Composed by Anthony Bennett
Anthony "Duster" Bennett:Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica & Percussion
Recorded at CBS Studios, London, England Between August and September, 1968
Originally issued on the 1968 album "Duster Bennett:Smiling Like I'm Happy" (Blue Horizon 7-63208) (LP) (U.K.)
This recording taken from the 1994 CD "Duster Bennett:Jumpin' At Shadows" (U.K.)
One of the greatest blues songs ever written. Certainly the best from the UK
It is exceptional!!!
I hear God
the definitive version of this is on Duster's debut album Smiling Like I'm Happy . I bought that album 2nd hand from a boy at school around 1969( best 50p I ever spent) and played it to death. Although Duster played as a one-man band he was helped out on a fee tracks by his "house band" ( so called on the liner notes) consisting of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Peter Green. He was good friends with Peter and wrote Jumping at Shadows about him. Peter would also play on Duster's next album Bright Lights .... recorded live in Godalming, Surrey ; but for contractual reasons was listed as Peter Blue!
Duster Bennett, one of the truly great British blues legends sadly no longer with us. His recordings with Peter Green back in the sixties are legendary.
I had the honour of the friendship o f Tony(Duster) back in the 60's at Epsom Art School we formed a jug band called "The Epwell J ug Stompers" had great fun, he was a lovely bloke and a great match for Stella
tony cooper Duster - such a unique talent. Must have been great to know him 🙏🏻
Peter Green did a fantastic version. The live Boston recording is his his best guitar phrasing period...listen to 1:00-1:16 and 1:50-1:57...and cry...
.. true !
Yep!
Duster was a tremendous talent. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac did what is in my opinion an even better version of this song but Duster's take on it is superb too.
#1 on my best Blues songs ever.
Peter Green worked with Duster on one of his LP's. Peter was a very giving person who had no problems helping a friend. I have no proof just a thought process on knowing both Duster and Peter's music. I would not be surprised if Peter helped Duster put this song together, the song is very much like Peter's style and life of being on edge . Either way it is an amazing song credited to a friend Peter Green worked with, a classic . RIP Duster and Peter.
I love this guy, his tunes are the best. While I was in school 70's me and my roomies would sit around the the wood stove drink bourbon, smoke camels and play our harmonicas, 10am, Sometimes we would go to class Ahh the old school days.
Duster was a great friend' and best man at my first wedding. Great music, and he experimented with a differently tuned guitar. Stella, his wife, came to live with us after Tony died so tragically in the car crash. A real Christian friend, a great loss. He was, I think, about to try to break into Australia?
+Peter, Thank's for sharing that story. So Glad to hear Duster was a Christian, I hope Stella is still well?
What does someones religion have to do with playing the Blues?
@Grace&Danger 👍
2:40 - "I once saw Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Status Quo and Duster Bennett in one show." - "Yeah, sure - have another drink".
Yep, at Nottingham's Pop & Blues Festival. Sat May 10th 1969 .. noon to 1pm. And it cost £1.10p on the gate, Us 70+ers had some great music when it was young and fresh. ... before the £100+ stadium gigs..
@@donaldnicholls2637 all that crammed into one hour! Or maybe it was 1am…great great times to be listening to live music. I saw The Groundhogs and Stone the Crows in Bromley Kent where I went to school. At the time we just thought it was normal to have such bands around to listen to every weekend.
Duster Bennett - what an immense talent. “Thinkin’ about my life...”. Sheer brilliance.
I always thought this was a Peter green song but after listening to the DUSTER BENNETT'S original OMG it blow me away
peter took this song to a new dimension with his sweet tones but always gave credit to Duster Bennet for the song
One of the best blues songs ever written, he was a real superstar, saw him live several times, with Victor Brox and Mayall
Fabulous song. Really sweet vocals in tandem with a lyric to die for.
His music accompanied me thru life… nothing more to say. Thank you for leaving it online regardless of copyright.
This song goes right to my bones. Its good for my soul.
we bought this in 1969, very good!
CHILLS UP MY SPINE.... Duster done it!!!!!!
I can't articulate just how brilliant this is.
I've got this album " smiling like I'm happy" from 1968, great music , Peter Green , Mick Fleetwood and John McVie play on it, what more could you want.
I've waited years to hear this...a thousand thank yous.
Been listening to the Mc versions for decades but now, at last, the original.
"the original" - was it, really? I never knew that before! I loved DB's music!
Fabulous! I am familiar with the excellent Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac version but I think they drop one of the verses. Only saw Duster once opening for Fleetwood Mac and B B King - memorable gig at the Albert Hall.
Saw Duster in the early seventies supporting Bad Company. Brilliant night. A great blues jam at the end with Duster, Bad company, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones no less! What can I say?
Mann Mann Mann , was für ein Blues !!! wooooowwwww !
Cripes!!!!. I remember seeing him with Fleetwood Mac... a long, long time ago. If there is a heaven I want to see him with his harp and all.Came over as a really good guy too. Good music.
what a GREAT blues song---what a cut!
There is an old compilation album called Super Duper Blues with a great version from Duster of this.
2:44 lol Mac had top billing over Pink Floyd. What a different world it would be if that acid trip didn't ruin Peter.
@PaulXPZ: End of the Game was a classic album produced by Peter Green after the "acid trip" and the following was 8 years later...

He did not die until a couple months ago. Not sure what world you are living in
Munich is a lie. Look deeper.
@@Rikktor123 how so? I’m curious to learn more about Peter, watched a few documentaries and interviews so far, do you have any recommended readings/ watching a?
Watchings*
I saw him open for John Mayall when he did the "california" tour in 68 or 69. Unbelievable talented blues one man band - unique and perfectly executed.
1970 actually.
must add that I'm dead jealous of those that saw Duster and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac I concert.
