"That's Alright" is basically Fred McDowell's take on "Hobo Blues" by John Lee Hooker, which was an extremely popular song amongst the Hill Country artists. One of the few non slide McDowell tunes the vocal is sung over the C shaped chord, in place of barring on the fifth fret, and the licks that follow revolve mostly around the third fret. The typical boom-chuck McDowell rhythm is applied.
