I'm from nepal. I was about to sleep. Jj uploaded his masterpiece . now i just opened the window to let inside the cool Himalayans breezes and feel the air with his music and the local apple juice. This is all i can ask for a good a life . God bless you jj.
🧘♀️🌞👍💞
Indeed !
Mountain folk is mountain folk, love from the USA.
I toast your apple juice with a glass of Johnny Walker platinum. Have a great night!
@@SandstormGT i dozed off listening to it and just woke up. Good night to you good sir.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Nov 2021 and have been suffering through chemo and this helps me to relax and feel like everything is going to be okay, I'm still here. Thank you for helping me through a really rough time, Justin. UPDATE: Got through chemo, surgery and radiation and the tumor is gone. Thank you all for your support! 2nd UPDATE: 2.5 years in remission and recent MRI says All Good!
Awesome
2021 April for me. You are going to be alright ❤
Keep that positive mindset and it will help your recovery!
We believe in you!
Much love ❤️
/A random swedish dude
Wish you a swift recovery my friend
throat cancer survivor here giving you a spacecall of love and strength. Have no fear.
It is what is. These harmonics will wrap you up like the hot blanket thrown over you before the surgery. Bless you and God speed on your journey.
I was raised all over the US. Dad was oil refinery tech. My formative years we lived in Alabama. My mother made friends with a Cajun Matriarch, and I was "raised" by the Beasley family to hunt, fish, trap, skin, butcher, still and brew. I joined the Air Force right out of High School and went into non-traditional training where I knew more than the instructors on survival. I've since trained thousands to survive and thrive. I am retired now and raise my own food and make my own wine and mead. Rest for a Cajun is playing gospel, bluegrass, blues and family songs while passing a mason jar. The songs get softer and slower as the night goes on. This reminds me of those hot sticky nights with a cool breeze now and then listening to the guitar, harmonica, fiddle and box drum. Good times, good memories.
Quite possibly the most Cajun/Deep South comment I've ever read.
And thanks, one Vet to another.
Жизнь Вас закалила на славу. Вы человек старой формации -это вызывает уважение. Я из России,но чувствую, что вы по духу умудренный жизнью. Успехов вам и вашему роду. Редкость в наше время. Будь здоров!
God Bless the Beasleys and God Bless you. Be well
Hot sultry nights
wish i could find someone like you in CT. im in the wrong state
Dear Mr. Johnson.
My Dad passed away 10hours ago. Your music helps me to survive the Situation. Thank You so much man❤❤❤
I hope you and your family are doing okay
@@TenNineD thx😘... But No. We're are not. Hard Times rollin' on. Trying keep on rockin'
I hope that everything is as good as it can be now, wish u all the best
Your Dad is safe now. You must believe and try to smile by remembering him - that's all what he wants
so sorry for your loss, I hope that you have come to terms with this somewhat now he'll always be there for you, and I'm sure that he knows that you love him
This music makes me homesick for a place I've never been to.
Right
I know that place too, my friend 😴
Yes indeed, another realm entirely.
Me too! :'(
It's more than a place for me, the feeling of being/going home, being at peace. . .
Almost 80 years old and been appreciating guitar blues since high-school. What we have here is the absolute best blues guitarist on the internet. God bless you Justin for the untold hours of practice that refined your complete mastery of this timeless music.
@Bob Ghen Sr. I am 72, and have done the same thing as you. I agree, he really knows how to get a slide guitar to '''SLIDE''' to perfection!
@@jakedean278 With so many great guitar players out there, this man's vast range and vocabulary played to perfection just blows my mind. For the amazing gift he has been given, and then bestows on us, I am truly grateful.
@@bobghensr.5862 Well said.
Man this is so good. I didn’t know he posted like whole albums worth of material!?! I seen a bunch of his reinterpretations of classics and a few single original songs but this will be a porch favorite for sure! 👍🏻
Amazinggggggg.
