She was doing Punk before Rock n Roll was invented! Reminds me of the Velvet underground. I was lucky enouph to meet her at Sun Records in 94 and get an autograph from her.
No. This simply just rock n roll/r&b
@@tacotrejo3830 Yes, but in a more punkisch style.......so good....😎🎸
More like awsome psychobilly
Slow it down and it sounds like Nirvana.
Cool😊
Ultimate bad ass women of rock & roll ticket: Cordell Jackson opens with Sister Rosetta Tharp headlining.
Could you even imagine! It wouldn’t get any better than that.
It's like memaw did a stint in the Velvet Underground.
Amazing that MTV used to actually have original music-related programming that wasn't total shit.
Never listen to MTV for years now. When they featured real music and art, listed and watched all the time. This woman is amazing!
watching the decline into reality tv was a bummer
It IS amazing. I wouldn't have guessed this aired on Empty Vee.
In the 90s there were good shows but often at night. Like 120 minutes ...
yeah and VH1 used to play Can live videos - gone are the days
Daaaam.. found out about Cordell just this morning.. When I hear her tunes.. I can recognize much of those sound familiar from famous rock bands I know today.. Seems like they many of them owe part of their melodies to her.
I interviewed Cordell Jackson at her home in Memphis in 1996 and she was lot of fun. Her house was yellow and car was also yellow! Memphis songwriter Jimmy Denson was our connection to Cordell and she showed us the room that had every Memphis record label from the 1940,s-50,s-60,s etc.She let me tape an hour interview and it was great.
I bet the jack daniels flows at that house
Yes please if you stil have the interview, hang it in youtube!
Thinking to myself, “jeez I see where the Cramps got that psychobilly sound from”, then realizing Linna was a founding member of the Cramps. Cordell Jackson: godmother of psychobilly.
The Cramps was my first thought, too.
How did I get to my age and have only just heard about this incredible woman? NOW I know where all my favourite guitar licks came from, she gave birth to it all. Wow
Right?!!! My wife just shared a link with me about her this week. Wow... Cordell Jackson was SO underrated and ignored! Crazy. . . . she was a great guitarist. Sad that she never enjoyed the recognition and fame she deserved.
Like Tesla.
Except she didn't.
I meet her in 1982 on a Country Music stage show in Millington, TN. I was with the house band when she set in with us. She did 2 songs in her high energy style. You can imagine what it did to a country audience? Mouths flew open. That was before she became famous. We all sorta thought she was a little off in the head but that different combination along with her age is what took her to a Internationale stage. I saw her a few years later on the David Letterman Show. I guess she showed us!
Cordell was an American original and a real sweet gal , besides . The first Female Producer/Engineer. No one told her how to do it , she was the Mother of D.I.Y. .It just took the rest of the world this long to catch up , but we did. Her live shows were great , and Hell , yes , she played rings around Brian Setzer.
I LOVE Brian Setzer. Nice to hear she upped the man.
But she didn't play any single-note solos! I love her energy and style but she's literally playing chord inversions up and down the neck at a breakneck pace. I think it's big-time hyperbole to say she plays rings around Setzer. Let's not get too carried away...
Best thing I’ve seen with the MTV banner in over a decade.
Cordell Jackson (July 15, 1923 - October 14, 2004, R.I.P.
I have accompanied old guys like her, who can't play rhythm on time. It's worse than a nightmare, but if they pay for it, you have to shut up and do whatever appears like an accompaniment. That's not as bad as working hard for a few bills 9 to 5.
The blood on the drums does everything for me
Unique. I love the dress. She did and wore exactly what she wanted
I kind of love that she embraced looking like a granny. She didn't try to make herself look more youthful or more masculine at all, but rather she was content to be the opposite of what most people expected from a rock musician.
She is playing a Hagström so there is viking influences which clearly shows and sounds. Not sure if they play the same song though
Hey this was great. Watching Miriam keep up with the insane timing changes that Cordell is doing by surprise ...they do a good job, and Cordell's amazing!
