- Fred McDowell (January 12, 1904 -- July 3, 1972) known by his stage name; Mississippi Fred McDowell, was a blues singer and guitar player in the North Mississippi style
I am a very white middle class British man...but this fantastic music stirs something deep inside me...awesome!
A lotta white middle class Brits liked the blues back in the day and still today! Your not unique!
Hey! Don't forget that one of you Brits jad a project much like Alan Lomax! They traveled the south and hunted down and recorded blues men also!
But I've still got a couple on ya!
I've walked the streets of Como barefooted!
And I had an illegal immigrant friend by the name of South.
Yup! He was South Hampton! 😂 Better yet, he worked at the Union Jax Pub in Memphis Tennessee! I miss him and I miss the pub!
@@patvickers8189 I've been all around Como too.....but I kept my shoes on as a Public Service!!!!! 😜😜
I was blessed to be able to meet and play with Fred in 1971 in Seattle. I prefer his acoustic recordings. Fred was a very upbeat, kind, good-natured person and a real gentleman. As a concert promoter for the Seattle Folklore Society I was blessed to meet so many of the original bluesmen. The Stones recorded his version of "you Got to Move".
Did you meet and got to hear and see Son House play too?
@@dennisdistant No, but he played in Seattle before I was involved, Skip James also played in Seattle via the Folklore Society, also Lightnin' Hopkins, Doc Watson, Bukka White, Rev. Gary Davis, and many more. Like I say, I feel truly blessed to meet and learn from the greats, thanks.
Them Mississippi men are gentlemen.. my hubby still opens doors, walks an umbrella around to my side if the car , holds door sort of thing ... I love being treated like a lady ... he's so sweet to me .
How is he?
Awesomeness
"The Blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll".
Elvis
Exactly...Elvis personified that
Fred and others like him did not receive the recognition they deserved. Others used their songs and made a fortune.
All together now, Led Zeppelin. Maybe not Fred, but they paid for what they stole. Lil' Walter, Howlin' Wolf...
Don't let this music die !
pick it up and help
Please don't!
The BEST Will never die ,It could be forget for some time but It Will reborn,cause It IS really goog became from the deepest of eeuu people's soul(sorry x my bad english)
First time l met the blues..l was walking down the street..Good mornin' good mornin' Mr blues..how do you do?..lol
There's a big following. I help make sure this raw mastery is not forgotten
Real music, raw and authentic. no bullshit, for real people by real people.
Amen…. 🫡
First time hearing this my mind is blown.
It's incredible that he did with an acoustic guitar ! This man was a genius, and his music modern at his time !
dont insult him and call himn a genius
You listen to this long enough, you will hear hundreds of your favorite guitarists and blues singers. This is like the common ancestor of a million tunes.
GREAT music!! it's a shame kids today will never hear beautiful music like this.
That's the thing, though. We live in the digital age, and can enjoy oldies like this if we choose to. I've been listening to Fred since I was a teenager. I'm now 31.
You know this is on TH-cam right? I mean.. it's NEVER been easier to hear music like this. No hoping someone in your class liked the blues and had a record. No wishing your dead end record store had it on the shelf. It's a search away. Man I wish the internet had been around when I was a boy wearing out the same old four or five LPs.
im 17 and i love this music. robert johnson, Mississippi Fred, and t-bone walker are my favorites. this music means so much more than vapid modern music
@@HatlessAtlasHA. Lucky you !😍
They will hear it but they won't listen to it
I don't know how old this version is but a thousand years from now it will still be stomping everyone's ass into the ground.
Ernesto De La Serna this is original artist who wrote this I believe. This is blues back when blues meant somethin. Mostly poor people grew up on farms with nothin some tried to make it big. But there wasn’t much money in serculation back then. Some of these artist were recorded on the farm were they stayed and lived
1964
A good friend turned me on to Mississippi Fred McDowell in the early 1970s. This song is on his Capital album called, "I Do Not Play No Rock & Roll," that I bought back then. It was one of two of his albums that I think were released posthumously. The other is called, "Somebody Keeps Calling Me," which was released on the Antilles label in 1976. I bought these vinyl LPs and one other one that was released on the Arhoolie label in 1964, and I'm still enjoying them.
