Otis Taylor: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 кві 2011
- Banjo-playing bluesman Otis Taylor plays trance-inducing music that's often built around a single chord - an approach that allows his songs to go on for as long as 10 or even 15 minutes. Watch Taylor perform his songs.
Set List:
"Ten Million Slaves"
"Ran So Hard"
"Talking About It Blues"
"Think I Won't"

Saw him perform once in the UK supporting Gary Moore. Had never heard of Otis. But then he played, and was incredible and unforgettable. I felt ashamed of my ignorance and grateful that i had the opportunity to correct it. He is tremendous and I hope to see him again in England one day
Never heard of him till 2 years ago and Gary Moore!!! Anybody won’t to clue me in on some more high octane acts-past or presence(rip Gary Moore)
The banjo is quite soulful.
Otis is a national treasure
I am sitting here with my jaw on the floor at this skill and "feelin'". Instant fan!
Otis Thank you.
You look and sound like my friend who got me sober. So i come here to get sober.
I hope your recovery journey is going well, friend. Just remember that the past isn't always straight. Just don't give up and keep trying, even if you stumble.

Loving your music so much and God bless you all regards from Slovakia, Europe.
There is so much history, and hard work, and knowledge, and pain, and soul, and life experience all in his eyes. Its amazing. You just look at him, and your in a trance.. lol.
This deserves more views!!
I don't mind watching and listening more than once!
I'm an old fogey, but have been around. This is a great sound.

Otis Taylor is the most important musican in my world. I cannot get enough of him, and have all his music, I've listened to him exclusively for going on 3 years now, with a few exceptions, honestly. If you listen once, you're hooked. He is dynomite in person, too. He says he is Trance Blues, well, I'm in it!
GEE, THAT ABOUT FUCKN' QUALIFIES YOU TO GO OUT', MARCH & ACTUALLY GET A JOB, IN THE NAME OF THE NEWEST GENOCIDE/OCCUPATION..... ZOMBIE DEVOTEE
Just found out about this guy, love this song. Love the fiddle, all of it. Music really does sooth the soul, makes you happy, makes you dance, brings back memories, whether good or sad. Thank you Otis Taylor and Tiny Desk Concert. New fan.
A on the road playlist is never complete without at least one song from him . So now you are good to go ✌️
A very genuine earthiness about his music, indicative of the man himself.
My favorite line up of this band
I could listen to Otis talk for days. And love how the fiddle player uses her entire body when she plays.
Saw him at a festival in Raleigh NC 7 or 8 years ago and he is amazing... Talent travels... and as nice a man as you could meet....
I LOVE Otis Taylor!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a bass player make playing the same G note for 10 minutes straight looks so entertaining. Good for him! :)
Just raw talent,! 👍👍👍🇬🇧
.. to remember the good music ...blues
i am blown away, just now discovering this guy!
Glad Otis mentioned the Denver Folklore Center! that place changed my life too! so many great folks have been through there. Really cool that now Denver folklore Center has Otis's signature OME banjo unless they sold it
Wow where have you been all my life. Know exactly what “trance music “ is. I am in love.
Awesome and nothing less
he probably is, i bet ya

Thanks to films, I found Otis Taylor, a revelation of riches. Thanks for uploading this, it is simply uplifting.
I love listening to these guys
I always loved hearing Otis Taylor playing banjo, I have the Recapturing the Banjo CD.
Its a great album, Rock on Otis Bro Happy Picking.
Say what you will about the bass player, but his line is consistently spot-on... as opposed to others, not naming any names.
One of the best bass players around, his resume says it all
this is a meaningful song, so passionate of words
Bellissimo.
I spontaneously started stomping around the house at 7:22 song. Liberating trance!
Love Otis and the regular guys.....

Almost Zydeco!!! I can hear the Creole and Cajun notes in it . Just found Otis and love it!!💖
Okay, Enigmatic, you can take it down a notch. Music is a big tent. Plenty of room for you to enjoy fine musicians like Otis without reflexively feeling you have to diss someone else's tastes at the same time.
E' veramente qualcosa di incredibilmente unico!
The fiddle adds alota of depth too.
a finely tuned blues machine
What a greate music. Wow.

This concert also shows the importance of having live audio engineering on stage.
The electric guitar when in solo needs to go up at least two bars.

Daha iyisi olamaz herhalde ..
when I play the same chord for 10-15 minutes people don't call it trance-inducing
Some experienced musicians might look down on songs with jut one chord, but it's not as easy as it sounds.. It's ALL about groove.
Rodney Dangerfield's son plays bass?
Seriously though... doesn't the bass player look like Rodney??!
He gets no respect, no respect
Nahhh, that's Benjy from the Howard Stern Show
Todd Edmunds , great player
Isn't that Ali G's quiet friend on bass? Either way, these guys are great!
bad fucking ass.....
