[@bradkelley8732]

I lived in Oxford, MS, and got to see RL live one time, early 90s, in a small club. Got to see fellow North Mississippi blues guitarist Jr. Kimbrough in his club (where RL played regularly too) in Holly Springs, and the atmosphere was much like this. Throw in a bass and drums but not much more space and you have the idea. One of the best nights of my life, to see and feel and HEAR the power of this music, these people. This is one of the poorest counties in the country, and I drove up from Oxford with my two also very white friends, my Gf and her friend, and lo and behold we all forgot to bring money. I had left my wallet behind, too late to turn back. We counted the little bit we had, including dimes and nickels, and made a little over 5 bucks. Which was 5 cold Busch beers. After those 5, we were counting our dimes to see if we could make another beer, but alas, no. There were pool tables on the side, and I saw a man, much like one of the people in this video, motion me over. I went over and he asked what I was doing. I told him the story, that we were counting our money to see if we could make another beer, and he gave me a 5 and told me to have fun. I will nver forget that as long as I live.

@@TavFalcoFilm I'm concerned about the sister the camera zoomed in on @ 13:05. She looks so sad for being in such a happening place! She looks like somebody stole her man, stepped on her foot, kicked her dog, and talked trash about her momma. Girl, listen to the advice of Kool and the Gang: "… How you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance By standing on the wall? (Get your back up off the wall) tell me, baby How you gonna do it if you really won't take a chance By standing on the wall?"😃 The woman shown at 14:00 is gorgeous and having a great time, though! I love her blouse with ruffled collar and sleeves and her perfectly coiffed hair. That blouse she's wearing would still look elegant and stylish today.

[@LazyIRanch]

@@TavFalcoFilm That is beautiful! And so very true. I'm so much of a wallflower that I'm actually a hermit who only goes to town once a month. Indeed, the Blues and other great music is a comfort to me. My mother was born in 1920, and she loved jazz and swing music from the 30s and 40s. Now that I can look up music I remember her singing, I've discovered that she was a huge Louis Jordan fan, because she knew and sang his music. Now that I can hear the original LJ and his Tympany Five, I'm a big fan too! IMO, his very funny song, "Saturday Night Fish Fry" is very early Hip Hop!

[@tuck5492]

Absolutely love love this doc 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LazyIRanch]

I loved Canned Heat's take on Delta Blues, because their sincerity and love for the music was obvious. I never did like Eric Clapton though, not him as a person or his boring music. Yeah, he plays guitar very well, but I never thought he FELT this music in his soul the way it's intended. He just heard music he could steal to make money from. Maybe I dislike him because he broke up George Harrison's marriage, and then after he stole George's wife, he got tired of her and dumped her.😉 Clapton just always seemed disingenuous to me. IMO, he ruined "Crossroads" by overdoing the electric guitars and making it into a jangly mess that ruined the true spirit of the song. The song should be "haunt-y", not jaunty. Eric Clapton's version (with Cream) of "I'm So Glad" is so cringey that I hated the song, until I heard the 1931 original by the man who wrote it, Skip James. At least the band Cream paid Skip James royalties for stinking up his great song, but I think James was the better guitar picker, and vocalist. Canned Heat understood, and they kept that spooky kind of swamp-voodoo spirit simplicity of the blues songs, with the harmonica, falsetto voice, and rhythm guitar.

White people went to honky tonks, hence the name. Black people went to juke joints or juke houses. Take it from someone raised in the Mississippi Delta in the 1950-60s. What few juke houses in Mississippi (now) are sanitized for your protection - tourist attractions.

One of the coolest adventures to understand real diversity. I grew up on Hank Williams, Fats Domino, and anything else with a solid groove. As a result, Not only do I play in this genre, but many others as well. This is the very base of most American Music. And more than A Lot came from Mississippi and the rest of the delta area. I have many relatives down that way. It's in the Soul.

[@mechcavandy986]

White people went to Honky Tonks (hence the name), black people went to juke joints or juke houses. We had one in my hometown, Farrell, Mississippi, about 8 miles west of Clarksdale, called the Wagon Wheel. Robert Nighthawk, Elmore James, Sonny Boy and Little Walter all played there. When I was a little white boy, I used to go up there and peek in the window. It looked a lot like this - nothing fancy. When I was in my late teens up until I was in my 30s, I used to hang out in juke joints around Clarksdale. What few there are in Mississippi now are all tourist traps, sanitized for your protection. Back in the 50-60s a lot of the patrons carried guns. It was pretty rough. I knew several people who were shot or stabbed in them. Great film. Pretty raw alright. Not sanitized…💙

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Nothing sanitary about The Brotherhood Sportsmen's Club. Outside of Bobby Rae Watson & Kenny Brown, who were hardly honkies, few white folks tipped into this tonk. We also called it a juke joint. You're right though, hillbillies spoke of their joints as honky tonks - some stylish music in those, too.

