Frankie and Albert - Mississippi John Hurt

[@stellalush4547]

Christine...PLEASE COME BACK... I MISS YOUR MUSIC.

[@rimjobson]

Bikini pubes.

[@coachdoc49]

Your pickin not only gets the notes, but the whole feel, drive, syncopation. The whole ball of wax. Sounds more like John than all the folks playing it in open G. great version.

[@armandbourque2468]

Love, love love your voice.

[@Circlemaker24]

I've come back to your videos again and again for the last ten years, which is considerable since 10 years ago I was 18. Its hard to imagine someone of your deep feeling is doing 'well' in the common sense, but I hope you are still sharing the waters of sorrow and love of life from which these songs emerge for many years to come. Your gifts are needed and the have provided me with sustenance, delight, and a little more courage than I would otherwise be able to have. Many good blessings to you.

[@Circlemaker24]

Not to be too serious, but seriously it's been at least 10 years since I stumbled across your pickin' and I still come back frequently.

[@CA-or9ix]

I'm with this guy. Been coming back to these videos and this one especially since I first discovered Mississippi John Hurt when I was about 23, almost 10 years ago! And to be honest, with all due respect I prefer this version over Mississippi's!

[@pi286]

same, il prob see u again in 1-4 years

[@henryulric]

She's great, guys. But not coming back -_-. I guess it adds to the blues lore xD

[@collinhusbands8001]

Great cover from a great artist. I’m from Teoc Mississippi (where he was born) and the music community there swears by him. Glad to see good people still continuing his music. Beautiful cover from a song written nearly 100 years ago.

[@bucknampete]

This one caused the same dopey grinning euphoria that all your tunes do, but had an extra bonus--that gap, which is one of the best pauses ever. Even your silence sounds good! I say again, you are truly gifted, and I have set aside money for your CD.

[@donjameson8782]

Brilliant. It's my morning song now. Highly recommended while having the first coffee.

[@dvdbrkn]

Wonderful, just wonderful. You did a great job with song. You truly made it your own. Bravo.

[@messiahsez]

You are great!!!

[@VernAfterReading]

Something about how you do this one works better for me than even the MJH original. You made it your own. Love it. And he camera angle is the next best thing to a TAB. One more song to learn in a long list of goals...

[@scaredypicker]

Love the slightly overloaded mic, the singing and the masterful guitar playing. All comes together to make it sound awesome

[@fosjetson]

Really good rendition. The 1928 mjh version rolls in such an incredible way. And you got that going well.

[@thumbpickr1812]

Great picking, great singing@ Thanks.

[@adelmejbar6406]

One of the best cover i have evrr heard..thanks so much😊

[@thebeautypart2817]

Powerful. Sounds like a train.

[@RADNOR18938]

I came across your clips for the first time today while researching the great Skip James and now have listened to a bunch of your music. Wow. You're a terrific player, clearly with a real understanding of those great old players, excellent left and right hands, and even more importantly, great FEELING for this no-longer-quite-so-lost body of music. It's great to hear someone other than my crotchety old buddies and me showing love for it. Keep on truckin.

[@messiahsez]

This i shall learn.

[@adamb2673]

Good for you.

[@pi286]

+messiahsez sir i haven't heard ur version yet please post

[@anniefarr4373]

Then post up and teach us all the way down in OZ

[@daaanblank]

fancy seeing you here mate ://kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6GWeqmoobRrpbc this is my friend from New Zealand Elliot Brown, thats how i saw this video and found your comment. ^^

[@dinkopetrov5154]

so,4 years later now,did you? =D

[@6666SUPERDEVIL]

It has been years and I still get back to your video! Thank you!! ✨

[@fuciledacaccia]

Christine, You are waaaayyy better than a lot of the popular performers out there today....keep it up, girl....you have got SOME terrific talent....

[@gregbluesland9410]

Very interesting, not playing in Spanish tuning but in standard, key of A. Clever.

[@stellaguitars]

You are knocking my socks off! Terrific singing, beautiful playing, too!!

[@haroldpexa5335]

Too beautiful for words - the song itself, and your performance of it. Thank you.

[@twray1835]

Excellent work around the A-chord. Appreciate your bar chording and keeping true to MJH's work ethic. You are special!

[@LoayNotes]

Love the short hair, love the martin .... a big fan of your attitude,,

[@tommenzie2458]

I've been listening to this on a playlist of Mississippi John Hurt, the guitar is identical to his playing. Absolutely identical, it could have been him playing, brilliant.

[@jessegoodfellow1992]

This is great! Nice guitar playing, but I love the personality that come through. Loads of fun, and great music. I'd love to see you play live somewhere. I bet it'd be a hoot!