Miriam was the first drummer of the Cramps! Saw them with Brian and her at CBGBs, when Alex Chilton told me I must go see them...before he recorded them...
He said, "It's so ominous! You keep thinking the bass is going to kick in, and it never does!"
Miriam is great, and I must thank her for putting me on the trail that led me here.
Insane time changes? It's called no being able to keep a beat. And I don't think Miriam was the one have trouble, here.
Sounds like the Cramps
yo thanks for the miriam fact thats sick!!
Would this statement be outta line, the people who say that she probably couldn't read music either. What so-called "great guitarists" nowdays aren't adept at reading sheet music either? Names please (it seems like they could exist!)
Wow! It appears a woman invented Rock n' Roll, long before Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard came along.
Grandmother Rock & Roll
The drummer is great!
@bentogibi That drummer is Miriam Linna, Thee Miriam Linna.
WOW! I love a sista WAY ahead of her time!
Wow! She is a punkrocker! just fantástic!👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼
Really
She's 67 years, 5 months old here!
I respect her very much but she sure did look old for 67! I guess everyone looked like this back then?
@@nick16279skincare was mostly horrible until about 15 years ago.
Blind I would have thought this was Lou Reed.
Rest in Peace Ms.Jackson..she was a legend
Who’s the drummer??
Miriam Linna
A-Bone Walker .
Cordell ripping it up, giving more energy to her performance than any current indie bands today!!!
COOL Hagstrom!!!
🎸🎸🎸🎸
As she said, it's the happiest music
Drummer looks like Karen Carpenter...
And this is 1989, like think about what most music sounded like then.
Apparently, she was super nice and polite, too. I just love the way in the second number some bars get skipped and Miriam keeps right up!
Technically , Miriam was The Cramps' second Drummer , Bryan Gregory's Sister , Pam Balam , being first , but Miriam was the first to put in the time (a year!).
I admire her as an independent producer, writer and guitarist in a time when very few people were playing that sort of music
And as a woman she would when faced EXTRAORDINARY barriers to overcome in the male-dominated industry
But…and it pains me to say this…she’s just not that good! She’s got a couple of licks she plays over and over, but she’s out of time a lot of the time. It’s a jerky performance
There’s footage of her playing on Letterman with his band; to their credit they’re all virtuoso musicians but they are watching her like a hawk as she chops and changes and slips in and out of time
And her guitar always seems out of tune
Wow !! She ROCKS !!
Is that Kurt Loder?!
Shes owning it 😏
crazy old woman jajajaj !!!! i love her!!!
Raw, as it should be. No magic clothes, no smoke and mirrors, just flat out boogie.
She plays from her soul so good
What a cool ass lady! You ROCK Cordell Jackson!
Is her snare drum covered in blood?
Sounds like surf music with a little rockabilly thrown in
UA-cam ads suck. Especially the ones with the word "Patriot" in them.
Grandma could rock it. This stuff is great.
Why have I never heard of this
Probably because she was an independent producer with little to no promotion and financial backing
That..and she’s just not that good
I’ve seen a 1/2 concert of hers and all the songs are pretty much the same
needs a stand up base to complete the sound
Two comments: first, I love her puff sleeve dress--they don't make 'em like that any more; a true fashion statement. Second, what is that guitar she's playing? It says "Hagstrom" on the the body and something link "Cooder" at the tuning end of the neck. I'll have to look this up.
Man, she and Sister Rosetta are the real foundational forces, forget the rest!
She really shouldn't be compared to sister Rosetta at all. Rosetta knew how to actually play the guitar.
Ahh yeah lol, forget all the blues legends, and rock n roll legends. Instead this old bat who can’t play an instrument lol
@@bobbiemiles-foremaniii8747People (average consumers of music) know absolutely nothing about music. It’s unconscionable to compare Sister Rosetta to this lady. The fact that she picked up a guitar and has had a lot of fun playing is great…but gee, let’s not get carried away. Thank you for speaking the truth.
