"As a stylist and purveyor of the original Delta Blues, Mississippi Fred McDowell was superb. Equal parts Charlie Patton and Son House coming to the fore through his roughed-up vocals and slashing bottleneck style of guitar playing... He stood out from the rest of the pack by not changing his style one iota... He was born in 1904 in Rossville, Tennessee and was playing guitar by the age of 14 with a slide hollowed out of steer bone" - All Music Guide to the Blues
