Everybody's Fightin' 'Bout a Spoonful - From the Delta to Chicago - Blues Guitar - Edward Phillips

Her'e my acoustic slide guitar version of the Willie Dixon classic spoonful. My lyrics deviate slightly from the original as I learned it 20 years ago and always do it off the top of my head - very much acceptable in blues.

Your singing voice complements your guitar playing so well.

[@larrytron1992]

There’s something so hypnotic about delta and Chicago blues

[@lincolnsantos9423]

Blues da melhor qualidade!
O violão dele lembra a viola nordestina, muito usada por músicos repentistas do nordeste brasileiro.

[@Mr666roger666]

Now, that was NICE!

[@aaronrai4128]

Perfect.

[@robsoneduardodrakho3204]

Very good Edward, this tuning is open G or D??

[@CaptainDrewBlood]

[@philt4346]

What a take, brilliant vocal, quite menacing in the moment.

[@johnpaul2285]

[@sapelesteve]

Well done Edward! 👍👍🎸🎸🎤🎤

[@Sue-mi5kg]

I believe that`s open D

[@gavincunningham6422]

Fantastic! Really brought the original feeling of the blues.

[@insubordinateandchurlish_]

That was really good

[@joel6221]

Bro your stuff is always amazing

[@jasonhuber8663]

I really enjoy your music...!! Especially your slide work..

Open D..?

[@LadyAxe13]

I can listen to your playing (and singing) all day!

[@justinwilliamson9037]

Love your playing, my favourite on you tube. Thank you.🙌🙌
What tuning are you in please.🙏

[@jamesbrown55]

Nice job as always. Like the new hat.

[@sidwhitten7126]

Class man.

[@johnstorace1967]

From what I have read on old blues jargon a spoonful or also known as a loving spoonful referred to the volume of a man's ejaculate. I'm sure that the band The Loving Spoonful thought it was hilarious when they were on the scene and nobody was the wiser on where their name came from and what it referred to.

[@davidklepinger4809]

You totally kick butt, Eddie!

[@bigjimmedalock4878]

Nice

[@lloydjames1787]

Really excellent. Great job

[@brauliocavalcanti3703]

Excelent as always, Ed. Come to Europe!

[@DavidMFChapman]

Great version!

[@uncommonsensewithpastormar2913]

How about doing a “non-blues” Cream song like “Tales of Brave Ulysses” or “Strange Brew”?

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Great vocal.

[@j1w2t3]

🥄🥣🥄🥣🥄

[@Manandmachine772]

Edward, I believe this might be my favorite song you have done.
Very well done!!!

[@mikepass4179]

Your the Man !

[@superhepu]

Just brilliant! Thx

[@michaelrafferty5441]

you should begin every video with a brief discussion on the axe you are playing.

[@patrickbluesguitar]

can you please put your music on spotify. your music is fantastic

[@longjaw-1]

Great version 👍

[@zaingamel1]

What an awesome vibrato you have!

[@frankjamesenglishartist]

What its all about..

[@artwhat..]

Nice..

[@richardgray8593]

It's a sick world where some people would rather hear Gaga than this guy.

[@Phoboss32]

Will there ever be any blues courses from you?

[@chriswatson6806]

Man I wish I knew what tuning that was in

[@nicolazocco9881]

Next time patton's spoonful, please!;-)

[@elmonte5lim]

Can blue men sing the whites?
In your case, no question!

[@toddburgess6792]

Maybe Jack White sings Black Betty?

[@elmonte5lim]

@@toddburgess6792 I don't know of Jack White.
Have you heard of the 'Bonzo Dog doo-dah Band?
But then, that was around the time I saw Howlin' Wolf, in London.
Cream were still together.

[@toddburgess6792]

@@elmonte5lim I do not know of the 'Bonzo Dog doo-dah Band, but I do remember when Cream were together. I was a pre-teen. You saw Howlin' Wolf in London, that's cool. I've never been to England, not likely I ever will. :-(

[@elmonte5lim]

@@toddburgess6792 The Bonzos recorded a track on one of their albums, the name of which escapes me for the moment, although I have the vinyl.
It includes the lyrics:
'Can blue men sing the whites? (which may, well be the title)
Or are they hypocrites?' (pronounced to rhyme)
In any event, if you're interested, you can probably track them down on Wikipedia, along with albums and track listings.
Failing that, there's Google.
Actually, if you search on this platform, you may find some examples of their music, but give 'Urban Spaceman' a miss, it's not typical, their record company wanted a single that was commercial.
I can, pretty-much guarantee that you won't have heard anything like their stuff.
Some nice grass would help to get into the swing of things.
;)
The sixties!
Ya had to have been there!

[@KennethHall-tp4hw]

I heard this song was about heroin? Maybe not idk...anyone know?
