Electric Mud Revisited

Filed under: add to del.icio.us

Confession time: I actually liked the Muddy Waters album Electric Mud back in the day. Ielectricmud.jpg guess that’s because my ear was more attuned to Jimi and the Jefferson Airplane than Muddy, BB, Albert, and the rest. Now that I’ve spent a lot more time with the Kings, I agree with Muddy: the album is “dog s***”. But it sold well (Muddy didn’t mind that), and you definitely can hear the echoes in all kinds of stuff from Big Brother and the Holding Company up to the Black Keys and the White Stripes. Read an interesting retrospective on this album here.