This makes me want to sit on the porch on a cool and quiet night, the only light coming from the cherry of my cigarette, and reminisce about the heartbreaking life of crime I've never lived.
I started playing blues guitar 20 years ago and this floored me.
Amazing stuff, dude.
Thank you.
Lol I love this comment.
u can call it a cig if u want to.
quante cose...ocio che poi ti innamori troppo di questa musica come ci si innamora di una donna o di un uomo e rimani ipnotizzato
But he use cheats still.
Anyone else love this music as much as I do?
Yep
I think i even beat u at loving it xD
Oh yeah 👍 ❤😢😊😅
Absolutely do
YES
In a world where you know everything from a person's political views to what they had for dinner I'm very thankful all I know about Justin is his name and his music. He's pure art as far as I'm concerned.
Holy hell,I was just listening to some music while doing laundry,I write poetry and lyrics,had a few verses rolling around the dome.. next thing I know I got lyrics written to this beat....thanks for the inspiration J.J. ..you really are tge fresh air that country and blues needs right now!
I agree this man has insane talent!
Son of a witch, deep swamp blues is……hard to describe how perfectland well done this tune is….wonderfully dark/deep in the feeling…I love it.
As far as I’m concerned too, miss
Amen!
I should be in bed because I have to work in the morning. But I'm sipping good whiskey and listening to this. And I have no regrets about it at all.
Justin & Crown Royal a little bit of Chronic. I'm feeling so spoiled myself!!!
When you've got a good glass of scotch and a roof above your head there's not much to regret, thats just life. Peace to you. Got work in 5 hours or so but these moments are precious.
Justin Johnson is one of my favorite guitar players now.
Yes 🙌🏽 ❤😢😅
Is Justin not one of the Greatest guitarists in history?
Seriously.This man got that crossroads type shit!
I live in the jungles of Nicaragua. "Son of a Witch" and "Lost on the Storm" could be the soundtrack for the last year of my life. I am going to play this set for the monkeys that seem to like my taste in music. Much love and many blessings from the forest.
I love monkeys. Thank you for caring about them and for them! Animals appreciate music and so many people don't know that. My dog dances with me when I sing along to songs. Pure joy for us both. And Justin brings along a new dimension. I just discovered him on You Tube today. I'm so happy! And so is my pup!!🥰🥰 Thank you Justin J.💙❤💙
sounds like u should be playing the blues, yourself
@@crabbtrixexp If only I had time to learn to play my guitar! I do have great song lyrics for this crazy life, like ballads of dozens of scorpion stings, 800 plus tiny ant bites on every portion of my feet, two brown recluse bites at the same time, discovering my workers killed 29 fer-de-lances in a week, a carjacking, trading break-in/home invasion/carjacking stories with friends, bugs that secrete ejaculatory fluids to protect themselves (so strong it dissolves tattoos), chasing dogs away from the sloth and her baby, watching my land burn after a crazy ex-employee set 40 acres on fire, gnat invasions, spider season, military checkpoints, flirting with police who pull me over all the time just to say hello and ask my phone number, keeping my land safe from gun/drug/human traffickers, lies I have told to customs and police officials, a gun to my head twice...
@@kellyannthomas5727 blimey, i sometimes feel like i've had a difficult life for a westerner, but i don't think it can compares to that, makes me realise how lucky i am, you sound like one tough cookie. I am blessed to have had time in my life to learn guitar a bit, music means everything to me. I hope everything is ok in Nicaragua with the pandemic at the moment. I know i don't know you, and i'm not looking for anything in return, but is there anything i can do to help, are you able to live comfortably where you are, i can offer a little money if you have a Patreon account or something, and that would help. I hope that doesn't come across as patronising, and maybe you are not as hard up as i'm thinking, but if i can help just a little, i will.
@@crabbtrixexp You are so kind., I am honored by that gesture.
I can get by, but I have a 97 year old neighbor who has a major hernia from a man who kicked her after someone thwarted a rape attempt (on a then 91 year old woman)! She lives with her mentally handicapped daughter (70ish) and I worry about what happens when the mom passes. They live for each other.
