      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!

    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".

    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.

    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

      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.

    Oh, that was good. As much as I tried to keep my feet quiet, they just insisted on tapping along. :)

    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.
