Hubert played at my stage @Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest. What a kind man, I was in awe. His style was so effortless, so smooth, so bluesful! This interview shows the real man! Only thing it doesn't show are the coolest slippers with gold-embroidered guitars.
I got spend about half an hour with Hubert backstage at The Fleece in Bristol, UK in 2004. He's such a warm character, I love the guy!!! Plus he was the first blues player I ever heard! When I told him I've stolen a lot of his lines he said "Let me tell ya sumthin' I steal a lotta shit too".
Thank you for posting this. Hubert is great. If you get the chance to buy the dvd "Lightning in a bottle", take it. Buy 2 copies and give one to your best friend. It is worth buying just for Hubert doing Killing Floor.
Saw Hubert back in the early sixties on the legendary Folk Blues Tour in Bradford UK with Howlin Wolf, Sonny Boy and a host of other great blues men. Of course, back then I was only interested in the music and had no idea what a very nice man he was. Delightful clip - thank you so much.
yea seriously. Although Hendrix and Jerry Garcia learned late, at 16 and 15 respectively so it seems that the later you start... although it might be that the more you're into music, the better you learn.
*sigh* tears me apart tho xD i started 3 years ago and i'm 22 =( but i'm trying to learn quick xD it's the best part anyway haha. if it's one thing that Ts me off...it's having emotion and a guitar and having no idea how to show it except in cover songs xD but i'm getting there...hopefully.
srv didnt bring blues back the blues has never left cuz the king is still alive (BB) and guys like buddy guy not to take a thing a way from stevie tho but the blues is going nowhere!
yeah but im simply saying.....you dont need to be black to have the blues...or play them...you just need a reason...i hate how ppl ride down on white people...
There will never be another Hubert Sumlin. I love listening to his stories.
RIP, Hubert. So glad I wasn't introduced to your music. Respect.
I could spend 100 lifetimes talking and playing with Hubert,He's seen it all !!!!!

He was just a very nice guy from interviews I watched. Always a smile on his face. Seemed like he was happy where ever he was.
Talk’in about his brother is so honest and kind.

Great post, thanks! That was a great way to spend 10 minutes.
Talk about living history. I've read a lot of interviews with Hubert Sumlin but it's so much better hearing it from the man himself.
Hes awesome... i met him last week... you can hardly understand what hes saying now and his fingers are slower these days but hes still awesome

He's in a room of 14000 dollar gibsons, and he's making sweet sounds with that Harmony! Shows its the archer, not the arrow.
