I saw CW win over a completely hostile crowd at the Gympie Muster a few years back. The crowd was so antagonistic my band (waiting back stage) were getting ready to get festival security involved. CeeDub didn't bat an eyelid; just keep at 'em until they shut the hell up and listened. His performance was heroic in some senses; certainly brave and for me and my band ... inspiring. I still get goosebumps thinking about what I witnessed. Sensational!
He studie majik frum days of old. If i weren't already soo taken with him, this casting of a hook would set the spell neatly. From firmament to fall, kept completely, enraptured by stone king, the web he weaves through sung word and string. Thank you, kindly, for sharing your passing tale. Does he record through old equipment to get that sound, if you happen to know? I always wanted to try that, and; upon his recent discovery, by me, i see he saw sound that way, beat me too it, by at least two years, and a day.
I first heard this guy in the pilot episode of Over The Garden Wall and thought he was a 60-something black man from Louisiana. Imagine my surprise when I found out he was a 30-something white guy from Australia.
For anybody that as douting about the fact that this man is for real , sat around the table met him in person yesterday ,and there is much more then a gutfeeling about this man ,just listening to his music ,the serenity that surrounds him , When he was talking at the gig there was 1400 people and you could hear a pin drop..... I can only say ...this man is for real. Mister CW you got a believer.
A case of reincarnation and past life. The guy must have lived in the 20/30 es and came back with unfinish business. Full awards for doing this and going their own ways and full score for making this retro style sound cool for a young generation today.
Saw this bloke play to about 8 people about 5 years ago at the Curry's Family Hotel in Collingwood on a Sunday night. Unforgettable show that night and it's great to see he's kicking goals. Both his cd's are are an experience!
All these comments saying he's like this person and that person, I'm just thinking, its c w stone king incomparable legend with his own amazing distinct style.

Not to take away from how great this sound as and this band us, but if you like it, check out Tom Waits. He was doing (some may even say appropriating) this 30+ years ago.
I bought my first cd of his just after christmas 2014. I chose it because the cover really drew me in... bluesy, southern, voodooesc etc... and here i am today looking for more of his music. as soon as i read the comments i went into the other room and told my partner he was also from australia (like us).. If you see this mr stoneking, thank you
I cant believe Ive not heard of this him before a week ago. He is one of the most unique sounding artists Ive heard in a long time. yah sure he lives within musical stylings from many olden decades,but he takes them and blends them and makes unique,complex, precision songs and I like how he uses theatrics and sound effects also to build a more deeper, imagination immersive story.
TUBA = AWESOME!!! I love it!!! I have learned a lot listtening this guy!!! He has a lot of personality!! Sometimes I try copy some of his style when I am playing!! Saludos desde España!!
Wow! Just WOW! I see he is performing at the Corner Hotel In Richmond, Melbourne next month - seen many great artists and bands there; nice to see it's still going. If I was still living in Melbourne I would be down there like a shot!
The most piiiefect wobbly line I ever seen!! :D My feelings exactly when I listen to this entire album!! Hmmm lil' bitta Leadbelly,Johnson and also much Imagery from Conrad's 'Heart of darkness'...Amazing what real artistry can do isn't it? Awesome! :)

Awesome clip C W! Saw you at the Powerhouse last year with the Primitive Horn Orchestra and you guys rocked! Can't wait for you to come back to Brisbane!
... actually, if you listen to SNZ's "Hell" and CW Stoneking's "The love me or die", the melody is quite similar. I often find myself singing the lyrics of one with the music of the other and viceversa.... and then I need to listen to Tom Waits' "Little drop of poison". And this one (Jungle blues) needs to be listened next to SNZ's "Ghost of Stephen Foster". These artists just go great together!

@@Scp716creativecommons look up cw stoneking rig rundown
Bill Burr has a great blues voice
🤣🤣🤣true
Right?!? Especially that thumbnail pic always made me think of him... Burr and Stoneking are the best!
he looks so much like him
I first heard this guy in the pilot episode of Over The Garden Wall and thought he was a 60-something black man from Louisiana. Imagine my surprise when I found out he was a 30-something white guy from Australia.
lol
A long history of great blues down here. Seek & your ears will be blessed.
lol
Found CW through Doug Stanhope.
Sameeeee lmao

Mister CW you got a believer.
Everything about this is brilliant. Love the acting, staging, costumes and of course the music. Great concept. Hi Steve & James. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤
Amazing music. Who would ever have thought this would come out of Australia in the 21st Centaury.
Theres much talent in so many genres coming outta Aussiland now
Lol is that how centaurs measure time? 😅

Happy Birthday C.W. Stoneking. Hope to see you back in Europe at some point.
How good are these guys, str8 out of the 20's, 1920's that is. Love the theatrics, keep 'em coming fellas.
All these comments saying he's like this person and that person, I'm just thinking, its c w stone king incomparable legend with his own amazing distinct style.
It is great, done with humor and talent
one of the most fascinating blues sounds i've ever heard! this guy's simply ingenious!!!
A man with good taste in the year of our lord 2018?
Incredible!
The best Australian act in many years.
Love your work CW
Gosh this never gets old
I love original classic jazz from the 20ths. This is a modern way of playing in the same idiom.
He just might be a mad genius.
Yeah ill go with that
@@alancanham2956 ne yazdigini anlamiyorum ama 5 yil once yorum yapan birine cevap yazmissin ya o erken yazmis yada sen gec kalmissin yada sadece yalnizsindir
Yeah but a genius anyway !
@@billycorgan51 I think he's kind of in control, or management, of that kind of thing
Never thought that a drunk voice and an old fashioned song would be so moving... I'm still astonished and speechless
HOW does he even EXIST?! Absolutely astonishing

Absolutely brilliant!! A touch of genius, methinks.
Unbelievably great music-WOW!...Nice to see that other musicians that have been inspired by this music.
i bumped in this while youtubing randomly. so many hours of happiness to come discovering the whole thing!
great, really great to know this music has found its way back to our times thanks to C.W.

Same happened to me, so far, I'm liking absolutely everything he does. Great find!
like a new drug ... takes you up, down, sideways, backward, and forward in time...but makes you feel real good...
Such great music!
Saw CW at Bluesfest. He killed it.
i love C.W Stoneking, saw him live for the 1st time the other night myself, was a GREAT show!!!

What a voice
Great song I use it in my all blue “Blues Burlesque Act” 💙💙💙
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
...in the ocean,
Wishin & a hoping....
amazing
Tom Waits influence for sure, but also Screamin' Jay Hawkins (check out "I put a spell on you," "Little Demon" or "I love Paris.")
scrolled through about 300 comments to finally see one person say this - what is old becomes new again
I did a boxing class with CW a few years back he can hold em up
Squirrel Nut Zippers also are a good complement to this.
... actually, if you listen to SNZ's "Hell" and CW Stoneking's "The love me or die", the melody is quite similar. I often find myself singing the lyrics of one with the music of the other and viceversa.... and then I need to listen to Tom Waits' "Little drop of poison".
And this one (Jungle blues) needs to be listened next to SNZ's "Ghost of Stephen Foster".
These artists just go great together!
very good!
Wow!
