Description
xRecorded in 1963 with Buddy Guy on guitar, Willie Dixon on standup bass and Clifton James on drums, this album is a remarkably beautiful updating of the original Muddy Waters sound, and, the ONLY Muddy Waters acoustic album ever. All 14 tracks have been digitally remastered and the set includes 5 bonus cuts - classics like "The Same Thing," as well as rarities like "My John the Conqueror Root" (which is making it's reissue debut). Features original and updated liner notes. Muddy Waters started out playing acoustic blues in the Delta, and it shows on this return to his roots, designed to appeal to the mid-1960s surge of interest in folk music. The back of the CD includes a photo of Waters with bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon, as well as a very young Buddy Guy, gathered around a single microphone. This particular CD reissue includes five bonus tracks, among which are "The Same Thing" and "Short Dress Woman," which take advantage of the longer CD running time. All of the other reasons to hear this one remain--Waters's strong, confident voice, the relaxed smoothness of the material, and the surprisingly clean recording, made even cleaner by the digital remastering. --Genevieve Williams
