I love how everyone has a different cadence to the chorus. Harmonies today are so artificially augmented. Listen to that rhythm section rupture when Mr. Cotton starts playing that axe!
@Normanflapjackhands I LOVE the Wolf too, but they all had different contributions. Don't forget William Jefferson, Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson.
KID CUDI !!! ARE YOU KIDDIN ME! How dare you compare this legend to some run of the mill pants saggin, pop, want to be star. yo yo yo yo get a life , and a belt. and education and manners.
We owe this man so much respect, he has inspired some of the most inspirational rock bands of all time such as The Beatles, Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Doors etc... Jim Morrison's anagram of his name "Mr Mojo Risin'" was actually partly inspired by this song!
First time I heard this song I was in an Intro to Music class my freshman year of college, and we were studying Chicago Blues. I quickly fell in love with Muddy Waters and Chicago Blues
@meuccilawless It's James Cotton. He played harp on Muddy's studio recording of this song and at the more famous live version done at the Newport Festival.
I met Muddy in 1979 when I was 19. He was a kind, first-class gentleman that spent more than a half hour talking with me. He actually helped shape me into the man I am today.
When you hear great music all young people should have to take a music apperciation class, because most of them never heard of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin Wolf etc. Most of them think the 90's is oldies!!!
@johnnyw12 Amen, buddy! We gotta be careful, these guys were so influential and they are being forgotten by too many people. I saw James Cotton Blues Band in Atlanta several times back around 1969-70. At the time, many of the best white bands were blues-based (Led Zepplin, Stones, Canned Heat, Paul Butterfield, Allman Bros. Band, Johnny Winter, Cream, and on and on).
@dontmesswit73 not all black people are muddy waters dipshit. some black people suck, some are great. just like and race. why you gotta bring color in?
@SeagullTheFreegull hey ass hole i didnt say black people were great i sed *I* <3 black people thats my opion you might think some are dumb or ugly or w.e but *I* think they are all awesome without blacks all sprts would suck accept for the little ones like swimming nd stuff
can't believe that music is sooooo exciting but muddy just stays there sitting on his chair! i know it made me wanna get up. love it thanks for posting!
Wow! Love this song so much! In fact, I love it so much my band plays it :)
