I made a cassette tape of this album that my college roommate had in 1971. It was one of my prized posessions, dragged it from Louisiana to Texas, California, Iowa, Canada and back to Iowa I think I might still have it, but haven't needed now that I can pull it up on KZbin.

Mississippi Fred McDowell is probably my favorite bluesman. And that´s sayin´ sumpin´!

Agree!!!

[@randybeard6040]

In my Humble Opinion, Fred McDowell was one of the Greatest Blues Pickers in History of Music--he just has a special way of picking, must be in that Steak Bone...

I started school one Monday morning...I throwed my books away. "I wrote a note to my teacher: I'm gonna try 61 today!"
