WHISKEY MUSIC!| FIRST TIME HEARING ZZ Hill - Down Home Blues REACTION

[@chrisburns2345]

Y'all touched home because I live in East Texas and graduated with his nephew... ZZ is buried right outside of Naples Texas. I got to hear about ZZ my entire life. Definitely legendary Blues singer. Thanks again Robb Squad!,,,, 🤘

[@otisroseboro5613]

All I Do Is Think Of My Late Grandparents, When I Hear This Song 👍,May They All Rip, Still Miss Them All

[@paulmitasky3462]

You mentioned Joe Bonamassa, well, I know he was on a music cruise, a Blues Cruise, if you will, with some prominent and up and coming musicians. Well, he and Paul Shrihier of the David Letterman show called the Lovell sisters of Larkin Poe up on stage. They all blew the crowds mind. Try some "Bleach Blond Bottle Blues" by Larkin Poe! I know this song will hook all your blues fans out there Knuckle Moonpup signing out

[@vincentsweargen8436]

I used to intern at the studio where this song was recorded. I met a lot of blues and gospel singers. I heard a lot of great music being made.

[@misterdoe]

One of my late mom's favorite artists singing a blues classic.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, I’d recommend bluesman Albert Collins. These are songs from his album Ice Pickin’. "Master Charge”; "Conversation with Collins", "Honey, Hush!, "Too Tired" or "When the Welfare Turns Its Back on You"!! He had his own unique tuning on his Fender Telecaster. He is a great showman as well. I saw him live in 1991 in a small club and met him after. Albert really makes the guitar talk!!! edit - He played with George Thorogood at the Live Aid concert.

[@rbb9753]

In honor of Chicago politics, I want to upvote this twelve times. Even people who don’t care for blues like “I Ain’t Drunk”. Heck, show him from Adventures in Babysitting

[@randy8297]

He was famous for his Fender Telecaster, not a Strat. All in the Fender family tho.

[@surlechapeau]

@@randy8297 thanks. I should have checkedmby Albert Collins t-shirt. At the bottom it says Master Of The Telecaster. fixed.

[@mydsmber05]

ZZ Hill and and the Down Home album almost single-handedly created modern Southern Soul/Soul Blues

[@DG2244]

Something special about a really good blues singer. Music for the soul.

[@lindapro1287]

Now that's great song!! Love ZZ Hill! Thanks Jay and Amber!

[@barbarapearson5896]

Oh sh-t! I never thought I'd see you do some Z.Z. Hill. He is the man! My mama is tapping her foot in heaven.

[@barbarapearson5896]

Oh and Z.Z. Top is named after Z.Z. Hill.

[@nickimontie]

Those backup singers really bring the blues home❤

[@animallover-oj2ff]

about time some reactors are reacting to the blues you will never go back i was the right age living in the right place at the right time during the blues revival of the 80's and 90's been to over 100 out door blues festivals around the country and countless bars and small venues around the middle of the country. my daughter is 28 and has seen most of the great blues bands and players in the country even though she may not remember them she can say she saw SRV Buddy Guy, KOKO Taylor Elvin bishop albert Collins Johnny Winter, Shamika Copland, Johnny Copland Susan Tedeschi, Marcia ball and on and on i went from party animal to good dad that wanted her to have memories of some of the best musicians/performers ever. she has long since move out but i am still SUPPORTING LIVE MUSIC AND TALENTED BANDS that don't receive radio play or on TV. TRY IT YOU CAN'T GO WRONG regardless of the style of blues you will leave feeling good down to your soul.

[@gkiferonhs]

How about some bluesy Bonnie Raitt for Female Friday? Give It Up Or Let Me Go would be good, or maybe Women Be Wise. Have a Winning Wednesday!!

[@mztweety1374]

OMG one of my grandma’s favorite blues singers. she had this record. And we had this long ass record player cabinet that could be used as a tv stand lol. But we also had a floor model tv. And I was the remote.

[@rbb9753]

My parents had one of those, a huge old Sears model that could be used as ballast for an empty oil tanker. IIIC Dad did something with the AM antenna so we could pull in AM stations from all over at night

[@rickjensen7235]

For some good Texas blues, Bring Your Fine Self Home, Johnny Copeland with Albert Collins and Robert Cray. Now that's back porch whiskey music!

[@lorettaonlivetv6851]

Omg! This ALBUM!!!This takes me to my childhood. My parents, especially my dad, was a BIG fan of ZZ Hill. My siblings and I had to listen listen to “Down Home Blues” in our brand new Cadillac while we driving across the country to see family in Mississippi ❤. You must react to the WHOLE album. Denise LeSalle and Johnny Taylor. Iconic legends. Thank you so much🎉🎉🎉

[@hervehightower2364]

i can't say how much i have heard and play this over the decades this was good music here.

[@njt2347]

This song used to be on every five bar jukebox in Chicago in the early 90s when I was in college and I would play it least once a night. One of my favorite songs.

