Eddie Taylor was a great slide guitarist. Which most people's have Zero knowledge of. Nor appreciation of his skills in that genre. I knew Eddie Taylor from, my childhood on up. He was patient, He was kind. I am eternally grateful, that we were close friends.
Thank you to the Japanese Blues Afficianados who produced this brilliant doco; Eddy Taylor is, in my very humble opinion, the finest 'old school' country-blues picker ever. He had a great start in musical life - he was largely raised by his mums best friend, Memphis Minnie; ... the greatest female blues guitarist of all time, & at least the equal of the best of the males as well. If you like Eddy Taylor, do yourself a favour & watch - the sadly too few - youtube clips of MM.
I absolutely love this post, it's inspiring for me getting to know and see this kind of work, just superb. Hope to know soon about this kind of documentaries. Merry christmas and a happy new year.
Can someone please identify the band playing at the fishmarket? The singer sounds like Taildragger but who are the others? Thanks so much for your help!
There has always been a percentage of the US population whose been illiterate, A majority of that percentage being African American. I can add James Cotton and Albert King to the list of bluesmen who couldn't read or write either. To date in this country there are young people who are, And I'm afraid that all of the people who left school because of the Pandemic? Those numbers will only increase.

The greatest electric blues guitarist of all time!

偶然テレビで見ていましたが、録画されてたとは嬉しい限りです。
Oh, my word... this is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for posting.
すごい貴重な映像！
エディテイラーカッケェ〜！！✨🤎
うわ−！すごい懐かしい！よく残ってましたねー。
これはリアルタイムで見ました。はっきり覚えてます。
あのエディ・テイラーが生活保護を受けてるのがすごくショックでした。
でも彼、読み書きはできないけどサインはできるんですよねー、僕の友人が持ってます。
ちょっとヘビーな内容ですけど、最後はアメリカ初の黒人市長誕生で終わるんですよね。
久しぶりにいいものを見せてもらって、本当にありがとうございます。
Catfish blues for real 8:00. Thank you for putting this out.
ほんとに懐かしい番組です フェントンの代わりに来日してエイシズの端っこでギターを弾いていたエディテイラーをメチャ懐かしく思い出します 放送日朝早く友達からエディテイラーがTVに出てると起こされて見ました 今年一番の収穫です ほんとにありがとうございます
素晴らしい！！感動しました！！
こんな貴重な映像をUPしてくださり本当にありがとうございます！！！
感謝感激です！！自分はまだ２１ですがChicagoBluesが好きで好きで仕方がありません(*´∀｀)ｗｗこんな時代のシカゴに生まれたかったです^^;ｗｗ
Loved the video in the «fish house». Thanks for posting!
Superb musician. A personal hero.
The best guitar player in the world.
すっげえ
Amazing footage of Eddie Taylor!
素晴らしいです！

listen to that slide vibrato! Absolutely perfect
Fantastico.No words!!
Mr. Eddie Taylor a blues legend 🎸🎶🎶🎶
懐かしい。TBS「シカゴ市長選ブルース」（だったかな）の一コマですね。一部の好事家向けだったブルースを朝の番組とはいえ一般向けに放送してくれたのは画期的でした。ですが、「楽譜読めるか？」の質問はあまりに失礼。「どうせ譜面なんて読めないんだろ」って思いがありあり。エディー・テイラーの音楽の素晴らしさとは何の関係もない。この部分以外は良い内容なだけに残念
Wonderful!
Great docmentry love this! :-)
Rare! Great! Thanks a lot.
Includes Tail Dragger at the end too, what's the name of this documentary?
What is the first song he’s playing during and after the interview called I’ve tried looking it up for days now
Great stuff!
❤❤❤
Fantastic slide player. This great doc really gets under the skin - no tourist stuff here! This is how it was.
Can someone please identify the band playing at the fishmarket? The singer sounds like Taildragger but who are the others? Thanks so much for your help!
Kakoi, Jozu! Domo Arregato, Thank You For Sharing Super Black Blues Rare Video, Please Don't Take down this is Great Blues History. Mark
ES-5って生でもこんなに響くんですね。驚きました。
4:00からはマクスウェルストリートですか？
ドラマーの頭のネットはなんなんだろ？
それにしても貴重な映像ですね！
写ってる場面が少ないから断定はできないけど、まず間違いなくマックスウエルストリートだと思う。今は都市開発のあおりで無くなってしまいましたが・・・
" .... unbelievable even in Japan they got the blues .... go for it Eddie boy .... "
IN A ONE ROOM CITY SHACK... EDDIE TAYLOR
lo verdadero!
アップ有難うございます！1983年にTVで放映されたのですか？局は、何処ですか？とても貴重な映像ですね、素晴らしい！！！
たしかTBSだったと思います。30分番組で番組タイトルは「シカゴ市長選ブルース」当時シカゴの市長がはじめて黒人になるかもしれないってことでシカゴの街は二分されました、この選挙の顛末を番組はよく伝えています。本物のブルースが民放で流れることは当時皆無だったので僕らの周りでは大いに盛り上がりました。たぶんフルのビデオをまだ持っていると思うので近くアップしたいです
超有名なブルースマンでも
生活保護ですか…
ほんとブルースですよね…
あれ？誠 廣瀬って、もしかしてベース弾きの廣瀬くんでしょうか？大山くんとかとバンドしてた。
私、林です。分かります？ギター弾いてた。
real blues, real men
I live in Chicago, I’d like to know the address of that small apt, just so I can place the hood in my mind
Scripture says, you will build a house but you won’t live in it. You will plant an orchard and you will not reap the fruits.
so the last thing those catfish heard before gettin hacked up was a smokin blues band---cool!
BTW that sounded more like Robert Nighthawk to me
Catfish blues...
ALFRED CAYMEN SHAME ON YOU .YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY FATHER.
I think some of these guys were giving the public the image it wanted. I refuse to believe he couldn't read or write.
Man I've known many guys in his generation that couldn't read or write. Take John Lee Hooker for one.
Then you're in denial that there is such a thing known as being illiterate? Look at the stats.
Then you don't know shit...!!
There has always been a percentage of the US population whose been illiterate, A majority of that percentage being African American. I can add James Cotton and Albert King to the list of bluesmen who couldn't read or write either. To date in this country there are young people who are, And I'm afraid that all of the people who left school because of the Pandemic? Those numbers will only increase.
My heart is bleeding! E. Taylor for ever!
