Personnel includes: Fred McDowell (vocals, guitar).

Recorded in 1966.
The connection between rural blues and spiritual music is sometimes overlooked. This 1966 recording featuring Mississippi Fred McDowell, his guitar, and the Hunter's Chapel Singers of Como, Mississippi (including his wife Annie Mae), is one of the best illustrations of how closely the styles can be linked. McDowell and company perform what the record subtitle calls "Mississippi Delta Spirituals" on this stark and moving set, which includes a version of one of his signature tunes, "You Got to Move." ~ Richie Unterberger
