REAL '60s BLUES WITH SLIDE GUITAR THAT RINGS SHARP AND CLEAR

MISSISSIPPI FRED McDOWELL

DELTA BLUES

\ USA - ARHOOLIE - F 1021

CLEAN SCARCE and sought after old pressing in TOP shape by the legendary Mississippi Fred McDowell ...arguably his best album, recorded in 1964 ...

Real blues that moves crisply forward with a rhythm that is indistinguishable from the music itself. Tight, succinct guitar playing. Slide guitar playing. The treble rings sharp and clear against the hollow depth of wood. The vocal delivery, almost dry and terse, somehow couldn't express more. You sense this music is coming from a very rich place. This isn't Chicago. This is real.

Mississippi Fred McDowell was one of the last of the original delta blues artists. He is noted for his bottle-neck guitar work, which is well represented here, as are two field recordings with his mentor, the elusive Eli Green (the only recorded representations of his work). Mississippi Fred McDowell is perhaps best known from songs covered by the Rolling Stones (who performed "You Gotta Move" on STICKY FINGERS...Culled from two sessions, recorded in 1964 and 1965 respectively, this blues revival-era recording finds Mississippi McDowell at his very best, performing powerful versions of traditional Delta blues songs, as well as a handful of originals. McDowell recorded many fine albums, but this is arguably his best.