The medicine the mom needs is $3.50 a day ($105 per month), but they don't have enough money for food, let alone medicine, so I help out as best as I can. I cannot bear to see her in pain at the end of her life. She is one of the kindest women I have ever met. They have no one else in the community who can help, so I stop by every week with a package of pills, and some rice and veggies. The past few months I cringe when I see the daughter approaching my home to look for tomatoes, onions, chicken, toilet paper...because as a foreigner, there is no way I can say no to their needs. It has been a struggle to help (and to do so graciously without feeling burdened - I am not always at that point, truthfully). I need tires, but they need food and they will always win out.
If you would like to help my neighbors, they would consider a gift from God. A few months ago I bought a big box of groceries. The daughter was ecstatic that I had included a big bar of laundry soap, evidently something they had not had in a while. And the excitement over a soft brand of toilet paper for the outhouse made me want to cry. It was beyond humbling. I may be living the blues, but their life has been the blues for most of their existence.
My YT channel has an email link. You can reach me there if you would like to help. Thank you so much for your kindness.
I'm a single mom and this play list gets me through so many bad days. It calms me, the kids, and the animals down. Thanks Justin, you are a light in the dark.
Im gay
@@crimsonhawk4912 Fine, you’re gay. Don’t care. Are you a good person? Do you make the world a better place? Treat people well?
@@crimsonhawk4912 So what I am not ??
@@crimsonhawk4912 I'm sure you're very proud of yourself but that's nothing new anymore. Did you have an intelligible point or just trolling for attention?
@@EpicTaarna bless you ,good luck
Just off a night shift. Bone tired. This came across my attention. Musicians truly are the salve for all wounds.
This music is good for staring out into space when your week has been unforgiving
That's why they call it the Blues.❤
I hear that.
Get off the roundabout.
@@lackof548 What does this mean?
@@ItsAsparageese Get outta the rat race, that any better?
When my father passed and i went through a rough patch with my mom and sister, i would skate around my town and listen to this, and it truly made me feel calm and normal, and I swear, instead of being angry, this audio gave me the ability to be relaxed and chilled out, it made me feel so normal instead of overwhelmingly depressed. Thank you Justin Johnson.
we all hit that rough spot when we lose our dad's. glad you're better man
No family like skate family. Ride on, homie!
Losing a father sucks big time. Hurts so fucking bad. The hurt does slowly dissipate though. This beautiful music was made for healing the soul.
Lost my father in 2012, ten years later my wife of five years had an affair lasting five months.
I struggle with social anxiety usually but when tragedy strikes I have no problem looking any man dead in the eyes.
I hope you've found some peace with your Mum and sister
I’m from Israel and hearing you play guitar helps me relax from all the difficulties that my country is going through this days, thank you 🙏🏻🇮🇱❤️
God has blessed Israel. Rest easy my friend. Indeed 👍🏼
Sadly yes, this is the start of The Days of Woe...
Stay safe over there mate👍🙏
Australia
difficult times indeed. let the music sooth you - & know you have a lot of support.....
Stay safe mate, we see you and we are thinking about you. Things will eventually get better. The world needs more things like music that brings us all together
This guy was touched by the hand of GOD!
His soul expression, takes you to another dimension.
Love & Respect
🎸🔥🌹👑⭕️🥃🇺🇸🌎🎶
Justin, thank you for tapping into the emotions that can't be articulated.
I am an absolutely unabashedly metal guitarist, but listening to your playing sends me to another realm. Your skill at pulling emotions out of the depths of my soul knows no bounds. You keep playing and I'll keep listening... and hopefully learning something.
🤘😎🤘
Which Randy Rhoads covers you do?
@@FarmersAreDummies I'm okay, but I'm not on that kind of level.
I hear ya brother. I'm 55. Been playing since I was 8. I know my way around but Justin's pretty special.
