Blind Willie Mactell would be so proud that someone learned to sing and play his great song as well as him. Fabulous.

[@garykoenig319]

That was sure enough the best version of that old song I've heard.Clean crisp picking and excellent voice. Thanks for that Edward.

[@michaeljoseph9722]

It is great, but Deep Purple's version is as great as his, check it out !

[@chrisezelle]

😎❤️

[@1DarkBaron]

No joke, you are the BEST modern blues musician. I love your art.

[@roberth9948]

My fingers need to rethink their place in life after watching this video. clarity and timing 10/10

[@derin111]

My favourite version!

[@capnstevoanythinggoes]

Very nice

[@pepper6324]

TIP THIS DUDE!!!

[@richardfolkman]

Son, we are all in this together! I pity any man or woman who tries to destroy our American past. Thank you Mr. Phillips, it's worth it hearing your take on this style and era of American music.

[@markhall7951]

Just found this guy. Playing it forward and keeping it alive. Great player. Voice and guitar.

[@Cguy7]

I couldn't tell if you were Jack White or Eric Andre clicking on this video. Haha Great playing!

[@TheSomagish]

Noice!

[@TheSomagish]

This dude rocks

[@slow-mo_moonbuggy]

I was going to say Leslie West from Mountain but I am an old guy.

[@johnnyrocker7495]

That's superb.

[@uncleandyguitarherbst1157]

Man that sounds sooo good. Blues on Edward!!!! You can perform these blues classics so well. Love it.

[@ezvin8916]

Seen you do Robert Johnson tune as well. Exquisite and stunning. You have the soul of a true blues troubadour.

[@nicolen.9642]

EZ Vin Very nice definition: " blues troubadour ".👍

[@ivannovotny4552]

@@nicolen.9642 New one on me.

[@chrissharratt4615]

That’s killed the boredom no words for the feel really

[@pianoboogie51]

This is the perfect cover well done

[@Borat_Kazakh]

Great job as usual. This music is an American treasure. Please don't stop keeping real blues alive!!

[@rickbluericksolomon4077]

Nicely done

[@epipick]

Gotta have a 12-string in your arsenal. This is great.

[@dagnabbit6187]

Well you get my nomination for being a National Treasure like Blind Willie McTell. I do Fred Sokolow’s Open D version of this but we all know Blind Willie’s 12 String is the definitive !

[@briancantrell3795]

McTell was a big influence on the British Bands of the 1960s. Good Job!!

[@joeshea1010]

very nice thank you

[@guitarman3396]

Respect.

[@zenheretic]

by far my favorite version. when i cover this song, id like to partially base it off this one

[@eddielee6490]

WE are missing you !

[@blakereiney1284]

[@patriciajrs46]

What sixteen silly people didn't like this? This is good. Whoever they are, they have no appreciationof music.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Fantastic. You owned this great tune. Love your singing and playing style. Very natural. A true bluesman. Thanks

[@nicolen.9642]

Yes! blues troubadour! We need more stuff like this these days! 👍👍👍🎶

[@TheMidnightModder]

I love how softly you can play a 12 string and still make it roar 🤤

[@firmestudio2033]

Greetings from Brazil. Awesome blues song and performance! Thank you.

[@ethankiter9323]

Just some good down home country blues

[@daduck100]

I have been a fan of Willie McTell since I first heard him back in the late 1960's. My favorite of all the old Blues artists.Mr.Phiilips, you do Willie proud, superb rendition of this song.

[@ScienceOfTheMind]

Wow dude just wow.

[@flamencoprof]

Great stuff Ed! I first heard this song as done by Taj Mahal back in the early '70s, imported an American pressing all the way down South to NZ. I like this version as well, wish I had a 12-string.

[@JoeMode213]

Wonderful!

[@leemartin9156]

Amazing sound and talent! TY for sharing and bringing back some great music.🎵🌠🎶

[@daleschimpf]

Awesome version of this great song!

[@missbritt288]

Willie Mctells Masterpiece ... This song is part Autobiography as well ... Statesboro is a city where he used to hang round during tobbaco season , his parents really did die at a young age - True to life songs , respect to the artist who paved the way

[@jackd.ripper7613]

No bullshit. You belong on Bonamassa's "Keeping the Blues Alive" cruise. You ride that 12-string like a rented mule, son.

[@arthurc1971]

All of your videos are great. Thank you for sharing.

[@leetaylorchristian]

Thomson, Ga in the house. i grew up hearing he was from Wrens, Ga. but it is the same basic area. the fest in his tribute every year is held in Thomson tho.

[@robdgz8719]

Awesome!

[@raystanczak4277]

Keeping it alive! Like the late, great John Fahey used to do. Sweet guitar.

[@AaronSpielman]

Great playing - and your voice is *perfect* for this tune.
