Other great versions:- Booker White - Of course, it's the original but the song may've been around before him recording it.- Bo Carter - With alternative topic and lyrics- Tommy McClennan - Raw- Big Bill Broonzy - Called "New Shame 'Em Down" like McClennan's. Featering one of the earliest electric - jazzy - guitar recording.- Big Joe Williams - BIG voice- Bobo Jenkins - I like the guitar tone- R.L Burnside & Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Heavy

best Shake em on down.This is with an electric guitar; wiki says his last record, a liver recording which was recorded in 1971, was the first time he played on an electric guitar; this performance was done not long before he died . . .

A lotta guys have their idols. Some say John Hurt, some says Blind Willie (Johnson or McTell, whichever), or Son House, or Leadbelly. For me? It's Mississippi Fred McDowell.And the worst part? I can't even get close to being able to play like the man. Love him until the end, though!
