Joanna has been great for along time. I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and in the 1980s there were a couple of venues that would get regional bands, including several Chicago blues bands. So, I got to see her and her band a few times back then. Fabulous talent. Stay safe and stay well. 😎🤙🏻✌🏻🤟🏻🖖🏻

Sebs people make decisions based on appearance and face it she doesn't present well. But those that make determinations based on talent then she kicks the doors down and kills all of us with her playing. I would have loved seeing her whole set. I guess I have to get my 'deep-dive' equipment out and see what I can find. Thanks, Brother for showing this.

She sounds a little like Bonny Raitt, both in voice and guitar. Raitt also plays a mean slide guitar. You might try listening to "Thing Called Love." There's another video on KZfaq where she performs with John Lee Hooker on "In the Mood." Talk about legends.

Taj Farrant started at 7 and he just turned 15. Taj is incredibly gifted. They're doing a 40th anniversary tribute to Prince and Purple Rain in a couple of weeks in Minneapolis. Taj was picked as the feature guest artist. He will be opening for the Prince's NPG band and Morris Hayes at Paisley Park. Taj performs Purple Rain as the closing song at his shows. He has had Morris Hayes;the musical director and keyboard player of NPG; play onstage with him a few times. I sent a request during a live for you to watch him playing Parisienne Walkways at The City Winery in Nashville. Taj will have his first album come out in August. He's released 5 original songs Crossroads, Cruz, Bad Trip, House Always Wins and 2x2. He has done this in the past year. The first 4 went to #1 on the iTunes worldwide blues charts. 2x2 went to #1 in Australia and #2 in the US. Taj is a lead guitar player who sings, too.

Joanna has been playing for years .... had a brief spot in the limelight back in 70's, since then has been flying under the radar. Don't know if that was by choice or not. This video was made a bit ago. Have no idea what she's doing now. Truly talented and a gift to the Blues. She needs her due and be recognized imo.

@OneLiterPeter 12 күн бұрын

Just so you know Sebs... That reaction you had when the guy stepped in front of the camera is the same reaction I make when you stop the song and comment. I really like this format where you just let the video keep playing and you "react" and comment over the music. I also get it that some songs you need to interrupt to get it out without the YT police canceling you. I really like your channel, Dude. Keep up the good work and cool content.

@AmethystEmpressDivineTarot6589 12 күн бұрын

Please do not take this badly, but I am so curious. If you want to hear the song without pauses then why not just listen to the song sans reactor? I mean, a big part of being part of a reactor community is the discussion around the song/artist/lyrics etc. If you don't want that, why do you watch reactions? I am genuinely curious as many people say the same as you when reactors pause and discuss. I myself do not understand.

@OneLiterPeter 12 күн бұрын

@@AmethystEmpressDivineTarot6589 Obviously, I can only express my own experience, everyone's mileage varies. I think for me it's really just a pet peeve of mine but so many times, I watch a reaction video and the song is stopped and the reactor tries to convey what they feel the song is about... and 90% of the time they're wrong and if they'd only listened for 15 seconds longer... Anyway... I find myself getting frustrated, I come back and try again... sometimes the format changes, like today which I really enjoyed, and sometimes... I tune out. I guess that's my only gripe really. No disrespect meant or taken.

@OneLiterPeter Thank for responding in kind. I understand what you are saying as I also find myself going " Ahh! Don't pause tjere!" However, I know that I have already heard the song and they don't yet know they just paused and interjected in a less than ideal spot. Therefore, it doesn't bother me, it makes me look forward to the discussion on video and in the comments. I guess I just don't understand why one would bother watching a reactor, knowing this was gonna happen and then critique the reactor for their reaction. Anyway, thanks for answering me 😊

I'm particularly partial to his song A Waltz for Leah but honestly, he's got ton of great stuff.

There are and always have been so many incredibly talented musicians out there who have not achieved the highest levels of attention for a variety of reasons. With women, especially, they have to have a certain "marketable" look (which was why I loved Janis Joplin and why much later I was thrilled to watch Brittany Howard perform with Alabama Shakes, and Miss Bonnie Raitt kept plugging away at college venues for well over a decade before she got her huge break.) All that said, I love KZfaq reactions like this that take a back-yard jam like this and give it a wider audience. Thank you! Support your local musicians!
