Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram - 662 (Official Video)

The official video for Christone "Kingfish" Ingram's "662" the title track from the 2021 Grammy Award winning album of the same name.

The number 662 references Ingram's hometown telephone area code, and of the album Ingram says, "662 is an ode to my roots, a nod to the area where I was born and raised. The title track, 662, encompasses how a small corner of the earth influenced my view of life and music. It also points to the growth I have had since my debut album. As much as I have been fortunate to get 'Outside Of This Town' (the title of his breakout single from his 2019 Grammy-nominated debut album, Kingfish), I do want people to know that the '662' will always be a major part of who I am."

LYRICS:
I COME FROM A RIVER TOWN
TALK ABOUT NOTHING TO DO
SKEETERS COME OUT WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
GETS AWFUL STICKY, TOO

THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA
THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE BLUES
I WAS BORN RIGHT HERE IN THE 662

LOTS A PEOPLE GET UP EARLY
LOTS OF PEOPLE GETTING HIGH
THEY GOT A CHURCH ON EVERY CORNER
IF YOU’RE SEARCHING FOR THE BYE AND BYE

THERES A SOUND OOZING FROM THE GROUND
AND IT CUTS RIGHT THROUGH
YOU CAN ONLY FIND IT
DOWN HERE IN THE 662

MY DADDY WORKED AT COOPER TIRE
MY MAMA WAS RAISED IN THE HILLS
MY BROTHER MOVED OFF TO BALTIMORE
AND I’M LEFT HERE PAYING THESE BILLS

THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA
THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE BLUES
I WAS BORN SMACK DAB IN THE 662
I’M STILL KICKING THESE BLUES DOWN IN THE 662

This guy's so old school, I suspect he has access to a time-machine. He's the Real Thing.
So soulful. Just beautiful playing, man.

Best pure rock and roll/blues song I have heard in years...and I am in my 60’s. Terrific guitar playing, Kingfish!

I just love Kingfish. Great tone, killer chops, lots of soul. He sounds like he should be 45 years old instead of 22 or 23. Phenomenal player.
