Seems like it's round midnight and big daddy is feelin' his oats,just doin what comes natural and singing the blues to one of the true masterpieces of early blues( check those chord changes,just angel dust dropped down from heaven). Might sound too old timey for some but those blues are for real and I'm feeling it. The depression taught us many lessons ,this is one of the better..The tim8ng on the solo is sublime
I've been playing this song for about 30 years and it's still one of my favourites.Lovely version.I would never have thought of using an archtop for this style(I haven't got one anyway!)but it sounds great.
I agree this is very good but his vocals are not even on the same planet as Bessie Smith's whose version made every subsequent version redundant. Still great guitar playing and much superior to Clapton's feeble attempt
This is an absolutely brilliant version of this great song, a tour de force, thank you so much, I've been practising from your tutorial for a few weeks now and I'm definitely improving, it's the best lesson for this song on UA-cam. Chapeau, daddystovepipe.
I showed my brother this performance and he answers me: Me hundo en la melancolia! Can you feel it Daddy?, you speak the greatest and most universal language...
Thank you Alain, it's quite an honor to receive praise from the granddad and founding father of the french country blues! All the best and good health to you.
Brother, What a Great Choice Of Songs.. That is one of my favorite songs of all times.. you put your facial expressions in the best places, because that's how i look when i am down and out, thanks for the video.. you have a lot of talent, keep making , videos for us , Cousin Figel
What can I say about your playing and singing that hasn't been said already? You are simply tremendous! I listen to you over and over again. Thanks for sharing. Joel
I really adore this version! I really looking forward to get the tabs (i ordered them immediately) :D Thank you for this version! Best regards from Germany
Have to put my two cents in again! Best version other than the original I have heard. I am really impressed with your clean style of pickin" and your vocal chops! Happy pickin" brother!
Thanks Daddy Stovepipe____-I have been working on this for a long time...thank you for your contribution thats some tough stuff______damn thumb thing - bass line is killin me
Wow! I play that song on the guitar but I don't sound like that. I agree with these other comments. I think that's the best version I ever heard. What great guitar playing.
Wow, I've been trying to find a version of this I really like for a bit now. Bessie Smith, Eric Clapton, BB King, Jimmy Cox, even John Lennon (who butchered it to pieces) and I guy sitting in a dark room with a microphone blew them away. Thanks for putting this out dude, added to my playlist and one of my favorites.
Christmas has come early for me? always wanted to learn Leon Rathbone and some great blues ragtime and bless you your the man, So just want to say thank you from Wales UK also what is that old guitar your playing delightful sweet tones. So Merry Xmas
Daddy you know I ❤ you. I have a request, please can you play (Bring me my shot gun) Hopkins, and sing it in your bad ass tone. And one last thing daddy, the hells angels named me whispers. Finding you was a wonderful thing.
You're one but of the greatest guitarists I've ever heard.
I've played this song for a couple of years now.... and I feel like I just heard it for the first time. Very nice, very very nice.
This has to be one of the best versions I have ever heard, of this great song....thankyou
Daddy thank you for soothing my poor old heart..

A life time of dedication and mastery of a craft personified.
Votre interprétation Daddy est la plus forte...

What atmosphere...
Raspy vocal - bluesy fingerstyle...
Great performance of a great song!

Without doubt the best version of this song I've ever heard, it brings to the fore the pathos of the lyrics.
my thinking exactly. hard to get this right unless you've been there
I agree this is very good but his vocals are not even on the same planet as Bessie Smith's whose version made every subsequent version redundant. Still great guitar playing and much superior to Clapton's feeble attempt
Found this nine years too late. Brilliant - thank you for sharing it.
