Christone "Kingfish" Ingram - Live At The Ground Zero Blues Club (Full Performance)

[@mechcavandy986]

I’m from his hometown, Clarksdale, Mississippi. And I’ve been following this kid since he was 12 years old. He was a child prodigy. Buddy Guy and BB King took him under wing. You can hear Guy’s influence. Kingfish is carrying the torch! 💙🎸💙🎸

[@chloewinkworthartist]

yeah he really sounds like buddy guy...but he plays both of em.under the table

[@chloewinkworthartist]

i been jammin on buddy guy cds ,the bands are always smokin, tryin to absorb some flavour ,even though im old ...i was thinkin my heart was mistaken when my leg gets excited about the blues, but this makes me want it bad💋band is hot.

[@chloewinkworthartist]

thanx for your commentary, it makes me not feel so bad about not havin all these mad chops ,he makes stevie ray ģet the shiver

After listening to '60 - '70's music for years on end I kinda gave up hope on new artists.

Heck, most don't even make it beyond their local markets and their local night club scenes. That's the real shame, not that there aren't kids making awesome music anymore, but that most people just never get to hear it.

I'm with you been a classic rock fan mainly because I lived it. About 10 years ago I heard Gary Moore by chance and he was my hero. Only a few weeks ago I heard Joe Bonamassa and I instantly loved everything he did. Last night a friend told me about Kingfish. I hope I live long enough to hear him reach the top of his mountain. Awesome!

[@buddyboy6071]

So the 1st artist you have found after 60's and 70's artists are Gary Clark Jr and Kingfish! You really need to listen to more music. Derek Trucks and Marcus King of the top of my head are definitely 2 you should check out. There are loads more. To be fair, Stevie Ray Vaughan is 80's as well.

These guys got me clapping my hands at home though. I think most of the time I find it's harder to clap for someone when watching a video or just listening to someone's music especially when I'm chillin on my own in the early hours of a morning. Maybe it's just me though, I might dance or sing, tap my foot or nod my head to many tracks but before now I've found clapping and applause to only find context as communication based social construct. So I really think I gotta give this man more respect for changing my view. Idk how but it actually changed my mood entirely & I feel I heard the music better than when I dance, sing and etc lol 😎

[@Destins2]

Kingfish is from my hometown trust me the majority of the time he plays at ground zero it’s a packed house
