"If I can't come in, that bastard better not come out". I actually laughed out loud at that line. Awesome stuff from a pretty much unknown legend. Why was this man not a huge star? Even at the age he is here, his voice and guitar picking was magnificent.
Actually he was a huge star. One of the first and biggest stars of the early blues era. And had quite the resurgence during the folk revival in the 60's up until he died. His songs have never stopped being covered even up until modern day.
This guys a total fucking bad ass. The original. They don;t make them like that any more. A genuine old boy pro, the best of the best, top shelf stuff really for the keen listener.
I got to hear Sam live once along time ago. It was bodacious...I'd never heard of him at that point in time. He had the audience in the palm of his hands.
"If I can't come in / that bastard better not come out!" The double-entendre of that line is right on the fucking money, and Sam Chatmon's voice is strong and clear. LOVE the falsetto he hits when he sings "Whoooo's lovin' you tonight?"
You´ve got that, what the most musicans can´t learn, because it´s deep in yourself and not can described on visible notes. your blessed by a higher power. You make me go further on that way with a gooooood feeling. See you in heaven , jaming with all the other stars of Blues. Love you
I can assure you that Sam is black and ultimately cool. I had the "pleasure" of spending the early part of my life in the Miss. delta and met Sam several times. My friends and I played guitar and for a few bucks Sam would be happy to come over and play. You could jam with him if you wanted, he didnt care. He was very laid back and a really great guy.
I seen many back guys, kick out a great country song from time to time, an' I've always said "country" is more a state of mind, not a geographical location and culture. Same with blues. It's a state of mind and a "feelin'., irrespective of color.
Man, what a privilege, I would've loved to hear his stories about Charley Patton, Blind Lemon, and all of those guys he met. Now there's nobody left, how sad is that
Sam Chatmon is awesome, I love the soul and emotion you can sense in his music. You can tell this old boy has been around the block a few times and has enjoyed a wonderful life with many stories/songs to share.
Had the pleasure of seeing him at the 'first' Delta Blues Festival in Freedom village, outside of Greenville, MS. Got to hang out backstage with Sam and John Lee Hooker.
I have that guitar. My great aunt gave it to me because she used to give me guitar lessons. It is an old Fender student guitar. Really cool to see this guy play it.
There is zero evidence Patton was in anyway related to the Chatmon family. Even if he was (And it's very doubtful), there'd be no actual way that Sam would know this.
i am re-discovering ol sam chatmon sice watching some vestapol vids. this guy is the real deal. Does anybody else notice those thumbs?! holy shit man. brilliant
Sam Chatmon was a black man. Back in the '20s and '30s he sat in sometimes with his brothers Lonnie and Bo, along with fiddler Walter Vincson, in the legendary black string band the Mississippi Sheiks. Check 'em out
yeah, I love Bromberg too. Saw him and his band in Brussels somewhere in the 70's, best thing I'd ever seen. Halfway the set Rory Gallagher stepped on stage, he and David did a wonderful acoustic set.
Well, actually, he's tuned about a minor third down. His low "e" string is tuned just about 8 Hertz sharp of C#. The rest of the strings are tuned to the same intervals as standard tuning. The difference, though, being that they are a minor third down and eight hertz up. Haha.
Undoubtedly, the blues is intrinsically connected to the history of my people. Indeed it was born from their suffering, but it's obvious that to be a real blues man you need to be more than just black.
This is fucking outstanding, when was it taped who is this guy, I'm just starting out in blues, learning about the real blues, I've always liked the Chicago stuff, John Lee Hooker and B.B. King, you know that type of stuff but I want to get to the heart of the matter, plus I play acoustic and I have been playing for about 2 years, so I am looking to get to what I am passionate about, any info or suggestions would be great thanks for your time

"If I can't come in, that bastard better not come out" LOL!
My favourite line 😁

Mississippi sheiks are severely underrated.
best blues man i've ever heard.
I’ll second that without question
I'm too old to wish for what I wanna be when I grow up, but now I sure know what I wish to be when I grow old! :-D
What a great line for a blues song!
This man has lived through it. Beautiful. And what a voice for his age.
I got to hear Sam live once along time ago. It was bodacious...I'd never heard of him at that point in time. He had the audience in the palm of his hands.
Love this old blues picker, i sure wish i could been a kid in this era of the blues
This guy was great...Love the laid back tempo and he's spot on.
First time I have ever listened to this man's tunes , Damm his a bad ass unique style playing man
sit on my Sofa,beer in the Hand and hear this.hamburg,germany.
It's so awesome,right ! Hello ,from the finger lakes region new york state,USA,inc
hau rein prost!
Now that's the blues! this guy is an American treasure
Sam and his brothers were real pioneers. And great song writers.
how can you not just love this mans tunes ........really.
Don't give a toss what colour he is. Sounds good.
"Color" is an American pre-occupation. Sam's ethnicity was African-American.as his blues make clear.
I'm not American. And like I said it sounds good.
Jim Scott lol....."toss"........definitely not American...
Pelu Maad That and the fact he spells Colour the correct way.
***** .....LOL...not in Mississippi....
His music is food for the soul.

