Struck as a callow youth by one of the greatest blues songs of all time this is a perennial favourite and I hadn’t heard Fred’s version here slow start fire burn, lifting, building and a’chooglin (it’s a word!) this’ll start the weekend for yew!
Here from the more recent discord of Sonic Surprises!
BABY PLEASE DON’T GO - MISSISSIPPI FRED MCDOWELL
1971
Hill country blues that won’t let go
Mississippi Fred McDowell turns this blues standard into a deep, rolling groove, his guitar and voice locking together with hypnotic force.
Recorded live, on November 5, 1971, at the MacDougal Street Gaslight II, in New York City.
This is actually the seventh version of Baby Please Don’t Go to appear on the blog, with a few of the others hiding in my Double and Triple Doses.
