Mcdowell, Fred

The Alan Lomax Recordings

Now also available on cassette are the first ever recordings of Fred McDowell, taped by Alan Lomax in 1959! On offer are 12 songs that highlight the depth of his repertoire, ranging from droning and hypnotic versions of songs that later became blues standards such as 'Shake Em On Down' and 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl' to his deeply felt renditions of spirituals s.a. 'Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning' The tunes are accompanied at times by some amazing hair comb playing and beautiful backup vocals. The stuff of dreams!