I ought to have saved some of the letters I've gotten over the years where guys told me they were totally obsessed with her. Now that I think of it, they were all dang respectful, too, but maybe they were just scared of me? Ha ha ha ha!! The second number here defies description. It kind of reminds me of a really fun car wreck where no one actually gets hurt and the car is eventually just fine!!!!!!
Elvis was in diapers when she was playing this.
Elvis, chuck and the Beatles followed her lead. Chronologically speaking.
Honor to the Queen of the Rock era!
I had a very similar experience , a couple of years later. Cordell was the coolest. At least she got some , not all , her due.
Eat your heart out Velvets Mo Tucker wasnae the first to drive a RockMachine.She was a Queen.☮🕉
This lady's playing surf punk. I guess that's what u get from the white version of sister Rosetta Thorpe lol id go with the sister myself. This isn't nearly bluesy enough and honestly its pretty off tune and messy lol but again.... punk
Jack whitestrip future wife on drums
Lady Link. rip.
Is that blood all over the floor tom?
this comment section would be eaten alive by a single episode of Ghoulardi
wHO CREATE TH EcRAMPS , THE vELVET u AND THE NICK CAVES AND SO , YOUR GRANDmA
Viva Bomma en Viva Hagström!
Just found out the mighty A-Bones are coming to Paradiso Amsterdam in at about a week, so I'm a happy man..!.. :-)
It's what held your imagination along the way.
Kool as phuk
Wow, was that awful or what? That guitar looks like a 50's era Japanese mistake.
But it's Miriam Linna who was in The Cramps.
Cordell Jackson and Wanda Jackson!
Super GREAT Blues Woman!!Thank You!!
This is the bomb-diggity.
3/19/24 wow she was way before Bad to the Bone George Thorogood
That is the superhumanly gorgeous legend Miriam Linna. Know your P's & Q's. She's done more than you or I could ever fathom... Writes, Founded NORTON records, played with hThe Lyres, The Cramps, A-Bones. She's the most accomplished renaissance women in the music biz.
Tom Holihan not to mention Flamin' Groovies fanatic.
Respect is due. ❤
I don't think we're going to air that here ?. What a twit to say that to her.
¡Joder, qué máquina del garage-punk!
How is it possible I haven't heard of her yet?!
i need a drummer like her
everyone does. that's miriam linna. first drummer for the cramps
2nd
She's still here in Brooklyn ...give her a call .
@@BicycleJoeTomasello you are incorrect. I was the founding drummer Nov 1, 1976 first date.
What a beautiful guitar !!! 💕
Just now hearing about it, which sad, considering how long I've been around. I wish I had known more sooner! Amazing.
amazing
Great video that preserves a legendary guitar mama.
Blood all over the floor tom, gotta love the drummer
She was born too early! Look out lita Ford. 😅
Put some fuz to that and people would shit! 😮
Sounds as a 15 y.o. guys band on their first rehearsal.
I would come out to hear play.
What a f*ckin ACE!!
Move over poison ivy
Uprated, favorited, shared. I am such a huge Miriam fan and with this, I get Cordell, too? (Nothing wrong with you, Mr. Bass player!) I love the second song especially. It don't hardly make no sense, if you know what I mean and I think you do. Greetings from France via the USA.
That's Marcus the Carcass, from the ABones
She's "one in a million!"
Guitar sounds out of tune
In almost all the clips I’ve heard it sounds out of tune!
I wonder if it’s because she had quite a forceful attack and with light strings that can easily make it sound out of tune
I see i totally missed out 😞
Loder got some sugar
She was Before …Bad to the Bones
Aaamazing!
Fun Key's 😉
I can just imagine Brian Setzer playing right along with her.
They are both in a Bud beer commercial from awhile ago
I can't love this enough!!
Wow!
how shall we say......jamming
