Joe Bonamassa - High Water Everywhere

This is a live performance by guitarist Joe Bonamassa playing the classic blues song "High Water Everywhere" live. The performance is from the North Sea Jazz Festival.
The song was originally written by blues singer Charley Patton. The theme of the song is the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 which devastated Louisiana. Bob Dylan paid tribute to the song on his 2001 album "Love and Theft" with the song "High Water (For Charley Patton).
The song was initially released by Bonamassa on his 2006 album "You & Me". It is in fact the opening track for that album. Bonamssa has had the number in his live repertoire for quite some time and a live version appeared on the DVD of his concert at The Royal Albert Hall released in 2009.
It's a great song, and Bonamassa does a great job of playing it live.

Enjoy ; )

Eric Clapton - Motherless Child

This is a live performance video for Clapton's single from his 1994 album "From the Cradle". It's a traditional up beat blues song that was first popularized by Barbecue Bob (click here for Bob's version) in 1927, so yet again Clapton goes back on the musical time line. Bob's version is a little slower than Clapton's cover, but other than that it's pretty much the same song.
It's a nice and cheerful song.

Enjoy ; )
