The prewar slide-guitar master Mississippi Fred McDowell didn't get his due 'til the late '60s. This 1971 performance at the Gaslight in Greenwich Village was intended for broadcast on Columbia University radio; nine of these selections ended up on the 1972 LP Live in New York, but this remastered 2-CD set brings you many more riveting performances from that show: Shake 'Em On Down, Someday Baby, Baby Please Don't Go, Get Right Church, Red Cross Store, Good Mornin' Little Schoolgirl, My Babe, White Lightnin', Louise and more!
