Waters's tribute album to the man who gave him his start on the Chicago circuit, this stuff doesn't sound much like
Broonzy so much as a virtual recasting of his songs into
Muddy's electric Chicago style. Evidently the first time
Waters and his band were recorded in stereo, the highlights include high voltage takes on "When I Get to Drinkin'" and "The Mopper's Blues," with some really great harp from
James Cotton as an added bonus. ~ Cub Koda
