This woman is so good, the neighbors called the cops, and they brought beer.... Edit: All the thumbs up are a direct reflection of this woman's talent...
This Woman plays with SOUL! But, let’s put distribution money behind Beyswiftspearsancardi🤨 “we know what the people want....now when I snap my fingers; you’ll all wake up with a thirst for Poop radio”!
I love when folks don’t necessarily ‘fit’ the traditional mould in one form or another and subvert the expectation of others. Even better when they hit you square in the face with their exceptional talent. Bravo ma’am ❤️
I know right!!!!!???? When I was in college we went to this bar that did karaoke. So the guy running the karaoke gets up and says, “ now Joe Blow ( can’t recall the name) is going to do Unchained Melody. Everyone at our table kinda groaned and thought whoever attempts this song is going to butcher it!!!!! This little kinda geeky older guy walks up and dedicates the song to his equally awkward date and then he proceeds to absolutely SLAY that song all the while singing to his gal!!!!!! He got a standing O from the whole bar. I’m pretty sure he got lucky that night too😉
Back in the 90s went to see Joanna at the Double Door in Charlotte. There was a snow and ice storm... 6 people showed up. Joanna played a full concert like it was 10,000 in attendance. Ever see six people standing on chairs yelling for an encore? ..Which she did. A terrific talent and if you get the chance, do go see her.
I saw Roy Buchanan in the 70s at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago 5,000 seat venue maybe 50 at the show. He called us all down to the front and played foe 3 hrs.
Saw her in Delrey FL in about '95. Full house and she blew the roof off. No lack of energy at her shows. If you get the chance to see and hear her, run , do not walk, run to the show.
Yes Sir! 🤦♀️ So that flew right on over your head, huh? Dude, she’s a goddess, no matter what she happens to weigh. You (and I) aren’t worthy to shine her shoes, let alone comment on her damn weight. What if she reads that unkind shit comment of yours? Gtfoh!
@@JimCarty With this video, I say She is definitely far far way better than any live electric guitar show performer. She Makes the guitar shriek and cry...sexy!
Now this is real blues - if people listened to more music than political shit the world would be a much better place - music soothes the soul baby yeah!
Great music can reach the none space and the none time. It's eternal. Bach or Pink Floyd will never die, a beautiful voice will always be a beautiful voice
Joan - I wonder if it has something to do with being the wrong demographics? In any event, it don’t matter TV is obsolete - social media is where it’s at. These guys got 6.5 million views so far.
If you saw this woman in a supermarket would you give her a second glance? You never know who has an incredible talent and you can't judge by appearance.
I just said the same thing. I eat that kind of stuff up. Even better when it comes from someone who displays an incredible amount of modesty and humility despite an insane amount of talent.

Only a few times in my life have I been moved like I was moved when I heard this piece. Joanna Connor and the band are Amazing!!!!!........I'm Speechless!!!
Love the drummer, into the vibe with passionate antics, a wonderful performer, even when not actually drumming, and and excellent drummer !!!! Thank you
@@waynewilliams3380 There's something that just seems _right_ about a drummer with a traditional grip. Not even sure why I like it so much. And oh yeah, he definitely he put his own rhythm & soul into this classic! And Joanna 😳... hard to find the correct words to describe her skills.
Jaime Alonzo Yeah man. It's not the regular everyday American people who makes up these Spanish names for the bad $#!T that their Researchers and Scientist have either "Discovered or Concocted", to further "Rob and Control" the Spanish Speaking "Americans", (as both the North and South Continents are the Americas.) It's the Social Elite who actually OWN "The United States of America Inc."... and so it's their lies, meddling, and their "Military, Industrial Complex", (also owned and operated by them), that dictates what is White, and thereby Right...and what is "Non-White"...Ha Ha Ha!!! 💯% NON-SENSE

Quarantine: restrict movement of sick people Tyranny: restrict movement of healthy people CV19 is just a common cold and flu virus with no influenza-like pandemic potential. They inject it as a retro virus in the annual flu shots. Retro virus means it sleeps in your body for a while so that when you catch it, you don't connect it to the flu shots and then they tell you it's "corona virus" which is just the FLU. You can look at old spray bottles of Lysol from 10 years ago and on the back it says in small print: "kills corona virus".........ITS THE FLU. They are using this "scamdemic" propaganda to put everyone in fear so they can control them and then eventually, they are gonna force everyone to take a "COVID" vaccine which will cull the population. They won't allow you to buy, sell or work without this genocidal vaccine. People need to WAKE UP and stop supporting this propaganda. Stop wearing these communist muzzle showing submission to these lying tyrant billionaires that bribe and control the government like puppets. They are all putting on an ACT.

