MISSISSIPPI FRED McDOWELL


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. Though he scorned the amplified rock sound with a passion matched 

by few country bluesmen, he certainly had no qualms about passing any of his musical secrets 

along to his young, white acolytes, prompting several of them -- including a young Bonnie Raitt -- 

to develop slide guitar techniques of their own

Arhoolie's Delta Blues is one of the definitive Mississippi Fred McDowell albums. Recorded in 1964, 

this blues revival-era recording finds 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...(AllMusic
