I keep coming back to this song year after year. It's what got me into Downchild Blues Band after hearing they inspired the Blues Brothers. Yet I can never find an album with this song. Was it ever recorded and released or was this just done for live shows?
i agree about Chuck Jackson, but he is also one cocky mother, thinks he is what makes Downchild, when it's all 6 members that move this one and only blues band.
I never knew this clip existed so thanks very much for it. In the late 70s I was living in St. Jamestown, a lower income set of highrises in Toronto and our local bar was the Hotel Isabella. And lucky us, on the weekends the house band featured The Hock with a great bunch of musicians. He'd left Downchild by then but still had that great voice.
I saw this band in Kingston in '72 or '73. It was a terrific show, which I would have enjoyed more if some greasy waste of oxygen hadn't been trying to pick a fight with me.
vingchick- could you please upload the other Hock clip you had a few years back- "have you ever had the blues" from this same TV show- I loved that one!
Great clip. I will never forget seeing Hock sing in the Cameo Lounge upstairs at the Isabella Hotel with an excellent band he had put together. He had Gordie Johnson(Big Sugar) on guitar, Terry Wilkens(My favourite bass player), and Maureen Brown(almost my favourite drummer and also excellent singer). They did one song, I believe it was called "F from the Five" that I am very sorry I do not have a recording of. It was a slow blues that really allowed Hock to SING BIG.
