Mississippi Fred McDowell, a blues musician who embodied Hill Country blues with its hypnotic groove and left a profound legacy, is our focus here.

The piece in question is one of the most highly regarded in his catalog.

Originally derived from gospel, this song speaks of a vast fate beyond human control.

The intertwining of its mournful yet beautiful slide guitar lines and vocals that seem to address the soul directly is the very essence of the blues’ deep emotion.

The track is also famous for being covered by The Rolling Stones on their album Sticky Fingers, with an anecdote that they needed 19 takes in December 1969 to finally capture its essence.

McDowell’s version was recorded in 1965, so comparing the two makes for a fascinating listen.
