[@Hobosmalls]

Still on this side listening.

[@gilldanier4129]

Their music is so simple, but impossible to replicate.

[@mavjimbo]

That's why I rarely listen to covers of songs, why bother

[@yoannleveille9499]

It *shows* simple, but it talks. Not simple at all.

Awesome !

What an amazing musician Fred was. Why wasn't this guy as famous as B.B. King or John Lee Hooker???

[@smoothoperator7023]

He retreated from the music scene for years to work a regular job. Even after he was re-discovered, he cont'd to work a regular job. In my book he was just as famous & important in the blues genre- i love this man!

[@keithpurtell1213]

@@smoothoperator7023 I didn't know that. Very little bio material. But I agree with you.

[@TonyFunches]

Before it was RE-visited ... Fred was ALREADY There! This is why Tedious Ted will NEVER Have Peace Of Mind; this Simple & Humble Old Man played CIRCLES around him without Shouting & Padded Call Histrionics ... by jus' playin' "The Straight Natch'l Blue" ... Ask The Queen Of My Soul, Bonnie Raitt!

Bluesrock is the best rock and roll . . . I like to say the blues is rock and roll without all the glam rock

[@jasonhiggins8909]

This was before any rock brah.... no rock.to say they if any was blues -rock has to be later way later

[@jasonhiggins8909]

Pure blues!

[@oker59]

@@jasonhiggins8909 not if Blues was the original rock and roll! Mississippi Fred McDowell plays in the style of Charlie Patton; listen to Charlie's Prayor of Death. I'm forgetting which; I usually listen to both side by side; but, there's rock riffs in there.

[@anthonyevans9886]

The cover of his album literally says "i do not play no rock and roll"
