Recorded in 1970. Includes liner notes by Pete Welding and Bonnie
Raitt.
Personnel: Fred McDoWell (vocals, guitar).
First of all, where the hell do you think
Bonnie Raitt learned to play
such sinful slide guitar, and at his feet,no
less? And besides, like the Lightnin’
Hopkins and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee recordings testify, you
don’t need no electricity to play and sing the blues.
Willie Hines
Q (7/96, p.142) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...A master of many skills,
McDoWell was a magical performer, a thrilling bottleneck guitar
player and a canny improviser with a penchant for plucking floating
verses and Weaving them into his performances. A true giant of his
genre."
