McDowell was born in Rossville, Tennessee in 1904. He settled in Como, Mississippi in 1940 where he worked as a farmer while playing music on weekends. He was recorded in 1959 by roving folklore musicologist Alan Lomax and Shirley Collins. With interest in blues and folk music rising the recordings caught the attention of blues aficionados and performed at festivals and clubs internationally.
