Kzma28 He just released a new CD with this song and 3 other covers: Do You Wanna Know, Problem/Regulate, and Whole Lotta Love m.target.com/p/hozier-hozier-deluxe-target-exclusive/-/A-21444935#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=hozier
Janet Weir OMG went to Target Stores today and bought his NEW deluxe album with 4 covers including a LIVE audience version of Illinois Blues, Ariana Grande/Warren G Problem/Regulate; Arctic Monkeys Do You Wanna Know, and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love! Its amazing!
Hozier showing some Avant-garde right hand techniques. Skip was a player of the Piedmont Blues, which was done with the Thumb and Pointer finger exclusively. Hozier playing Claw style position but not using his pointer finger, very strange
It's probably because each of his fingers is as long as rulers! He had to fit the fingers in there somewhere. ;) But sitting here moving my own fingers it does seem more natural to not force the pointer down to the strings. The middle one seems to descend more easily than the pointer finger.
The first time I ever heard Hozier, I thought I heard some Skip James influence in his guitar playing...and here he is playing a Skip James cover! I can't believe it! Also some of his song-writing reminds me of Skip James, the lyrics. I can see him in his attic bedroom at his parent's house listening to Skip James.
FINALLY. THANKYOU. . WATCHING. THE. WAY. HE. PLAYS. THAT. INSTRUMENT. . AS. A. GUITARIST. HE. IS. A. PHENOMENON. AS. A. SINGER. A. FORCE. OF. NATURE HEY. SERENDIPITY. . A. CUTE. FREIND. PUT. HOZIER. ON. PLAYLIST. . GLAD. I. HAD. A. SNEAKY. PEAK. . AS. DISSABILITY. EXCLUDES. A. REAL. GIG. . . THSNKS. ELLE AY. HHE.
I just love every song he sings. I can't get enough of Hozier. I hope he comes to NC so I can see him! I would just die if he did! I also love looking at him, he is so fine & I love his man-bun!
Okay, this video is freaking me out. I just fell in love with Hozier last weekend when I heard his album all the way through for the first time. I couldn't stop listening, I bought his cd and tickets to see him in Portland next month. Today I was just thinking how much he reminds me of Jeff Buckley, and how sad and sudden his ending was. Hozier, sweetie, if you read this, please stay away from the fucking water, especially with your boots on. Jeff would probably still be here if he had just taken his boots off. I need to see you in a few weeks, and you're making me nervous here.
Lieven Cardoen I'm trying to find the reason why I liked him, now I know, yes there are a lot of similarities between him and Jeff, I like them both :D
Fantastic blues guitar and voice. If I didn't l know who this was and couldn't see his face I would think this was an original black blues singer. I spent many years immersed in those people down south and just want to attest to the greatness of this singer. I'm blown away!
If you go to Banglin' tell all my boys If you go to Banglin' tell all my boys The time I had in Illinois, in Illinois, in Illinois In Illinois, in Illinois You get there before I do You get there before I do Tell my boys I'm comin' too, comin' too,comin' too Tell my boys I'm comin' too Tell my boys I'm comin' too Tell me where'd you stay last night Tell me where'd you stay last night Come home this mornin' the sun was bright Shinin' bright, shinin' bright Come home this mornin' the sun was bright I gin my cotton and sell my seed I gin my cotton and sell my seed Gon' give my baby, everything she needs, everything she needs, everything she needs Gon' give my baby, everything she needs Gon' give my baby, everything she needs Sewed a hole in my pocket so my change won't loose Sewed a hole in my pocket so my change won't loose Gon' buy my baby some Brogan shoes, Brogan shoes, Brogan shoes Gon' buy my baby some Brogan shoes
I don't think I've been so struck by an artist since Kenny Chesney came out when I was a tween. His "live" (I assume unedited) stuff is actually better than the studio stuff. It's all beautiful....but man I love his live recordings. THAT VOICE!!!!!!
Absolutely in love with your music, your covers, your eyes, your presence as you play. I have been raised listening to 60's, 70's and 80's rock. Only in the past 4 years has blues and jazz been a large influence on me as a musician. Van Morrison to John Lee Hooker in blues has incredibly inspired me also. I'm truly a jazz enthusiast I love Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. My voice stylings have always fit better with jazz. Your voice is of an old soul that gives me goosebumps with every new song that I listen to. Have you ever been influences by jazz Andrew Hozier Byrns?
No end to what he can do! I always wonder what the original artist thinks. He must love Hoziers copy, except it's a powerful copy. Some might like Hozier's version ( me).
+Bd951 Yes Hun he actually has and it is AMAZZZING OBVIOUSLYYY lol... Search it i think it was at Newport music festival dont quote me though im not 100% sure on that!!!
I believe it's standard tuning. I've been trying to figure it out for the past half hour. If you have made any progress by yourself please let me know.
alibozeka I also believe he plays it in standard E tuning. Skip James apparently played everything in open D. Alvin Youngblood Hart also plays it in open D. Looks lik Em with alternating G bass note and B7 chord...
its just blues, man... its three chords, the rest is improvisation... if you just learn how to play this excact version, then you didnt actually learn anything at all

