Whether using a steak-bone to fret his axe or some other more conventional slide tool, McDowell's ringing guitar technique was a living link to the pre-war era, the perfect complement to his thoroughly compelling vocals. Although he was quot;discoveredquot; late in life, by the time Fred McDowell passed away of cancer on July 3, 1972 in Memphis, he'd triumphantly made up for lost time, leaving behind a blues legacy that will never be forgotten. The slide guitar master's classic 1969 London Sessions, featuring the hits that influenced a generation of rockers including the Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt and Hot Tuna.
