Muddy Waters - The Johnny Winter Sessions

Raven presents The Very best of The Johnny Winter Sesions 1976-1981 by the legendary MUDDY WATERS. Muddy is one of the undisputed gigants of the post-war Chicago electric blues scene. Born McKinley Morganfield, a product of the fertile Mississippi delta, he relocated to Chicago in 1943 where he began recording for the Chess brothers´ Aristocrat label. He scored hits with “I Can´t Be Satisfied”, “Honey Bee”, “Mannish Boy”, “Trouble No More”, and many other landmark blues songs.

By the mid-1970´s after a period of steady worldwide touring but little quality recording activity, his studio fortunes were resuscitated by one of his legions of disciples, guitarist Johnny Winter. Signed to Columbia subsidiary Blue Sky, Muddy recorded four hard-edged, timeless, back-to-basics albums with Winter that remain classics of the genre.

 

  Backed by Winter and the likes of Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, Jimmy Rogers, Big Walter Horton and Jerry Portnoy,  Muddy just roars like a lion from go to whoal
