Walking Blues (Robert Johnson) feat. Keb' Mo' | Playing For Change | Song Around The World
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2019
- In honor of blues legend Robert Johnson's birthday, we are proud to share our latest Song Around The World, "Walking Blues," featuring Keb' Mo' along with musicians from six countries. Originally written and recorded by Son House in 1930, Robert recorded his own version in 1936. We started our version in Patagonia, Argentina with Roberto Luti and Nico Bereciartua playing slide guitars in front of a 100-year-old fig tree and with that raw performance, we added friends as we traveled to create a blues jam around the world. Blues is always from the people for the people and this video creates a moment in time to come together and put all the darkness and division we face as a human race into the music so it can set us free. Turn it up and enjoy!

I'm 59 years old & was raised in Mississippi. I lived on a soybean & cattle farm. I worked with black farmhands whose ancestors worked the same land as slaves. For the same family. I got to experience first hand the drinking and blues playing in old electrified slave quarters. No running water. Just power. Tin roofs that would lull you to sleep at night if it was "drizzling". My alcoholic father had thrown me out at 16 & I went to work on that farm. The old shack I lived in still had newspapers on the wall from 1913 that was used as insulation. Complete with an outhouse. Labor laws were a joke & I'm grateful for it. I lived in a house that slaves built, worked and lived in. I didn't realize it at the time because of being young but I lived in a real part of history. I took a google walk around the edges of the old place a few days ago & though it's gravel roads are gone & it's been bulldozed and lies underneath overgrowth, I can pin point the exact spot where my beautiful little home was. I became a man there & learned so much from those old, black gentlemen. I miss the crap out of it. Hard work and all.
It touches your soul doesn’t it ❤
Oh, man best comment I ever read. Thanks my brother.
Wooow thank you sooo much for telling you story! ❤
Wow that is such a rich story. Thank you for sharing
Thats a cool story man
It's nice to see that Mr.Robert Johnson's "Walkin Blues" have walked all over this world. Keep on sliding. Peace.🕊
It's important to keep this type of music alive.
The Blues is the roots,
all the rest are the fruits!
Robert Johnson could never have imagined how well known his songs would be and all the pleasure the world would get from them. Bless him wherever he is now.
Well said
@@jagii8361 right. Anyway it's a great song those old blues men gifted us.
@@jagii8361 The legends are way more fun, but yes.
Oh he KNOWS...💜💜💜
I think he's buried in Greenwood, Mississippi?
HOLY effin CRAP!! Just blown away like a moth in a tornado, here . . .
Incredibly innovative. Thank you, Keb Mo and all y'all.
My God, Mr. Keb I love and FEEL YOUR MUSIC! Thank you thank you, for putting a bounce in this ol ladies step. God bless u & urs !!!!!!
Whoever did the audio engineering for this track deserves a Grammy.
i agree this is insane quality
My EXACT thoughts
Terrific job
That's the truth.
Also capable performers and good picturization!
@@glennlopez6772 all buskin pros with the man himself keb-mo :) cant beat that
GREAT song, and GREAT musicians! Harmonica the best!
I love music like this you just have to here it and have soul
ich bin 56 , mag einfach nur gut gespielte Musik,unter anderem auch guten Blues Baby , aber ws das wichtigste ist , man mus die Musik fühlen ,oder??, ach , ja geile Sache , das nen ich musik, Greets from Germany
Now that's a groove
Wonderful , how a thousand people can not like this I just don't know but got a feeling they got no soul!
Baffling
Amen sista
No feeling !
They liked it, you know they were still tappin their feet right till the end...
Loved every second of it!!!
What a brilliant way to bring people together. Not a fan of the Internet but this is one of the positives.
I can hear this song 10 times in a row and still wanna start it again and again and again
It does get in you!
it sorta resonates, doesn't it.
I dont care how old i am. They rock the hell out of me. So good❤❤❤
THat Keb' Mo' has The voice of the Blues like the ancestors ...
ThE voice, And ThE look, because he IS one of them
@Frequency Of Creation
Have you ever listened to present day African a capella singing...i.e.Zulu ...you'll love it if you have never heard it before..something " spiritual" to it..how marvelous the variety in human vocal expression... another I think Is " Black Mambazo" a group I think it's made up of of Zulu people..( all on utube of course ).It's all designed around ..."Antiphony" or a call and response..in blues 3 chord structure the first two verses repeat then the third closes with an answer. A soloist call and response...my point is that the timbre or musical color of the African peoples is so unique.. like none other . White people can do great singing also but if they even try to imitate a " black" voice its a joke. sounds real phony... but to say blues is purely a "Black" genre or whatever u want is not quite true. As far as instrumentals they ( Africans) did not come or better said brought here to America as slaves with guitars or banjos harmonicas etc.Quite possible they made their own version of a stringed instrument.. Listen closely really closely to " hillbilly type music..its blues!!...and where did the " whites " get their instruments..Some say Spaniards left there guitars here..same as in