Yep 🤗
Sonny Boy Williamson is the original recording. Who the fuck knows who actually wrote it
I saw him live three times, and not long before he died. He did not appear sickly at all. These were concerts I didn't want to end. He was also a true gentleman, quite humble.
Ten Years After turned that song into a popular rock song
Always thought they had wrote it First time hearing this version. Cool
Thank you for sharing this........I am 76 years old born and raised in Jackson Ms. I love this sound, a treasure. Sound is fantastic.
Right there with you...Murrah High 1972
D'lo
Glad you like it Ms./Miss Wilson.
What a treasure❤
Hope you are still with us and enjoying the music by the way I'm 72.
I am Thankful that Mr. Lomax Recognized this Man's Talent!
Now it is Preserved as Music History!
Mr Lomax taught us so much of our heritage that defined rural America. These men and women described the emotions of their era.
I went into my regular record store in about 1968 to buy my usual rock 'n roll type album, but the salesman who knew me as a regular customer,said, "forget about that stuff,try this one instead" and handed me "I Do Not Play No Rock and Roll" by this blues genius. I still thank him to this day. This is the real thing.
daduck100 any other suggestions you’d like to share please let me know
My brother had it on 8-track. For years we'd play it just to get a rise out of his wife, who absolutely hated it.
@ Great story bro.
This groove and instrumentation is so authentic it takes me to another place in time.
ME too!
Lord have mercy!!! This gave me chills up & down my spine. Absolutely amazing!! This here, folks, is The Blues. Period. End of subject.
I heard ya! I think the early stuff (pre-1940) is the best. Happy hunting!
@@tdsims1963 is this pre 1940?????
My dad , he was from 1920...born* in "de Jordaan' in Amsterdam,,,always say:"The Stones are good , but they 'stole a lot , from the old bluessingers" after hear this,,,I thougt: yes dad you where right...that time in the sixties😉
@@jaapklein1600 actually I don't think the Stones stole it. I think they did blues songs to honor the Blues men. 😊
@@cyndygough4107 Fred McDowell loved the Stones...He Said their covering "you gotta move" was the best payday he had ever got up till then.
I could listen to guys like him all day. Both the guitar playing, and his voice are wonderful.
the talent and coolness every rock star wished for
I’ve been into The Blues for 50+ years. Mississippi Fred McDowell is outtasight. 😆😀
Fred Was one of the best their ever was. RIP.
Always been a fan of this most incredible performer, wowza such a magnificent guitarist, and a powerful voice ...so very genuine and soul inspiring.
Great sounds, just one more thing that sets America apart and special... In Slidell, Louisiana we once had black blues artist by the name of Gatemouth Brown, he played guitar and other instrument, his singing was something to behold... A treasured now gone but never forgotten.... I once saw him and a fellow musician taking dinner at Denny's there in Slidell... only wish I had ask for an autograph. Also love hearing the truly great... black blues harmonic players... A sound one never forgets.
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was a great blues and zeideco player......he made the rounds pretty well and was an influence on several........I think I have a CD of his around here......
Good gosh! Summers at my Great Aunt's out on a slough near Slidell. Hot has another meaning. My Granddad helped clear some of those drainage ditches down there. To hear about that hugh ancient equipment work is just humbling.
I saw him in Bellbuckle Tennessee, with my Dad, who was a musicologist from England. He spotted the gig advertised in a local Tennessee paper and made us drive to Bellbuckle. He played lots of stuff, including a number called Blue gummed, Catahoula, alligator eating dog…we loved it.
A debt of gratitude is owed for this quintessential american musical treasure.Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best blues recordings.
Love this song. I have lots of family from Mississippi and we all love Fred McDowell.
Makes you wonder on all the great songs that were never recorded, are lost forever.
Don’t fret, Taylor Swift, Katie Perry and the likes will record shit that will be unearthed thousands of years after our civilisation has ended and that’s what will define us. Might go shoot myself now.
The real good stuff! So many times covered and yet the original is the best of them! Authentic Mississippi Blues.
