Crap that's all I can say

[@neilleng9188]

​@@alexbehrens4411 It's not good to talk about yourself on here Alex.!! 😂😂

it's a strain to hear her singing on this particular performance though. The sound mix is off.

Excellent Post

I've been a fan of Joanna's for 30 years. We are the same age and both born on the same day, and both play guitar. She's absolutely awesome on the slide guitar.

[@geraldyoumans3671]

Nadine are you using you gift?

[@jong0000]

I got to meet her at Riverwalk Blues FEstival in FTL in the early 90's..

[@lizardas]

@@jong0000 Same here. I also saw her at the old Back Room, in Delray two or three times. She had her children with her once. She worked hard during those years.

[@StanVitkovsky]

And I wasn't a fan of hers, I hadn't even heard of her, but now everything has changed. This is very tasty music.

[@ConstanceHelwig]

I have loved her playing and singing for a long time, the most underrated guitarist on the planet. ROCK/WALK ON JOANNA!🙏❤️🙏

[@marcellee4212]

She is the reason why we need to keep blues alive, when you just listen to that guitar you realise what adventure can be explored and what songs can be uncovered. Joanna Connor absolute legend, she cannot be competed by any other blues player with that slide 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@InfernAlien]

That was some serious psychedelic shit right there! My jaw fall beneath the tectonic discs of the Earth! 😮😮😮🤩🤩🤩

[@jackiekerr1558]

I agree whole heartedly ! Well said!👍👍👍

[@kevinstolz2047]

Nice Joanna Conner

[@IceNein763]

This video is a great example of why Blues is best experienced in a live environment.

[@rex8958]

Crazy performance and the whole band is having a blast

[@chrissein632]

shame on me for discovering this lady and her music only now - 30 years she' s in the business... Great performance - kick ass bass solo also

[@gtd360]

Just found her and I'm looking up everything she's doing. Makes me want to pick up the guitar again and learn blues tuning.

[@manolofg6823]

tienes toda la razon,yo la acabo de escuchar y me he quedado flipado ,lastima de no aberla escuchado hace 30 años ,Muchos saludos para esa pedazo de banda

[@emmystarlight9029]

Same here! I am like, where the heck has she been? Where have I been?

[@jeffday7397]

Likewise... Just a case of better late then never

[@jannarichards2407]

she's been playing for decades - i'm so glad people are discovering her ... she def deserves more attention. and her band is k-ass amazing too

[@DrsJacksonn]

Listened to this several times already. Still my mouth just falls open.

[@donvanco3078]

Found you because of Stevie T - you are phenomenal.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Yeah me too. Of all the people he talked about on that video, she stood out to me. I love this kind of music anyway. She's really incredibly talented. There's another musician I like who does kind of similar music. Maybe you've heard of him, maybe not but just on case he's called Seasick Steve. I think he's great anyway. He's known for playing either homemade guitars or really crumby guitars.

[@stevenrusselcasquite7681]

Me too

[@nec1211986]

Do they have a channel?

[@chris-ip4pk]

Me too

[@arthefion6372]

me too and .... i'm french ! i love stevie-t

[@Nemes_Imre]

I love this woman, a fantastic musician, have a great sense of humor, and the drummer and the bass player are great!

[@davidgrouse8786]

Indeed! All of her band is great. I think her rythm guitarist has played with her for years

[@byyfbdfyjdf8518]

а разве это женщина ?

[@edeledeledel5490]

Drummer's style reminds me of animal from the muppets, and that's a compliment!

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Sure

[@briang.4249]

This is just awesome. What this lady can do is off the planet. I could listen to Joanna all day and all night. I've ordered some of her cds. I can not wait to get them. This is true virtuoso playing. Man oh man strum those bass strings.

[@allanbriggs9007]

She is good - very, very good

[@jennrat513]

I'm new to her too...Thanx to the Wings of Pegasus sub...i've listened to two CDs so far...dig every song off Nothing but the Blues...haven't finished all of the other yet but thinking I'll dig all those too..lol

[@ericnordahl5407]

i am shell shocked just shows you out of the main stream there is talent most of us do not see Joanna you are awesome

[@briano.5746]

Mainstream music overall is pretty horrible . I try to avoid it at all cost .

[@davidbuchanan6943]

Eric Nordahl : You know that. Eric.🙏🏻

[@AB_thingsDFW]

Everything mainstream is to avoid, if you know what I mean

[@billblondeau4269]

I was a radio DJ in the early/mid 80s. I had a blues show, and a good library to pick from. Joanna Connor was there. She was not this good back then. Not even close. But GOD DAMN she has grown into the music, and it's so good to hear this. One of the best on the planet.

[@tomgraham8231]

Same here but the early Nineties, I had my own Blues show on the local college station and was amazed at the local talent in Chicago. Then I got stuff from the west and west coast. Wow. Mark Hummel, Little Ed, William Clarke, Little Charley. A lot of great Musicians who never get air time .

[@chriswilson8191]

People do get better if they don't rest on their laurels. Elvin Bishop is a perfect example. He has to sit down half his set anymore, but he plays phenomenally better than he did at 25, and clearly enjoys it. Comes off simple and folksy but he's a Rhodes Scholar like Bill Clinton...

[@deenutz186]

You call that good now? Barf..

Holy mother of pearl , I thought she couldn't get better ! My word ! That thing nearly ignited.

[@elmargro2177]

This lady has it all. Feeling, technique, attitude and a lot of dirt in her guitar playing. Absolutely fantastic.

[@timparcher2001]

Heard her for the first time last night. Phenomenal is the only word that comes to mind! Can't believe I've never heard of her before. She rocks! Gonna try to catch one of her shows someplace.

[@thuswaldner1]

I don't even consider myself a blues fan but she is so fun to watch! I have seen this video dozens of time and I don't get tired of it. There is something about watching someone do something that they just love to do that is exciting; at least sometimes (bowling being an exception ;-).

[@pntballfreek]

Her enthusiasm is INFECTIOUS!!!!! LOVE IT

[@raymondwilliams4346]

She plays with so much passion. It's great to see.

[@sanoj1969]

Hats of for this amazing musician. It’s great to see her play and use the guitar like no other. She is not a copycat...she has her own style. Thanks for the word 🙏🙏.
