These recordings and Sam Chatmon are priceless. Self taught miracle of music.

Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤❤😊❤

[@livingthroughtheblue]

I guess Sam knew my old lady too !!

[@fuzzy6813]

I think deep down inside he knew quite a few of them or you can say he's had quite experience with most of them just like the song😂

[@TheJessC]

@@fuzzy6813 when you pick guitar like him you have to beat the women off you with the guitar. I'm sure this man has stole many women from some unlucky men.

[@aceburns8673]

a whole new meaning to playing in your bedroom

[@venatorus1000]

I don't know how old he was when these songs were recorded but he's got a brilliant voice!

[@tomitstube]

he was 81, closer to 82. he would die a month after his 86th birthday. beautiful voice and a sharp mind to remember all those tunes.

[@SlimDavenport]

Was born in 1900 according to new research. 78 years old in this video.

God-DAMN-it..this guy can STILL dig deep and do terrific gutbucket blues at 81 years of age! (Sam Chatmon: born, 1897)

Thank you Mr Lomax, your work has seriously widened my music library and opened my eyes, everyone here must read the land where the blues began, x

[@thebluemax100]

the freedom of the blues. Just tell it like it is.

[@brian5o]

I wasn't familiar with Sam Chatmon however once I saw his face, I knew this was going to be good. You can just tell by looking at him that he has lived life and has some amazing stories to tell through song. Good stuff right here!

[@jay94271]

I thought this man was an amazing musician but after hearing this song I realize that he's so much more... He's a hero! An absolute speaker of truth! Wish you were still around to have a talk with my x wife!

[@MsLou-su5pj]

Alan Lomax Archive, Thank you for all these great videos of Sam Chatmon. Today is the first time I’ve heard of him. Glad I came across this. What history of an old blues singer!

[@Soyouvelosttheloveofyourlife.]

This is really amazing music, the scope and importance of this project is fucking cool

[@triadblues]

[@jayf6806]

So happy that some people were smart enough, and enjoyed this type of music so much, they searched out players like this! So good!

[@poppinoffgamers1543]

This is badass

[@fridgemagnet]

pure gold

[@BP2U]

as good as it is here, can you imagine his voice in his younger days :o

[@Joedamusickidd]

He and his brother was singing a similar Charlie Patton Shake it break it blues

[@americasmaker]

That must have been the slang around their way back then.

[@fuzzy6813]

This was excellent words can't describe how good that tune is I felt every beat and I think at the same time he was talking about my life story shaking that bed last time you going to shake it with me😂

[@catdaddy3302]

Happy birthday Mr. Sam.

[@tomitstube]

brilliant musician, none better.

[@erinbarger3822]

one of my all time favorites!

[@swim_ad]

Them true blues

[@trudybradt6413]

Love this.

Cool!!!!

[@ricobullock4690]

Notice how he uses Charley’s “Shake it you can break it” lyrics🙏🏿

[@americasmaker]

That saying is not "Charley's". Shake It Don't Break It is black American vernacular that can still be heard today in Southern Hip Hop.

[@bluesharp59]

Nice video and you got my thumbs up.

[@townesfan10]

he put a little extra into this one

[@edwardbenes5015]

Good stuff Thanks

[@flagwanker6346]

Need to try and record this song!!

[@onethreesix]

Best song ever

[@GeneHrsy]

❤

[@BushMonkey10]

People don't understand this is what I mean, when I say I like country.

[@SilverLoggerhead]

❤❤❤

[@seancasey6793]

Okay, thats its' it, I'm growing my beard and selling my soul.

Lol😂

[@cheayunju]

[@leonidastheking7830]

a lost treasure

[@jwbland8375]

I swear this gentleman is from south Louisiana. 👍🏻

[@g.davidlawrence8471]

He meant that shit.

[@christianmccall6825]

Did this guy possibly change his name from Aaron McCall at some point? I'm sure this is him.

[@Alanoffer]

There's an interview on you tube where he talks about his father getting the name chatmon from a slave master ,it's interesting to hear

[@mississippilive]

reffoelcnu alouncelal he's one of the Mississippi Sheiks.

[@mississippilive]

I've heard tell of that story too, how he got his name. Never seen the video, would love to find it

[@adammccardle8741]

Is this ol timer still at it

[@dejohnson2277]

I had to kick more than a few to the curb. For all of these misgivings.

[@diegoambrosio]

It puzzles me why the media doesn't put these guys upfront... is it because they're too soulful? Too true? Too heartfelt? Probably... right, Lady Gaga?

[@ajrollo1437]

Being dead is probably a major reason.

[@TheYagimi]

It’s takes a certain broken kind of soul to enjoy this type of music.

[@matthewp3709]

… he says on a media platform

[@DogOpoly]

Anybody know what ringing this is in?

[@violinmke]

This guy goes back to the 30's performing with the Mississipi Sheiks and played as a street busker.

[@Rockenstein68]

God it’s Stevie Ray ‘s Great grandpa
