[@mikec6822]

These songs are sacred............They're American Blues Hymms. Thank you for treating them with such respect and staying true to the original recordings.

[@blue-fj9ky]

That’s an hour of my life I’ve just got back…. If I watch that on repeat I could be 17 again by 2062 … so much brings you down, but the blues can inspire and lift. Thanks.

Man Edward , if you ain’t the Blues Thank you so very much Mr Edward Bluesman Phillips!

[@willgreen6367]

Also no one seems to mention. How great of a singer you are!!!

[@anthonyeastham7960]

Thank you for the best picking and singing I have heard. It made me forget my complaints, and brought joy!

[@Jay-ef2ii]

Been to my Crossroads, and discovered Christ God.

[@JohnFerrisMusic]

Great performance! Keeping the blues alive! Thanks for all you do, Edward!

[@gregborneman5523]

That was one fine hour.

[@baronvg]

Some genres are just chef’s kiss. This is one of them.

[@weika1000]

Please forgive my consumerist approach but I'm so glad to have a playlist from him!! The thing will accompany me....

[@joel6221]

i want to move next door to this guy so i can come home every damn day and hear him sing.

[@hughcameron]

When I heard you play Crossroads Blues a couple of years back, you inspired me to buy a Parlor guitar and play these Blues. Thank you Mr Blues.

[@yendor6840]

Edward Phillips you are AWESOME. The history of the blues is still alive and well thanks to guys like you. Nothing better than a man (or woman) singing and playing the guitar with nothing else in-between. Hope you keep doing it till the day you die brother

[@JordieFilip]

Great pickin' and singin' as per usual Edward. Takes me right back in time to the deep south in the 30's keep it up friend!

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Nice collection of blues tunes, sounds great. Thanks my friend.

[@andydixon2980]

This guy is the business. Finger style on 'Mojo Risin' is super quick and in the pocket.

[@Mr22thou]

One thing I like about authentic renditions of old recordings like this ('40s Big Band is another example), is that as much as I love the familiar old analog sound and sometimes the sound of the scratchy old records, is that these are almost certainly closer to what it would have sounded like to hear Robert Johnson, Benny Goodman, and so on. Glad I have both options here on YT.

[@federicoamalfitani1162]

Great compilation Some suggestions for next time: Spoonful blues Good morning little school girl Smokestack lightnin Black snake moan St James Infirmary blues Poor boy long way from home Last kind words blues Dry spell blues Farther along (gospel song) Come around to my house mama Worried life blues Pistol slappin blues Motherless children Samson and Delilah Pony Blues

[@ringosgringos5593]

Does motherless children refer to "motherless child blues" by elvie Thomas or is it another song

[@mosy9272]

Thank you so much, Edward. But once again, if it isn't too much trouble, put all these tracks on Bandcamp. Quite a bunch of us will be very glad to pay for the music you bless us with.

[@owatagusiam8958]

Thank you soooo much for keeping source music alive, I love your voice/ playing virtuosity, you are possessed of power,blessings. I will follow you. This music must be kept alive!

[@georgeborrego7483]

I enjoyed that very much.I love fingerpicking and slide blues and he does an awesome job playing and singing it.

[@chrismiller3650]

He should put all these on an album

[@ronseverin7818]

No sweeter sound, then a slide on an acoustic guitar. That was awesome

[@stefanschleps8758]

No matter what it is, the blues will see you through!

[@sp1582]

What a good choice, for the beginning. youth must return to the roots, music that can only be played and sung by those who do it with their soul

[@davisworth5114]

Love the Robt. Petway number, you have a nice style and strong vocals, I started playing in 1969 when I got home from Vietnam, then I saw Fred McDowell at a Seattle Folklore Society concert and was hooked. Then I became concert promoter and we booked all the original bluesmen to come up a do a few gigs. I was very blessed to play with the greats, even got some Robert Johnson stories from Johnny Shines, Booka White once asked me what happened to Washboard Sam. They got separated over the years, Bukka used to stay on my friends' houseboat on Lake Union, he dug Seattle. That's a sweet resonator there, I have a Jay Turser. Keep pickin!!!

[@sixslinger9951]

right when you opened with Crossroads, I swore you were Robert Johnson without the scratches from the record !

[@jongrunert8602]

Thanks brother, love the old tunes. I feel like I've learned a lot just watching an listening to you

[@barnsrodsandheavymetal8439]

Top of the heap! No question..., No doubt!. Beautiful assembly! Thank you Ed.

[@charlieleonardo]

Absolutely fabulous!

[@guillermocubedo8372]

Every time I listen to it, I'm completely amazed by the quality of your interpretations. It's simply magnificent, or even more so... Words cannot describe it. Thank you for all this beauty!

[@rosafalls8068]

A minute in and it already sounds like I'll get an hour back of life lost, too, as other comments say....

[@jean-pierrecadore6063]

You are unquestionably a true blues player and a great one at that ! I hope my english is not too clumsy ! Thanks !

[@Dreadlocks512]

I added this compilation to my "Best musicians at their best" Playlist.

[@ckosulin]

I'm an old guitar player. I love what you do and how you do it. Could you please include your tunings in your description of the songs.

[@shawnnaughton3479]

[@rickycarter7154]

Thanks Mr. Phillips. You kicked ass as usual!

[@underthe1104]

Man that’s good 💩. Keep the blue’s comin’!

[@markawestern]

The fact that you have less than 10 million subscribers is a fucking crime💯

[@23querent]

Like Keith Richards supposedly said about Robert Johnson, "...yeah, but who are the other two guys playing with him?"

[@gen6208]

Meraviglioso! Saluti dall'Italia!

[@chriscampbell9191]

Mr. Phillips, as a slide player I really get a lot out of your vids, as they are such informative examples of Delta and old acoustic blues, and you also sound so good doing it. Your renditions are a pleasure to listen to. But it's also so cool that you are keeping the flame of such old styles and the old songs alive.

[@awesomeisasawesomedoesyo182]

Damn! Edward you are a helluva blues man. Thank you for these wonderful sounds. Looking forward to following you.

[@TL-072]

I guess I'm in love with your guitar man xD

Wow I am just blown away by how great this is! Edward, if you had been around in the late 60s you'd have become rich and famous in a few years. I saw all the great bands back then. You could have been on the bill with Canned Heat, Butterfield, B.B, so many others. All the best you're the real deal!