Would you take a moment and check out the latest on The Live Collection? It's full of aspiring musicians who work hard to get their music out there and we are looking for as much feedback as we can get from people like you. I hope it isn't a waste of your time and that you enjoy it!
If you think this is good there is something wrong with you. I have heard two covers of this kid and in that time both Screamin Jay Hawkins as Skip James (not fucking Alvin Youngblood Hart) turned around in their graves!!! This hipster kid should really stay away from playing the blues, far far away!!!
please leave, you don't need to hate on him you have your own opinion but you don't need to be so rude. he's amazing and if you don't realize that than just don't listen to him because you obviously don't deserve to.
I "need" to hate on him just as much as you "need" to defend him. If you think I'm being rude for telling it like it is then that's not my problem. Funny thing is that all of a sudden Skip James is mentioned in the title which wasn't there before my comment!
haman0180 have your flawed opinion all you want but your calling someone you don't know "kid" is basically stupid and shows your superior complex for which it means having a discussion with you is senseless and a waste of time
+haman0180 Music, being the all inclusive form of expression as it is, I suppose no artist would "turn over in their grave" for someone experiencing joy in something they were to create. Just my 2c.
An album should be made of Hozier doing amazing covers like this. I would listen to it every day.
Same... not to say his own writing isn't amazing because it is- AMAZING.

Holy crap! Fantastic!! Will have to get that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to imagine all the old school blues singers are looking down smiling saying "Way to go man way to go
Hozier showing some Avant-garde right hand techniques. Skip was a player of the Piedmont Blues, which was done with the Thumb and Pointer finger exclusively. Hozier playing Claw style position but not using his pointer finger, very strange
I'm going to call it Hozier style finger technique since i recently learned he taught himself how to play
Bentonia is similar but not the same correct?
correct, Bentonia is very similar.
It's probably because each of his fingers is as long as rulers! He had to fit the fingers in there somewhere. ;) But sitting here moving my own fingers it does seem more natural to not force the pointer down to the strings. The middle one seems to descend more easily than the pointer finger.
Hozier sound is hauntingly beautiful, it's chills personified..
I am addicted to Hozier!!!
Solid midwestern blues. If I didn't know it was Hozier I'd have guessed some new blues talent out of Chicago.
Singers need to take notes because this lovely man doesn't need auto tune because his voice is so amazing
No one should say because, twice in a sentence, because it sounds dumb.
Hauntingly beautiful voice
Skip James, respect. Hozier, respect.
Takes you right back to the Mississippi Delta....
The first time I ever heard Hozier, I thought I heard some Skip James influence in his guitar playing...and here he is playing a Skip James cover! I can't believe it! Also some of his song-writing reminds me of Skip James, the lyrics.
I can see him in his attic bedroom at his parent's house listening to Skip James.
me too, me too. & this is the most solid skip cover i've ever heard. hozier is otherworldly.
He performed this live in Oakland when i was there. My gosh, he's even better live!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crying at this perfection
I will be watching this over and over til I am a very old lady.
Lorry Onosson me too!
Still watching...it’s now 2019, and Wasteland, Baby! was just released...
four years on, i still am coming back for more. :)
This man could record a fart and it'd probably still be worth listening to for hours
hahha I second that !
haha bang on ,irish and proud
No lies detected, lol.
haha.. so true
What are his fingers made of! I mean, they move like magic!
maybe, just maybe, a little bit of the magic that comprised skip's hands. ❤️

AY. HHE.
I think he practices a lot.
My thoughts exactly...
I just love every song he sings. I can't get enough of Hozier. I hope he comes to NC so I can see him! I would just die if he did! I also love looking at him, he is so fine & I love his man-bun!
+vicki whately He came to NC this past year
He was in NC in like July 2015, He can to Red Hat in Raleigh and I think to Charlotte as well
man-bun is literally a must for him

Well, this is great to read. Saw him Sunday in Brussels. From the first note I heard from him, he reminded me of Jeff Buckley...
Lieven Cardoen I'm trying to find the reason why I liked him, now I know, yes there are a lot of similarities between him and Jeff, I like them both :D
moosehose When he is 27, Hozier should not: 1. Swim in any harbors 2. Do drugs 3. Do drugs
I deeply adore both Jeff and Buckley. I truly believe there is a connection between the two, as well.
+moosehose Wow, I'm a huge Jeff Buckley fan and I really wasn't expecting to see someone talk about him here.
Fantastic blues guitar and voice. If I didn't l know who this was and couldn't see his face I would think this was an original black blues singer. I spent many years immersed in those people down south and just want to attest to the greatness of this singer. I'm blown away!
those fingers!
I could hear him all day