Love this. I'm from Ontario Canada and tend to listen to blues from southern american stations online. Now this is what real blues is. Although I love all kinds of music even guitar rock and jazz alot of blues is now just guitar rock. This to me is true unadulterated blues.
If you enjoy this music, you might also enjoy Sleepy John Estes. It is also the real authentic blues.
Only one word sums it up
BRILLIANT.
His singing reboots my soul.
I give thanks daily for people like Mississippi Fred and the blues.
Muito show
Thank you Johnny Winter for bringing attention to this great song. If only you could play it like Fred. He’s the master. All other guitarists just wish they had his magic fingers and deep soul.
This is a blues masterpiece. Johnny Winter played it his own way. He had too much respect for the blues to copy it.
MISSISSIPPI--Home of the Blues--49/61 Crossroads....
Blues is like American Express, I don't leave home without it.
This man’s music was one of my main go to’s when I briefly stayed in Louisiana.
Da Bach of da blues. Just Fred's face alone.......
Back when cassette tape was the usual medium for people sharing music, a friend sent me a mix tape of old blues with a lot of Fred McDowell. Shake 'em On Down, You Got To Move...so many incredible songs recorded by Fred.
For all the BS click-bait on TH-cam, you can always find gems like this.
bill Hilliard I have to say the recommendations I get for "Blues" have been consistently good, but for most other topic there’s some real dross.
The blues don’t clickbait!
Danny Walker o ya!
@Danny Walker Wahahaha. Pretty good. Can you pick??
Muy bueno! Mucha calidez, aquí les comparto algunas melodías Patagonicas th-cam.com/video/mMQsAoD-buk/w-d-xo.html espero que les guste, Saludos desde el Sur :D
Mothers milk to me. We have the only degree in southern blues music in America here @the University of Mississippi/Ole Miss. My sweet home.
As long as people get the blues, there will be blues, after all music is an expression of the musicians thoughts and feelings
A great singer.from the most important time.
And under appreciated singers!!
What a great tune-that guitar work is magic!
a tune is everything nomatter what bieb barbies tell you
I'M FROM ARGENTINA: I LOVE BLUES. THANKS FOR IT PEOPLE FROM MISSISIPPI.
Mississippi gets a bad rap for being the poorest, most undereducated state in America, but wow, has it produced some incredible blues musicians.
"Mississippi" Fred was born and raised in my home state of Tennessee but I guess Mississippi Fred sounded better
@Duke Of Prunes As a general unscientific observation, Southern talent gets overlooked and undervalued by people living outside the South. But as a Southern resident since 1972 [Alabama, Louisiana], I've seen a wealth of talent come out of the South.
@Duke Of Prunes Tru' Dat! James Booker, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sonny Boy Williamson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Leadbelly and many more - all received greater acclaim across the pond than at home. I'm thankful for the British Blues explosion in the early 1960's for bringing so many of these great musicians to our ears.
@Duke Of Prunes Speaking of Fred McDowell, check out this rare live cut with Fred playing with the late, great, Jo Anne Kelly. Fred was much revered in English blues circles. RIP both.

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta, home of the Blues. You had to go to Juke Joints to hear music like this.
@Greg Gregory You wrote all this and not ONE person will read it. Only the weak and insane follow politics......people will read my comment though !!
From Tchula myself but it was more country in the blues.
@Greg Gregory virtually the whle oboma admin. belong on prison .g d willing they'll be behind bars soon.
@@shanghunter7697 and mine
Don Kemp-I wish i could go to a juke joint!We never had any in France!I was born in the wtong country!Lol!
Mainly very humble down to earth people they were.who really played out of their heart Not like modern pushed, promoted wannabe's.
heavy, this is true heavy music. raw power and emotion
I love the raw, gravely voiced authenticity of Country Blues...
This is Mississippi Blues not Country Blues.
Just found out that I share my birthday with Mississippi Fred! Made my day!
Lucky you!....😊
@@michaelgrosser1657 - Not the same year, just the same date.
@@carltaylor4942 Yeah, just trying to be phunny..all the best to you sir.....
pure awesome, thanks
7 years later ;)

All you need in life :
Good friends,good food and good music.
