me!!! " But he insisted, and I did teach him the tune as I played it. It shocked me that he learned it so fast and went immediately to the piano situated against the far wall... (I had no clue that he played piano.. and he was great too.. his own style..) as he was playing it, he motioned for me to come over and join him in a duet.. which I did... and for the rest of his tenure ( a week I believe) we played that tune together before his set as segue between my opening set and his own. He invited me to come to Newport, which i did, and he inro'd me to Bukka and Son, and asked me to join him onstage after his set to play our duet together... and then !! to do a set of my own ... (Bukka was none too pleased to hear this invite :) It was at that minute that I realized I had no place on that hallowed stage with those men.... it was their time and .. .FOR REAL-- their music. I never stopped playing or loving the blues, but did entirely stop trying to be in any way a "Bluesman," because I learned what it was to BE one... up close and personal. Of course that moment has stayed with me -- as if it happened yesterday.. I will never forget Skip James.. the great bluesman who befriended me.

Thanks for posting this, I saw this a long time ago: "Giants Of Mississippi Delta Blues". Bukka White was in great form, just perfect, like time had never passed since his recordings in the 1930s and especially his 1940 session (Parchman Farm Blues); he might have never met Charley Patton (unlike Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker or Pops Staples), but he might have seen him playing live as his style is derivative of some of Patton's songs (Patton had a huge repertoire made of all kinds of songs: Blues, Rags, ballads, spirituals, Folk songs, etc.. and sold lots of records until his death in 1934). White made good records until he died in the late 1970s. The song he does here - Aberdeen, Mississippi Blues - was his signature song. Son House unfortunately was an alcoholic, he could hardly play in the '60s (his guitar is also out of tune here) and in fact in the '60s he recorded some songs - like John The Revelator - a' cappella. John Hammond Sr managed to get House to record one album for Columbia/CBS - Death Letter Blues - in 1965 (or '66), Canned Heat's Al Wilson had to coach House about playing his old songs; House had stopped playing in the 1940s when his best friend and music partner Willie Brown died. House was a janitor in Rochester, New York when he was "re-discovered" in the 1960s. In the 1920s and '30s he did not play a National, he wasn't even used to play resonator/steel guitars. The guitars he and Patton (who got House to record three 2-part songs in 1930: Preaching The Blues, My Black Mama and Dry Spell Blues) were Stella acoustic guitars which were loud, with great resonance. House was very religious, he had been a preacher, didn't drink and was against playing the Blues until he met Patton... Skip James was somewhat out of form but he could still do it. He was ill, he had a tumor on his penis which he attributed to voodoo done to him by a woman. He died in 1970 after cutting a couple of good albums (Skip James Today and Devil Got My Woman) in the late '60s. Skip James might have killed over 10 people in the 1920s and '30s working on levee camps, etc... He was a pimp and a bootlegger and even in the 1960s always carried a gun; in fact he had money and thought of making records only in 1931. If one pays attention, many of his songs mention killing people by shooting (Crow Jane, 22.20 Blues, etc..). He was as proficient on guitar as he was on piano, a rare instance of that. He tuned his guitar in open E minor and sang either as a soft tenor or in "faux" soprano, like here when he does Cherry Ball, unlike House and White who had the gravelly, rough voice typical of Delta Blues like Charley Patton (or Louie Armstrong who played Jazz in New Orleans, the very bottom of the Mississippi Delta - while Memphis, Tennessee is where the Mississippi Delta starts in the north). They all used open tunings, that's how Delta Blues is played - and used a slide, except for Skip James. There are 2 basic open tunings: open E and G (which they called "Spanish") and open A (which they called "Sevastopol"); Skip James was an exception by playing often in an open E minor tuning. Both House and White did time in prison for murder, committed in self-defence. I don't know about White, but House and James came from relatively well-off families and had a decent education. When I met John Lee Hooker, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, etc.. in the early 1990s, I discovered they were illiterate... Howlin' Wolf learned how to read and write when he was 50. Despite their personal shortcomings as all human beings, these guys laid the basis for all modern music; they were among the first singers/songwriters to record songs tailored for 3-minute long records (78s), with a 4/4 beat and guitar accompaniment. Of course, Robert Johnson is the best-known Delta Blues artist ever and the most innovative one: he laid the foundation of electric Blues and then Rock'n'Roll with his 29 songs recorded in 1936 and '37. When I was growing up these guys were my "heroes". If anyone is interested in hearing a modern, updated version of Delta Blues, my acoustic, Delta Blues-influenced album When My Train Comes is on KZbin... 🙂 kzbin.info/aero/PLJJEcBp43QgrV43oZ37YFqz7QD2QriAFm Terrific job, thanks again for uploading this!

​@ingridv2118 he definitely said it all, and in particular about Skip James from what I've read over the years. One side note is that the royalties from Cream recording I'm So Glad probably added several years to Skip's life. Cream gave royalties and credits to all their Blues artists covered by them. The money certainly helped with him getting proper medical treatment! I say this because it really bothers the $hit out of me how these Blues masters were extorted! They got the recognition alright, but not the rightfully earned money they had coming?

How great to see these three giants on stage together, telling their stories. I was at the Newport Folk Festival in '66, but this had faded from my memory. I had discovered Bukka White through John Fahey, and Son House through his record release of new recordings in 1965. It's such a contrast among the guitar and playing styles and voicings of these three. Just think of the influence that their music and personal presence had on a young Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters, and later musicians. So great seeing at the end, White playing with James comping!!

Skip is hilarious. As Son approaches the end, it looks like Skip is actually praying for it to be over. Bukka is just sitting there glowering. Personally, I totally loved it.

Bukka White rocking out! These guys were a big influence on the Stones, who brought this music back home to American kids. And Skip James' vocals, amazing! Then Son House makes you feel like you're right down in the Delta sitting on a porch with him.

Beauty is you can tell all these guys taught each other how to play these instruments by obviously long hours behind them. I had guitar greats I grew up to like SRV, who'd they have? The tuning are as unique and brilliant as the recordings thank goodness for capitalism and trying to capture this sound back in the day. Truly the best and above the rest.
