Mississippi Fred McDowell - Shake 'Em On Down

I prey to god this is under protection of some of archival heritage something or another

Run up on a hillbilly 😊

Reminds me a whole lot of jj Cale.

It's notable that this man doesn't need an accompanying band. It would only take away from the experience.

He's not actually from Mississippi. He was born in Rossville, TN. Mississippi Fred sounds better though.

Felicidades, muy bien. Cuántos años tendrá ahora esa niña ?

PURE CLASS, HOOKER’S BLUES AND RY’S PHRASING IS A NOVEL… IF YOU LISTEN IT SPEAKS…. THEYRE LETTING YOU STAY IN THEYRE HEADS A LITTLE WHILE… ON THAT TRAIN… IN SEARCH AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT!!!

What with the land grabbing the treatment of the native people and the slavery of the black peoples,how do you make America great again

That slide....what is it?

Was that Mississippi John Hurt behind him?

I see this music in Reacher series

Super schön 🌺✨🫲 danke sehr

Great ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tähän pitää aina palata. Sama mies, yksi kitara ja hän sekä säestää itse itseään ja soittaa komppikitaran ja soolot samalla kertaa. Eli on yksin koko bändi!

Gorgeous!

The real stuff

😅...started w/Mississippi John Hurt... [whooosh!!]

The size of those strings!

I'm so glad to see these Godfathers to see performing live, and hapily on a electric guitar

Let this be a lesson to you kids.
No need for 25 dancers behind you while you pretend to sing.
😊

Is he really making all that sound on just three strings??

Yes. Just a single man. Him. Driving the blues sound I love.

I just got an old Gibson LG-0 today. Been picking blues. Can’t even imagine playing like this cat. Super cool and unique

He's Amazing!

the guitar litrally saying words

The best ever

👴🏻-Fuck wrong meme song

Anyone familiar with Leo Kottke should hear the similarities in his slide style, orginally exemplified by Fred McDowell.

unbelievable !!!

Dear Madame
You’ve just got me smoothly and neatly high
My respect and regards ❤

Holy crap! 😳

There's some fascinating right and left hand skills going on there...that buzz thing at the neck, and that rhythm thumb picking is a hoot!

Itss... good

stone Cold cryptic.

Anyone heard of Bob Log lll?

Does anyone recognize the brand and model of this guitar ?? I can’t get a good look at headstock logo or name

I’m convinced I was born the wrong color at the wrong time in history. I got more blacks than whites in my family. It’s a wonder I was ever born.

No Mississippi Fred no Rolling Stones!

Wow.

The was an amazing guitarist.

Roots ❤❤

this guy is amazing!!!! cant believe i havnt heard him until now! he really deserves far more recognition👍🎸🎶🎤

I can hear the inspiration for Zeppelin's Hat's off for Roy Harper

Absolument fabuleux , quel guitariste extraordinaire 👏👏👏 😊

Man I was born in the wrong time. I would've loved being alive and experiencing this in real life. I'm a sucker for blues but a millennial 😂

Legendary!

Rivals Any guitarest before o r since

C est relaxant les heavy métal sa fait du stress au bout d'un temps

Please, some body can tell me if it's open D or similar? Regards

This man was meaner than sin, especially if you were a lady. He smacked many and ole girl around.