If you play bass, you might want to take a serious study of "the blues" - a surprising number of metal's sick bass guitar licks come from the blues.
Most heavenly blues player I ever heard was actually the bassman for a metal concert warming up, Megadeth, I think, but it might have been Metallica or Guns & Roses (I was setting up T shirt booths in the concourse, while the tour guys got the stadium ready for the magic)
This is perfection. This is basically a classic top-notch album disguised as a YT clip.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
🤘
Absolutely my friend JUSTIN JOHNSON YOU ARE A VERY TALENTED MAN AND A WORLD CLASS MUSICIAN and there is no other. You have blessed the ears of me and those who listen to you the world over from north Carolina to you sir my hats off to ya my friend THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC.
Magic music Mr Johnson, UK Pete.
Here`s the lyrics...
Fifth of whiskey and a Dixie Ninja
Melted sugar in her boat gas tank
Concentrated poison ivy oil,
Rotten fish gut water on the air intake
And good ole skunk scent in a bottle
And a little bit of gasoline....
Hell a 50 cent lighter on the curtains of the whore
No prints if the door burned down ya see....
Here's the lyrics...
'There's a palace in the canyon
Where you & I were born
Now I'm a lonely man
Let me back into
The Garden
Blue Shadows
Of the Canyon
I met you
& now you're gone
& now my dream is gone
Let me back into your Garden
A man searching
For lost Paradise
Can seem a fool
To those who never
Sought the other world...'
-And I remember Stars
In the shotgun
Night
Electric Fires..
J.M.
There needs to be a "love" button for this
I agree, from Dublin, Ireland.
As we each find our rhythm in the music of life, isn’t it incredible to see the symphony of stories in these comments? Each of us, a unique melody, with different tunes and lyrics shaped by our own experiences. It's truly wondrous! Remember, it’s perfectly normal to hit a few sour notes; it's part of composing your own masterpiece. If you're reading this, know that your journey, your crescendos and decrescendos, add to the richness of this world's harmony.
Well put brother.
Truly so.
Thank you
Indeed
Great music to unwind and forget about shit that ain’t worth remembering anyway.
Damn right about that brother. . .
Good way to put it.
AMEN to that brother!
forget about shit that ain’t worth remembering anyway. I will remember this forever.
I'm from Brazil and listening dark soul blues also helps me to forget for a moment the dark times we're living in ... Lost my father and today my uncle to covid. God Bless Them and all y'all .
Sorry for the losses of your family. May they RIP. I cannot imagine. JJ's music seems to pull so many emotions from the soul. Peace.
Sinto muito guerreiro, q Deus traga conforto para o seu coração.
So sorry for your losses. God Bless.
Всё будет хорошо Бро! All people this canel to support you! I,m from Rasha.
I am really sorry my friend... R.I.P for them from Austria
Every evening I go to bed and I can no longer concentrate on reading because your music makes me vibrate so much
Wow!! ...Never seen anyone play gutar quite so well as JUSTIN JOHNSON!! And I've seen or listened to about ALL BLUES , & ROCK GUITARISTS . This guy is OUTRAGEOUS/ INCREDIBLE!!!!😎
Ahhhhhhh dude ... No words ... Just a laid back smile the whole world is jealous of. Thank you for sharing your gift with us mere mortals.
So fine...Canadian whiskey and Justin pn the porch chilling on a warm night on Taos NM. Don't get better. Thanks Justin have all your downloads!

Thank you, Justin. Your music is a much needed escape from a world that is rapidly becoming a place I'm not at home in.
Not at home on planet anymore.
His music does reach the hurts
Isolation eases
Makes two of us. There's just something magical about this music that transcends earthly troubles, if only for a little while, eh?
@@MaskedRiderChris Well said!
@@axeslinger61 I'm there with you in that this place is a bad place to be right now in general for a variety of reasons, most all of which stem from human nature.
