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!
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!
@@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.
Still on this side listening.
