Highway 61 is a Mississippi Fred McDowell song, and MS is playing Mississippi's version. And then Dylan. How insane! I'm a fan of both and had previously pondered the question of the connection between these two. MS has the answer. I just discovered the 1996 MS recording of this a few weeks ago and added this, Spoonful, and two MS Kambara Music to my library, which is heavy on guitar. My first exposure to MS. Outstanding guitar and music insight.
He is one of the true guitar greats of the last century, and has few peers when it comes to acoustic guitar -- slide, finger-picking, whatever. Plus, he is an intense student of traditional and Americana music. He is a treasure, a wonder, a marvel. I've seen him twice in concert, and each show was one of those musical treasures you remember your whole life. See him if you can; buy his albums! We are graced by his presence and artistry.
Sorry don't agree, he's slow laborious and over rated.
the guy is a genius and probably the nicest performer i'd ever met, he even signed my guitar! =-D
Wow, I could listen to Martin Simpson all day long. Thanks for posting.
I've had the pleasure and rare privilege of taking classes with Martin at Richard Thompson's Frets & Refrains acoustic guitar and songwriting camp in upstate NY the past four summers. He is indeed a treasure, incandescent brilliance in every note. Highly recommend this camping experience!
going to see him tonight in about 3 hours time.really looking forward to it.
Never paid much attention to Martin Simpson, I've been missing out
Mr. Simpson, a guitarist of UnCommon Merit, Keep on Continuing!
Martin Simpson, we crossed pathes while headed to Columbia Univ. years ago. You a music facilitator....myself a student. This performance of 61 will always be etched in my brain. Keep on continuing! Stunning!

Excellent.
this guy is SO good he scares the living shit out of me!
good on him, i think... he's put the effort in, and it shows.
What a concert that must have been.! And listen to one of the by products of that night!
i feckin love this man
Fantastic
At about 4:40 Martin kicks it up a notch, and at about 6:40 he kicks it up another couple notches!
Give you an idea of the staure of this guy, he came to a small folk club in Northampton England & delivered a magnificent performance. Unfortunately one guy had a heart attack (the music was that good), but carried on after the interruption. He takes the time to get his guitar EXACTLY in tune, all part of a top class act.
Sublime.
good gawd! Very Cool!!
great!
Well done Scunny lad!
I saw martin live this year in Brighton and this video doesnt give him the slightest bit of credit for his brilliant playing. I'm 14 and I met Martin straight up during an intermission in a room 6 meters by about 3 in a small pub. Such a great bloke. Its a shame that being a folkie he's lucky to make 500 a gig but I'd still rather live his life than a bigtime poser we get nowadays
Give him "Highway 61" if I ever get hold of him!
i love you
@jasspie Because he has a good guitar builder who knows what they're doing...
