Mama Says I'm Crazy album by Fred McDowell / Mississippi Fred Mcdowell / Johnny Woods was released Nov 12, 2002 on the Fat Possum label. On this country blues bonanza, Mississippi Fred McDowell is joined by harp man Johnny Woods for a 1967 session full of raw immediacy. Mama Says I'm Crazy songs McDowell's classic Delta fingerpicking/slide combination comes to the fore, matching Woods's big tone and insistent approach step for step, on a set that finds the pair digging into folk and blues chestnuts like "John Henry" and "Long Haired Doney" and investing them with new life. Mama Says I'm Crazy album McDowell was in his 60s at the time, but he sings with all the verve and power of a man half that age. Feat. Johny Woods;1967 Recorded in 1967.

Rolling Stone (3/6/03, p. 71) - 4 stars out of 5 - "... They lock into a fiery, wheezing rhythm that sounds like it could roll on forever..." Living Blues (5/03, p. 96) - "... McDowell's slide playing is smooth and sweet in spots, just as surely as it is raw an slashing in others while Woods' back-country harp style provides a perfect foil for McDowell's rough voice and guitar.