Mexico. and even in Hawaiian islands... If you read in the bible book of Psalms ( songs) for one there is a mention of stringed instruments several thousand years ago!! Kind David was known as a virtuoso harpist being a shepherd as many back then were. The African people did have a one stringed instrument some thing played like a violin with a bow...going back to Ethiopian music. Who knows? When the Queen of Sheba visited the renowned King Solomon ..he may have exchanged gifts including those " harps" that she returned to Ethiopia with......but the blacks truly " refined" the music of what we like to call blues BETTER than most..but music is a gift from God if u think about it..we naturally have our own preferences. Blues actually follows a 3 chord system which originated with black Christian Gospel....unlike much of the European influence. We're a baby nation actually and music always evolves when mixed with other peoples music. So all said..Blues is not black... it's a blend of many influences...given the introduction of musical instruments... But perhaps you already knew that.
He's good, but too smooth. No grit at all. You listen to those pre-war guys you get chills. Never happens with good old Mo'.
Its called whiskey
... I heard somebody say, just because they're dead doesn't mean they're smart...
Listening to Keb' Mo' singing about shoes is sooo convincing!
Awesome song! 🤩
I play it at least once a day. it makes me wince, grimace, smile and dance.
DUDES!!!! ALL TAKE A BLOODY BOW. JUST BRILLIANT..
This got this old, 63 year old man tapping his feet. Great!
Old ???
Rhythm of life
Sound quality is off the charts!
Sublime, envoûtant, magique,magnifique, roboratif ...de la pure musique pour de belles émotions !
Merci les mecs pour ce cadeau 🎁 !
La paix sur vous tous.
Jim depuis la Normandie en France.
C’est du blouse c’est toujours une musique envoûtante
If blues musicians ruled the world there might be hope for us all !
amen to that
Hear hear
Very good People, you deserve a Nobel for Peace for all the love spreading for all the web! Cheers everyone!
Agree with you. Greetings From France
Best ever! Sweden
Cheers! Excellent job, guys! From Oklahoma.
Da hüpft meine Seele. Fantastisch.
Feeding your soul the good stuff, this is what blues is all about. Off the dial musicianship.
Who on Earth gave this a thumbs down? What a great tribute to Robert Johnson - this is a KEEPER! Thankyou Lady and Gentlemen.
What a fantastic display of musicians worldwide and the music that touches us all - no matter geographic location, culture, or language. Truly a joy.
That's the blues I love. Just back porch. Now it's being played across cultures and countries. That's why nothing can bring people faster than music can. I love this series.
You re right, that amazing
Live the whole vibe
"Playing For Change" = for me this is the best project here on TH-cam = never underestimate the power of music :)
If I had a voice as good as Keb’Mo’ I’d never stop singing.
If he had a voice as good as mine he would !
Me too👏
Holly S-it, I could hear that in a loop, 24 hours a day. Such a great rhythm, licks, voice, harmonica, bass, etc. More of it please! 😍😍
Some days I just right click play button and select loop...and the day takes care of itself. 👌
It doesn't matter how many times I hear this . It never gets old . So much talent on one recording 👏 🙌
The Gentleman has felt the blues, lived the blues and for these few minutes transferred his feelings to music that the "thumbs down" folks can never understand because it take a blues soul to interpret and feel.
I am so pleased that the Blues has something for the world. I am 71 and raised on blues, blues rock, and blues bluegrass. I know that it was meant to live on!
The old professor
Clan Robertson I approve!!! I always loved the blues...I'm a beginner, playing standard 12 bar blues! ...I'm still trying to find French blues lovers... I ain't found my partners yet...Cheers from France 🤗
Many, many of these collaborations are great - this one is out of this world!
Just one more morning. Had to wake up with the blues. Pull myself out of bed. Put on my walking shoes. Keb Mo, y’all got this laced up tight.
Standing for Peace from Italy
Listening here in Brazil!! Man, what a song!!!
Keb' Mo' is not merely a national, but a global treasure.
True
Thanks from France
That harmonica playing takes me on a journey through all of time!
Indeed sooo good
Holy chit, Whoever thought this up is pure genius.
I feel every bit
Some world class talent here. Case in point, the washboard player.
This just proves that music is the universal language, down south we have a saying,this will do! I do believe that this will do !!!
Think of Robert Johnson waking up into a world where people from all over are playing his music! He wouldn't have thought it could be possible, but now it is, thanks to you guys. What a great project.
Super musiciens !! Robert Johnson a été le premier King ! Merci de partager cette merveilleuse musique !
Some of the best music I have heard in a long time.
This is a beautiful rendition of a mississippi delta blues classical. Let's keep it alive for centuries to come!
I assure you the BLUES is alive and well. Clarksdale MS streams it live nightly... even in this weird socially distant time, but please-- don’t take my word for it. Come visit Clarksdale when it’s safe! Red’s is the most authentic juke joint you’ll find
Beautiful !!!!!! Love this dont mind dying mister covid
Veronica we just had our first mini blues fest last weekend and this weekend another! The blues, uh, finds a way
listen to this:

