King Bee -The Swampy Boys

[The Reverend 48]

This has been a real labour of love...I really fell for this classic blues song
I wanted to get a real Nasty Swampy Delta feel......
so I enlisted a great slide player Geo Ballentine from Pennsylvania and a smoking harp player Tim Brennan from New Orleans
Hope you like it!

By the way I've done a vid as well

That's some serious Louisiana, gator hunting, airboat flying,  frog stew brewing blues! Amazing vocal, great playing by all, marvelous!
Swamp On!

I won't lie, I am no big blues fan so am not familiar with this tune, but this is absolutely wonderful and sounds so authentic.

The slide is exquisite, amazing technique and feel and the harp just takes it up yet another notch

That is one smokin growling vocal there Rev, you got the perfect voice for the blues.

The time and effort spent has paid dividends and you should be very proud of this.

Don't know how I missed this little cracker, The growlin vox, and the harp is to die for. and some brilliant slide from Geo,....Alex

Nice to see this one re-surface and to have another indulge into it, this is music in its finest form.

Should have way more comments.

The growlin Rev you can't beat him.....i agree this needs more comments it's beauty!! Rev Love it...

[Jean Pierre]

 didn't know The reverend 48 

I started to listen to his jukebox and I came across this song I'm a King Bee which is the first one in his jukebox

For me this song has a particular resonance because it is through it, in the Rolling Stone version, that I discovered the blues and became definitely involved in this music

I did a cover of I'm a King bee here
