Mississippi Fred McDowell, "You Gotta Move"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week it's back to 1965 for Mississippi Fred McDowell's version of "You Gotta Move" on Arhoolie...

"Most of us will have have first heard this hill country blues performed by The Rolling Stones on "Sticky Fingers" and although theirs is a pretty faithful cover of Fred's arrangement, there is that 'other dimension' to this version that can't be replicated. Evidently, he first started playing slide guitar using a pocket-knife, before switching to a meat bone and then finally settling on a glass slide." - KV
