[@landellpugh9458]

This is a haunting melody and shows the work of a legendary bluesman at his best. You hear the intro and know you are hooked.

[@jamesglenn5259]

A true blue pioneer of the Blues! Such a blessing to have his music as his testimony to the Blues! May his memory live on!

[@hagensick1]

First time I've heard him, I sure have been missing out HARD LIFE BLUES one of the greatest blues I've heard.

[@sapelesteve]

If you really love the Blues, it doesn't get much better than this folks! So wish that I could have seen JD live! 👍👍

[@dawnrazornephilim]

This is the first time I have heard him, stumbled across him. This guy is awesome, this is a great song!

[@hamidjalim4960]

On of the best blue songs , but unfortunately its not famous

[@jeffreese1828]

7 years later ..... I just now discovered this cat . This is literally the 2nd tune I've heard . The first was mere minutes ago "Night Rocks" from "Fast Fingers" . I'm in my mid 50s and my fav jams are Classic Rock .... so of course I love this type Blues ! I was jamming on some old Surf instrumentals and that tune came up in suggestions , lol.... and I'm, like , "Fast Fingers ", huh ? , Let's see about that . I ain't never heard of this guy , so ...." After that song ended , and I saved to a Playlist, I was typing Jimmy Dawkins in the search bar .... this list said Best Of... so this is good place to start . This song playing ,and I'm commenting . This rapid fire "Discovery to Digging" is not usual for me , but like , WOW ! Killer guitar work.... I love that sound . I'm assuming that's Jimmy singing , too ? That's another BIG WOW on that voice ! Man , oh man , straight from his heart to his hands , to my ears and .... my heart . You know HE'S feeling it , when YOU'RE feeling it . Sad that he is gone from us , but he is still sending the Feels and I'm sure that would make him happy . Well , wanted to share those thoughts with y'all , but I'm gonna go dive right in .... Rock/Blues On ! 🎸

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

I need a beer right now. I wasn't prepared for this level of blues man.

[@tedarndt6254]

[@bdobro240]

[@billrogers6863]

beer schmeer. I think you need whiskey

[@chickenwilson2]

The Blues will never die as long as we keep men like Jimmy Dawkins in our hearts and respect his enory.

[@Wagiblues]

Real Blues Singing + Play - seen him at Zurich in 1968 at Volkshouse. The crowd didn t really realize the class of this man

[@fligler]

Some people were lucky enough to have seen him live. He is so good.

[@neeznh4571]

I'm lucky to find it even

[@gilbertoalves5935]

Como não gostar das guitarras do blue, isso é para a noite, madrugadas, dia, banheiro, carro e para a vida.

[@mictod7228]

That music is always best that comes from the heart - straight out of the deepest, darkest, recesses. To me, this describes The Blues and Dawkins does it as well as anyone - better than most.

[@wvufreak56]

Yeah....What You Said! ....lol...Awesome Description of what must be felt..for these kinda blues! Wow!

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

I can't believe I was listening to Jimmy years ago and was appreciating his talent. We now have the great Walter Trout covering such a beautiful song. Thank you Walter I'm looking forward to your new album covering some of the greatest blues that needed to be heard again to truly appreciated these great artists!

[@patriciakimbrell5688]

Love the Music of Jimmy Dawkins 💙Great Blues 💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸

[@georgemccausland1603]

Blues at its very best!! RIP Jimmy

[@stevenbaustian5342]

i haven't heard this guys music since 1979 when i had his LP. (remember them?) played with luther allison, (worked a festival gig with him where i had a visual i'll never forget) lamont cranston with whom was the great r&b band in the twin cities then. lost through time and space. looked it up r.i.p. 2013

[@ericsmith3968]

Well, good Lord have mercy... I'm woozy....ladies and gentlemen, if your looking for REAL blues, you've come to the right place !! To God be the glory!

[@LesBarber]

Blues with Feeling the Guitar and the Hammond create the Natural Blues, you can't Fake it!

[@barrypike01]

I will be honest to say id heard of his name but never his music till now. My personal feeling is this man sure can play and sing the blues. love it

[@yesman2755]

Walter Trout led me to this dude. Fantastic! Trout just covered it on his latest LP ‘Survivor Blues’. As he stated, a very underrated song and one of his favourites. Gonna delve deeper into this artist’s catalogue.

[@stephstephy917]

Ripping the blues right out of his heart. RIP Jimmy

[@jamessawyers25]

Remember seeing him several years ago back in Marietta, Ohio. The room was about twice the size of my 12 x 15 bedroom!!! It was Great!!

[@valentinstoica]

Classical music. Plain and simple. For the many ages to come. Next to all other classical genres. And then some.

[@philbriggs4313]

Absolutely superb,brilliant compelling and wonderfull!!! (Sigh) How i wish modern music was like this.

[@anamcara4933]

All Right Now .... Jimmy Dawkins ..... don't get any better than this ! Thanks for uploading.

[@richarddcosta1476]

Sublime. Nothing but absolute emotion and feelings.

[@fatinyantiyanti619]

[@chuckkey2331]

DAMN!!... This some hardcore... Gets better every time I hear it.

[@bobbylist1]

I can't believe I was so out of touch I didn't know this great player and singer. Just great. Thanks to youtube for getting this great music out.

[@SR71GBOAC27]

RIP! Your music will be with me forever.

[@daisyicecream]

Best Chicago blues guitar player bar none!

[@davidhughes7962]

Keith Bartholomew Ever heard of Buddy Guy 🤔

[@daisyicecream]

Yeah Buddy is really great and one of the best but, he is no Jimmy Dawkins. Ever heard of Melvin Taylor?

[@chipicaua]

Yeah Melvin Taylor is really great and one of the best, but, he is no Jimmy Dawkins either. Ever heard of Luther Alison?

[@daisyicecream]

Luther was great! I saw him once back in the '90's in Detroit a few months before he passed. Just such an amazing performance and it's one of the shows I'll never forget. Speaking of Detroit we had a great guitar player Johnny Bassett that was often referred to as the gentleman of the blues. Reminded me of Wes Montgomery a little bit.

[@shinealight9433]

I agree with Keith!!!!!!

[@spikerofficial4691]

I remember when I was 6 yrs old I used to sit all day in front of my old sony kassette soundsystem, learned all the good music thanks to my father's blues collection! Today I'm 29 and I make rap songs and people always asks me why my lyrics so deep? Bro that's what music is all about, delivery, feelings, connections, all the misteries of life in one song! What a phenomenon!! Don't worry bout tomorrow bro, it never comes!

[@BKsblues]

Never heard of this dude-what a great find!

[@ratnikovalexander]

Я из Москвы. Знаю Jimmy Dawkins давно.

[@Bk-pu6to]

[@baksherry21]

Чистое ясное звучание голоса с брутальной хрипотой и мощные басовые композиции. Золото блюза? Несомненно!

[@nobelaerlaan]