Now they need an entire spectacle of singers, dancers, drill team routine, pyrotechnics, pre - recorded music with pitch correction, pharmaceutical drugs etc… people listen with their eyes now instead of with their ears, heart and soul.

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Bags of fun.

[@petenstein247]

Nice one Tav. I saw RL Burnside a few times down here in Australia in the late 90s and he left an indelible memory.

[@TavFalcoFilm]

RL was a snake charmer.

[@christophervisser5810]

Absolutely brilliant. Love RL

[@jimringomartin]

Love the guy at 1:00 dancing with his 16 oz Schlitz. I grew up on Schlitz.

Beverage of choice in the juke joints.

We gone all ways fix our lips a certain way and raise our arms and pop our fingers. that's how you know the groove is groovin.

Many thanks Gustavo. This is a real burning panther!

Panther, panther burning bright, in the forest of the night.

Original blues sounds.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Out of a tradition, but original in style.

[@faunoram]

Oh Wow !! What an incredible video !! I remember ive seen a fragment of this video long time ago, it was just a little piece of footage, now its the first time i see this long video of the same gig, im a huge fan of Hill Country Blues and the music of RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, etc. Thank you for share !! Cheers from South América - Bolivia !!

[@TJNorton]

Me too. Once i found the North Mississippi and deep Delta one chord blues i was addicted. There's a lot of North African / Saharan 'blues' that has the same rhythms and hypnotic vibe. Since moving from the UK to the USA i've had the chance to meet Cedric Burnside, who is a really nice guy.

[@faunoram]

@@TJNorton Wow ! Thats awesome !

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Da nada. Nothing but trance music - really the blues.

[@johnwalker4642]

A Great and Holy Throwdown!

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Holy throwdown to be sure.

[@LawrenceGottlieb]

Holy Moly, this man is a one man rave

[@TavFalcoFilm]

There was a 2nd guitarist at some points & sing-alongs.

[@concernedcitizen9466]

Been in a few of those in my life. Good times.

[@TavFalcoFilm]

All nighters.

This is some of the rawest shit ive ever seen online. Thank you for putting this on youtube.

Glad you got into it, but watch your language. There are ladies present,

[@caferacer7667]

Raw! Love it. Thank you

Naked truth.

[@RitaRiley-w4d]

Old white woman here, thank you for this video. Looks like a good time❤

[@TavFalcoFilm]

It was a hoot ! Wish you were there.

[@freddielainez4580]

I see where rock n roll got its rock n roll from💪🏾

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Where R&R should go back.

"The blues had a baby and they named it rock'n'roll". It's true.

Man I’d give anything to find a place like this!

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Although fewer, there will always be joints like this down south.

Vic the Book used to love to listen to R.L. Burnside sing See My Jumper Hanging On the Line while hauling a big load of Cowhide's "cawn lick-her whisk-key" down Highway 7 in his Toyota Supra from Dennis to Oxford to resell to the kiddies at Ole Miss after Vic laced it with a special blend of psilocybin mushroom grown and harvested out in the Holly Spring National Forest in Marshall and Lafayette Counties.

[@TavFalcoFilm]

RL inspired quite a trippy concoction for the progeny of Ole Miss.

[@xaspirate8060]

WOW! Great little story...thought those Ole Miss kids were supposed to be well behaved? 🙃

[@sartainja]

@@xaspirate8060 They like to party. So ole Vic and Todd the Toller accommodated their needs.

[@jakklump]

R.L Burnside is one of the GREATEST, look up more of his music with accompaniment. ALSO one of his sons is in North Mississippi All Stars where this and more music is made ATOMIC.

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Atomic rampage.

[@mike-dj5yv]

probably the greatest piece of blues set to video ever

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Certainly the loosest.

[@IvanRx76]

Man I need this in my life

[@TavFalcoFilm]

Now you have it.

@@RAYGERVATO RL's playing was a huge inspiration on mine, too.

[@RAYGERVATO]

@TavFalcoFilm bro thanx for alerting me to this bluesman! Is he tuned to a variation of F in Jumpers? I just recorded a 15 min. interpretation of mine on my phone LOL! (All l got :( Love his style. You knew him?

[@TavFalcoFilm]

@@RAYGERVATO This is what happens when cameras are put in the hands of revolutionaries.

[@RAYGERVATO]

@TavFalcoFilm Wow coool. A medium to capture magic from mag-icians :) for sure! You ever see Jimi in his days around Nashville? I met Billy 2011, (sent him a demo and actually he called us after he heard it! A real honor!) Story is a feather in my bandana ;)

[@jamesrockland9616]

Lots of good guitarists, lots of good singers, but not THAT MANY great (unique) players and amazing vocalists all in one... i dig his music but his singing/timing is where he shines the most (in my opinion)

[@TavFalcoFilm]

True, RL was among the best singer/guitarists.

[@mavjimbo]

Doesn't get any better than this
