@@mikeriley3842 He was born in the Hill Country, but moved to the Delta once he became an adult. He wanted to become as good at the blues as Charley Patton. He was as Delta Blues as they came.

Still a complete honor that I got to meet this guitar last year. It was so worn in (even after a refinish), the neck had been broken in multiple places and the frets were almost scalloped! If only that guitar could talk....
When it was all about the music and musicians worked at an individual sound. That's why people have such trouble replicating it today. Even the guitars had their own unique sound and look! Bukka was a giant physically and artistically!
Never again. They were a product of their time. Playing aside, even voices, and accents such as this are lost now.. guys like this grew up learning to talk around people who were probably slaves on plantations and talked totally different to we do today.. small, isolated communities with now TV to influence our voice development. That unique gravel tone. Like even how he pronounced his name Booker "Bukka". Treasure stuff like this. It's audio gold. Even when this was recorded it was sounds of the past. This was in '67 but in reality it's more like '27 or '37. We are so lucky to have these later recordings of the old bluesmen with even semi decent quality before they were all gone. Just think how much is lost, legends who were never recorded. Some would disagree but this kind of resonator stuff to me is pure definitive delta sound. Even more so than the likes of RJ.
If you want proper hard drivin' slide blues look no further. This is your first stop. True, genuine hard stuff from the MASTER, you can imitate but can't copy..

Booker T. Washington White, conocido en el blues como Bukka White (Aberdeen, Misisipi, 12 de noviembre de 1906-Memphis, Tennessee, 26 de febrero de 1977) fue un guitarrista, famoso por su estilo slide guitar,[1] compositor, pianista y cantante de blues. Su grabación de «Fixin' to die» (1940) fue incorporada al Grammy Hall of Fame en 2012.
Friend of mine who once managed the blues caravan that toured thru the south in the 60s said they were 1st cousins he believes. He does know for a fact that Mr. White gave Mr. BB King his first guitar, a red Stella
Is that the same guitar Son House plays in footage from around the same era? Headstock and the scroll cut-outs look similar. E2A: I think it's the same session as the Son House one because the microphone is the same too
@@yeezet4592 then it's wrong! His name is Booker, when someone wrote his name down (many years ago) they couldn't understand him and they wrote "Bukker" and it stuck.... so respect him and please use his real name of Booker.
I'm not saying I know, but I used to sorta try and copy him years ago and Open D always worked for this for me, but that said I don't know if that's what he was using. However I think I read somewhere that he mostly used Open D and Open G. So I'd guess open D.
@@MicSlapsStrings No worries, friend! As I say, I'm not 100% certain, but from what I can recall, back in the day 10-15 years ago, I used Open D for this. Same tuning as I used for Rory Gallagher's cover of the Tony Joe White song "As The Crow Flies". Give Open D a try anyways, and see how it works for you.
@@yeezet4592 His idol was Charlie so it isn't too far fetched to see the influence, but the idea that he was trying to sound like Blind Willie is ludicrous. He sounds just like Bukka to me which is pretty spectacular in itself. And of course nobody plays guitar like Bukka
Its fine that growl / throat singing is a blues technique of course there is similarity. What I want to know is why the technique originated. Ive heard its purpose was to make the voice carry further in the street
Lol aberdeen? Why has the U.S copied all its area names from the UK and mexico? ALl city names in britain and spanish saints from mexicos names ..christopher columbus had no time to make up names no? LoL..thats how you know ENGland is the original ENGlish

Aberdeen Baby!
Always flawless playing, never once on his live videos do you ever see him slip up or get sloppy. He's a freaking machine
I'm from Aberdeen, Scotland and I can't get enough of this.
Now tell me why I want to listen Bon Scott-era AC/DC after this?
hell yeah

Hill Country Blues, it ain’t the same.
@@mikeriley3842
He was born in the Hill Country, but moved to the Delta once he became an adult. He wanted to become as good at the blues as Charley Patton. He was as Delta Blues as they came.
@@YogsenForfothI guess you could say he had both influences to create that style.
@@DockingFreidmanRecords
Exactly. I think that’s a big reason why he had such a unique and distinctive sound.
@yogsenforfoth5948 yeah cause even he just idk he has the best of both worlds. He is an anomaly when you think about it. Sort of the same way Robert johnson was as he could play so many styles.
No need for a whole band, with a billion dollars invested in production, stage, etc.
Just one person, with a guitar, and a whole lotta soul.

This may be the catchiest blues song in history
When it was all about the music and musicians worked at an individual sound. That's why people have such trouble replicating it today. Even the guitars had their own unique sound and look! Bukka was a giant physically and artistically!
His gravelly vibrato is one of the spookiest things in Blues music
Between his gravelly voice and Skip James's haunting melodies we have history in the making.
Close to Charley Patton!
Gravelly is a good description
Great guitarist, great voice and a great song. I´m really a fan of Bukka White.
Man, this guy is a one man band! Just him and his guitar is all you need to be entertained! He made it look easy! Straight LEGEND
Never seen this version before, brilliant. Nobody's ever going to play or sound like this again
MyFlippinValentine I been trying for the last year and can agree this man had such a unique way of playing
@@EquiNoxM Bukka and Son house had really weird timing thats what makes this sound unique and hard to copy to some extent

Great live song Bukka!
He was BB King's cousin, learned that on a blues documentary lol
Absolute pioneer
Siempre me va a gustar el viejo blues solamente un hombre su guitarra y su corazón
An absolute wizard!!

Blessed be to God. 🌹
If I had to choose one song to listen to before I went totally deaf it would very likely be this.

Bukka is phenominal!
Booker T Washington White, he hated being called 'Bukka', was an older cousin of B.B. King.
Soul on soul on blue........
This is great!
Awesome! BB's cousin.
Bukka learned a lot from Charlie Patton

This that shit big up too aberdeen Monroe co.

impressionante!!!
Is it odd I only like the old dirty blues. Not a fan of major "blues" artists today, with big bands and clean sound.
I dont think it's odd. Im the same way. The grittier, the better. It's one of the reasons why I love old blues 78s.
Just great !!!
Mind blown…
Once read that as young man, he did chaingang prison time in the 1930's. Now THAT was surely tough on his life.
I think i read he shot someone in the thigh

Hello everyone, if you want to learn how Bukka played this song, here´s the video: th-cam.com/video/v9Yi-pZRLJ0/w-d-xo.html
