    MICHAEL BURKS, another great player that was vastly underrated, and never made the so called best guitarist lists, brilliant soulful singing and playing from a great man!!!!

    Tone is so elusive. You can't buy it. You can't steal it. Some players have it. Most players don't. Michael definitely had it.

    I feel so ashamed that I've only recently discovered his songs. And so gutted to know today that he has passed away. What a loss :'(

    Truly he will go down in history as one of the greatest guitarists that walked this earth.
    Seen him live in 2004, he was far better than many other big name groups.
    You will be missed Michael, and your music will forever live.

    A big loss. Had the honor of meeting Michael at a blues festival in PA a couple of years ago. Soft spoken, modest, with a big hears who loved his family dearly. So warm. And an amazing musician. Play on Michael!

    I can listen to him 24/7 so great rest in peace brother

    I fell in love with this song the first time I saw Kingfish perform it on Luke Cage. So much soul, emotion, and one of the best guitar riffs ever written, IMO. It's a complete shame that Iron Man Burks isn't a household name, and this song is proof that he should be. One of the best blues songs since the golden years of the 3 kings.

    Oh man, I am in such amazement here... Fan of the Blues for so long... Just now discovering this man and his passion, thanks to Spotify.... So sad to read he has passed and I never got to see him live... Like so many others commenting... such passion and emotion coming from him and his guitar.... whole band actually... good stuff man! RIP Michael Burks and thank you for the music I will continue to listen to... this song is EPIC <3

    So this was the channel and inspiration for Kingfish Ingram. Too much soul in one song RIP Michael Burks. You were a real one.

    Many covers of his song (including Kingfish who I love) but his is the best. A great bluesman.

    So much feeling though tone, touch, emotion, and dynamics. A roller coaster of passion!