[@karlsmith2570]

Hey Jay and Amber, seeing as you love Blues music, here's a couple that you might enjoy: "Who's Makin Love" - Johnnie Taylor "Last Two Dollars" - Johnnie Taylor "Wang Dang Doodle" - Koko Taylor

[@rockythorn9558]

“I believe in you” - Johnny Taylor

[@jameskneubuhl9115]

All you have to do is play one blues song and everyone's going to share their favorite blues songs and artists with you. Here are some of mine: "Big Leg Woman" by Freddie King, "The Hunter" by Albert King, "How Many More Years" by Howlin' Wolf, "I Just Want To Make Love To You" by Muddy Waters, and "Chevrolet" by Taj Mahal. All these songs are blues, but they're all very different. The blues actually mutated from gospel music, and the blues is the foundation of both jazz and rock & roll.

[@dwainwilder7337]

Many years ago, I had an older friend who had a whisky hang out joint. This was always playing on his juke box, along with Clarence Carter’s “Strokin’” and Ruth Brown’s “If I can’t sell it” (which you have to check out). Yeah, he had an old time Juke Box. Great song! I love some down home blues!

[@imsirius2]

You just reminded me of when I was a kid and my parents would bring me to one of their friends Jazz parties. A house filled with 50 or 60 musicians and an evening filled with jazz and blues with different musicians sitting in all night. People would sit in and play a few songs and then others would take over. Non stop amazing music all night. I cherish those memories.

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

💕👍

[@rbb9753]

I am now officially jealous. We had similar things in my youth visiting my mom’s family, except it was bluegrass.

[@leidell]

Another ZZ Hill favorite to listen to is "Shadetree Mechanic". The guitar intro is fire!!!!

[@loriparks8805]

Legendary Old Schooler's blues music 🎶 artist ZZ Hill 🤩

[@njt2347]

If you like ZZ hill check out some Bobby Bland who mixed Blues and soul really nicely. Songs include Members Only, I Pity the Fool, and Further on Up the Road. Also, check out Little Milton - The Blues is Alright and Grits Ain't Groceries. Or Johnny Taylor - Last Two Dollars.

[@seanswinton6242]

Yes. The MALAACO Records label is all about this sound! Similarly the Alligator Records which covered Southern, Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago, and Texas Blues styles.

[@njt2347]

@@seanswinton6242 Yeah that's the stuff. Tyrone Davis, Latimore, Denise Lasalle... Great music.

My favorite uncle LOVED ZZ Hill

[@marksanders8028]

ZZ Top took that name to honor ZZ Hill.

[@kimberlyviolaraysor1008]

Thank y'all because I haven't heard this song in so long. Right on 🤗. Everyone and y'all's family always stay blessed and healthy ✝️🙏🛐🕊️

[@williamgreco3046]

Amazing! A reaction to someone many of my generation haven't even heard of. Including me. I've heard of ZZ Hill like when Jay says he's heard of a band but doesn't remember exactly why and never heard a song. So this was a reaction video for me too. I loved it. Thank you.

[@sonjaistheone4614]

This is number one on my Spotify blues music play list! I loved it when I was a little girl and I still do as a middle aged woman!

[@msmon27]

Yessss indeed! If she don't hear this at anything my family does, that means something is wrong! Y'all definitely need to check out Who's Makin Love by Johnny Taylor

[@adamellis6785]

One of my all time favorite songs! I work as a cab driver in Las Vegas, and I play Blues music EVERY NIGHT! I first heard this song back in the 80s, when I went to see comedian Robin Harris (famous for "Bebe's Kids"). This is the song that played as he took the stage. Like ZZ Hill, Robin also died too young.

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

This is Cooking blues. Makes me want to cook and slide from the refrigerator to the pan and back again. 🎶

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Oh.... I love this. New artist added to my Spotify. Cheers.

[@anytimejammin-eva]

Oh yeah! Love ZZ Hill! Me and my girls would go out w/o the guys and the DJ would always dedicate this to us! Great memories!

[@horacerobinson7149]

Continue to R.I.P Mr ZZ Hill. ❤ thanks for this one Jay and Amber.

[@williamprosper2209]

I first heard this by Denise Lasalle...great song.

[@mizzcarla7191]

YES !!!

[@coreyjohnson3601]

This is an awesome song. It takes me back to my family reunions

[@deborahabston4222]

Love me some ZZ Hill!

[@rbb9753]

I had a busy day scheduled, but now I’m tempted to cancel a doctor’s appointment to dig through my Malaco discs. My wife would be furious, but she doesn’t understand blues, being from the Chicago suburbs.

[@jayonnawarren3511]

reminds me of my late grandfather who raised and his stereo in the living room , thanks for the reaction and may he rest in peace 🪽💕

[@btetschner]

Really well-organized song, I also like the phrase Down Home.