So great when you discover a “new” gem of an artist like Joanna. I’m listening to this performance in NW London with Covid in Spring of 2022. I may have lost my sense of taste when it comes to food … but not when it comes to musicianship of this rare quality and true originality ! Mind blowing! How come I’ve never heard of her ? She is better than 99% of “renowned” guitarists . Up there with Hendrix perhaps ?!?!? Wow 🤩
Gotta hit the streets of Chicago, so I've heard. She brings the pavement up on into the Heavens. Her slide is bar-none anything but... the best I've ever heard.(heurd!) Much love ALL! Is it Memorex? Crack, shatter...dayum another window??
I'm in Australia, was talking with a friend in Boston about bonnie raitt...she sent me this. I'm in awe! I've never heard someone sound so much like her. I'm stunned. this Joanna lady should be in a recording studio, or a hall of fame somewhere. insanely talented, and she's got a new Australian fan base right here now.
I'm so glad Joanna is reaching new ears through UA-cam. She was always one of my favorites when she did gigs here in South Florida in the late 1980s-90s. She tore it up every time.
Love it when I see a woman with so much talent. Love her voice and her guitar playing is out of this world. I never expected this. I am dumbfounded ! All I can say is WOW !
Oh my goodness! This was posted up in 2014 and I've only just found it 2019. If they do gigs I want to go. What talent; far better than what we hear on the radio.
I don't know if she is still out doing gigs or not but she use to play quite a bit around the midwest. I saw her a few times including one opening for Buddy Guy, in Des Moines Iowa.
This is simply incredibly talented guitar playing. My jaw dropped to the floor when she just kept getting more and more active wringing every thing that guitar could give. Thank you made my day.
This is the talent our children need to be exposed to! Real music that you feel in your soul. The type of talent that gives you chills when you listen to it. I would be proud to have them play in my backyard. Neighbors be damned.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! Joanna Connor, you are incredible!!!! Thank you for sharing your gift with us and for allowing this video to go public!!! God Bless You!!!
Jim you're the best thing to happen for this amazing blues singer player Joanna Connor. God Bless you. Joanna Connor been around for over 25 years, she has 12 albums, but it's this video that is getting her recognized to the masses.. finally. Joanna you are truly great at what you do, and I am going shopping for you music, thank you for staying at it all these years. Thank you
Love this...I like blues espcially being played in the backyards...such talent and what a sound...love it thank you. Keep on playing wherever you may be. Great and fabulous.
this is absolutely fantastic she's soo good i got tears in my eyes never heard anything like this i hope more people will hear this 1 millions thumbs upp
You ma’am, are a singular kicking blues machine! 😢😅😊😂🎉 thanks for allowing me to hear and see you play! Absolutely magical and powerful! You got it, just groove it! Never stop doing what you do!
I went to Kingston Mines in Chicago and saw this woman for the first time. I had no expectations but the show she put on was truly the best I have ever been to and I have been to many arena filled concerts. To be in the first couple of rows of a small venue and listen to this woman rip was an EXPERIENCE. Honestly the video does not do it justice. I go see her every time I am in Chicago and occasionally I go two nights in a row.
I was 15yrs old in '91 and saw her perform at the SF Blues Fest. She's one of the reasons I went back the next year and almost every year after for the next 10yrs. To this day I'm still going to blues shows and always hoping to find an artist that'll blow me away today the way she blew away that crowd. Pretty sure she performed Walkin' Blues back then. Stunning talent. Thanks for posting this video.
Holy Shit! Why haven't I ever heard this lady play. She plays the hell out of her guitar and sing so great! I love the frickin blues,never heard of her. But I'll remember her from now own!
I’ve seen many of her videos. They never show up on my recommend videos I just have to search. My guess is she doesn’t fit the mold of what most musicians look like on UA-cam. I know it’s rude to say it but I get recommended for tons of young musicians all the time. I basically watch these type videos all the time but she is never recommended. It may be just me but that’s my opinion and experience. She’s absolutely awesome on guitar
Early 2000's I was in Chicago at Buddy Guys Legends hopping to see him, however., This lady came on and blew my mind. I have followed her progression ever since.
Seems to me, that she make the drummer sound good... Without her, he would still be in his garage, and I'm not trying disrespect him. She is at another level!
@Master Yoda ...because the big money boys say there’s no money in the blues. Today’s music isn’t really about music. It’s about corporate profits. You’ve got to go to the regional blues and roots festivals to hear this kind of music now.
Can you imagine walking your dog or something in some neighborhood & THIS is coming out from behind someones fence? Oh. My. Word. That would stop you in your tracks & have you begging for an invite, indeed. Joy!
Neighbors who didn't want to chip in for the band would set chairs on their lawn and bbq. I asked for nominal 15 to 20 bucks with bbq and beverages. I comped neighbors but still some just didn't extend themselves to come. The cops popped in had some chicken and smoked turkey legs.
Dude, I can't believe you got the Joanna Connor Band to play at your barbecue. That's like Van Halen playing your birthday party. I stumbled across her in Memphis like 25 years ago and she completely blew my mind. Never forgot it. It changed me. And they still play to get money to travel. She's legit, man. Best blues guitarist alive IMO. Best I've seen anyway. Thanks for the video
gbates106 - true words, I just found her on the tube of U. I play in a band and it's inspired me no end. Like a whole new perspective on playing the guitar. She certainly has an honest and raw stage presence, you only get that by staying true to yourself and loving your music!
joanna connor is a one trick pony..and most guitar player of a high level find here extremly bad... she is good at creating the illusion of havibg lick...she got one.lol... especially when she is soling electric wich is about as bad as it can get.
Joanna Connor is world class. Sadly underrated though...and ignored by most of the big festivals worldwide when some really lame acts get booked over and over again. This world is really unfair.
number of people fall in this category - i think her, Steve Poltz, Todd snider , Kjngs x , Rory Macloud , amidst many others ...are proof that not every act gets what they deserve.
That’s what I always told my daughter. “Life is not fair”. Finally one day when she was about 16 I started to do it again & she held up her hand & said “I know mom, I know. Life isn’t fair”! But we found out just how unfair it can be about that time. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor & died 2 weeks before her 18th birthday. Life sucks for some people!
This woman is so good, the neighbors called the cops, and they brought beer....
Edit: All the thumbs up are a direct reflection of this woman's talent...
Call the cop to bring more beer its gonna be a good long night! 😃
Someone bring a contract...I’ll bring more beers from the UK
This Woman plays with SOUL! But, let’s put distribution money behind Beyswiftspearsancardi🤨 “we know what the people want....now when I snap my fingers; you’ll all wake up with a thirst for Poop radio”!
So good they arrested the caller!!!
I would too.
Oh my goodness. I was blown away. Joanna is the real deal.
I love when folks don’t necessarily ‘fit’ the traditional mould in one form or another and subvert the expectation of others. Even better when they hit you square in the face with their exceptional talent. Bravo ma’am ❤️
Absolutely! She knows her vibration for sure!!
Double Bravo!!!
@Radiohiljaisuus you are correct. Joanna has been around for a long time. I did not know of her until recently. My loss.
One word describes this…fantastic!
I know right!!!!!???? When I was in college we went to this bar that did karaoke. So the guy running the karaoke gets up and says, “ now Joe Blow ( can’t recall the name) is going to do Unchained Melody.

