I`m looking forward to this. I have a Mississippi Fred McDowell that was recorded by by Alan Lomax in Como, Mississippi in September 1959.

The legendary folklorist Alan Lomax had a car outfitted with field recording equipment. He drove across the country, making thousands of these "field recordings", including some by a then unknown Muddy Waters, Leadbelly and many more. These recordings are preserved at the Library of Congress.
