{"title":"Mississippi Fred Mcdowell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican 'hill country blues' singer and guitarist, Mississippi Fred McDowell, was born on January 12, 1906 in Rossville, Tennessee. He gained recognition after being recorded by Alan Lomax and Shirley Collins during their Southern Journey field-recording trip in 1959. McDowell's field recordings caught the attention of blues enthusiasts and record producers, leading to his career as a professional musician. Renowned for his mastery of slide guitar, he continued to perform in the north Mississippi style throughout his life. McDowell's influence extended beyond traditional blues circles as he coached Bonnie Raitt on slide guitar technique and inspired The Rolling Stones with his song \"You Gotta Move.\" He passed away on July 3, 1972 in Memphis due to cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar Artists: \u003ci\u003eSon House\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBukka White\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlind Boy Fuller\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlind Willie McTell\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLightnin' Hopkins\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlind Willie Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCharley Patton\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSkip James\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMississippi John Hurt\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Big Joe Williams\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Big Bill Broonzy\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Mance Lipscomb\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Furry Lewis\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Jessie Mae Hemphill\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-complete-friends-of-old-time-music-concert","title":"The Complete Friends of Old Time Music Concert","description":"\u003cp\u003eBessie Jones, John Davis, and the Georgia Sea Island Singers gained wide renown during the 1960s and '70s for their powerful performances of traditional songs from the African American Gullah Geechee community on St Simons Island, Georgia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smithsonian Folkways","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50427261649227,"sku":"2200197","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_d0bf3b95_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726823534"},{"product_id":"mr-hurt-goes-to-washington","title":"Mr. Hurt Goes To Washington","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Best of the Washington D.C.
