Mr Clarence was one of the best men I’ve ever met. He lived 1/2mile away from us .One day he parked his tour bus at the grocery parking lot and my mom started talking to he and his wife. They invited us to their home and he took me on the back porch and told me this is where he gets inspiration for a lot of his music. It was beautiful. The sun was just about to set and I never seen the marsh look so gorgeous.The wind was blowing and me and Mr Clarence just stood there gazing at the beauty of nature. It’s a memory I will never forget. He showed me his Grammy, tried to teach me his unique way of playing guitar ( which we laughed most of the time because I couldn’t get it ), told me stories of touring and people he played with. He played Country, Blues, and Zydeco and didn’t like being linked to just blues music. One of the worst days of my life was after Hurricane Katrina and when we where able to go back into the city ( Slidell ,LA). We took a drive to make sure his home was ok and it was leveled. After seeing our house destroyed then seeing The Brown’s gone I couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. Then the worst. I found out Mr Brown passed away (Sept 10 2005). He had been battling lung cancer and heart disease but I truly believe Katrina broke his heart and the devastation was too much to come back from 😞. Mr. Clarence Gatemouth Brown will always and forever be in my heart. His kindness and music will live on ❤️🙏🏻

Only discovered Gatemouth a couple of years ago. What a incredible musician ! And apparently a great guy as well. Thank heaven's for youtube.

These guys would all be astounded to find people watching this more than 50 years later. It’s amazing that such good copies of these tapes even exist. Most videotape during the 60s and into the 70s was wiped clean and reused, which was its selling point. Unfortunately a lot of great stuff is lost.

He was a great American bluesman.

Brilliant, often overlooked guitarist. Second tune was Okie Dokie Stomp (I think). Unusual to see him with a Ricky 330.

In the early 60's in Houston, TX you had to know Okie Dokie Stomp; it was required. The closer to the original you were, the closer you were to being accepted as a legit player. This was a revelation. I didn't know that he picked with his fingers or that he used a capo, and rather high up too - 5th fret? Whatever. Hearing it has me flashing back to another era. I'm so glad to have grown up in the 50's.

He was way more than a "bluesman" and resented being called that. Check his recordings - jazz, country, Cajun you name it.

Awesome band, they made a lot of the guests sound good, and these interludes they'd play, so cool. Gatemouth is a legend and was around for a long, long time. Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, entertainer, and all around cool guy. Nice video, thank you for posting.

Super fun, I like up tempo 'big band' style blues a lot. This almost feels like jazz. I wonder if Eric Clapton took any inspiration from him - a lot of the quick hammer ons and pull offs in the high register remind me of him.
