songs you feel in your bones

Proper Mississippi Delta Blues played in Open d tuning with a bottle neck (Slide Guitar)
Fred took the open tuning & drone style from the north Mississippi & mixed it with the Famous Robert Johnson South Mississippi, Juke Joint style & came out with a style that's unique to him.

I can tell a Mississippi Fred McDowell tune in a matter of seconds before he begins to sing simply from the sound he gets from the guitar.

 
One of the most HAUNTING versions of Janitor of Lunacy I have ever heard.
The original by Nico is burned into my Mind, this one is even more ghostly.
