AMG reviewby Rovi
Mississippi Fred McDowell was one of the links between the blues' past (specifically: Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, and Son House) and the 1960s blues revival, where the music got a whole new young, white audience. Whereas some blues players attempted to modernize their style, McDowell's approach remained firmly rooted in the spacious, slide guitar-driven Delta (or country) blues.
SHAKE 'EM ON DOWN captures McDowell live and in fine form in New York City in 1971. His voice is hearty, yet high-pitched and eerie, and his slide playing is terse, razor-sharp, and ominous. This reissue contains a respectable mix of classic McDowell tunes including "You Got To Move," covered by the Rolling Stones, and blues standards like "John Henry" and Big Joe Williams's "Baby Please Don't Go."

GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
