Mississippi Fred McDowell - Goin Down to the River

Wicked thanks for posting

Fantastic 🇬🇧👍

I was blessed to know Fred McDowell when I was a concert promoter in Seattle in 1970s, I saw him first in 1969 after I returned from Vietnam and it was digging Fred and discovering country blues that saved my life. Fred was a true gentleman with a sardonic, tongue-in-cheek humor. His first album on Arhoolie was with an acoustic guitar and even though he was playing electric in these years, I always thought he sounded best on acoustic, and I have two arch-top F-holes to play this style. Order his first two Arhoolie releases, they are the best!

I'm only 12 years old and I love classical music, blues music, jazz, rock and roll, but rap and trap no. I found Missisipi Mcdowell last month and I love him. My favourite are Louise and You gotta move. i love you Fred <3.

Best blues musician

The Rolling Stones tried to popularise him but I just heard about him. ☹️

I have to play a gig tomorrow in a trump friendly area. Fuck it I'm singing this kind if blues all night bc this is MAGIC. Ty Mr. McDowell!

He's been haunting me since the first time i heard of him...spooky kind of legend...

Truly truly amazing, stunning

Why would I listen to the Rolling Stones when I can listen to this?

Fantastic Blues Man, Bonnie Rait always loved Fred.

The teacher of RL Burnside

the blues had a baby and they called it rock&roll

Bob Log III sent me here and I'm not disappointed 🤘🏻

Never forgot the first time I heard him. I was blown away. He just had something that no other bluesmen had.

Don't need masses of equipment when you got talent

he nearly only plays acoustic

Pure genius

The voice of the Blues !

He’s got it goin’ on!👍

Man, thank you.

Nice to hear him on an acoustic guitar ,most of his later records were on electric

whaouuu! These guys don't need singing lessons, it's impressive.

Gee that's fantastic

The power and feeling in the voice is almost indescribable.

Really fabulous! I love that I can hear his foot keeping time.

I got a chance to sit down with him for a few minutes at Liberty Hall in Houston. I played harp on two tunes he played. I was stunned at his beautiful soul.
That night he was treated like a king. One of the high moments of my life.
