Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Eric Clapton (Cover) | Bruce Lande

🎸 77 years of living. 60 years of playing. One take. My acoustic cover of Eric Clapton's "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" — a blues standard that hits different when you've lived through some ups and downs. This song was originally written by Jimmy Cox in 1923, made famous by Bessie Smith, and brought back to life by Eric Clapton on his Unplugged album. After 60 years of playing guitar and 77 years of life, I've earned every word of this one. 🎵 ABOUT THIS SONG: "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" is a timeless blues classic about prosperity, loss, and the fair-weather friends who disappear when times get tough. Eric Clapton's 1992 MTV Unplugged version introduced this 1920s gem to a whole new generation, and it remains one of the most powerful acoustic blues performances ever recorded. 📺 WHAT YOU'RE HEARING: Fingerstyle acoustic guitar in the traditional blues style The original chord progression from the 1920s version Clapton's Unplugged arrangement influence Vocals from someone who's been both up and down a few times One take, no overdubs — just guitar, voice, and truth 🎼 SONG HISTORY: Written by Jimmy Cox in 1923 during the Prohibition era, this song became a blues and jazz standard performed by legends like Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, and later by rock artists like Clapton. The lyrics tell the story of someone who had it all, lost everything, and discovered who their real friends were. It's a cautionary tale wrapped in beautiful blues progressions.

His raw, acoustic performance of this song — along with "Tears in Heaven" and "Layla" — showed the world that sometimes the most powerful music comes from the deepest pain. This song, written nearly 70 years before Clapton's version, proved that blues is timeless because human experience is timeless. 📖 MY TAKE ON IT: At 77 years old, I've had my share of ups and downs. I've had successful businesses and watched them fail. I've had friends who stuck around and others who disappeared when things got hard. This song isn't just blues tradition — it's life truth. And when you've lived it, you don't just play the notes. You feel every single word. 🎵 MORE BLUES CLASSICS ON THIS CHANNEL: [Link to your blues playlist if you have one] 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for acoustic covers of blues, country, and rock classics from a musician who's lived the songs! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌐 CONNECT WITH BRUCE LANDE: Website: https://brucelande.com/ Facebook:   / bruce.lande   77 years old | 60 years playing guitar | Still learning, still growing ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #EricClapton #NobodyKnowsYou #BluesCover #AcousticBlues #MTVUnplugged #ClastonUnplugged #BruceLande #AcousticGuitar #BluesStandard #JimmyCox #BessieSmith #FingerstyleGuitar #BluesMusic #AcousticCover #ClassicBlues #1920sBlues #UnpluggedCover #BluesLegends #TimelessBlues #authenticblues This song is from Bruce's "Eric Clapton 3 Song Tribute" video featuring classic rock and folk favorites.