[@zachnewman6971]

I guarantee no one is recommended Taj Mahal. That’s because everyone sucks. He’s the most underrated blues man there is. Leaving trunk Everybody’s got to change Cakewalk Into town Queen bee Cortina cortina Statesboro blues. You can’t go wrong with any of these! For Pete sake, cakewalk into town features a tuba- and just a tuba- and a whistle solo. It’s amazing.

[@rockythorn9558]

ZZ Hill- “Right Arm for your Love”

[@garryleblanc4002]

I recommend you guys have a listen to Canadian bluesman Colin James & The Little Big Band.....great blues and jazz rock n roll music for one and all....!!! Peace and love to all from your friendly neighbor from the north...🙏❤️😎🇨🇦

[@cjpew]

I've suggested Colin so many times I've lost count. Maybe one day . . .

Albert Collins as stated below, and also "You Shook Me" from Led Zeppelin is a great blues song.

Boom boom by John Lee Hooker First time ever I saw your face by Roberta Flack Time to say goodbye by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli At Last by Etta James I know a little by Lynyrd Skynyrd Long cool woman by The Hollies

[@darrelljohnson5764]

Music for the Soul !😎

[@dwainwilder7337]

Amber, it would be great to hear and see you react to some Millie Jackson. To start, “If Loving you is Wrong”. and “If you’re not back in love by Monday”. She would fit into Female Friday nicely!

[@misterdoe]

I would love to see them react to her song "Hypocrisy."

[@dwainwilder7337]

That’s a good one as well. It takes me right back to the 70s. There are so many other recordings from her that I could suggest.

[@lydmarl.475]

OMY, I never thought u two would go to this route, great memories of this singer. You should listen to this other hit of him, from back in the day: “Love is so good when you are stealing it”, I would say this one would be more Soul, than Blues.

[@ddgardner5671]

And "Cheatin' In The Next Room".

[@LMmccallL57]

My great-grandmother and all of her daughters loved playing this at family gatherings. My brother and cousin still blast it on occasion. 😃 They were also fans of Bobby Blue Bland, BB King, and Johnnie Taylor (though Johnnie sang more than blues).

[@kimcutts6153]

Not heard this one before. I can just imagine Eric Clapton singin this. 😊❤🎼

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Grown folk music right here!

[@lindasalaki9404]

Wow, that's Awesome

[@JonS0107]

Thanks! And I know you've done several reactions to Anita Baker, but I don't think you've done "You Bring Me Joy". It brings back so many great memories.

[@tomseidel2992]

Great stuff! How about some Johnnie Taylor? Maybe "Running Out of Lies " or "These Last Two Dollars ".

[@cjpew]

Canadian Blues - Colin James (someone else asked in this post, I've suggested so many times also); Downchild Blues Band

[@judithmichael2826]

This was the first blues tape I bought...got it at Walmart over 30 years ago and I still have the cassette tape😂❤

[@robertaistrope9602]

Hello Jay & Amber I have some people you might want to react to. Collin James His more recent stuff is very much blues flavoured, David Wilcox, Gary Moore, David Gogo, Savoy Brown, Downchild Blues Band, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band Jazz/Blues, Long John Baldry Blues Rock, John Mayhall Blues Band, James "Blood" Ulmer, Pat Travers These are just the ones I can name off the top of my head, I know there are many more. (oh yes there is also The Powder Blues Band Pop Blues but fun.)

[@rbb9753]

Oh, and someone who doesn’t get recommended enough: T-Bone Walker. Most would recommend “Stormy Monday”, but I’d offer “I Wanna See My Baby”. This version is with Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, and the underrated Jump Jackson on drums. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJvad5WKhdeXhs0

[@rockythorn9558]

Johnny Taylor- “Disco Lady” “I believe in you” “Soul Heaven”

[@CraftyInICT]

Yes yes yes! More blues please. How about some Ronnie Baker Brooks and “Take Me Witcha”

[@johnboydTx]

Time for Albert King 🥃🥃💙💙✌️

[@bluesdog645]

I’m out of my mind that you chose a ZZ Hill tune!

[@jeffking4269]

Thank you-the good shit

[@jdanderson2]

WOW, What a great choice. now that you have experienced ZZ Hill its time to get down on some Little Milton. I recommend "Grits aint groceries" and The Blues is Alright.

[@ramcarred]

Oh Yeah! Cafe Music straight out of the Jukebox. Check out Cleo's Back by Jr Walker and the All Stars!

[@trjbrew]

Try "Steppin out and Steppin in".

[@debbieburton7886]

❤ I'm so glad you got to hear this..please react to Clarence Carter "patches"...❤❤

[@EricRussell-ud8sg]

Some other southern soul/blues artist you would like is Willie Clayton- Meet Me Tonight and Three People and Johnnie Taylor, just about everything he put out is good but some of the better ones - Disco Lady - Good Love - Too Many Memories and Sending You A Kiss are some of my favorites.

[@dinocanton2494]

Lonnie Mack, Blues with a little country added he also played with SRV and Albert Collins, a good one to start with might be Oreo Cookie Blues
