You know your something if you have howlin wolf being your hype man.
clips like this make youtube the best thing in the net
absolutely true. this is where the value is
Chester Burnett showing so much respect, its beautiful to see these men.
Howling Wolf listening to Bukka White.....
What a stunning bit of footage.
I fricken love bukka
How-how-how Howlin Wolf
That raspy voice is like honey stirred in hot tea
Tommy Petraglia ...........with added lemon!
This is awesome!! Thank God for Alan Lomax! He was really able to preserve a lot of important music history!!
I'm glad to see everybody else's as overwhelmed by this as I am.
i been listening to this in loop for hours. never listened to anything quite like this. i don't know how to describe it but im absolutely hooked. i do not remember to ever put a song in repeat for hours. i feel ive been waiting for this. this is so beautiful to me in so many levels
Glad you love this. If you're new to the genre I higlly recommand Charley Patton and the early recordings of John Lee hooker (from 1953 iirc)
This is really priceless...Wolf tries to follow a few chords...then realizes no chance,,,just better to watch and listen...Bukka can can do do this for hours,,,one of the very greats
Wolf may not have realized Booker was tuned to ''Open G''.
Incredible footage! Feels like I'm sitting in the room with them, just watching these legends play.
Bukka was a great guy and he came to Seattle many times to do concerts. It's great seeing these greats together and having a good time.
I mean I don't think he was exactly a good guy behind closed doors if you actually listen to what he talks about in his music and hear about the crime he has done, but nevertheless I think of him like a outlaw guitarist from back in the day, he's phenomenal
This gives me chills in a good way :)
Man when howling tries to copy Bukka , see in his face he is amazed at the sound but gives up trying to replicate , you see him watching bukka on the high notes saying no no yes ... Brilliant!
This video made me happy…seeing two of my favorite artists in a homemade type video
In the howlin wolf documentary everyone was saying how rare and awesome this was.. it was a throwback to the juke joints days from the early 30s
Kilby Snow joinin in!!!!!!!!
A real gem- two greats in an impromptu jam session! Great stuff and to have caught it on film too! Cheers P[>
SO Good all 5 of them
Old time... Good time.. This is the blues.. I am white man... My soul is black... Jimi 56 Verona Italy 🇮🇹🌈🇺🇸
I am purple antelope... My soul is gold. We all feel the blues and we express it in different ways. I love this genre amongs many other
Piece of gold ... this is pure and honest music ❤️
JAW DROPPING STUFF: I feel like I just watched Jesus and Buddha shake hands or something. Can it get any more astounding - Wolf backing on a 12 string???
MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE - PLEEEEEEASE
Too much Soul in this Video!! History
Oh my. Thank you for sharing. What a treat.
This is just as valuable as any sunken treasure, unearthed fossil or discovered Egyptian pharoah's tomb. Thank God for CZcams & bless the powers that created it.

Thank you for sharing
Bukka makes it look easy but my hero is the master HOWLIN WOLF. Real treat thanks
Skip James is mine...
... Blind Willie McTell has entered the chat.
They were all amazing
Howling my #1 but Booker and Blind Willie Johnson are right there for me.

Elmore James, Lightnin' Hopkins & the unsung great
Junior Kimbrough. 🔥
Excellent!!!
The Wolf got good by learning from guys like Bukka
One of heroes was son house! But later son became a heavy drunk and the wolf didn't like what he became and told son house in one of his performances to his face.
@@ninjavigilante5311 Wolf's idol was Charlie Patton, that's a whole universe of sound.
Love how his foot his tapping at half the tempo speed of his guitar playing
Só os gênios do blues
I saw Bukka once, but I was too green to appreciate what I was seeing. Never saw Wolf. Many missed opportunities, but anyway, thanks for the great upload. If I'm not mistaken, Kilby is playing the back side of his autoharp like a woodblock. No strings or chord bars in sight, and anyway it's hard to see how autoharp could have accompanied Bukka even in a master's hands.
Here’s your pandemic homework: try to sound like Bukka White
Been trying to sound like him & Howlin Wolf , now i sound like Kermit the frog....😩
Here’s my approach: I try to sound like Bukka’s cousin - BB King, then sound like Bukka. 😂BTW, I can sound like Bukka, but Howlin Woulf is so much tougher.
Kudos to anyone else who spotted Kilby Snow. Bukka is probably in D (E) minor
Rev Pearly Brown
Notice Howlin Wolf is armed with a 12 string!
thank you..what a great save
This is great stuff
Genios!!!
Grand dude couple
Ken oath bruz, this is excellent.
“World boogie is coming!” Jim Dickinson 🤠
👍
@ivery5000 👠👠 This is what a Patriot looks like RIP 💐💐💐💐💐💐
+100!
😮❤
So who's the woman sitting on the end? B.B. King said he developed his guitar style because he couldn't play like Bukka.
Thank you - we forgot to include Christine Brown, Pearly's wife.
That's a lot of voice for one room.
Bukka White is the Great B.B King's cousin!
That's not an "autoharp", it's a metal-bodied Nation guitar with internal resonator cone. ( whoops, viewing this on a phone, I had to look carefully and watch twice to see the guy with the autoharp, he's somewhat obscured by Bukka).
Wolf with a 12~string!
this music is completely incomprehensible to me. i can't understand the lyrics, nor the rhyme structure, and i can't seem to understand why is so hypnotizing and feels so good to listen. i just get lost in the sound and end up completely sucked. i would kill for a transcript of this video
Seems we are on the same wavelength when it comes these blues.
Played Bukka his Guitar in Standard-Tuning?
Don't think so - pretty sure he's playing in open D or E here (Vestapol tuning)
Thanks!!
Crossnote tuning DADFAD
I've read in a number of places that he tuned his guitar to an open E minor chord shape; I haven't checked but I suspexct that he tuned it lower - to D minor.
newport folk festival is like 45 miles from me. holy fucking shit.
I thought Bukka was sitting on the cowboy's lap.
Howlin Wolf gotta 12string there , we just don't here that cos the other guy takin up all the space , that's a shame .
God is Black and plays guitar
I love Roots Reggae, Nyahbingi, and the Blues. I have to agree with you.
Wish that guy in the back would have stopped “keeping time” on whatever he was banging on. Amazing vid, thank you.
I thought he was great and it's clear Bukka like it or he would have told him to stop, are you ignorant, that's what folk music is all about. I believe this was filmed at the house in Newport where the musicians stayed during the Folk Festival. Bukka was backed by Washboard Sam on many of his 1930's recordings and Bukka asked me once whatever happened to him, of course I had no idea, he apparently just disappeared. Bukka had a sweet inner child, his nose was broken in a prize fight in Indiana during the Depression. As everyone knows, Booker T. Washington White was BB King's older cousin and helped BB get his start in music in Memphis.
"That guy" was Kilby Snow, an enormously respected Appalachian musician who performed at the festival. And that "whatever" is an autoharp turned over backwards. It was a party not a stage concert, so let folks get happy.
Pfff That guy is kilby snow probably the best auto harp player to ever have lived .. read up on him and don’t judge much if you don’t know
Awesome footage, But what in the Holy F is the old white guy doing?? Playing cardboard??
Autoharp master Kilby Snow
Sounds ok to me
confidence ignorance
Basically the drums
