@@joshgraham396 may I? Justin Johnson is exceptional and unique. This guy is more traditional. I'm not sure they are comparable. This just had a great sound to the ear for music. Justin is a great sound for technique.
I discovered your video in 2007 before I joined the Marine Corps. Since then I haved referred back to this video for a lot of reasons, to make me happy when I am sad, feel better when I'm feelin good, or just to jam. I have showed countless people this video and everyone I showed it to can feel the soul you put into this. Thanks for posting this video, and I am really happy you decided to pick up a guitar one day, it did the world a favor. You can really play brother.
I stumbled across this video by accident when it was 4 years old or so. I have visited and revisited to much enjoyment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is by far the best version of Crossroads i ever heard, apologies to late Robert Johnson, but Oliver have such a rhytmic flow in this version, and he sings great, and such a master on the Dobro slide.10+++++
Holy fuck man, this is just wonderful. You make it look easy, but you got a natural blues soul, for sure. Your voice reminds me a lot of Clapton's voice.
Oliver - you have a great voice and some great rhythmic vibe on that Dobro . Very Kick ass authentic Blues and what a groove for just 1 guitar ! Excellent to great sir !
Just found this today. This creative arrangement is phenomenal! Soulful, funky, and gives tribute to the original Robert Johnson and cover Eric Clapton versions. Great voice and creative playing!
Jesse- Anyone with ears can easily understand why your father was so proud. Timing, talent, and feel.... you got and it's natural. Well done brother as you create fantastic music and display your gift for others to enjoy. BRAVO!!!!
I watch this vidéo, almost once a week since i first watch it. Now i play Open style all most of the time because of your version of this song. Wonderfull, voice, wonderfull picking, wonderfull style, wonderfull everything
I remember smoking weed and listening to this with my best friend when we were like 16. I saw on my Facebook memories he talked about it and I looked it up and it’s still up, which is sick. Haven’t seen that friend in years, but I hope he’s doing well. Thanks for the memories.
15~ 20 years ago I discovered this and it's still here brilliant,
A Real Blues 🐈 cat!
I remember watching this for the first time nearly 10 years ago. Still Fresh. cream always rises to the top.
are you still alive?
Same here!!!
one of the oldest videos in UA-cam, still the best slide blues I've ever listened to!!
Not taking anything from this guy but you should listen to Justin Johnson before you say something like that

Listen to Peter green,,,,you'll never look back
I could hug this version forever.
Thanks, Oliver, for your love of the blues.
"This is a real blues cat" hahaha
Still the best solo version on the tube! I keep coming back every couple years.
Your voice is strikingly similar to Eric Clapton. Your playing is outstanding.
I thought the exact same thing!
His voice is strikingly similar, his playing is strikingly better lol
reminds me of SRV too
LOL
.I know right!..He MUST be gigging with that voice and guitar chops.
ivan ilchev hahaha as if
I discovered this video 10 or 12 years ago and still to this day I’ll start thinking about it and get on here and listen to it.
same for me!
I’m back, always come back to this video every so often ❤❤❤
I've been listening to this song for almost 12 years now. Thank you!
Still listening!

