    Master Mcdowell In the Groove!
    One of the Best of His Generation that Took the Folk Blues to the Electric Guitar

    One man and a guitar conveying more truth and emotion than an entire symphony orchestra.

    Fred plays rhythm and lead at the same time on one guitar

    One of my favorite things about Fred's playing is when he forgot the words and just let his guitar sing for him. Absolute legend.

      I just got Levee Camp Blues, a collection of hitherto unreleased 1968 recordings that had escaped my completist attention, and in the liner notes, Fred says , "As you're playing, words will come to you. Sometimes the guitar will make you think of the words, almost like it's talking to you." And vice versa! Fred had an absolutely mystical connection to the stone blues.

    Not being pedantic, but the preamble before the playing is wrong. McDowell is NOT a harbinger of the Delta Blues. He is 100% Hill Country Blues, aka Juke Joint Blues. They are two very different styles.

      I get you mate, I think back then those filming and archiving these amazing artists were still unsure of genres and all that within the blues. At least they had the good foresight to film them so we can watch them some 50-60 years later

      Yes the Hill music was closer to the original African hypno-trance rhythms.
      RL Burnside continued the tradition

    This is NOT Rock and Roll. Fred McDowell doesn’t play rock and Roll.
