 Rating:  - Definitive "live" Muddy Waters recordingThis album is so good it should be mandatory listening before any young punk even thinks about playing guitar.

The next year he was too acoustic and quiet. From the sound of this one, he finally got it just right. This is not a barn-burner. Oh, it has plenty of energy, but if you're looking for the jolt found on his Blue Sky-era recordings, you're going to be a bit disappointed. This is smoother blues. Not mellow, but not as rowdy.
