"Regarded as one of the greatest blues albums of all time. Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Recorded in 1969, this album, as 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, and 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 US and UK. This album is a testament to McDowell's unique voice and guitar style, dominating the air and filling it with raw power and authenticity."

"One of the truly legendary releases in the cannon of the man who defined modern Hill Country Blues, Amazing Grace finds Fred McDowell playing with the Hunter's Chapel Singers in Hunter's Chapel of Como Mississippi. This 1966 release originally on Testament was one of the few records producer Jim Dickinson took with him to every recording session to make sure there was always some real shit present. The recordings also features Fred's wife Annie Mae. McDowell and company perform what the record subtitle calls 'Mississippi Delta spirituals' on this stark and moving set, which includes a version of one of his signature tunes, 'You Got to Move.' Limited edition of 500 on gold vinyl."

2021 restock. "Arguably the greatest recordings of the great Fred McDowell's career were the two albums for Arhoolie, recorded at the height of the blues revival in 1964-65. This is the first of those two and an absolutely stunning piece of delta blues majesty. Stripped down beauty that's reissued here with an exact reproduction of the paste-on sleeve. Includes download card."