@@MaskedRiderChris human nature is no more deplorable than any time in the past. We are in a global informational state receiving bad news from every corner of the globe instead of only in our own back yard as in days past. Our lives (good or bad) are what we make of it whether it's as individuals or as a global family.
In a world with sooo many speed-obsessed 'virtuosos' out there, it's such a pleasure to appreciate an artist taking their time and bringing their skills to such clean, focused, thoughtful pieces like this. I could listen all day T_T
I'm 55 and I've been playing 30yrs now, love the blues 💙 and this dude here got me rethinking my skills❤
A couple fingers of bourbon, a fine cigar, and this set. Makes for a perfect Friday night.
Well it's Friday the 1st and you're reading my mind on the bourbon, Woodruff Reserve Double Oak, and a short run Honduran.
You know it!
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Amen brother, great idea...
A couple fingers of a great red wine from Portugal.
I may not be able to stop bullets with my chest like Superman... but I will NEVER overdose on the sweet and sometimes haunting music... of Justin Johnson! 🐺
I have never wanted to eat sound before. Until now. So friggin creamy, Silky, sweet smooth. 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
lying in my room on my 37th birthday thinking listening to this magic makes me feel that my psycological struggles (ptsd and everthing in between)are part of my experience and even at my lowest points i have gained the most vluable lessons. I just want to be - nothing else as im grateful to be here - this humbles and helps me cope, Thank you for your gift -so soothing.
Vet?
No, ive had a rough life due to where ive came up - been stabbed in the face at my front door and had a bit of violent life - just one of many situations where its became life altering and ive struggled with mental health problems scince i was a teenager. and a few head injuries also - my gradfather and his dad were both miners and soldiers. I have the utmost respect for veterans. Yet ive been through my fair share of things as a civilian that i would have rather not experienced. @@emilie1977

Whish my grandfather had lived long enough to see all the musicians who played the same instruments he did. He played the resonator guitar and a pedal dual neck steel guitar all his life. He played Blues and Bluegrass mostly, had pictures from when he played as a backup at the Grand Ole Opry where he met my grandmother. He passed years ago from Alzheimer's, but one of the things in the later stages that could bring him back for a spell was sitting him down and putting that steel guitar in front of him. He would start feeling it, pressing the pedals...then slowly start to play. It was always amazing how the music woke him up so to say. That and him cursing (he was a Navy vet) at his fingers for not "fu#$%ng listening to him" while he played and talked. Your talent is amazing Justin, you have gotten a new subscriber, keep the videos and music coming!
He doesn't need to sing when he makes his guitar sing that well.
Makes suicide so much esier.
very good my brother, take a look at my channel, recorded a solo too, I am grateful for the support and strength. we're together

So, I'm a 90s kid with a very diverse musical taste. I grew up on 80s music and became a metalhead over the years. These days I still prefer metal but can listen to most genres but blues, music like this? This hits me Right in the soul.
I call it swamp music… love it
Pouring rain, distant thunder, stuck in the office no one around, left the lights out with just my desk lamp on, a little island of soft glow at my desk, this mix drifting through the empty space... Not too bad for a workday if ya ask me!
My soul is in agony at the moment, awful pain, this is the first thing I’ve seen that has warmed my frozen broken heart… im a bass player and music is everything to me… this made me want to keep trying with life and the world… I was done… thank you

When every day brings a new disaster or bout of anxiety, Justin is my balm for the soul.
Jesus should be. Not Justin.
Ive been a "metalhead" for over 30 years and this is the most .."haunting".. stuff ive ever heard.. Love it!🤘🍺
Metalhead since '86 and agree! 🤘🤘
Try Sleep Terror's new album, it has metal, and has some resonator guitar licks, maybe you will like it too
YES! 👊
Good Delta blues will always sound haunting🤘
This is some of most metal music I’ve heard in a long time
I just can't grasp how great of a song Son of a Witch is ... It's the reason I started learning to play guitar ...
awesome! 🤘
I miss you too much I guess
My river and storm
Some of us sold our souls. Some of us survived. Your music speaks volumes.