Аж душа поет, реальный прожженный блюз!! респект просто огромный
Working in the auto shop listening to this in the background it's so fucken perfect it doesn't even require any sort. Just feel it baby perfection

Why would you say that he is black?
He was mixed race, mostly white but he also had black and native american ancestry.
Man, what a privilege, I would've loved to hear his stories about Charley Patton, Blind Lemon, and all of those guys he met. Now there's nobody left, how sad is that
@@HillbillyBoogie1 WRONG HIS FATHER was slave an Sam says this on tape on a interview
love the old songs brilliant thanks for posting it
"If ah cain't come in, dat bastard betta not come out...." Great shit.
Sam Chatmon is awesome, I love the soul and emotion you can sense in his music. You can tell this old boy has been around the block a few times and has enjoyed a wonderful life with many stories/songs to share.
That face has lived 2 lifetimes!
This blows me out!
Hey Joe, thank you for making this compilation vid. I'm just blown away to see this history.
Had the pleasure of seeing him at the 'first' Delta Blues Festival in Freedom village, outside of Greenville, MS. Got to hang out backstage with Sam and John Lee Hooker.
I have that guitar. My great aunt gave it to me because she used to give me guitar lessons. It is an old Fender student guitar. Really cool to see this guy play it.
So fine thank you for posting...
it's such a gift to have some footage of Sam I'm a huge fan of his and the Mississippi Sheiks!
This is very nice... sounds terrific
This one family produced the Mississippi Sheiks, Bo Carter, Charlie Patton, and Memphis Slim not too shabby
+Odin029 Not all of the Sheiks but your right, the entire family were weekend musicians and played just about everything with or without strings.
You know what you are talking about. This was the royal family of the blues. An amazing story.
There is zero evidence Patton was in anyway related to the Chatmon family. Even if he was (And it's very doubtful), there'd be no actual way that Sam would know this.
Good part of youtube. Solid voice this guy has.
I from Brazil, nice music and singer.
I love this.....
i am re-discovering ol sam chatmon sice watching some vestapol vids. this guy is the real deal. Does anybody else notice those thumbs?! holy shit man. brilliant
wow, never heard of this guy. some seriously great blues.
Captures my mood just right!
I've just listened to this as 'That's all right' on the Alan Lomax Archive channel.
The guys just so cool ...

I just love this type of music.
Classy. :) Seems the older he gets the better he plays and sings.
Blew me away...............
Thanks Joe. Greatings from Argentina...
I must have seen this a dozen times since yesterday... You can see where Bromberg got his version.
The older the more in a crazy way - love this really
That's why I grew up loving the blues!!!
cant beat a great tune like this!
Sam Chatmon was a black man. Back in the '20s and '30s he sat in sometimes with his brothers Lonnie and Bo, along with fiddler Walter Vincson, in the legendary black string band the Mississippi Sheiks. Check 'em out
Great voice...🎶♩
I Love this Ol Cat. He has it ALL together..

I wish my Grandad could play the blues like this
This is awesome
Well, actually, he's tuned about a minor third down. His low "e" string is tuned just about 8 Hertz sharp of C#. The rest of the strings are tuned to the same intervals as standard tuning. The difference, though, being that they are a minor third down and eight hertz up. Haha.
Just feeling the blues
I love him to bits
this is actually amazing.
Undoubtedly, the blues is intrinsically connected to the history of my people. Indeed it was born from their suffering, but it's obvious that to be a real blues man you need to be more than just black.
WOOOOO!!!!!
GRandioso!!!
haha love this old timer,keeping it how it should be
Love it! Thanks!
@jdcrouhy looks like an old Gibson Blues King (L-00). Gibson have released some new models. Beautiful instruments.
very good
Love that guitar.
Looks like an old Gibson to me....
Pelu Maad Looks and sounds more like a vintage Stella to me.
Definitely a Stella or Oscar Schmidt.
@@daddygreenjeanz9070 It's a Gibson L-50
amazing
Otroligt underbart bra!! More then great :)
It's been a year, so I don't know if you're still interested, but it's a blues in F. If you need to know more, just ask.
Primal . And real . What more do you need ?.
don't need to be young to play your blues. GREAT !
