[edit] North Mississippi Blues
The article states, "McDowell continued to perform delta blues much as he had for decades" but according to Peter Noble in the liner notes for the AIM Records release Aim 0012 Mississippi Fred McDowell: Train I Ride there is a distinction to be made between Delta Blues and McDowell's style:
"The area where Mississippi Fred McDowell lived is known to have a 'North Mississippi Blues' style, as against the 'Mississippi Delta Blues' style to be found 100 miles east and along Highway 61 and the Mississippi River, whose centre is Clarksdale."
This article at Vintage Guitar Magazine on R.L. Burnside, also a North Mississippi style performer, supports this statement: http://www.vguitar.com/artists/details.asp?ID=205

[edit] date of birth
someone listed it as jan. 12 1904. mcdowell was quoted more than once stating that he did not know exactly when he was born. if there's no source other than the headstone this should be fixed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.225.239.203 (talk) 07:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fred McDowell.jpg
Image:Fred McDowell.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