Right after sex with someone you're completely comfortable with
I really love it. It feels like the story of my life. Nostalgia for some fantasy that never existed.
Fantastic blues guitarist, best I've heard in a very long time, and I'm almost 70, been down into Clarksville Miss to a club called Ground Zero, and didn't hear anyone near as good as you there.
Agreed. Been there also ( Clarksdale, the crossroads, and Ground Zero [partly owned by Morgan Freeman] ). I went with a friend (Anthony Gomes) who right this minute has the #1 blues album on the Billboard charts. While that was nice, I have to say that JJ is cream of the slide-blues crop!
There are so few people left that are still playing this Delta Slide blues music. Keep up the good work before it's gone completely!
Open minor , cross note, Devils tuning
If I was stuck on a desert island this album just rose to the top of my list. An hour of my life was just well spent.
I have come to the conclusion as I'm learning more about Justin and his playing he is one of the last true Mystics to grace this earth. I can only wish you all the peace you bring us 3 fold. Thank you Justin for sharing your soul through your music. 👍👍
The peace I feel from
This mix is out of this world…for the past few months Ive been using a very powerful narcotic..thank you for the opportunity to put the drugs down While I listen to you play…I feel a true peace, happy…not like the fake happiness and peace I get from drugs..
Make a mental point to stay off them through the hardest time. Been there, that's the only way to go. Otherwise, you are risking relapsing when the time gets harder. Purposefully stay off them through the "as bad as it gets" part. Literally brute force through it using sheer willpower. Remember that once you are through it, nothing can make you go back, and you are free. You can do it. Good luck on your journey, it's worth it on the other side.
the fact that 99% of your content is written by you is amazing to me. you made me love blues
I just started learning the guitar myself at the ripe old age of 50 and when I get bored of playing an awful rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and want to slam the guitar down, I watch your channel and pick up the guitar again and think, damn it, I want to play like that! So thank you for the inspiration!
Keep at it sandra !
Sames. Just another Gen Xer trying to master Amazing Grace and keep,learning. Cause Why TF Not?
If you've put it down in the last 2 months... here's your sign to go pick it back up again! The learning curve is steep, especially as you get older, but it's not impossible and it's SO rewarding. My oldest student was 68, and she was awesome! Stick to it! You got this!
Sandra, don't play those stupid songs in the Mel Bay books, that is what is driving you to distraction. Go to the piano and tune to DADGAD. The lowest 3 strings can slide down together. You can just slide and drop in harmonics here and there...oh yes you can. Play with the lights off, just what ever sounds good. It will all fall into place. Also, to learn to finger pick, start with some John Prine songs and run your fingers slowly first the pick up the actual correct timing. Go for it! I am 62 and had a heart attack and triple by-pass, stroke and a broken shoulder and arm. I still play but it hurts like hell in my arms but I still do it. We all played till our fingers bled.
Don't give up, I learned guitar at 15 all completely self taught, within a couple or few short years I was playing covers of some of my favorite bands and videogame composers.
18 years later I've been slacking hard for the last handful of years after some friends I jammed with moved away or had kids, but after finding this dark blues by JJ it's inspiring me to pick up my axe again. 👍
It's never too late to start. The best advice I can give you is to stick with it, because as you improve it becomes far more enjoyable, which leads to even further motivation.
In my 70s. Sooooo relaxing. Many many memories
I bought Biscuit House several weeks ago one for me one for my Grandaughter. Just played it , it was excellent . Love love it. I am 74 and my granddaughter is 21. Your music is for all ages.
It's like he only touches the strings for barely a moment. He just tenderly caresses the sounds from his instrument. Just barely enough to get the strings to cry
Listening to this while dozing off in an old monastary tucked away in the woods. Windows are open, I'm smelling the rain. Haven't felt this relaxed in a while 🙌🏼♥️
Ayo, leave your telephone away and go meditate and contemplate your life.
