Some of us play guitar and quite well and then a few of us set the standards for playing guitar. Calvin is in that anointed second group that shows us the way. He's simply a revelation-tone, phrasing, feel, taste-you can't play the instrument any better than this.
That is some of the most musical guitar playing I've heard in quite a long time. I was very fortunate to catch Calvin playing at "Bradley's" the piano bar/jazz club in NYC on University Place some years back when he visited Manhattan and he is truly one of the underrated greats of music, not just as a guitarist, because he is much more than that. Outstanding and full of taste, soul and a hell of a sound on the instrument. Truly making that guitar sing! Bravo!!
Around 30 years ago I bought the Jimmy Forrest album that featured a guitarist that grabbed my ear out of a great lineup of musicians. We had to check out the liner notes on the back to see who was making such fine music . Now all this time later thanks to UA-cam we get to see and hear more great music from Calvin Newborn. Still enjoy it so much. Thanks for posting.

Love for what you do is the trick or secret or whatever just love whatever you do

This is GORGEOUS...PURE soulfulness.
It's up there with Jimmy Ponder's version that he did in the 1970s.
So beautiful. Calvin is a class act.
