Canadian Legend 🇨🇦🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@sdnyhamilton]

It’s a shame how underrated this guy is. He’s so freaking talented and he’s got RANGE. Rock, blues, jazz, swing...

[@Celtic4Life9]

Put on a great show in Vancouver last night Had all the 'oldies' rockin the house Great performer and played for two hours straight LEGEND

[@lauralee7930]

Extremely underrated artist. Phenomenal work

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

COLIN JAMES is the GUITAR GOD that many still have Yet To Discover! Incredible #Songwriter with an AWESOME Band, too!!!

[@Shadow-sm8hs]

We need a 2160 version of this one. HD audio and video really adds so much.

[@brucemorrison9600]

[@marshfilm]

If you're a rock musician in Canada you've played this song a thousand times.

[@RaeZoladawn777]

Xxxxxx colin james loves xxx his shit just rocks so glad I grew up with this

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

[@bates0077]

My hometown boy,Regina Saskatchewan..Very underrated guitar player.He can strum with the best.All that pizza from my brothers joint paid off.

[@semireckless]

He's actually from Griffin, SK.

[@zaltanageorginathompson5370]

Gawd I wish the volume was a lot louder than this...damn it!!!

[@dragonladee3721]

WE HAVE AWESOME MUSICIANS IN CANADA.... Makes me proud! Love Colin and I am an old lady now but he gets me out of my chair......ohhhhhhhh yeah!

[@pinup_charmer3348]

+Dragon Ladee You got that right! My old body aches but up I get!

[@louisemay3078]

Dragon Ladee I agree! Omg! Im also much older now BUT when I HEAR this I WANNA move like that again!

[@timhoovermusicman]

Yes you do!

[@Shadow-sm8hs]

Always loved his guitar work...probably cause I play myself and recognize a superb guitar player when I hear one. His voice is pretty awesome as well, just never paid attention before.

[@darleenfisher8158]

Love this yeah

[@BigDogBlues]

I was drowning in the shit that was on radio playlists back then when I'm driving my truck and THIS came on! I had to pull off to the side of the road and crank it up! Amazing artist then and still is. Rock on, Colin!

[@lloydertel1]

many of us did.. or we all got traffic tickets

[@Lamporre]

This is him when he was still that boy wonder who Stevie Ray Vaughan mentored. It's awesome that he's been able to keep his momentum by expanding his genres and experimenting with his music style over the years. Truly one of Canada's best living musicians.

[@dantinaduo6566]

Well there is not much more you can say about this guy that hasn't already been said. When you're that good, you get to stick around for decades.... going on 4th decade right? Right! Great work Colin.....

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

True... But Sadly, too many Musicians and dedicated Blues Fans have yet to #Discover COLIN JAMES and his #Magnificent Band!

[@cherylhuculak6724]

Isn't that the truth! I've been loving his music since 1988!!! He was awesome then and awesome now! Truly! Thanks for the songs Colin!

[@lostfound7275]

I had the cassette tap in the 80's when i was a kid, plus im in canada

[@kagomefan101]

This guy is WAY underrated! Colin's voice is awesome and his guitar prowess is amazing. I think Colin should rank right up there with Bryan Adams and Colin's mentor Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@pauletteperrin8819]

I saw him on my Birthday in 1992 at The Highlands Hotel in Cambridge Ontario, Up close and personal in a small venue where the college kids just didn't get it. My girlfriends and I did as we stood right in front of the stage...just us 4. That song still gets this old girl rockin'

[@vernonhills9468]

Yippee Ki Yay 2022 Colin still blasting

[@lazydaizy042]

played in Moncton NB for 2 hours for free on Canada Day!! and played this song was super happy!!

[@Mymumsey1]

That guitar solo gets me every time.

[@cameroncummings6020]

One of the funniest solos to play man. Sure it's fun playing trash/ Van halen solos, but god damn is it fun to trade it in for that voodoo thing! So happy I got to see him live. Got his autograph too

[@sambambina8063]

"She can make a King from an ordinary man" something so sexy about that line that makes women feel incredibly powerful on the dance floor! Love Colin James! You are a Canadian Icon xo

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

Women ARE really POWERFUL... In fact, this track is simply understating it, RIGHT? LOL

[@brendasmith4733]

Luv luv luv him! I've seen him many times❤

[@15Beaches]

[@kevinpoole731]

Has always been one Canada's best.

[@MrSteviesTV]

One really good Canadian musician.....cheers.

[@heartsonnoses]

What a GREAT fucking song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lloydertel1]

i have seen him play 5 times.. and all 5 times I came away blown away. just too made he was never given the shot. because he was Canadian. match his guitar with Bryan Adams. the sound a lot alike

[@ShannonsChannel]

One of my all time favorite songs. And he was great in concert!

[@florentpagny2921]

Thank you for your sincere compliment, love and support I really appreciate you for being a fan of mine and I would like to know you. Hope you don’t mind?

[@ShannonsChannel]

@@florentpagny2921 I'm pretty sure that comment didn't come from Colin, but it would be super cool if it did, lol.

[@florentpagny2921]

@@ShannonsChannel Thank you. And I would like to know where you from?

[@timhoovermusicman]

He was supposed to open for Kenny Wayne shepherd band at revolution hall in Portland 2 years ago... Concert Finally happened last week but unfortunately he wasn't there.

[@falconeaterf15]

He's thinking......I wish all my crowds were like this !.........

[@theshawnmurphyjournal2946]

saw him at the palace nightclub halifax amazing show sold out club the year r 1990

[@excellinkus]

Way down south, where the mangroves grow Deep in the swamp down in the Bayou There's a little story that's never been told About a pretty widow who never grows old And how she buried her soul with her wedding ring Traded it off for that voodoo thing She moves like the wind got a fire in her eyes Well, she can bring down rain from the clear blue skies Make the sun go down with a wave of her hand Well, she can make a king of an ordinary man She's gonna make you dance, she's gonna make you sing When she gives you some of that voodoo thing Ooh my voodoo thing Like a heart held close to the edge of a knife One kiss from her lips turn my blood turn to ice I tried to run by the light of the moon I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too soon Well, she made me dance and she made me scream Did she give me some of that voodoo thing? The voodoo thing, ooh, my voodoo thing Colin James WROTE this song.

[@Celtic4Life9]

And he can still rock it too They entered the venue last night as the lights dimmed and started playing it, as they walked down the aisle, past the audience (right past our seats) and up onto the stage, never missing a beat The place went nuts, and it was two hours, of rock, blues, swing, and Fleetwood mac's Green Manalishi, memories are made of this Guy's a LEGEND

[@Nitro1970]

Probably my favourite Colin James song....Just love it!!

I was recently at the ministry getting my drivers license, and while doing the eye exam, two of the employees told me I was a spitting image of a young Colin James.

It's kind of ironic that Colin grew up on a farm near a very small town on the Canadian prairies; a looooong way from any bayou.
