I’m 80 years old, play a little guitar, read music and know some music theory. These people bring tears to my eyes. There ain’t no frets on a violin folks.

The thing about these YouTube rabbit holes that I can't get over is how many smoking hot bands are out there. Brilliant!

Very time I play this song , for some reason my arm hair stands straight up.This is one of my favorite songs in my 65 yrs . THE YOUNG man on guitar is amazing.

This is the first time I've ever heard the Otis Taylor band, and all I can say is that they put on one hell of a show

[UKHardDrive]

Otis' guitar rift at 1:35, 1:45 & 2:17 magical. Then the young solo guitarist, intoxicating. The violinist then kills it followed by Otis' mesmerising guitar solo. Fabulous. 🎸❤️👍

[benkkonzsella]

Trouble with this version is I can't stop playing it, can't get enough volume on my system, kick ass music 🎶 by a brilliant band 😂

Just when you think music has moved to the point where nothing will ever light your fire again along comes something like this; rock solid rhythm section and three spectacular individual performers - pure magic, I’m so glad I found it.

I was blessed to see them in person. Totally incredible/ crowd pleasers. approachable after the show. A legend in my opinion.
