no youtube,no instagram..and even after 100 years these fellars get 215k views ! i can not imagine same about any today pop star after 100yrs..mark my words
this is beyond precious ! This is what we lost to paper money, sugar, oil & cars for everyone. This, and so many other precious things like Time...that are too painful to list here. nevertheless...this is a treasure !
This is incredible... if anyone of you has ever tried blowing a jug, she/he will know what I'm talking about... these musicians have an incredible precision and virtousity on their instruments, an incredible understanding of leading a bass line and combining bass and higher registers... ...respect!
@cameronjacobsUF you mean devolved? that guitar they're using is a sophisticated spanish instrument. Music of the 20th century takes comparitively little skill to produce compared to music of the 18th or 19th centuries
Do yourselves a favor: Hit "CTRL+ALT+J" and paste document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 0.9 into the console that pops up. You can tweak that 0.9 to taste. You can thank me later.
This is fantastic! It is so nice to see video footage of this type of thing. I have a lot of great recordings of Memphis Jug Band, King David's Jug Band, Mississippi Sheiks, and others of the era/genre; though I have never seen video. Thank you so much for posting! This is truly a masterpiece.
Is that really how they lived back then. Just carrying a folding bed and just travel around just jamming? What an awesome life if that's true. I bet people called them hobos too. Which I guess is technically true but that sounds like a wild ride to me. I bet those fuckers saw some shit back then.
so sad that they didnt catch on record such musicians as Blake , Fuller , Lemon and others. But this is of course an amazing clip , thank you very much!
Well, a lot of music from to-day is terrible in many ways in my opinion. I admire music from long ago, as well. The only music artists that I like is the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
I'd LOVE to meet a jug player or percussionist or even another guitarist who'd like to play this stuff but I've yet to meet anyone. (I play harmonica, banjolele & guitar) And if musicians are that hard to find, finding gigs would be a nightmare...
@snapper842002 Says you In reality , if the likes of Duke Ellington , Miles Davis , Charles Mingus , etc etc had existed in the 18th and 19th centuries , they'd be at the helm of the music world then too.
very nice tks for rescue document film, because is a music history american folk rural...I am from México, City and love blues rural. Please upload more as that. Congratulations!
Gus Cannon is not in this video, it's Whistler's Jug Band. They were one of the first jug bands to record, in 1924, although this film is from 1930. By the way, two members of the Rooftop Singers travelled to Memphis to find Cannon and make sure he was registered to receive royalties, so it's not accurate to say they "stole" his song.
I was reading about Mr. Whistler. They said that he often passed for white because of his European features, and he was welcomed into several different white society gatherings because they thought he was a white man in blackface.
That is Gus Cannon. Remember the song Rooftop singers did called "walk right in"? They stole it from cannon and his jug stompers. The films sound was possible because of the Vitaphone process back in the late 20's

@Zenny1410 wow, Im glad someone is including jug band music in a history of jazz class. all to often jazz history class' seem to teach as if jazz started in the 1940's. Im glad someone with the power to teach is hip to reality for a change.
Why doesnt music sound this good anymore? Even if theyre a jugband nobody plays like that guy on the banjo mandolin anymore, absolutely incredible
no youtube,no instagram..and even after 100 years these fellars get 215k views ! i can not imagine same about any today pop star after 100yrs..mark my words
Masterpiece ! Rest in peace buddies

They listen to each other.
What fun - love the top hats and jug spins!
I can't believe what im seeing i was just expecting a recording
Great jug band ! i cant believe
Wonderful stuff!
This is fantastic, where did you find it? Thanks for posting it.
The real things!
I wish there were subtitles
I'm not trying to offend anyone but do you think it's because they have bigger lips?
is this the origins of Old Crow Medicine Shows "Tear it Down"?
Best comment I ever read. I can't stop laughing.
A.J. Maciejewski wich one?
Slash of the Jug
Fabulous!
Love it!

the guitarist looks like a young bill Cosby and the banjo player looks like Danny glover (the president in the movie 2012)
Love the woman at the 1 min mark in the background going WTF is this shat?

Hi ! I would like to use this cut on a live show (little venue, about 30 personne). Do I have to paye ? How much and who ? Thank You
Should be called the Fart Song
「ブルース&ソウルレコード」に紹介されていて知りました。シルクハットの男が面白い仕草をします。
what's my mans saying in the intro??
I love UA-cam, I am making fun of Jug bands and low and behold here is a video for me to share.
00:34 to 00:40 look at the guy on the far right with the jug
I cant take this seriously.
But this justifies completely not wanting to learn theory.
Dante Ashby Eh... how so?
What do you mean by that?
Do yourselves a favor:
Hit "CTRL+ALT+J" and paste
document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 0.9
into the console that pops up.
You can tweak that 0.9 to taste.
You can thank me later.
Must be different in Firefox :\
Jugs are still widely used by black performers in rap music videos.
Türk varmı laaan
Where's the whistelers?amisthorn has no sense of humor.
The jug is todays most overlooked musical instrument
Even the lowly kazoo is popular by comparison...! ;)