I don't stop listening to this gem !!!! kisses from France !
Sweet Lord! This video is beautiful in every way it can be!
Awesome! Boys got the blues in him!
Perfect voice for blues.Fab
Love it he nailed it
I don't think I've been so struck by an artist since Kenny Chesney came out when I was a tween. His "live" (I assume unedited) stuff is actually better than the studio stuff. It's all beautiful....but man I love his live recordings. THAT VOICE!!!!!!
God yes!!! His live version of shrike itches the scratch in my brain that the studio version can’t quite reach
Beautiful..
what i love about him is at least he writes his own music and stays true to himself and doesnt give a fuck whst people think unlike some artist
Swamp Donkey yep...except that whole album he wrote and recorded of originals...
Swamp Donkey rekt
ik he didn't write it. I was just saying I read the title of the video
Why he has to be so handsome ??? 😍
Love this!
Perfeito,continue sempre assim,de seu fã
Obrigado
This is soo amazing he can really cover anything❤️❤️❤️
Holy moley 😍
love this cover
This is Brilliant Mate!
I've been playing this for years but only just discovered how to sing properly.
You've got a great voice.
Bravo bravo bravooooo!!!!! I'm gonna listen to this a 100 times:)
That was awesome!
love it, love the vids of him performing with Anuna too, this man is absolutely gifted
Absolutely in love with your music, your covers, your eyes, your presence as you play. I have been raised listening to 60's, 70's and 80's rock.

Your voice is of an old soul that gives me goosebumps with every new song that I listen to. Have you ever been influences by jazz Andrew Hozier Byrns?
It’s his eyes for me; like two fathomless middens full of the blues.
Late reply but Hozier is a jazz enthusiast! One of his newer songs, almost (sweet music) references several jazz songs that influenced him
Love this
Andrew és um Gênio 💯💯
This is so beautiful!😘 I hope this isn't weird, but I love how one of his eyelids is lower than the other, it's so unique......I love it.....😍😍
FANTASTIC HOZIER !!!!!! (cover or his own songs ...)
Hope we hear this in NYC
all three artist are masters in my opinion
Solidarity from Chicago
Haha, I'm from Illinois. This title is perfect.
Sobrang pogi! 😍
Exquisite.
very good cover
The sound of water in the background 🫠 I’m done in. Thank you, goodnight.
exellent, love
This was amazing at Red Rocks
No end to what he can do! I always wonder what the original artist thinks. He must love Hoziers copy, except it's a powerful copy. Some might like Hozier's version ( me).
How amazing that just 2-3 years after recording this video he would be playing with the real Alvin Youngblood Hart at Jazz Fest 2015!
Best artist of 2010 plus
I'm crying---
Whoop! Dirty Byrne! Yup,, yup!
Oh baby!
Thank you kidakorea :) I love you 🙋 Grace God 💋
Wow, I didn't really care much for this dude when I heard him, but this mighta made me a fan.
+Gibson Blues yeah I agree
The part when he sings "if you get there before I do, tell my boys I'm coming through" if from the famous song Swing Low, isn't it?
That last chord😮
he doesn even need a recording studio. you cud put his voice out as is!....... oh wait.... he did ...
Can I get a hug from you
I'd love to hear him do a duet with Alvin Youngblood Hart on this song.
+Bd951 Yes Hun he actually has and it is AMAZZZING OBVIOUSLYYY lol... Search it i think it was at Newport music festival dont quote me though im not 100% sure on that!!!
He did! During his Jazz Fest performance. :)
yessss thats it lol
Damn...
Anyone have this tabbed out?? And don't tell me "it's blues and supposed to be original" because I like this version.
Jacob Thomas I wanna learn it but the original doesn’t have as good of riff
✰ Cool C✿ver! ✰...•*¨♡✰
Covers the 1968 version, instead of the original from 1931
do someone here had the lyrics?
just wish we were together my love
Excellent job good cover. What tunings are you using?
I believe it's standard tuning. I've been trying to figure it out for the past half hour. If you have made any progress by yourself please let me know.
alibozeka I also believe he plays it in standard E tuning. Skip James apparently played everything in open D. Alvin Youngblood Hart also plays it in open D. Looks lik Em with alternating G bass note and B7 chord...
Open D Minor
I asked the guy who tunes all the guitars of Hozier (in Club 69 - Studio Brussel), and it''s played in regular tuning (standard). #club69 #stubru
Is he in Illinois in this recording? It looks and sounds like a lake...
Newport Rhode island during folk fest
It's a Skip James song from the 30's kids ....
:)
Sounds like he's saying.."go to benklan"
Where do I find the tabs for this.
+John Brown make som yourself
Just play the video half speed I did it and I learnt it in 2 days
its just blues, man... its three chords, the rest is improvisation... if you just learn how to play this excact version, then you didnt actually learn anything at all
what are the chords good sir?

It's just not the same.

no . . .
