Mance Lipscomb - Live and at home in 1972

A brilliant clip of the amazing Mance Lipscomb live and interviewed at his house in Navasota in 1972. Originally I found a part of this footage on the French film/documentary 'Le Blues Entre Les Dents' (The Blues Between the Teeth) released in 1973 but I recently found more footage from the same day on the 'Out of the Blacks Into the Blues' documentary. I've edited the footage & audio together as best I can. Mance was 77 here and sadly died a few years after this performance in 1976 aged 81. I don't make anything editing and putting these videos together so please support the channel with the link here if you can its greatly appreciated! https://tr.ee/cplUOY9n5L 0:00 See See Rider 2:02 Interview 3:10 Rock Me Mama 4:13 Interview 5:38 All Night Long 7:37 Interview Lipscomb was born April 9, 1895. His father had been born into slavery in Alabama; his mother was half African American and half Native American. His father left home when he was a child, so he had to leave school after the third grade to work in the fields alongside his mother. For most of his life, Lipscomb supported himself as a tenant farmer in Texas. His mother bought him a guitar and he taught himself to play by watching and listening. He became an accomplished performer then and played regularly for years at local gatherings, mostly what he called "Saturday night suppers" hosted by someone in the area. He and his wife regularly hosted such gatherings for a while. Until around 1960, most of his musical activity took place within what he called his "precinct", the area around Navasota, Texas. He was discovered and recorded by Mack McCormick and Chris Strachwitz in 1960, during a revival of interest in the country blues. He recorded many albums of blues, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley, and folk music (most of them released by Strachwitz's Arhoolie Records), singing and accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. Lipscomb had a "dead-thumb" finger-picking guitar technique and an expressive voice. He honed his skills by playing in nearby Brenham, Texas, with a blind musician, Sam Rogers. This TV documentary was shot all around the USA in 1972 and features performances by: Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry, Robert Pete Williams, Mance Lipscomb, Walter “Furry” Lewis, Roosevelt Sykes, Junior Wells & Buddy Guy, Bukka White, Jimmy Streeter and B.B. King. The music serves as backdrop to a love drama of characters Hattie and Freddy. If any videos get blocked I tend to post them on my other social media platforms, so have a look if you don't want to miss anything!
