Some of my favourite McDowell tracks.

His best album is this comp of his early work.

I'm a sucker for American folk, but Nico's solo as a whole leaves a larger impression on me. Seems like the best matchup out of this week's batch, I think.

My vote goes to Mississippi Fred McDowell. I really like Nico, but I just love McDowell's deep deep blues. The wail of his slide guitar is just haunting as hell. "You've Gotta move" is impeccable.

Some days "Afraid" is my favorite song ever. More so than any Joy Division or VU.

Another documentary you should all watch after "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" :

"Nico Icon" (1995)

This exactly. McDowell is fabulous, but Delta blues musicians are generally one-trick ponies. Nico's work is just brilliant in so many different ways.