[@richardbusson5903]

I think I’m in love!

[@bhaktapaul1]

REALLY impressive! Such a nice voice.

[@CoAoW]

I love the memory lapse! I do that all the time and in this case it just added to the feels!

[@michaelohanlon9623]

This was the first GOOD blues video I saw on youtube. I mean, I thought and think still that this is profound, sexy, authentically 2000s and 1930s too. It's totally cool, atmospheric, and beautiful. So where in fuck are you? IPBN is needed by everyone. It's a frozen universe without you and your music! Moh

[@messiahsez]

Great finger style, great voice, great great great. Thanks.

[@lazpetr]

You sing/play so beautifully that I even love your pause. I think it adds to the song.

[@thalictba]

hhhhheeeyyy haircut!!! You continues the great player and singer!!! Go on!!

[@clevblue]

Great song choice as usual, great performance as usual! thank you

[@scottbryant7090]

How did I miss this before yesterday? Great stuff!

[@antonmikofsky2073]

I had the pleasure & honor of sitting a few feet from Mississippi John Hurt during his Oberlin concert April 15, 1965. The entire concert appeared on Vanguard Records as "Best of MJH" as though an anthology. In small print: Live at Oberlin College. So great, so beautiful. This song and Louis Collins are the most cinematic stories. MJH music is contrapuntal.

[@samuil_maxim]

IplayBanjoNow,...one of my all time favorite channels on you tube..:),..love this stuff, love couple of covers from the old blues masters,..awesome playing,...respect...!!!

[@MarkMaysey]

oh sweet lady, you don't know how much this has inspired me tonight, true american style picking, loved it love it, you can be I'll be listening to more and polishing my songwriting skills in hopes you might one day cover something I write. Awesome! Many Stars to You! You're already there in book, God speed ahead sweet child, loved you soul and spirit,...shit! loss for words, Damn this was so good!!! loved it.

[@ShinSkillet]

You make me see the beauty in this music.

[@jeremyreagan9085]

As a guitarist myself she is AAA lovely work and vocals.. I help she is making albums!!

[@MarkusBHZ]

Chills and chills! Woman, I can't believe my ears!

[@richardcorysghost]

I agree, Mr Jim, Christine's guitar sounds fabulous, and to me, its similar in tone to the guitar used by Mississippi John on the original.Great version. Like me, I suspect that Christine's fans have likely given up on her posting more videos, its been such a long time. Doesn't stop me hoping I'm wrong! Come on Christine, prove me wrong! I love your music.Always inspiring. Always top notch.

[@Fastwinstondoom]

This gave me goosebumps. Pure emotion, loved it :)

[@jonno52]

Another great one Chris, favourited. I like the dramatic pause ... was worried for a moment, but nothing stops you picking guitar!

[@buska100]

That is some damn fine playing & singing,breathing new life into an old classic song. Beautiful Guitar. Cheers

[@jessegiga]

You never disappoint - truly amazing (even the added "pause" fit well!) - really hope you play the Albany area sometime!! :{D

[@Labdunum]

U It's a year later and , I ditto what Marc said a year ago. Excellent finger picking ! I think, I need to get playing this. Really Hope to hear more and All The Best.

[@AnUntidyMess]

Absolutely stunning :) you really made this your own

[@donluke578]

Glad to hear you still pickin the guitar.....I don't know if you could make a banjo sound that good.....!!!

[@sandipchatterjee7746]

What an endearing style! Lovely voice, lovely guitar, lovely totals!!

[@Rafterman123]

Great to have you back

[@rplum712]

this is exactly what i wanted to hear. beautiful playin. beautiful guitar

[@MrAn0nym0us]

Only found this recently. Bravo! 👏

[@richardcorysghost]

Great recording, Christine, - top playing and top singing - record wherever you like, wear whatever you like--chew whatever you like while doing it -- it will still sound great - that's the important bit, with all due respect to other contributors! Its the Blues- whoever heard of such "rules" in Blues? Particularly in reference to a talent such as yourself. Thanks for posting.

[@katelynmckay3769]

Just saw a video of you playing in '08 and then this...wow you've been at it! Sounds great and very inspirational. I want to play like you some day.

[@blancaescalera1224]

What a talented lady!!! You're sooooooo cool!

[@bhaktapaul1]

That Bassline is just really awesome. I'm looking for another player, but its only you! I gotta get me some of that!

[@th3h3r0]

I recently learned frankie straight out of a tab book. Your version is great, I was rapt watching this.

[@mrdavet99]

Sounds great! You look so pensive. Love the guitar pickin'. Thanks for posting it.