And a bottle of Kane-tucky's finest. ...Jus Saein
I remember the Yardbirds recorded their version of this about 1965.... but Mississippi Fred is the motherlode.... brilliant fingerwork.
Which Master - "Mississippi" Fred Mcdowell
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL BLUES ! ALTHOUGH I LOVE TEN YEARS AFTERS VERSION TOO.
I'm so glad I found this. Beautiful guitar work. I'm in awe of anyone that can play the guitar like this.
love this style of blues!!
Thanks Joe for putting this out there! Loved it! Thanks Fred for your work!! RIP
Listening again, loving every note, how the hell has this music been lost to generations? And replaced by bubblegum shite.
One of my greatest heroes!! He nailed it with the other musicians and this song :)
Absolutely awesome 👌😍😍😍🇦🇺
Damn good stuff!!!! The heart of rock is the soul of sweet music called the blues!!!
talk about feelings and emotions this is it! It's what music is all about not about how many records you sell not about how many Grammys you won for me it s about soothing the spirit for me it's emotional without that there's no connection.This is a great song!!!
Ironically, the guitar he's playing, if sold today, might be worth more than he made in his whole life!....great guitar slide work!!....the Stones must of been listening.
The Stones were absolutely listening.
Chad Thorne
Good Wikipedia on him....Bonnie Raitt learned slide techniques from him and the Stones covered "You Gotta Move" on sticky fingers...he passed away in 1972. Rounder recorded him, along with several other labels...I think I'll go to the record store today....
Yardbirds were
Wyldwood Studio, which guitar is he playing on this song?
Dragon15c
Might be an old Harmony or Silvertone, not sure. If you showed this video at the right auction today and THAT guitar was up for bid, might go for over $500,000 perhaps! Some original handwritten lyrics written by Lennon or McCartney (or both) have sold for over $1,000,000.
I first heard this song on a Ten years after album in the 1970's Alvin Lee did it justice and this is effing great.
This song was Rod Stewart's first single. The Yardbirds (with Eric Clapton) had a very different version out at the same time. I bought them both.
😘😘😘
THAT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME ❤ NEVER HEARD NO ONE PLAY LIKE HE DOES THERE 💯😎
Mr. Fred is one of our our Delta kings.
Been a fan since 1970...
I haven't heard this in forty years. It's just as I remembered - thrilling and brilliant. Thanks for uploading.
My uncle used a old Alka-Seltzer bottle to get a sound like this. He was a truck driver in the early 50s and carried his Gibson L1 with him. Wish I had that guitar.
This still sounds fresh.
Millón de gracias por este maravilloso regalo .
absolute toetapper... cheers Mr JJ
Been covered many many times but this is slammin’... Pigpen brought me here ;-)) GBTGD!!!
Sonny Boy brought me here ! Listening in 2019 !
Me too!!
Listen in 2020!?!?
2021
Gone but sound will always be around. Don't make em like this any more,.
He look like my grandmother
@Lord Jagged u gonna get old one day if u live
I love old school blues make me think about the sharecroppers
Pure as driven snow. Superb.
Great songs by great performers. I love Johnny Winter’s version of this song on the Johnny Winter And Live album.
Me too. That was the first album I ever bought about 45 years ago. Still one of my favorites.
I also love Johnny 's cover of this! Don't get me wrong, Fred's version is killer too! All guitarists are a bit different. They are both among my favorites. Only got to see Johnny once:, an experience I'll never forget. Unfortunately I didn't get to see Fred. May the blues live on!
This is my favorite version of this song, even including other versions by Mississippi Fred. He takes the "we all know the lyrics" approach and leaves off the end of several lines. The coolest thing ever.
Damn that was an awesome tune. He was one of the greatest. He could make that slide guitar sing!
I'm a little schoolboy too ... got the original album where he just plays guitar.
"Groovy man, very groovy!" J.S.Bach to Fred Macdowell.
I'll letting my Friend listen Mississippi is her home state God Bless✌❤
Who are the 289 deaf people who don't like it?
Back when we can see the dislike ratio
