About

Bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell managed to fly under the radar throughout the pre-war era and remained unrecorded right through the postwar rise of jump blues and the rock and roll explosion of the '50s. With a young Bonnie Raitt claiming him as one of her primary influences on slide guitar and the Rolling Stones covering his "You Got To Move" on their 1971 album Sticky Fingers, McDowell enjoyed the highest profile of his career during his final years on the planet. He was riding that wave when he stopped off at the Gaslight Café in Greenwich Village NYC on November 5, 1971. Fred was playing electric guitar with bassist Honest Tom Pomposello. McDowell's Gaslight sets were taped by Fred Seibert and initially intended for broadcast over the airwaves of Columbia University's WKCR-FM. Nine songs were selected for the 1972 album Live in New York, the inaugural release of Seibert, Pomposello, and third partner Dick Pennington's Oblivion Records label. A great many more additional selections recorded that night have surfaced since then, and they're also included on this bountiful reissue.
