MISSISSIPPI FRED MCDOWELL SONG

[AspiringSanta]

If you'd look to the right you'd perhaps notice Mississipi Fred McDowell - Goin Down to the River with 400k views..

And even if the state of affairs was as you explained it, it's a good state to be in compared to some other great genres of music that are completely bastardized..

[Zebra902]

Nice job!

[pretty9reenpark4]

its a sad state of afair when the actual fred mcdowell song the guy is covering has got 14,000+ views when fred mcdowell has close to 700 shocking in my opinion. fred mcdowell kicks fuckin ass.

[captaininsanity89]

fred mcdowell is the man who got me loving the blues the way i do today

[afkhajiit]

Why does it sound so much heavier than the original?

[faunoram]

wow !!

he is great !!

[checkmyvagina]

Cool playing bro very...entrancing

.

[Taniadietolle]

looooove it !!!

[sandbreak2]

Damn good stuff...who`s the performer?

[AspiringSanta]

Mark Nomad

[sandbreak2]

Thanx santa..you just made my day!

[pierrevanbentum]

Still great performance.... Love it!!!

[Th3Turtl3]

Does anyone know what guitar this guy is using? Is that a round neck or square neck?

[BraBoy61]

It is a vintage late 30's painted National tricone and it has a round neck, square necks are played on the lapstyle

[guitarded71]

Haha er...that is NOT a tricone. That's a Triolian. BIG difference.

[guitarded71]

National Triolian. Round neck, not a tricone, I don't know what the guy who said tricone has been smoking...that's a Triolian.

[brandonmiller1976]

fucking awesome man

[joelharmonicaboy]

Yes he ain't no McDowell. But no one except McDowell himself is McDowell! And who cares? The music is very very very good! And about that washing machine! van3kars music must be about exciting as a hairdryer or a piece of paper if he don't think this is good!

[koloft07]

He ain't no McDowell!

[harrietwee]

as good as Fredhimself!

[sidestreetreny]

Before I leave (cus this is beyond tired!) lemme just see if I got it straight. You are a classy fella, a learned musical historian, musicologist, incomprehensible soul and homophobe... wow, nice resume!

[sidestreetreny]

Just had to say that this performance is rite on. It seems the attention drifted from where it belongs. On the artist. Thanx for postin'. Holler.

- peace fo'real, Sidestreet Reny

[resoblues]

Well no he didn't play Fred McDowell like a parrot. But a hell of a lot better than most of the slide crap here. I trust the blues critics here could play a hell of a lot better. I doubt it. Happy new year.

[van3kar]

Yawn...

Listen to the real stuff here by Fred, this guy is crap, he even hasnt got the riff right (he slides where it should be pulled).

+ There´s no feeling whatsoever. No soul.

[sophistikittenlin]

Post some of your own stuff. I'd like to see how much "soul" and "feeling" you generate with your playing!

[sidestreetreny]

That's what I'm sayin!! Yeah mister Van3kar... let us see yer soul.

[sidestreetreny]

I think it is you that should chill out, my overzealous, short sighted and oh so judge-MENTAL little friend. Y'all don't know me from Adam! And even less about the blues, I'm quite sure. Holler.

[sophistikittenlin]

Of course. EVERYONE knows that the blues originated in the Czech Republic, near the Svartka River Delta! Who is this Fred McDowell person you keep referring to? Is he Czech? I'm glad you're here to help and educate everyone, Mr Blues Expert with the oh-so-deep-and-incomprehensibl­e-soul (and no videos!)...I'll go do my homework now, I promise.

Dumbass.

[sidestreetreny]

Where's yer vids, mister critic??

[wolvoboy]

van3kar your the one who aint got no soul,your missing the point, he isnt Fred Mcdowell,he aint trying to be, just playing his own version.but if you can do better lets hear you,or are you at the crossroads trying to sell your soul.

[resoblues]

Really great. Whats the guitar? Great sound.

[sophistikittenlin]

Triolian

[sidestreetreny]

I'm thinkin' prob 32' or earlier like mine, cus of the flat cut F holes, no? Could'nt say for sure without seein the back though. Holler.

[natureswhey]

The bomb...Fred would be proud..Thanks for this

Kevin

[aaron1tatamovich]

pierrevanbentum: slide players:you forgot to say johnny winter!!! john hammond!!

[pierrevanbentum]

Everybody knows Fred was great but there are so many other good slideplayers like Catfish Keith, Rollie Tussing, Ry Cooder, Johnny Shines and many many more great man and never the less off course Mark Nomad.

Go and see his other clip HEAVENLY BOUND, you'll understand. Hail to the BLUES.

[beefstew1069]

The man's name is Mark Nomad. This segment is from a TV show that I produced & hosted back around 1991. Beef Stew - 106.9 WCCC - Hartford, CT

[blueswilly7]

fine until he open his mouth

[lostintheblues]

Actually I think it's 'I've been drinking water out of a hollow log' by MFM.

Great tune

[theskinswxm]

awesome performance, anyone know who this is? i know the original is by fred mcdowell

[tetramin600]
