This Great Woman...was something else alright! Oh what a joy that we still have all her wonderful music and her powerful-bluesy voice to carry us all through to today, tomorrow and forever!
Big Mama...I love you and always will. Rest In Much Peace!
Made the absolute best recording of Houndog ever.
Died alone in a hotel room in Los Angeles. I never saw her live but Idid get around LA at the time. I did see a lot of today well know black musicians at the time.
I liked those day better than today.
But I am white and probably had a different perspective. At the time I cruised from the Mannhole in Hollywood to the Zebra Lounge on East Manchester. Of course points in between Great stuff.
wonder who played harp for her? I know she played harp herself at times but in this recording it sounds a bit like Little Walter or,,,,somebody.....dunno..maybe James Cotton.....sounds AMAZING. And shes just the utmost! hehe! Wow,,,,,I hope shes right...hope everythings gon' be alright. For everybody. xx Peace and love & thanks for posting. Blessings to ya. "Jenny"
@ReedBender1 I thought so but,,,,someone else also posted this and sure enoughit is James Cotton. Eerie how they sound so similar. And I usually know who's who hehe! Been playin harp since I was 13. I thought I had a good ear....dunno anymore tee hee! xx thanks tho and peace to ya. ♥ "Jenny"
@NoRosesForMe - ok thanks for that- Walter Horton & James Cotton both added a non intrusive/complementary feel to Muddy's style, & likewise on this track where the harp blends well.
I love Big Mama's "Rock Me Baby" Oregon clip-that's where she unleashes her formidable "harp power".........sheer Mama power.
This is a live performance recording, and still it sounds perfect! Most contemporary pop artists would sound like shit if they would try to record a song in live performance!
What can you say when you get to listen the the voice of GOD in this manifestation, but THANK YOU!!!!!!! AS a singer all I can say is I hope GOD shines through me like it shined through her. THANK you GOD for a glimps of what heaven must sound like!!!
there needs to be a absolutely love this song button, up there. This isn't just a thumbs up kinda thang, this is a throw your arms up and yell AMEN MAMA! whew.
