Rich Hall on Fred Eaglesmith [Live Performance & Interview] - The Blues Kitchen Presents...

SUBSCRIBE: / blueskitchenlondon
Rich Hall is a comedian, writer, presenter & musician.
After catching ‘Rich Halls Hoedown’ at a festival this summer, we invited Rich & his band into the studio for a Blues Kitchen session.
We sat down to discuss how his award winning alter ego, Otis Lee Crenshaw evolved into the Hoedown & Rich opens up about the intricacies of composing lyrics on the spot as part of a live performance.
Rich & the band also perform an ace version of ‘Time To Get A Gun’ by Fred Eaglesmith

America gave up something beautiful when Rich Hall moved to England. The guy is phenomenal

Now it’s time to pull up the KZbin video of Fred Eaglesmith at the Paradiso in NL.

Now yer talkin Fred & Willy

[@dunebillyofswanbeach4294]

Willie had his heart attack earlier and wasn’t with the band at the point which the Paradiso show took place. It features Fred’s ‘Steam band’. It’s a great unit but one that’s very different than the Flying Squirrels.

@@dunebillyofswanbeach4294 l thought l thought l had seen a video of Fred, Willy & Corey in Holland & thought that was it. I was at 18 charity picnics in southern Ontario, those were some of the best weekends of my miserable little life;)

Beautiful!

Wow, imagine finding out that the guy you saw on SNL when you were a kid has a second career because of a rare Fred Eaglesmith cover that doesn't suck! They did a great job with this cover.

What? Who TF is Fred Eaglesmith?

@@olenilsen4660 You'd better be joking.

Ole Nilson sure has a lot to learn. I hope he wasn’t too lazy to go and look up Fred.

Rich Hall......genius

It's awesome to hear this from Rich himself. I suspected as much - that he is really doing a fair bit of improv on his gigs. I love the old Otis Lee Crenshaw bits, and wish he did more. Maybe he just have too high standards, and don't think people would like some half-assed approach to the character. I think most of us would still laugh our asses off, but then again - a long lasting "secret" in showbiz is that you should always leave the audience wanting more... I'm really working against myself, because I am one of those who would never get enough of Otis. That character was just so perfectly done by Rich. I would never know if Rich or Otis was the real one if it wasn't for Wikipedia. Please give him another chance, Rich!

I've seen Fred 17 times.