Cool, what is a monetary ?
@@hanslul6975 I'm guessing a typo for monastery.
@@thomasowens5824 A bank. Or, just maybe ,he meant monastery.
@@TeaParty1776 sarcasm my boy.
New favorite bookmark.
Every morning I turn on this video and work at tabaco shop
Thx, the vibe is amazing!
There is a beauty that I cannot describe in your videos.
Your environment, your guitar covers, your style, everything is perfect..
This is the esoterica of the Magic within this particular Soul!! The music is the frequency of Peace with Harmonies I and many others are resonating so GRATEFULLY with!!!🪶🦋💫
@@rebeccaavey3342 you crystallized my thoughts quite eloquently. Years ago an old heroin addict said that he admired the veins in my arms. I'm wishing I had Justin's fingers; they gotta be about 73.7% longer than mine. I could use a little of his talent and maybe a bit of his hair, too. I love that Roy Orbison hangs out there
@@davideo1954 Get a 1/2 guitar and play to your heart's content, mate.
this is literally everything i've ever wanted musically
I say no, it's a dark avenue, a trail in a forest, hurricane survivors winning the night...but a PLACE, where victory may have sorrow, sweet hope, cultural pride, and many, many other things!
@@garychandler4296 Music is subjective.
Hello from Russia. Красиво играешь, многозвучно, сложно. Нашёл твои выступления случайно, и послушав, сразу подписался, не жалею.
Pretty sure this music wasn't posted for it's therapeutic benefits but thats why I'm using it.
These Blues happen to be a mighty salve in the wake of a recent car crash. Gratitude!
If I could play half as good as this man I would still be a master.
So he's a legend then?
After 20 years fumbling around on a guitar, you realize that some people just have a gift that no amount of practice makes up for.
@@Nico_Conradie maybe you're not practicing correctly, there's a right and wrong way to practice surprisingly
So pick up a guitar and begin.
@@Nico_Conradie yes. Some people just have some kind of magic in them.
This music gives me hope during these dark, depressing wars of one kind or another.
For YOU... the person who is reading this comment I wish you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, love, and prosperity! All is well! The Universe is providing! You are safe in this benevolent Universe!
Thank you! I needed to hear this today🙏
Right back at ya
Fuckin' A
Thank you . Realy. For the kind words. And you as well
I tip my hat off to you Justin Johnson 🫡
Haha, I just smoked half a doob, started listening to this, and went 20 minutes before realizing this was an album and not a single.
Pleasant surprise 😏
That's the best and no better music to do it to
I'm assuming doob is paka.....& had with a smooth single malt & this music becomes more than perfection
🤔what's a word for BETTER than perfection I wonder?
Finish that doob and listen to the rest!
I noticed that, after 2:30 and your comment. But, it might have taken longer if I was a pot user. By the way, Ry Cooder has always been a favorite slide-guitar player of mine, but this playing by Justin rivals his playing in every respect. Great musicianship there!
You are one of the most creative musician out there. I play guitar, tenor sax, flute and bass for over 45 yrs, and I'm completely blown away with your work. In these times of civilization collapse, you bring me some relief and wipe away my fears. You're living proof we are God's Creation and we all meet again up there. THANK YOU Justin, THANK YOU!
If you like listening to blues, JJ is one of the best!
All of my favorite tracks on this full moon
This is perfect. Sitting on the porch listening to Justin’s beautiful guitar playing and the peepers in the swamp...because that’s where I’m from. No matter where you’re from, from Nepal to New York, Australia to Alabama, this music moves people. That’s why it’s timeless and gorgeous. And 100k people aren’t wrong! (Congrats Justin!!)
On my porch staring at the West Virginia mountains hearing this for the first time. Amazing. Always looking for good music and this is exactly what I didn't know I needed right now .
Alabama girl here, and I LOVE his music!!
Timeless. I'm from Northern Wisconsin. We're all too drunk to play music of this quality, but we can damn appreciate it.
