[Notes]
Discovered by Alan Lomax in 1959, Mississippi Fred McDowell quickly established himself as one of the finest country bluesmen to ever come out of Mississippi. With his strong, nuanced vocals and his rapid, slashing slide style, McDowell had few equals. This collection pulls together several of his mid-'60s recordings, including his fine version of "Write Me a Few Lines." Recorded in Como, Mississippi, on February 13, 1964 with One Capps Condenser Microphone.
