Roy Clark & Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown with Going Down The Road Feeling Bad

[@dougsharp605]

Roy Clark one of the best guitar players on the planet🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Gatemouth Brown is better. Even Roy would admit that.

Roy Clark was so lovable because he shaped his playing to fit with the people around him. Roy was an astonishing player. Brilliant and fast. But he never let his prodigous talent overwhelm his ability to be entertaining. Roy made everybody smile.

[@robinfra52]

This is wonderful. I was friends with Clarence. Yes, I'm a guitar player. He was one of the nicest people ever.

[@hog7203]

A friend of mine (RIP) played pedal steel in Gatemouth's band and was also his musical director. Also played with him when he and Roy was doing a lot of shows together. He said the same thing about Gatemouth. Said he was also one of the most talented musicians he'd ever known and played with. And he'd performed with a ton of great ones throughout his career.

[@charles56737]

Damn he is good lucky you 😂

mr brown was an incredible player who i always thought was overlooked outside of the guitar world.... we knew what a monster he was

[@dbest4541]

My uncle played and toured with Gate for many years. Met him many times, very nice man.

[@Bob-d5j]

Two of the all time greats. Had the pleasure of seeing Gatemouth and Lightnin Hopkins in 1979. Great show.

[@johndaugherty4127]

Wow! Those were the days.

[@glen7228]

Golly look at that, guitarists shredding it up while playing actual songs. Amazing!

[@bryanmannoia8410]

Roy was by far one of the best guitar players ever! there wasn't a style he couldn't play. Gatemouth is fantastic, too. wish this was on heehaw back in the day.

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

I’ve been playing guitar since I was four, and I often forget that there are more folks listening who have never picked up an instrument in their life, but just like the music. THIS is why I write songs. These guys rock, and I wish stuff like this would become mainstream again. There used to be a lot of class in the entertainment industry, but today…well…

[@Kahuna54]

First time I’ve seen this duet, great to watch 2 legends jamming!

[@raygunner2437]

Great blending of musical styles - they are having such a good time - warms my heart ❤

[@HeathWatts]

Hee Haw was a great show. I watched it when I was a kid. I can remember it from around 1970 or so and watched it through the 70s. Excellent playing and singing. Roy Clark seemed like he was a great guy. Gatemouth was awesome.

[@TheSnoopindaweb]

HAW~HEE❕

[@wayne00k]

Two music greats together - thanks for bringing this one back!

[@cenestpas]

Just a little bit of C&W whitewashing going on.

[@WildBillCox13]

I can see it now: No Exit reprised; with Roy Clark and Danny Gatton trading cycles forever. Props to Gatemouth as an icon of genre.

[@SuperMickey57]

Roy Clark, always a gentleman, does his thing in his first solo, then leaves a lot on the table on the exit solo so he doesn't outshine his guests.

[@NURREDIN]

People don't realize just how GOOD Roy Clark actually was. I had to click on this because "Gatemouth" used to visit Cincinnati where I lived at the time, and he always took the time to talk to us young aspiring musicians. I will always remember playing something and he'd say " PLAY IT ONE MO GIN" (play it again)! RIP Roy Clark and Gatemouth Brown.

[@stevetessier8532]

Mr.Clarence was my friend..God rest his soul..!!

[@Sam-wc5ww]

I have never seen this before. But what a blast.

[@nolongerblocked6210]

Gotta love seeing/hearing old traditional songs. I always loved when the Grateful Dead played this, I must've seen it 20x over the yrs of following the boys 🕉🍄⚡️☯️☮️

[@michaeldean9338]

Gates is Gates. Always a pleasure :) That said, it's a real shame many didn't/don't realize how talented and accomplished both Roy Clark and Glen Campbell were on their instruments--- particularly Roy. He demonstrated some pretty nifty licks in that exchange. Thanks so much for sharing.

I was lucky enough to see Gatemouth in the early 80s at the Wax Museum nightclub in DC, still have a button I bought that night. Never got to see Roy live, only on Hee Haw....

Thank you for posting! I had never heard of Clarence Brown. One helluva solo starting around 2:30.

[@mikefule]

Talented multi instrumentalist. There are lots of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown recordings on Spotify in a range of styles. He was called "Gatemouth" because a school teacher once told him when he sang, it sounded like the hinges on a rusty gate.

[@andrewcowin3815]

@@mikefule Interesting. I'll check out the other videos. Here, he reminds me of a combination of Buddy Guy and Roy Buchanan. Pure joy in being a musician and he looks like a good natured man who sees the humor life. .

[@Andy_Hinners]

Gate was the Sheriff of Slidell, Louisiana for a number of years. I got to see him in Jan 1991 in Lafayette, LA at a club called POETS. He played the guitar as though it was a horn. If you can find any of his Duke/Peacock recordings from the '59s, you'll hear the licks that influenced a bunch of rock guitarists.

[@motherfromwayback]

I've always loved music. When I first heard ball and chain by Janis Joplin I was instantly converted to a hard core rock and roll fan Any great musician deserves kudos, but I lean towards guitar players that defy logic. People of course like Hendrix, page, beck, Zappa, and more. But Roy Clark takes the cake. I believe he missed his calling. He could have rewritten rock history.

@@CorneiliusLibowitztheir covers were usually better than their own stuff ' live' in my experience. tighter, in tune, made sense, and usually ended with going somewhere immediately after. i wish i had spent more of my time in the BA chasing cipollina and company. happy trails
