Mississippi Fred McDowell - I Do Not Play No Rock ‘N’ Roll

Mississippi Fred McDowell — I Do Not Play Rock 'N' Roll

Regarded as one of the greatest blues albums of all time!

Limited edition Midnight colored vinyl

All-analog mastering from the original master tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

Originally released in 1969

Recorded in 1969, this album, as Mississippi Fred McDowell's titular quote suggests, is not just a collection of songs but a significant piece of musical history. It's a masterclass, a confessional, a musical statement, and a history lesson all in one. Despite its seemingly simple nature, it's a profound work. Regarded as one of the greatest blues albums of all time, I Do Not Play No Rock 'N' Roll is a must-listen, a testament to one of the greatest musical forces that has directly influenced The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Black Keys & Bonnie Raitt (to whom McDowell taught slide guitar).

In 1959, McDowell's talent was first captured by folklore musicologist Alan Lomax, and from there, he quickly rose to stardom with his live recordings and festival appearances across the U.S. and U.K. This album is a testament to McDowell's unique voice and guitar style, dominating the air and filling it with raw power and authenticity.
