I heard a song on a compilation from a thrift store that turned me on to I do not play no rock'n'roll. The album was Capitol's artist who they where trying sell to the"long hairs" and "groovy folks" but with that being said there was some good songs(album name is "The New Spirit of Capitol"). One that stood out to me the most was Red Cross Store by Mississippi Fred Mcdowell. Red Cross Store is one of the best slide songs I have ever heard. The introduction is very black southern blues about how he learned to play blues which was great to hear. I went on the hunt for this album and lucked out in a junk shop months later when I found it mint for ten dollars. Fred McDowell has a intimate connection with his guitar and his singing is one with his slide. This is his first time playing electric from with a band and I think it compliments him very well. There seemed to be a lot of great performances by Fred on this album. I'm sure if you enjoy blues this will please you!
Date Released:1969

This is My first post on this blog and I will start hosting the albums for download soon. I'm Trying to figure out this blog and how it will work as in writing and layout( I don't have time today). For now hang tight by being turned on to this album if you don't know it but If you do know the album let me know something I might dig.
