My introduction to Imelda May was when she was supporting Jools Holland at Eastnor Castle in 2008. There was a power cut but, like true professionals, they carried on a capella. Afterwards I went over and bought one of Imelda's CDs she was selling from the boot of her car. Amazing lady 😻
I saw her yesterday at Nottingham's 'City Pulse' festival. What a stunning band! I have seen many good live acts but this one was so full of fun and enthusiasm. They projected their enjoyment right off that stage and into a very appreciative crowd. Thanks Imelda May and your fantastic band.
Imelda sure knows how to fire up a song. Great band too and FAB HUSBAND and they now have a beautiful little daughter. God bless them all and thanks for the music, and upload.
Imelda May is simply 'fabulous'! My 2 year old daughter recognizes & dances to her tunes, my ringtone is 'big bad handsome man' (reminds me of the Hubbie...) In this day & age of manufactured pop & auto tuning, Imelda & her amazingly talented Husband Darryl Higham make a great change to the 'musical geniuses' we are forced to listen to in the Top 40 & on awful shows like The X Factor.... Imelda, we love your music, please keep it coming!! :) x
He got me with a hook Those big bass notes Thunder in my chest Stuck in my throat Pulling me down Like a rumble in the ground Crawls up from the depths With a deep down sound Johnny got a boom boom Johnny got a bam He got a Big bomb body Lonely neck Swear it was a woman That he had in his grip Big vibrations, yeah Just one glance He'd gonna blow my mind He's gonna make me wanna Make me wanna, oh Watch that man See what's in his hands Got no joy He's a big bad boy He's gonna freak you out You're gonna shriek out loud He's got you in his hands He's gonna make you wanna Make you wanna, oh
My friend asked me to go see Imelda May with her on the off-chance I was free. I was free and now my life is much enriched with Imelda-ness :) loooove her ^^
I saw her live last year at Hyde Park festival, London. One if not the best set that day, full of energy and passion. Great voice and and a great lady.
Wow a real singer with a real voice and good music... so refreshing when compared to todays stale and auto tuned music industry. Just found a new artist worth listening to.
I love how much the double bass is involved in this song! My dad told me he saw Imelda May live and when she was about to sing this the bass player came right up next to her, he must have been so enthusiastic about his role in it!!
A whole lotta soul and attitude as real as can be! Imelda i know this from a few years ago.. but please come back to the States.. New England area if possible.
and finally someone with REAL TALENT a gutsy voice and a Dublin lass at that!! Will be going to see her here in Brussels next week......can't wait :-))))
I just saw Imelda May for the first time and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen! -I have seen and continue to see all kinds of music: Classical, hardcore punk, pop, jazz, blues, opera...baby, I was born to the beat! Imelda May DELIVERS THE GOODS! What a voice!! The band is badass kickass great!!
This song always reminds me of why I play double bass -- because it's cool, because it's fun, because it sounds awesome, and in the hopes that a woman like Imelda will dig me for it. Mostly that last one.
Love Imelda May and band. Saw them at Beautiful Days Festival 2 years ago, been hooked ever since. Refreshing, and feet so firmly on the ground.. . . . .
Man. I just love her voice. The first time I saw Imelda May was on Later With Jools Holland (On BBC America). She performed before Katy Perry and the difference in voice quality, delivery and power was remarkable. Nothing against Ms. Perry, but her voice (IMO) cannot compare to Imelda May. There is a certain quality in Ms. May's voice that the over-produced pop-singers just do not have. I'm sorry to hear Ms. May and her husband broke up, but I'm glad she's continuing her career. We need more true artists and far less over-produced "musical product" to choose from. We can always hope. But I'm not holding my breath given today's PC music business.
Went to see her at the marquee in cork last thurs.what a gig.probably the best live gig i have been to.she has an incredible voice and the band are class as well.
I saw her and the band open for Jeff Beck Last night, they were great. She came out and did a fantastic version of Lilac Wine w/ Jeff, it was spine tingling.
I'm from Mexico and about one year ago I bought her CD without knowing that it would become the CD I have recommended to everyone I know. Imelda COMO TO MEXICO NOW!!
I saw Imelda and her band perform "Johnny Gotta..." on Jools Holland as well. She and her band stole the show hands down. I love her voice, her delivery, energy and that she is a real, talented human being. Something missing in way too much of today's music.
I also saw this band on Jools Holland on New Years Eve. For such a tricky song, they sounded very tight and polished, and they played it faster on the show too!
I saw her in cork she was amazing I can’t believe she cashed in her quif for bangs and crying !!! It was so original as it was !! I love all her old music !
I first heard Imelda on a movie soundtrack. Mayhem was the song. It took a little doing , but I found it. That was way before I knew about TH-cam. I ordered her CD and just went crazy for her music
@heights2 Couldn't agree more. Where has this girl been or why haven't I heard her before. One of the best voices ever! Love the music. Made a playlist today and have been listening all day to anything ImeldaMay. Absolutely great!

