Album Notes & Community Reviews

A masterclass in hypnotic, droning acoustic guitar, 'Vol. 2' firmly establishes Fred McDowell as a giant of the Mississippi hill country blues style. The raw, intensely rhythmic performances are characterized by distinctive slide guitar techniques and profoundly deeply felt vocal deliveries.
