Listening to this in April 2024 and I am 72 and still enjoying the blues.

My name is Marty. I’m from Louisville Kentucky. I am 71 years old and and I have been listening to the blues since I was in junior high school. I appreciate that you have posted “Baby Pleae Don’t Go” by Mississippi Fred McDowell.

He’s brilliantly accompanying himself with sounds like a whole orchestra behind him.
Respect this brilliance.

I’m 85 this year and If I love another day, I have had a wonderful, life listening to Blues from the masters. ❤

[cjim]

Heard him in Chicago sometime around 1970. My companion said "He doesn't choose to play the blues, He HAS TO play the blues". Great bluesman.

[francescozani]

This sounds like an ole 1000 hp locomotive, battering the rails while taking off, at full load and full steam.

[tresero]

[jamesbradshaw]

Just 1 brilliant man with a battered old guitar with 6 wire strings, producing more power them most hardest rocking bands or the world-famous Hoover Dam, I just feel it in my bones that a few people are not going to agree with me but they be wrong.

[ThomasKnight-gr]

I'm only 65 and I'm just now finding the blues on my cell phone and hearing the blues for the first time in my life.

[mintz]

Im 50 b.c and I think this is great keep it up!

[iftex-qkgo]

Genius... Blues.... What can You you Traveler...

[joannebeauchamp]

Mississippi Fred McDowell’s version of this song is the BEST I’ve ever heard! It’s so lowdown and gritty, yet contains SO MUCH EMOTION! His guitar playing was unequaled...no one could even come close to copying him!

[Barock-mtbc]

I am a 50 year old heavy metal banger. I listen to this, because black blues is the root to all good rock.
Also, because harmonica is the only instrument I can play.
And simply, because I love it 💖

[jadeb]

love the photo at 3:08 and how she is looking at him with love. this is a genre that can not be brought back. it can only be cherished for what it was.

[nonewherelistens]

Saw him in Philadelphis a month before he died in what turned out to be a living room concert with about 25 other people. Most memorable show of my life. I think I was 23 at the time. He was and is a legend.

[MerleHeidi]

His guitar sings along with his voice. His guitar talks deep blues.