_Thank you so much
Man you got a real Clapton-sounding singing voice! That was one smooth cover, bro, well done :D
Still the best Dobro rendition of the song *EVER!*
love, love this performance. have been playing this video many times for years. never gets old.
Still one of my favorites of all time. Standing the test of time far more than others. Hope the world finds you well sir!
I was white when the song started. Now I'm black.
I could listen to this all day.
Me too !!!
...if it's a contest...
lol. me too
I recon a better comparison is Rich or Poor.
@@bendickinson6264 or northern southern
This is the best version that I've heard.
Erin Erickson I second that.
Erin Erickson, me too!
Erin Erickson Yup! Super bad!!
+Erin Erickson With the exception of Robert Johnson....
steve little, nope, he's pretty terrible at singing. The best performers of Robert Johnson songs are Eric Clapton and Rory Block.
This is one of the best things I've seen and heard on UA-cam in a very long time.
I heard this 13 years ago. It changed my taste in music immediately. Thank you. Still an absolute gem of a video.
Holy crap I feel old. I remember when I first came across this video 12-14 years ago. I watched the heck out of it back then. Great stuff, man!
This is the best I've ever heard for this song on UA-cam!!!
The 90 people who gave this a thumbs down are either jealous or just plain stupid. Good job man
or else have some sort of hearing problem, also may know nothing about the blues!
Amenonat
They'll be fans of x-factor and the likes
Really good version of "Crossroad blues", thanks!
I keep coming back to this as one of my all time favourite UA-cam vids...a master class, and my favourite version of Crossroads ever.
I stumbled across this video by accident when it was 4 years old or so. I have visited and revisited to much enjoyment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I wonder if the cat is still alive...
That cat will live forever.
Oah, I just found out about htis musicstyle, and fell in love with it.
This is by far the best version of Crossroads i ever heard, apologies to late Robert Johnson, but Oliver have such a rhytmic flow in this version, and he sings great, and such a master on the Dobro slide.10+++++
Well I found this 16 years later, but it's awesome, such a nice take on this song.
Great voice and some great licks!
I love the rhythm, I love the vocals, and the way you make this resonator cry!
Just plain mind blowing!
absolutely awesome. Thank you.
Bro! You have an awesome voice, that some kick ass playing too, cool video man!
sold his soul no doubt in my mind
The “Spirt of the Blues” past,present and future flows thru him. Sweeeeet!
Terrific playing. Soulful performance. I listen to this several times a day now. Keep posting tunes!
Holy fuck man, this is just wonderful. You make it look easy, but you got a natural blues soul, for sure. Your voice reminds me a lot of Clapton's voice.
OUTSTANDING!! I have been collecting my fave versions of Blues songs, bro this is better than Clapton.
He's definitely a Blues cat🐱 Looks like he enjoyed every minute of this song as I did! 🙂
This is my top favourite...brings a mile every time I watch. just fab.
Been listing to you for 10 years now this song always hits the spot. I hope to hear new music from you soon
Wish I could play like that!
Ex-guitarist, I must say, nice work!
Gary Chandler pick that thing back up my brother smoke a joint and play some zeppelin!!
I only wish you had this on a high quality recorded mp3 version for my iTunes library. That'd just be too awesome.
This was just DOPE ! Thank you for this magnificent tune !
Holy shit! It has taken me 16 years to discover this. I am blown away. So gritty, raw and honest. I love it.
Thank you , I‘m glad you like it , Take care my friend
Great job, I'd love to get you in the studio and record this stuff.
Wonderful
the playing is all Robert Johnson. The singing is all Clapton. I know, i listed hundreds of times both versions :) Great stuff, man!
sound s a lot like clapton ,,very good
Yeh, I agree. Its very close to Claptons voice!!
But this man can play better!
The real blues cat is back. What a treasure.
Just love it, could listen to this chap all day. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Can you make a tutorial on how to play this please!!!
Done:-)ua-cam.com/video/neajVzmQhuY/v-deo.html

Hey ,thank you..you might wanna check out this vid,take care,olli ua-cam.com/video/neajVzmQhuY/v-deo.html

Oliver - you have a great voice and some great rhythmic vibe on that Dobro .

Thank you very much ,that's way too kind,take care and best wishes,Olli
open A-Tuning (E A E A C# E)
Best interpretation I've heard for years. Us it your own and do you mind if I steal it for our regular blues nights (will def credit you!)
I lived my crossroads back then; I discovered Jesus Christ. Amen.
Amen❤
I face Crossoads every day ...I am psychotic
what a great find to stumble across on You tube...LOVE your playing,singing,guitar and cat!!keep you the great work!!
I really love this jam, i had fun playing along with this one wish i could jam with this guy.

Is it weird watching a video of yourself 9 years later?
that was wicked. if you were any better i would swear you sold your soul ;)
💯👍
i did
This is a beautiful song....thank you for sharing.!!!!
amazing sound
i wonder what his regular job is. i would be dissapointed to hear hes a construction worker or something
It would epitomise the blues if he was.
Apparently he's a steel drivin' man.
This.
...I guess your idol is Eric Clapton....
farko63 you mean ROBERT JOHNSON?
curtis loew lol
I randomly thought of this video today - love it after all these years!
This is magnificent. Robert Johnson would be proud with how you've treated his song.
Thank you so much for that Oliver. It was absolutely fantastic! Luv luv luved it!!Randy
The foot tap is perfect and adds to the character of the song!
Love the music and Love that little blues cat Thankyou
Just found this today. This creative arrangement is phenomenal! Soulful, funky, and gives tribute to the original Robert Johnson and cover Eric Clapton versions. Great voice and creative playing!
Dang discovered this absolute JEWEL of a cover only now after 14 years... this was made almost at the same time I was born dang
15yrs man and I still come back to this 👍
Magical, just magical.
Beautiful BLUES 🎵🎼 BRAVOOO 👏👏👏

Love the hat, the cat and just everything else about this. Great rendition. :)
Talent, simplicity and sensuality ...
you nailed this....very hard to do. Nice! Great singing voice along with a really nice touch with the slide.
Great rendition, I'm going to steal that backbeat. Thanks!
Holy shit! That sent chills up the spine and a beat to the foot! Think I'll have to start playing again. Best version I've heard!
I love it, Oliver -- and your blues cat, too!
So great! Your voice even sounds like E. Clapton's!
Bravo!!
Really nice playing and singing.
13 years youtube. Its been 13 years since i first watched and liked this, and today you remind me. Why so long?
Great sound from the dobro and top notch execution. This may be the coolest instrument ever invented.
