All of it, though, is top-notch, and as I mentioned well-documented with the accompanying booklet inside. I'm a big fan of McDowell and have most of his early 60's records on Arhoolie, so this was a major find. Just one example: the Mississippi Fred McDowell track "Red Cross Store" on the first CD (there are 6 CDs, by the way), has to be one of the great blues-rock tracks of all time, in my humble opinion. I was simply just blown away, song after song, at the power of these songs, the arrangements, etc. Amazing, hard-to-find soul music that comes excellently packaged with beautifully-written and enlightening liner notes-a small book, actually-written by Rob Bowman (author of Soulville U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records).
