Mississippi Fred McDowell Title - I Do Not Play No Rock ’N’ Roll LP
NEW. SEALED.
Jackpot Records
Recorded in 1969, this album, as McDowell’s titular quote
suggests, is not just a collection of songs but a significant
piece of musical history. It’s a masterclass, a confessional, a
musical statement, and a history lesson all in one. Despite its
seemingly simple nature, it’s a profound work. Regarded as
one of the greatest blues albums of all time, I Do Not Play No
Rock 'N' Roll is a must-listen, a testament to one of the
greatest musical forces that has directly influenced The
Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Black Keys & Bonnie Raitt (to
whom McDowell taught slide guitar).
In 1959, McDowell’s talent was first captured by folklore
musicologist Alan Lomax, and from there, he quickly rose to
stardom with his live recordings and festival appearances
across the US and UK. This album is a testament to
McDowell’s unique voice and guitar style, dominating the air
and filling it with raw power and authenticity.
