I've been a fan of Rory for quite a few years. Every time I hear her playing it makes me want to get my guitar out and play.That is what you call an inspiration. What a dream come true if she could bring her family over for some drinks ,a cookout,and some jamming together!

Seen this lady a couple of times live... She is superb and I'm glad to see her on here at last! Thanks much for posting...

I saw Rory back in 83 at a blues festival. Turned me on to a whole new style of blues. I bought her High Heeled Blues album (yes, vinyl) and promptly wore it out.

A lovely video! Rory is the very best female delta blues guitar player/singer of all time and has done more then anyone in preserving teh genre - it's that simple!

Yeah right. I WISH I had a so little soul. Rory is just about my favorite player right now. I have learned as much watching her style and rhythms as anyones.

I just saw her in concert a few weeks ago (A. M. San Diego.) The show was amazing! She is an artist in full possession of her craft. She may sound a little bit emphatic from time to time, but that is part of her personality ( a strong personality, indeed; but one that also includes a soft, more lyrical side, that is evident in her own songs.) Her guitar and her vocals just filled the whole place...

I just keep coming back to the 3 W.C. Handy awards that she has. I think that is enough for anyone who knows anything about guitar to understand how good she is. All the nay-sayers apparently don't have a grasp of that yet...

Bonnie Raitt would actually cream over this version and I am sure she knows and appreciates her. This woman is real, the know-it-all critics of a year ago haven't a clue about the blues, music or musicians. She is genuine, she learned from real Mississippi Delta blues people. These critics should know that the musicians they think are better would spit on that idea. Quite sad the pollution on the internet of unlearned foolish comments taking up space. Wrong headed, amazingly rude & petty...

I'm a new fan - with all due respect to Clapton, he's nowhere near her ability in carrying Robert Johnson's torch.

Well since this is Delta Blues and not Rhythm & Blues you may be looking in the wrong places. Try bands like The Temptations and Gladys Knight and The Pips for R&B. :-)

its not ONLY his oppinion. im with him on this. she sounds kind of lacking in the feeling department. sure its a great cover, its pretty well note for note.. but lets hear Bonnie Rait play and sing it, and it'd probly have a helluva lot more feeling to it, especially the vocals.

It's a great cover, leave it at that, she's not R.J. We know that, she knows that.

You have no idea how uninformed and ridiculous your criticism of Rory Block is. You couldn't play 1/1000 as well, or with more true understanding if you had 10 lifetimes to practice. You and your ilk could not carry her guitar case. Do a little research; check out her body of work; it's INCOMPARABLE, period.
