Almost all of the Playing for Change videos are pretty good.
Cindy Blackman is a great drummer who also happens to be Carlos Santanaās wife. She first came to prominence playing for Lenny Kravitz:
I took some guys I played hockey with to see this guy at the Horseshoe Tavern about 10 years agoā¦theyād heard me playing his stuff but didnāt know who he was. He comes out on stage and they look at me a go āJames Hunter is white?!?ā LOL.
Such a great song, and yes those Playing for Change covers are for the most part excellent!
I want to warn you up front, this is both stunningly great and insane. Donāt listen to it before at least your first cup of coffee, cuz if youāre not fully awake, your head may very well explode! I also advise you not to listen to it, at least not the first time, right before bed. No shitski, fucking insane! I love it!
Once youāve listened to it, you may want to go to his post on YouTube. Thereās a different version of this along with what I think is a great narrative. Very black! I just canāt get enough of it.
Are you a pianist? You can also buy his sheet music. You know, just for a little personal challenge. HA!
Donāt be afraid to play it loud!
Trying to figure out how to have the photo show up and not just a link to the video.
I frigginā LOVE Beth Hartā¦amazing vocalist.
I prefer her and Jeff Beck paying tribute to Buddy Guy, but Joe is pretty damn good too!
She has it too.
Thank you very much for sharing!!!