WOW Blown away. Keb Mo...what a perfect blues voice!
There's no way to measure the magnitude of impact Playing For Change has made on humanity, it's so damn big we can't even imagine the size and the ripple effects for decades to come. Thank You for such awesome productions, so many songs, it's refreshing, I feel like I have been given the chance to relive the 70s and 80s again. Wow!
I could not agree more well done
There are many ways to measure it. We get you like the song, but that's a ridiculous thing to say.
Auf dem Punkt gebracht....
Ihr seid Menschen die es verstehen...
Mfg Achim
Nachmachen ist ok,.......es besser zu machen und weiterentwickeln ist Kunst. Wie alles...
Es ist menschlich...
Dafür sind wir ja da.... oder???
Unified the world.. Blues, Robert Johnson, and music technology! Enjoyed it so much.
Amazing BLUES! Loving Chris Pierce, Keb Mo' and all of the wonderful musicians. Well done, Playing for Change!

Kevin Roosevelt Moore aka Keb Mo is a true blue Mississippi Delta statesman for all the great Blues guitarist that came out of that region. Saw him in Seattle in 97’ play the steel Dobro guitar and he was truly amazing.Thanks for keeping the spirit alive Keb Mo
The. Good. Lord. Sure. Did. Bless. This. Crew. What a. Magical. Combination. Absolutely. Beautiful. Every. Detail. Love. Love. Love. It...😉😉😉😘😘😘😘
Could wake up every morning listening to this. Amazing.
Can't tell why,.. But when hearing Keb,.. A smile always gets to my face..
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! Keb' Mo' be THE man! How can 1.4k idiots "thumbs down"? wtf?
Just incredible, I cannot get over the sound production of this song let alone the beyond incredible talent. I'm in tears, the appreciation in the comments even melted my heart.
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤
I well up each time I watch this absolute masterpiece. So pleased I came across it...
Tears down my face...
🎉🎉🎉❤
Utter, utter genius. Thanks everyone, that's made my day.
I was just listening to Walkin Blues by Muddy Waters last night and I woke up to this great version! Superb! A piece of magic! 🤓👍🎵🤘🏴
I’ve listened to this song everyday for over a year and it’s always marvelous. 😊
Nice Bluuuuuuueess sound!
You can feel some Robert Johnson right throught this..Amazin'
Dean Twelve Actually I believe it was a Muddy Waters tune. Not sure though.
Jim Chumley It was Robert Johnson...I have the complete recordings
Oh, my God, wonderful this blues of Robert Johnson!
If this song can't mend between differences! Than what can?? Much love~
so good
I’m thinking music is the only thing in 2020 that gives me hope. That was an awesome tribute
Steve Kutz - PFC’s videos have been bringing me a lot of much needed joy in 2020, also!!!
I agree, Steve. And, come to think of it, that’s how it’s always been. Whether you’re talking about the original Mississippi Delta players, us during this pandemic, Shostakovich’s 7th symphony during WWII. Music has always been that last vestige of hope that kept us going as that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep up the fight within yourself. Not to be funny its quit the battle though in the end you're going to win the hardest fight you will ever encounter.

Keb’ Mo’ & Chris Pierce, what great music they make & share. I could listen to them all day!
So far apart and so together. Awesome. Just the way we should be.
Best interpretation of this old blues standard I've heard since Paul Butterfield's Better Days album way back in the 70's
Playing for change. IS solid GOOD. My FREINDS band's NAME is Tounge and GROVE.
Y'all go check out joanne Connors version, awesome !!
@@martinmaxwell256 here it is: th-cam.com/video/iSwoM7WIy5M/w-d-xo.html
And long before Butterfield was the great original songwriter here and before possibly the many others wayback..undeniably the best accoustic blues: Robert Johnson played before blues were even heard of
Or let alone recorded or on radio
And Joanna Conner is great ! Chicago loves her!
Don’t see many reference to Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The albums, especially the 60’s stuff, is required listening for blues fans. The self titled album and East West were a revelation to me in high school. I can still here “Born in Chicago” ringing in my tiny little head.
Keb' Mo как всегда неотразим и огонь!!!! Как и весь сам проект!!!
The top du top merci.....;-)
Y'all did R.J. justice! Awesome!
Yes, music is a bridge to uniting color and cultures. Love these blues!

Good. God knows our hearts better. In the meantime, we will communicate. However, I don't know English very well. And by ear I perceive it as the murmur of a river. You'll have to train me.