That's what I like, A lady who takes the lead! Such awesome and amazing talent!
There's not enough words to describe her playing. She knows her instrument and can work it. Awesome.
I have one word. WOW!
thats what she said
I know one: Goosebumbs 😉
I am stunned.
Heartfelt!
Back in the 90s went to see Joanna at the Double Door in Charlotte. There was a snow and ice storm... 6 people showed up. Joanna played a full concert like it was 10,000 in attendance.
Ever see six people standing on chairs yelling for an encore? ..Which she did. A terrific talent and if you get the chance, do go see her.
Wish I could've been the 7th.

I want this in my yard every friday night.
Absolute legend.

You need to get out more...

I heartily agree! They're amazing! How I love real musicians!
I am fortunate that Joanna is a good friend. She plays my place once or twice a year. She's a star!

The blues are inherently political my friend, but I agree, it is REAL blues
Vonnie Faulks these are the wisest words written in a year , thank you!
Hell yea!!
stay free baby dont give the Feds any of your freedoms and independence. Politicians all bout the power!
Don't care if this was posted years ago. It is still relevant to me and always will be because blues renditions like this is eternal. Bravo!🇨🇦
Which also means that music is a kind of eternity in a way. :)
(sorry : english not my firstlanguage)
You mean a Classic! Stuff that remains in the History of Music for Excellence.
So true
Great music can reach the none space and the none time. It's eternal. Bach or Pink Floyd will never die, a beautiful voice will always be a beautiful voice
Good music never becomes irrelevant.
America's got talent but almost none of it is on TV
Brilliant
Same in the UK unfortunately.Too many stupid fucking so called talent and reality shows with D list "celebs".
Truth
Agree
Joan - I wonder if it has something to do with being the wrong demographics? In any event, it don’t matter TV is obsolete - social media is where it’s at. These guys got 6.5 million views so far.

