5.0 out of 5 stars
Greatest Live McDowell Album,
By
This review is from: London Calling (Audio CD)
This album is much better than McDowell's work at the Gaslight Cafe. His playing on this record is ferocious and his singing is excellent. The lyrics are of great meaning and reach way back to the very beginnings of the Blues. Unfortunately, the last track, "Kokomo Blues", is cut off at the end. Despite this minor setback, this album is deserving of five stars. The packaging is also very nice, and is complete with spelling and grammar errors that we've all come to find in Blues albums' liner notes. I urge everyone to pick up "Live at the Mayfair Hotel" or "London Calling", which is the same record. This is truly excellent music that I couldn't stop tapping my feet to. "Standing at The Burying Ground" is one of the greatest songs McDowell ever recorded, and perhaps one of the best of the Blues Revival period.

This review is from: London Calling (Audio CD)
Fred is always a joy to listen to but live is just majical to me. He interacts with the audience and the whole cd has a wonderful quality, feels like listening to a performance on the radio live. If you have never listened to Fred McDowell this is a good one for a performance in the later years of his performing.
