Do I detect a touch of John Lee Hooker? I love the sound she gets from the cigar box guitar (I had to look it up): https://www.cigarboxguitar.com/knowledge-base/samantha-fish/

yeah, she was just in some cigar box festival down in New Orleans a few weeks ago. She not only plays the cigar box, but she also has one made from an old kerosine can.

^ Great. I love that sort of thing. Did she ever record Shake 'Em On Down?

Nope. She has only been playing it live, so far!

Perhaps there is a copyright issue.

Smantha Fish borrows from Mississippi Fred McDowell's version of the Bukka White song:

Bukka White's original:

I am no fan of straight blues (except perhaps John Lee Hooker and a touch of Little Walter), but these are worth watching.

Just goes to show that sexy goes hand in hand with talent......and Sam has plenty of both

Sam Fish - I Put a Spell on You

(as the title of the vid says, absolutely smoldering rendition)

Have watched and listened to this piece of audio several times over the past couple of years.

Currently listening to the live album she did, Girls With Guitars (with Dani Wilde and Vicktoria Smith). Fantastic album. I have been crushing on her guitar work on this album since I first heard it a few years ago.

HELL of a job of I Put a Spell on You on this album (just as in my previous post). She nails every ounce of this song!