I go to the grocery store every week and after 30 years of tryin I still can’t play for shit!!!
There is a very good chance her cart would be full of processed food. Nobody who eats whole food is chubby.
never judge a book... ✌️

Would pay to hear them she can play
Actually, they are Pros. Johanna Connor has been performing for years.
Glad I took 6 minutes of my life to listen, absolutely awesome!

👍👍She is amazing. I agree with ya'll. I'd travel anywhere to see her and hand play. Any time and anyday of the week. ❤❤❤❤❤+
Это наша любовь, навеки!!!!
F*ck all mainstream
That is some WICKED guitar playin! Glad I wandered in on it.
Me too...
Every day is full of surprices :)
Holy cow, she's in fire, wild as the earth, all the band are amazing, so blessed to have found this band! 🎸🔥❤️
This is the talent our children need to be exposed to! Real music that you feel in your soul. The type of talent that gives you chills when you listen to it. I would be proud to have them play in my backyard. Neighbors be damned.

My 81 yr old dad sent me this in September. Just now getting around to listening to it. This is one of my new top 10 Blues videos. Awesome...
Your dad sounds cool 😎
Jim you're the best thing to happen for this amazing blues singer player Joanna Connor. God Bless you. Joanna Connor been around for over 25 years, she has 12 albums, but it's this video that is getting her recognized to the masses.. finally. Joanna you are truly great at what you do, and I am going shopping for you music, thank you for staying at it all these years. Thank you

Awesome singer and guitar player with an awesome band. It's good to know there are people with beautiful gifts to share with us.
I got one word - Incredible!!! She knocks it out of the park!!! Very well done 👏!! 👏!!!
Sometimes the algorithm messes up and gives a great selection. The whole band is awesome.
I wept when I saw this. So much talent. Virtuoso guitar. Thank you from a remote part of Australia.
My gosh. Friggin amazing. Her band is IN THE POCKET. I'd go see this live tonight if they were in town.

You ma’am, are a singular kicking blues machine! 😢😅😊😂🎉 thanks for allowing me to hear and see you play! Absolutely magical and powerful! You got it, just groove it! Never stop doing what you do!
Wow! Love this; what a performance! Take a bow, indeed!!
I love youtube cause it's where I come to know fantastic talents like Ms. Connor - you make it snarl real good, M'am!
I went to Kingston Mines in Chicago and saw this woman for the first time. I had no expectations but the show she put on was truly the best I have ever been to and I have been to many arena filled concerts. To be in the first couple of rows of a small venue and listen to this woman rip was an EXPERIENCE. Honestly the video does not do it justice. I go see her every time I am in Chicago and occasionally I go two nights in a row.
This is crazy talent. Why isn’t this incredible woman a household name?? I’m in London and I’ve only just discovered her. Where have I been!!
MORE!!! MORE!!!! MORE!!!! WE all want MORE!!! Joanna is out of sight!!!
My god!! Just stumbled across Joanna and her band totally awe struck😍
Amazing! Great vocals and guitar skills! You guys are great!
I was 15yrs old in '91 and saw her perform at the SF Blues Fest. She's one of the reasons I went back the next year and almost every year after for the next 10yrs. To this day I'm still going to blues shows and always hoping to find an artist that'll blow me away today the way she blew away that crowd. Pretty sure she performed Walkin' Blues back then. Stunning talent. Thanks for posting this video.
This is the way America should be having a few beers sitting in someone's driveway taking in some bad ass music and loving it
Just saying
✌👉 😎
I grew up with Dad's backyard band every Friday night after payday... god memories.
I did
Amen ...to that!
It should apply to everyone in the world too.
Amen!!!!!!
WOW, I love this. The blues just speak to me. She's great!
Holy Shit! Why haven't I ever heard this lady play. She plays the hell out of her guitar and sing so great! I love the frickin blues,never heard of her. But I'll remember her from now own!
This is literally the first time I've ever heard of them!