South Georgia tuned in, and this is exactly what I needed. Sipping a cold one, swatting mosquitoes and jamming out them dark blues. Because when I jam out so do my neighbors.
European city dweller here, sitting in my back yard at 1 am with a glass of good scotch contemplating. Greetings to you guys.
Twenty five years earlier, you would have put a smile on my parents faces, with your blues.
such clean notes . This guy takes the Guitar for a walk and its doing what its told
Hi,Iam from Germany.Justin play "a good old dirty Blues." It is great!!! And I 'am Country Fan.
I'm speechless... I've been noodling around on and off on a base guitar, never amounting to anything much over the years. After listening to this recording and letting it settle for the night, I just grabbed my ole' base and started composing, something I haven't done in years. Somehow, notes just seemed to flow out of me, forming a natural pattern. It just felt right, I haven't felt like this in a very long time and I can't say 'THANK YOU' enough!
It’s bass lol
@@cannedbread3125 You're right 🙈
Nother bassist here. Been playing for years but I go through long stages of lacking inspiration. With musicianship like this it connects you with music itself and you become part of the circuit again.
@@restojon1 Well said! That's exactly how it feels!
Hey I have no skill but just learned the difference between my $300 Denver Acoustic Bass and my Fretless $300 Acoustic Bass Ukulele. What a beautiful player. I will learn more here.
This came up randomly on my feed. I'm a classic rock fan, but have always loved the blues too. I'd never heard you before, but wow, you have won me over. Amazing soulful pure art.
Classic Rock originated from the Blues.
Don't stop now! Treat yourself to some of Justin's other videos and listen to some of the most profound blues (and skillful) guitar playing you could ever imagine. Music for the soul.
I get chills when other people like the new music they've found. Best feeling ever
@@JohnMoore-xf5wy That's got to be the reason those two are my favourite music genres.
Indeed
I keep trying to walk away to go do something else, but I can't take my ears and eyes off this, very mesmerizing
Lately I've been really struggling to concentrate, listening to this brought me such calm I was able to focus again🤠
Me too
same! ^_^
Im speechless......... im a guitarist, loved the blues since i could walk, but this is on another level - the light and shade, the feeling and emotion behind this resonates with me, around me, around my surroundings - just blown away. Awesome stuff JJ.
Its a damned shame that Roy Buchanan, Mike Bloomfield, Johnny Winter and Jimi Hendrix couldnt hear this.
Peter Green!
And still alive and well, Clapton and Beck.

@@teritero XOXOXOXOX
I love Justin ,...hes not only a great guitarist hes the only one who ever replied to one of my comments....he simply is a great human guitarist...in deep respect for J.J.
I can’t explain how much I love your music. So expressive.
Thanks so much Stephen, I really appreciate that!
I Just have a great breakfast with my Kids here in Costa Rica listening this great piece. Greetings
I know of no one else who grabs sunshine from a storm the way Justin does. He must be in touch with his soul and music is the language he finds
I am convinced this mad has achieved nirvana
I feel a connection to his music as if I am simultaneously experiencing it in a past life and my present life.
Wishing everyone who likes this comment will receive good luck and health and have a great day of work and study
76 years old and this is the best blues ever Justin you have paid your dues and are a master at your trade
His music moves my soul and relaxes the stress away. I so feel his music. What a. Absolutely amazing gift he has.
This is from a deep place. 9ther Music followed in the path it laid for and thru music. The Great Migration !
Yes, its so magical it transcends me to another place that isnt physical.
Its from relentless dedication and countless hours of playing/practicing.
Wowie Zowie!! From this 65 yr old Hungarian girl living in Melbourne town Oz. Just absolutely exquisitely stunning!! Deep heartfelt Gratitude ~ for this is exactly ' What' is happening
Trust ~ have faith ~ there is so so much both within & around us that is well over 100 years advanced!!
Sometimes we all need to get swept away by the darkness. Makes one appreciate the light even more.