I count myself truly lucky to have seen Duster perform live with Fleetwood Mac. As many have said here, a great talent and blues artist.
Saw Duster at Boston Gliderdrome, about 68, I think. Great performance, in the Blues Boom days - ok a bit later, but still a big part of the music world in the UK at the time. What a harpist !
The Gliderdrome had some acts back in the day.
i loved John Mayall and Chicken Shack and Fleetwood Mac so much back in the late 60's, early 70's, like so many who comment of course. Huge thanks to John Mayall for including Duster on the bill in America back then. We had never heard of him, but after seeing his one man band act so often with Mayall, you couldn't help but love Duster and his music. Is he still playing? Alive? Thanks for a great video randomandrare.
he was unfortunately killed in a car accident in 1976
One of Peter Green’s greatest assets was telling audiences that this was Duster “Tony” Bennett’s tune but it was theirs as shared and they both knew it came from them both regardless of who added to Duster’s imagined comment, “here listen to this”. It only exists because of two friends having a warm sharing. Anyway the harmonica carries it forward even though PG was also a great harmonica too.
Came across (shorty) Duster 70/71 when i bouught an LP in Cologne called " The Blues ".It impressed me very much . From then on I became a Fan. It's a pitt that he left Us so early 😭
Saw him at Tofts in Folkestone late 60s. Great performer.
Wow, I have never heard this version before and I have been listening to Duster's records since the 1960s. Wouldn't have minded going to that "blues and pop" festival in Nottingham (at Meadow Lane) for 17/6!
Could only find one Duster Bennett LP (On Polydor) released here in the US back in old days. Great voice and harp.
A truly great public performer. Back to the Gin Mill in Godalming. 5 shillings on the night.
Surprising the number of us who used to go there! All the way from Chiddingfold in my case!
What a jewel! Makes my blues hart weep... Thanks for posting! Peace to you all.
Admission fee: 17/6 or 75p or 85 US cents - for that lineup! Awesome!
Dig it! First time hearing this.. thanks for posting! Peace.
I love Dusters " Hang Your Washing " , very nice .
Thank You..
This was recorded for a B.B.C. session I believe. I like it more that the version on Duster's debut album 'Smiling Like I'm Happy'. He did some great stuff on those radio sessions, including superb versions of 'Love Me Like You Can' (which became 'I Want You To Love Me') and 'Worried Mind', also a great rendition of Frank Frost's 'Ride With Your Daddy Tonight'.
Hi 'Sailor' Vernon - I was a friend of Duster's too, between 1970 - 76 - too bad you and I never met!
Brilliant Duster such a loss
this is unbelievable
I love his voice ❤️
It's great to hear the original version of this one. Fantastic harmonica playing, and we see where Danny (of FM) got the rhythm guitar from.
Stunning
@paulvernon100 You're very welcome! I've wanted to post it for quite a while, but I just found the CD in my storage boxes. I would have loved to have met Duster Bennett.
Take care,
Mike
hereford weather and the other hand is a good idea
Saw Duster at the Marquee before Peter Green and the real Mac!, Still sounds great!
@kemposoefi You're very welcome and peace to you too!
Great song by a great English bluesman. randomandrare - do you have a copy of "Bright Lights Big City" by Duster Bennett that you could put on youtube? It was recorded at the Ginmill Club-the Angel Hotel-in Godalming, Surrey and a lot of us who were regulars there would love to hear it. Thanks.
It is available now, if you check out 'The Gin Mill Club, Godalming' . . . Happy memories !!
No words!!!
😍magnifico!
✨💙✌️✨
I'd love to play the Harp like this!
This is very nice!!!
Great!
available now complete blue horizon sessions duster 68 t0 70 two cd collection
@goodriddens1 Click on "show more" under the clip. I have all of the info included there. Thank you for viewing, Mike
Woah-Nelly
Wow .. Peter Green sounds exactly like Bennett. Peter's roots for sure !
When was this recorded. It is one of the all time standards. the original is the best. I am involved in a Blues band and the shaps in this song are quite complex
03:00 - Check out that line up.
Duster also recorded for Blue Horizon, that's where I first heard him, th-cam.com/video/Xews85ll0Wo/w-d-xo.html
don't forget Alexis Corner !
remember him about 68 - little bit alexis - a little bob -
Peter Green did an amazing cover of this song, hearing it sung by Duster - albeit without the guitar lead that Greeny put into it I find that this is equal to that cover.
even though the originals are soem times worse than when awesome talent covers them, it is obvious Duster is very talented singer and I am assuming the harmonica player in this recording?
Very nice...
got me
How did this guy not get recognized when he's 50 times better than Clapton?
Com'on James don't start bashing Eric, how many times does he have to prove himself? You can prefer whoever you like, but they can still both be great in their own rite. Nobody is 50 times better than Clapton, except maybe me? Lol
Because he's not?
Great song. I like the Gary Moore version too. Both awesome.
greeny's versions are damn good too
imagine if Haraki created a stand with this song
C'est la meilleur version de jumping chadows
It starts in G, but I'm too lazy and stupid to work out the bridge.
His voice sounds a lot like Peter's.
This might be a stupid question, but does anyone happen to know what key he is playing in? I would like to learn this song, but I need to know which key to play in.
He is playing a C harp in second position, guitar is playing mainly in G .
Do you know what the chords for bridge section are?
Lol ... that's a lot better than Clapton. Too bad he died young in 1976.
WOW-ive heard of the peter green version for a long time*but NEVER KNEW DUSTY TILL NOW?> WHAT A TALENTED /TRULY AMAZING 1 MAN BAND* WHAT A LOSS -WORLD OF MUSIC -DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE* RECORDINGS?WHERE TO FIND THEM? MR. PETER ELLIOT?
