Blues legend Muddy Waters and his piano player Otis Spann, with veteran Sam Lay behind the drum kit, teamed up with three young white musicians to record this 1969 album: Guitarist Michael Bloomfield, bassist Donald 'Duck' Dunn (of Booker T & the Memphis Group), and harpist Paul Butterfield.
The results are magnificent. 26-year old Paul Butterfield shows off some truly excellent harmonic playing, Dunn is rock-solid and funky, and the combined forces of Bloomfield and Muddy Waters himself produces some terrific guitar playing.
The sound is great too and Otis Spann plays some of the best blues piano you'll ever hear. (Review by By Docendo Discimus on Amazon)
For a recording from 1969 this album is a perfect example of how timeless the "Blues" are, the reviewer Docendo Discimus got it bang on.
Now 45 years later, just an amazing record, dare I say a Classic, loved it. Rating of 4.50.