[@alexcherryblossom1]

Best cover of this song !

[@wrc1210]

I have to stop watching videos like this. A few years ago I started taking guitar lessons. I progressed to the point where my teacher gave me the tablature for about 10 measures of an Open G version of this song. I practiced and practiced until finally I felt like it sounded pretty good. I was kind of proud of myself. I was just playing it tonight when I realized, you know, I've never even heard the original of this song. So I googled and found this. I suck.

[@cwxdaf152]

The long pause.....I'm a little in love.

[@KevinStork]

Fantastic! I hope you are still playing! .... the momentary lapse makes it complete and compelling, somehow ...

[@ChristopherCape]

just great. i love the pause of remembering the lyrics.

[@cobraferrariwars]

Just beautiful. Thank you.

[@perryriches3439]

Fantastic .. Love the slotted head Martin

[@anthony22heaton]

Beautiful. Keep that train a coming!!

[@wyattmims]

His syncopation is the thing..he had perfect feel..tough stuff..good job..don't you love Mississippi John Hurt!

[@gulfmountain]

John would love it!

[@Northsidepost]

Nice job! I have the 000-16 SGT too and love it for stuff like this. Parlor guitars and fingerpicking blues go together like Frankie & Jonny. Keep doing what you do and forget the haters - not one in a hundred of them have a video showing they could do better. Most of them live in their parent's basements and post cynical comments to make themselves feel better, and are trying in vain to make up for all the hugs and words of encouragement they missed out on as children.

[@jamiezepeda4479]

How am I just stumbling across you now? This was recorded 9yrs ago?? Amazing

[@rayoll]

damn you are a fine player and singer.

[@bluetrain69]

My goodness, I got goosebumps watching you play. You’ve got “it”. I hope you’re performing live somewhere!

[@adamcarmichael104]

In my head you were sleeping with that guitar and dreaming in syncopation all night, then you woke up and did that thing...that's very nice

[@LenaRiess]

wonderful stuff, outstandig performance (love that little break!) .... great pleasure! Thanks a lot, Lena :))

[@sherrythegypsysalzman7032]

i been a Blues singer for along long while ..play guitar too but not like you .. im so impressed with you but would sure love to see you play live . and i still dont know your name or where you are performing .. . you got the real spirit in you , girl === its a rare thing to play it like you were ..one of the originals... if you see this will ya let us know where we can see you play? thanks!

[@Naolslager]

Fantastic, no matter the tuning. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelfreier6886]

Lovely. I really like your style, If you don't mind , I'm going to youtube to mp3 your songs, unless, i can buy some of them which i'll gladly do....I love it. Thank you. Very Heartfelt, and you make it look effortless, MJH would be proud.

[@SmarticusRex]

Excellent. I'm just starting to learn my first MJH song. I hope one day, I'll be able to play them as well as you. Nice job.

[@franciscobruzzi4828]

coolest girl in the world!! super duper good guuurl! love it!

[@ashleajonesmith]

You make it look so easy, with that candy floating around in your mouth. Ahhh.You're amazing.

[@billyhatcher8750]

good job..like that Stella/ Harmony 12 string..I had one traded it...not an easy song to figure out..you nailed it

[@noblesiner]

It's been a long time. You shouldn't have left us, without a dope beat last us.

[@Ek0]

Nice rhythm. Lovely voice. A+

[@wgutherie]

Pretty damn good!

[@thumbpickr1812]

Still a great listen.

[@fredjosephson5188]

the guitar sounds great, and you play and sing wonderfully!

[@stellalush4547]

You are phenomenal...

[@mandomonica]

Wow wow wow! So awesome!

[@sustainablygrateful6444]

Beautiful work! Hope you create more vids soon! 💖🎶💀

[@monoyamono]

Been studying this in open G. But this way works really well. I'm gonna study your version too methinks. Thanks.

[@blebblebbleb]

your a great guitarist and vocalist and you have great taste.

[@five12gal]

I'm very glad I found this video. Really good! Made my day.

[@fallfrukt]

@JimiChristopher The guitar was not plugged in. The mic was a Sennheiser ew 100 g3 (a wireless lapel mic) plugged into a Nikon D300s with a 14mm aspheric lens. Not so much a choice, it was the equipment that happened to be around at the moment.

[@JOSEVALDIVIESO]

Love the pause! Lol! Love it!

[@FredOooUnavailable]

How to do when we already had put a thumb ? I want to put another one.

[@mjldz]

i'm sold on the feelings in the expressions of your face

[@MickBrownFolksinger]

Great sound for standard tuning , brilliant well done

[@ralphmontilio2050]

Sounds great!

[@carldubcats3385]

Really good version, well done.
