Them kids in the picture mean business; that's how a musician should feel. I like these type of music because they were folk music and not pretentious, but most music today are pretentious. Once pretention comes in, art goes out.
spb 78 if you don’t think these people played this music to impress, then you’re sadly mistaken. Also this isn’t folk music in any sense, it was music based off of formalized vaudeville/ragtime music recorded and played on the streets and at parties for profit.

Thanks for posting. I remember hearing my Uncle playing tunes on his guitar. I wish now that I would have asked more questions. From the BlueRidge Mountains of Virginia. Sting Band had a great influence on most/all music. To the narrator, you keep saying that "you don't know what this or that means". Maybe you should research the and times and struggles of the musician. Just ask somebody--You could learn a lot what some of the lyric means.
He said that because he can't say some of the things some of these songs allude to on the radio, especially need-more (cocaine) or "What's That Smell Like Gravy" (female genitalia)
WOW! Imagine being black musicians so good that you're being hired by the Ku Klux Klan for their picnics, events and outings. I just can't rap my head around it, but it was known to happen.
The Klan didn't hate black people, they wanted to be separate, same as many blacks to thus day. People can live in peace when they aren't forced to try and occupy the same space. Very few blacks want whites ruling over them and teaching their children just as many whites. It is completely natural and the way the world has ALWAYS worked. Mashing everybody together is a new concept that has FAILED entirely everywhere it has been FORCED upon people.
I used to have that Bobby Leecan record.Traded It away for money to get high.Lost a lotta really good records that way.BTW,the fiddle player in the photo has to be Howard"Louie Bluie" Armstrong who originally recorded as a member of the Tennessee Chocolate Drops in 1930.
The hardship black people went trough and how they created culture from nothing and it was stolen and made billions for other people is so sad...they was and are still Amazing
You are ignorant of what culture is... culture cannot come from nothing. Black or white, American folk music came from the combination of cultural elements brought from abroad (whether Africa or Europe), and colored by the nature of the Land and Country itself.
How do you not know what strutting your stuff means? Theres no way your from the United States and not know what that means! You dont know what you think you know about this music! You're just repeating he say she says things!
Its warm white stomp because they are playing hoe down barn dance white music. And making it their own. This music is played to this day still in appalacia coal mining towns and other rural mountain valley country

I’ve been a fan of Robert and the Cheap suites since the late 60s. Best artist and best string band EVER!!!
They are great, one of my faves is Singing in the Bathtub.
@@mungomidge1090 Yes, indeed. For me, it's I Had But Fifty Cents.
When i listen to this music I can almost feel the roots here for music like bluegrass and early country.

shep, does anyone remember him now ?
Thank you Robert Crumb and Mshrms.
This is one of the best compilations of early black blues
Brilliant genre of the Great American Songbook!!

amen
The photo depicts the famous Howard Armstrong on violin with his brothers. I think the band's name was the Tennessee Chocolate Drops.
That word, "pretentious". I don't think you know what it means.
@@bluesmusicandwhatnot2845 I agree with the poster, but wonder what you mean by your reply.

This is CRAZY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in Milford, DE. R. Crumb resided here for a short while. Just a fun fact.
The tunes are groovy, too.
I live in France and he lives here too...it's a big country but I find it reassuring.
They had no past worth remembering and no future worth looking forward to. That’s the blues, livin’ for now.
Best comment
They had the past that was beaten out of their ancestors. Don't do that...
quite the nasty comment that says far more about you than about anyone else.
yep, is it the same today?
As best as I know, the first record was by Pegleg Howell and Eddie Anthony. I have a collection from a German record company called Early black string bands. Great, lovely stuff!
some Beautyfull old sounds from are American past!!
Priceless recordings!

I'm digging the 3 string cello!

Thanks for the upload! I really enjoyed listening to the music and the history.
Really fascinating.

I have to wonder what the guys in King David's Jug Band would have thought of electric Hot Tuna. Great stuff, Rev. Thanks!

Can't imagine how bad Klan music might have been....I hope they got paid.

@chezceleste you people are weirdos for real!
need more dope.

the photo has to be Howard"Louie Bluie" Armstrong who originally recorded as a member of the Tennessee Chocolate Drops in 1930.
Terry Zwigoff made a film of 'Louie Bluie' before he made the 'Crumb' movie. I'm not certain where it is available for viewing, my copy was a VHS.
banjoReno slick tune..
"Needmore" ... seems to just mean craving, not satisfied, etc ... needmore being an inventive, or lesser used noun
i used to see crumb sitting at a table outside, sketching surreptitiously
Amazing stuff. Thank you for sharing it. I subbed
who knew!
I'm surprised Crumb doesn't know what "Lyin' in the coal yard struttin' my stuff" means.
it's true, it doesn't make sense. how can one lie down and strut across the yard at the same time?
It's analogy. Think about it.
Oh
Maybe
Vintage .
In my opinion, "need more" was a euphemism for cocaine, because you always "need mo"
Need more? Probably money.
When it comes to the blues, it’s either sex, money, alcohol, cocaine, or all four at once.
With the blues, excess is success!

30:00 Tiger Rag!!! Great recording
Whistler jug band film in library of congress
How's that white guilt feel like! It has to make you feel like nothing! Atleast these men had pride integrity and wasn't no crybaby victims!
first song sounds like Blind Willie Johnson's "Can't nobody hide from God" th-cam.com/video/i_NDueqUi4U/w-d-xo.html
