Mississippi Fred McDowell - Mississippi Fred McDowell '1969

Tracks list

When Mississippi Fred McDowell proclaimed on one of his last albums, I do not
play no rock & roll, it was less a boast by an aging musician swept aside by the
big beat than a mere statement of fact. As a stylist and purveyor of the
original Delta blues, he was superb, equal parts Charley Patton and Son House
coming to the fore through his roughed-up vocals and slashing bottleneck style
of guitar playing. McDowell knew he was the real deal, and while others were
diluting and updating their sound to keep pace with the changing times and
audiences, Mississippi Fred stood out from the rest of the pack simply by not
changing his style one iota.