My introduction was when I saw her open in Charlotte a few years ago for Elvis Costello
My introduction was the tribute to Les Paul with Jeff Beck. BLEW MY MIND!
Why can't I like this twice? So good.
You can set up as many accounts as you'd like and like the video on each account!
Imelda please come back !!! Your army awaits you ... Rockabilly Princess.
Now THIS is a singer with real talent! What a voice! And Charisma in spades! Full package.
Hell, this is it💥
@@marialeysen2030 Yes & I have seen her after her split & without the rockabilly package & she is still fantastic
Great voice!
Definitely a rare gem underestimated
Dude kills it on the bass on this one...
I saw her yesterday at Nottingham's 'City Pulse' festival. What a stunning band!
I have seen many good live acts but this one was so full of fun and enthusiasm. They projected their enjoyment right off that stage and into a very appreciative crowd.
Thanks Imelda May and your fantastic band.
God almighty! It's been 13 years since this came out. Where did time fly? Still sounds as good today as it first did then.
Imelda May, a right royal rockabilly hippy chick.
And the band!!...simply awesome.
This is what the New Jersey sound is about.......rock a billy and a little blues thrown in for good measure.......love the beat...crazy cat...
A living legend! Touring in her native Ireland at the moment
Wow, love this! Imelda is an amazing singer AND the band is SOOOoooo great!
Imelda sure knows how to fire up a song. Great band too and FAB HUSBAND and they now have a beautiful little daughter. God bless them all and thanks for the music, and upload.
Ex husband lol
This song is definitely hers Miss Imelda May!
She certainly gave me a boom boom. Thanks for the feeling.
This song gets in your muscles, bones and mind and takes you. Love it.

He got me with a hook
Those big bass notes
Thunder in my chest
Stuck in my throat
Pulling me down
Like a rumble in the ground
Crawls up from the depths
With a deep down sound
Johnny got a boom boom
Johnny got a bam
He got a
Big bomb body
Lonely neck
Swear it was a woman
That he had in his grip
Big vibrations, yeah
Just one glance
He'd gonna blow my mind
He's gonna make me wanna
Make me wanna, oh
Watch that man
See what's in his hands
Got no joy
He's a big bad boy
He's gonna freak you out
You're gonna shriek out loud
He's got you in his hands
He's gonna make you wanna
Make you wanna, oh
Just ordered the Jeff Beck Rock and Roll Party DVD with Imelda on. Saw it on TV and just had to order it. Sheer brilliance, and what a band !
Where have you been hiding, Imelda? This was awesome.
My friend asked me to go see Imelda May with her on the off-chance I was free. I was free and now my life is much enriched with Imelda-ness :) loooove her ^^
Now she is one gorgeous singer/song writer....Brilliant!
She certainly is!
She is definitely the whole package
I saw her live last year at Hyde Park festival, London.
One if not the best set that day, full of energy and passion.
Great voice and and a great lady.
Love her and this sound.......hope she keeps them coming!
Alle ihre Songs supergeil und dann diese mega coole Frau... Hammer...
Wow! Great sound!
Had never heard of Imelda May until the Graham Norton Show...she is fantastic, and so are the band....REAL MUSIC!!
overkill - you had me already at the bass line !
Wow a real singer with a real voice and good music... so refreshing when compared to todays stale and auto tuned music industry. Just found a new artist worth listening to.
Rockabilly puro, energético, altamente dançante...quebrando tudo!!!
Love Your Work With Jeff Beck On “JEFF Beck Rock ’n’ Roll Party Honoring Les Paul Was Outstanding”……….
I love how much the double bass is involved in this song!

I really like this lady - the retro sound & look, so cool...
Preciosa canción, recuerdo de tiempos mejores con ese sabor a vintage de lp recién abierto.
I'm from Mexico and about one year ago I bought her CD without knowing that it would become the CD I have recommended to everyone I know. Imelda COMO TO MEXICO NOW!!

It was the 2011 Hootenanny. And that year was (IMO) an exceptional array of music.