Epic top hat spin at 0:35!!!!!!
Flip o the hat n a flip o the jug
Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Mr. Danny Glover on the tenor banjo!
incredible rhythm banjo! I could listen to a LOT of this stuff... ^..^
So could I. I also like Boogie-woogie and Blues.
the predecessor of funky chicken guitar on funk music.
Me too.
That would almost certainly be Willie Black on banjo.
Isn't it a banjo-mandolin though? Not saying that's one cent less cool.
so sad that they didnt catch on record such musicians as Blake , Fuller , Lemon and others. But this is of course an amazing clip , thank you very much!
lol. at 0:43 a woman walks in the shot in the background at stares at them like wat the fuck?!?
So bad ass! Wish there were more of these bands around today.
Well, a lot of music from to-day is terrible in many ways in my opinion. I admire music from long ago, as well. The only music artists that I like is the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
@@kevinceniceros1690 He's not a real Orchestra Swing man, he jumped on that when Private Ryan came out .
The Jug will live forever and ever!
There are still so many of bands like this we just don't know about them
I'd LOVE to meet a jug player or percussionist or even another guitarist who'd like to play this stuff but I've yet to meet anyone. (I play harmonica, banjolele & guitar)
And if musicians are that hard to find, finding gigs would be a nightmare...
The original spike Jones and Lonnie Donigan Skittle group!

Now this is some cool shit! The fcuking bosses! Very nice!
Is that Danny Glover on banjo and backup vocals!?!?? MMMA-HAN, talk about aging gracefully!
When I first heard this I thought there was a trombone in the mix. I love jug music.
wow...thats stunning! music! as its meant to be!
Great artists! I love the music, and scenery too...absolutely wonderful!
Gus Cannon and Will Shade were the lions of the Memphis jug band sound, but Whistler's is pure Louisville.
Priceless footage. Thanks.
I was reading about Mr. Whistler. They said that he often passed for white because of his European features, and he was welcomed into several different white society gatherings because they thought he was a white man in blackface.
The real deal, can’t get more honest than this.
In between levels in Super Mario Bros 2😁
Is that an Alan Lomax recording?
No.
is that fred mcdowell? looks very young
Most deep south thing ever captured on film
i always assumed you play a jug by blowing across the top kinda like playing a flute. but this isn't what i expected.

Great beat, you can dance to it - Dick Clark

Bed slats 'n all?
The fart solo is amazing.
A lost art
That film is a treasure
I like it!

Folding Bed
Went downtown to have a little fun
Bought myself a razor and shiny guns
Carried it home, laid it on the shelf
Got so doggone hard just to get it myself
Come on out of my foldin' bed, I believe I'm gonna tear it down
(Tore it down) Slats and all
(Tore it down) You make my baby squall
(Tore it down) Baby come on
Don't take no time at all
Come on out of that foldin' bed, I believe I'm gonna tear it down
I went home about four o'clock
Knocked on the door and found it locked
Round to the window and I took a peek
A sheik there fast asleep
That'll only be my foldin' bed, ah heh heh heh
(Tore it down) Slats and all
(Tore it down) You make my baby squall
(Tore it down) Get with her
I believe it won't take no time at all
Come on out of that foldin' bed, I believe I'm gonna tear it down
Fart music.
HAHA! the banjo made me smile, lol nd the way that man uses his hat to fan his feet like they're on fire! jus gettin into it!
kstarBAM are.you still alive?
its funny how in one shot the center jugger is in the middle, then it cuts to him in a completely different position
I have a question....why is there no video of Robert Johnson anywhere? He was definitely around during this time as well.
@Zenny1410
wow, Im glad someone is including jug band music in a history of jazz class. all to often jazz history class' seem to teach as if jazz started in the 1940's. Im glad someone with the power to teach is hip to reality for a change.
whow so frekin funny!!!! that jugs look so hillarious but sounds so great!! simply awesome
Glad someone had the foresight to preserve this. Such great music.
Anyone know where in Louisville this was filmed?
According to jug band music historian, Michael Jones, the band was from Louisville, but this footage is of them out in Shelby County, KY.
Unbelievable film, priceless capture of fabulous artists and their genre.
old crow medicine show did this song. atleast a version of it called "tear it down"
Amazing performance! And the way the sound is synchronized with the video, that was cutting edge technology at the time. Well done.
This sounds like I feel like I'm fixin to Die by Country Joe and the Fish
Divino e maravilhoso, são bons demais, imaginem hoje, com os instrumentos atuais o que fariam. bons demais. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS -Brasil.