I’ve seen many of her videos. They never show up on my recommend videos I just have to search.
My guess is she doesn’t fit the mold of what most musicians look like on UA-cam. I know it’s rude to say it but I get recommended for tons of young musicians all the time. I basically watch these type videos all the time but she is never recommended.
It may be just me but that’s my opinion and experience.
She’s absolutely awesome on guitar
Welcome to Chicago...where the delta met the inner city.
Early 2000's I was in Chicago at Buddy Guys Legends hopping to see him, however., This lady came on and blew my mind. I have followed her progression ever since.
What a great talent this lady has! Vocals and slide are both fabulous!! Great band!
"Ok, were going to make some noise now," and she proceeds to blow the roof off the neighborhood
The cops came and had some bbq and stayed 15 minutes until they really had to go...they loved it!
@@JimCarty Cool
Yes dear you're right
Much respect to the drummer, without him, those lovely chops the lady is laying down wouldn’t be the same!
Yes indeedy!!!
Seems to me, that she make the drummer sound good... Without her, he would still be in his garage, and I'm not trying disrespect him. She is at another level!
That is a fact.
Seeing how hes wearing an apron he probably works there at the bar b que joint. I betcha 100 bucks the man could make some mean ribs too.
Facts buddy. A band is only as good as its lead singer and its drummer.
Wow you could play with the best of them,!!!! I had such a smile I was crying...
That was brilliant, why don’t the useless radio stations give this talented lady some air time?
@Master Yoda ...because the big money boys say there’s no money in the blues. Today’s music isn’t really about music. It’s about corporate profits. You’ve got to go to the regional blues and roots festivals to hear this kind of music now.
Can you imagine walking your dog or something in some neighborhood & THIS is coming out from behind someones fence? Oh. My. Word. That would stop you in your tracks & have you begging for an invite, indeed. Joy!
" .... & have you begging for an invite" recognising this is real ...
L I F E - music
YEAH! Imagine that! I be hanging on that fence!!
Neighbors who didn't want to chip in for the band would set chairs on their lawn and bbq. I asked for nominal 15 to 20 bucks with bbq and beverages. I comped neighbors but still some just didn't extend themselves to come. The cops popped in had some chicken and smoked turkey legs.
YEP!! ID BE JUMPIN THAT FENCE!!
Hell yes great music
Unreal! 73 years old, Round Top Texas ⭐️Seriously fine music!
great stuff loved the drummer and how he kept interested when he was not involved
absolutely pure magic.. what a performance..and a great band...everybody was top notch...and that sound ..cherrs guys all the best from scotland.
.
Proves again the best music is not heard on the radio
Second that.
Corporate Radio Sucks
radio gaga
Glen Waggoner that's right!
Mark Salamack yes that’s a fact, I’ve been there many times, a cool place..
OMG that's wicked, i'm so loving this tune, and her guitar playing is off the charts
My goodness. Wow 🤩 I love 💗 this. I keep coming back for more. Wonderful.
Holy WOW! I don't know where the hell I've been all these years.......... but I've got a new Blues favorite!
Love this woman; so talented and skilled with that guitar. Amazing.
Dude, I can't believe you got the Joanna Connor Band to play at your barbecue. That's like Van Halen playing your birthday party. I stumbled across her in Memphis like 25 years ago and she completely blew my mind. Never forgot it. It changed me. And they still play to get money to travel. She's legit, man. Best blues guitarist alive IMO. Best I've seen anyway. Thanks for the video
gbates106 - true words, I just found her on the tube of U. I play in a band and it's inspired me no end. Like a whole new perspective on playing the guitar. She certainly has an honest and raw stage presence, you only get that by staying true to yourself and loving your music!
Super lady and bad ass dudes 👍😂🎶🎶🎶🎶👍👍💕💕
gbates106 25 years ago?!?! Oh what we've missed!!
stay just as you are...no Corp telling you how to play...keep wild and
AMERICAN! love y'all
joanna connor is a one trick pony..and most guitar player of a high level find here extremly bad... she is good at creating the illusion of havibg lick...she got one.lol... especially when she is soling electric wich is about as bad as it can get.
Brilliant .not what I was expecting ...it was 100 times better awsome😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
My first experience with this band...WOW ! So much talent around that I din't know about...
Joanna Connor is world class. Sadly underrated though...and ignored by most of the big festivals worldwide when some really lame acts get booked over and over again. This world is really unfair.
photogenic means most of us are fucked.
number of people fall in this category - i think her, Steve Poltz, Todd snider , Kjngs x , Rory Macloud , amidst many others ...are proof that not every act gets what they deserve.
fred pg yes...this world has become totally backward!!
That’s what I always told my daughter. “Life is not fair”. Finally one day when she was about 16 I started to do it again & she held up her hand & said “I know mom, I know. Life isn’t fair”! But we found out just how unfair it can be about that time. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor & died 2 weeks before her 18th birthday. Life sucks for some people!
@@SKC193 So sorry for your loss
"gonna make some noise now" .... and do they ever ... speechless !
You tube has a funny algorithm. But I love when I find true gems like this. Shame I had to wait ten years to see it. ❤. Thanks for sharing. ❤
