Mick Taylor - Blind Willie McTell

[@davidcordova7169]

A lot of quality in the guitar without a doubt with the Great Mick Taylor.

[@edvinlaine]

Greatest Stones musician of all times. Period.

An Angel of the Guitar! I'm a great fun, I grew up with Him. A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.

I seen Taylor play this song at a,small club on Long Island 1999 I had front row seats I shit when he played especially this song I was,so close to him I could have touched his guitar The man can play the hell out of a guitar

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Oh Man can Mick Taylor play the Hell out of this version of Blind Willie I seen him live first row at the Steven Talk House on Long Island in Montauk point Man I shit watching him .I could have touched his guitar that's how close I was to him And he autograph the Stones Throw for me 1999 What a great time I had Mick Taylor Is The man Clapton this and that Clapton was scared shit of Jimi Hendricks maybe he's scared of Mick Taylor also I'd love to see them go at it

[@Petty5720]

Excellent version and what a fantastic guitarist, great melody in his playing 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Mick Taylor one of the most underrated guitarists in the world Mick Taylor Can Play His Ass Off I seen him on Long Island In East Hampton 1999 I had front row seats In this little club I was so close to him I could have touched his guitar He played unreal

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

Yes MickTaylor is one bad ass guitar player But gets no attention for his grate guitar playing

[@markwendelken5427]

Absolutely Brilliant . What a discovery. I'm sure Dylan didn't mind this cover, just like he approved of All along the watch Tower.

[@josegustavoescamillavaldez6283]

Taylor, fantástico con su les Paul , fenomenal

[@maazvdo]

Really great! Thanks for share.

[@green323turbo]

love his version with Dylan 1983

[@jecv7253]

Seen the arrow on the doorpost Saying, "This land is condemned All the way from New Orleans To Jerusalem." I traveled through East Texas Where many martyrs fell And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, I heard the hoot owl singing As they were taking down the tents The stars above the barren trees Were his only audience Them charcoal gypsy maidens Can strut their feathers well But nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell See them big plantations burning Hear the cracking of the whips Smell that sweet magnolia blooming (And) see the ghosts of slavery ships I can hear them tribes a-moaning (I can) hear the undertaker's bell (Yeah), nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell There's a woman by the river With some fine young handsome man He's dressed up like a squire Bootlegged whiskey in his hand There's a chain gang on the highway I can hear them rebels yell And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, God is in heaven And we all want what's his But power and greed and corruptible seed Seem to be all that there is I'm gazing out the window Of the St. James Hotel And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell

[@tjcolatrella943]

Blind Willie McTell wrote Statesboro Blues famous for playing finger picked 12 string guitar had a high register voice too..

[@chet2020]

Blues is Alive + Well JANUARY 2022 - 👊💯🇦🇺🤠☯️😎🙏

[@acousticshadow4032]

Please fix the misspelling of Metell (s/b McTell) in your title. It's buggin' the heck outta me. Otherwise, killer version here. Classic Mick Taylor guitar. Makes me wish he'd never left the Stones, but...

[@guyeklektic1136]

Dylan...

[@BartLouwman]

Too bad for the Stones they couldnt kep him.

[@TomGuerra1]

Shy Lina - Please fix the typo in the title, which should read “Blind Willie McTell”

[@shylina9358]

Thank you..

[@mitchgawlik1175]

Of course, Mick does a hell of a job with this but it really needs to be heard live by Dylan. Dylan has a feel that no amount of slickness and studio perfection can rise above.

[@charlescicirella2670]

So missing the point of this cover.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

@@charlescicirella2670 Until someone explains "the point of this cover" I'll stick with my opinion. It seems to simply be a showpiece for Mick's guitar prowess.

[@Mf27Groove]

Better vocal, guitar oriented and bluesy and musically a more precise tribute to the title character. Great guitar work over a brilliant piano groove.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

@@Mf27Groove Yes, Michael, but is better always best? Smooth and slick doesn't necessarily convey the feeling that some songs can put forth. Most of us that grew up in the '60s will remember the Animals' version of "House of the Rising Sun". Eric Burden doesn't have the voice of an angel but, for all intents and purposes, that was a well produced recording, but Bob Dylan's version has him as a tortured soul telling a life story. Sometimes that's just what I want from a song. Any rock fan with a lick of sense knows Mick Taylor is a master guitar slinger, I wasn't trying to take anything away from him. Have a good one.

[@nwaelder]

@@mitchgawlik1175 I’ll take a shot. 1) Dylan wrote a wonderful tribute to a great bluesman. The poetry and “St John’s Infirmary” vibe of the melody are top notch. 2) Mick Taylor played it like the journeyman bluesman he’s been his whole life. Transformed like another great bluesman did with another great Dylan composition.. All Along the Watchtower.

[@eugeniogarbin1141]

Mi disse un famoso esperto di musica rock: " sono d'accordo con te Mick Taylor è un grande chitarrista, purtroppo ha poca voce". Esatto, purtroppo ha poca voce altrimenti sarebbe perfetto.

[@joachimziemen7805]

Yeah! Bob Dylans alter Weggefährte macht das wirklich gut. Aber: Nobody can sing this song like Robert Allen Zimmerman!

[@josephgiuffdrida5387]

MIck Taylor nobody gets the sound out of his guitar I tired of hearing Clapton this and that Bullshit I'd love to see Mick Taylor Go At It With Clapton .I very Raley see them play together Cause Clapton is scared shit of Mick Taylor Just like Jimi Hendrix Made Clapton Shit Himself

[@mitchgawlik1175]

Boy, some comments are just plain asinine.
