Mississippi Fred McDowell - You Gotta Move download song

Considered to be one of the first of the Northern Missisippi bluesmen to achieve popular recognition in the early-mid 1900s, Fred McDowell, a hill country blues singer/guitar player, impacted secular music with his style and technique for numerous decades, even directly influencing the Rolling Stones, as well as, coaching Bonnie Raitt on slide guitar. Years later, Raitt would honor his life by providing a portrait to his memorial at his gravesite in Missisippi. McDowell's legacy can still be heard in contemporary music today, especially as Americana and Gospel Blues continues to thrive. Thank you, Missisippi Fred McDowell, for continuing to inspire us!

Epic. Hard to believe this is from '65 though. Sounds like hardcore mississipi blues back in 40's.

there`s one word that describes this piece of art "priceless" thx for sharing

wasn't trying to start a big controversy here - just remarked its a similar tune, that probablyhas its origin in 'Sitting on top of the World' a traditional song almost every blues guitaristin the Southern States would know a version of. I'm a great fan of Fred McDowell, went to see him play when he came to the UK in the 70's. so theres no accusation of copycatting,its widely acknowledged that RJ would take ideas from any musician he liked and fair play to him, probably Fred did the same. Both timeless masters of the Blues

The 'call and response' technique in this song is remarkable.

completely raw and real. not much can compete with this. x

This is that old hit the center of the soul song.

Omg I’m in tears. My grandfather Elder Louis Moses would sing this. This brought so much memories back. I miss my Papa so much along with his singing, piano playing and guitar playing.

41 dislikes!!! Jeezus no hope for em!! Fred is one of the best ever.

this is almost the same tune as Robert Johnson 'Come on in my Kitchen'

One of the deacons in my church would sing this every Sunday morning. These old songs were the best.

Reminds me of "Come On In My Kitchen" by Robert Johnson...almost exactly the same melody.

Mississippi Fred Mcdowell – You Gotta Move Lyrics You got to move You got to move You got to move, child You got to move But when the Lord Gets ready You got to move (guitar) You may be high You may be low You may be rich, child You may be po' But when the Lord gets ready You've got to move (guitar) You see that woman That walk the street You see the policeman Out on his beat But when the Lord gets ready You got to move (guitar) You got to move You got to move You've got to move, child You've got to But when the Lord gets ready You got to move.

"I'm Mississippi Fred McDowell, and I do not play no rock 'n roll 'yall - just the straight and natural blues. The only way you gonna rock Fred is you gotta put him in a rock'n chair - that's my type of rockn'!"

I believe the young people say, "Tune!". Stones version is good, but Fred's the best.

The USA - the country that gave us spray-on cheese could also give us such great music.
