5.0 out of 5 stars
Must-have blues, December 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: This Ain't No Rock & Roll (Audio CD)
I very rarely write in to amazon, but...for anybody who is thinking about buying this disc, do it! Six months ago I ran across an old McDowell record in a used record shop. Without a doubt he is, in my opinion, the most gripping blues musician I've ever heard. The man has an INCREDIBLE voice, plays the guitar beautifully, and writes compelling songs. I've heard blues purists scoff at this album, because he plays an electric guitar on it, but the versions of songs here have all the passion of his classic acoustic versions, (and those acoustic albums of McDowell's are great records too)
