I was born in the right era

[stegg17]

BEST HARMONICA SOLO EVER

[SuperMoo2TheRescue]

@stegg17 Was it little walter do u know??

[mwngw]

@stegg17 ...listened to harmonica for 40 years, and I agree...it's the best ever.

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

Can someone give me a name of a bad old delta-bluesman?

[hitthatperfectbeat]

@ihaveallseeingeyes Son House and Mississippi Fred Mcdowel!

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

@hitthatperfectbeat Fred is really good

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

@hitthatperfectbeat and son house you motherfucker is one of a kind. 

[85Rising]

the Smith version is the best.

[MichaelLebury]

One person doesn't like real music...tisk tisk... This is freaking awesome!!!!!!!

[mnpd007]

Songs like this were very racy in the middle of the 20th Century... even immoral and vulgar.  Only the Blues had such, and periodically movements would pop up around the country warning people not to buy "Negro records."

[kingpeonstpierre]

wow great sound quality awesome THANKS

[MsApple332]

@jessegguitar not to sound retarded but, I KNOW!! Rock on :p

[MsApple332]

I'm 26 years old, and have loved oldies since I was 12. I will take oldies any day over the crap that's played mainstream and underground. I LOVE this music!!!

[jessegguitar]

@MsApple332 you dont know the underground... this was fuckin underground... still is

[romamruin]

- he don't want your opinion - he jus' wanna butter your bread & take yor' Shiela to bed! Now gimme summa yor money...

[suitman36]

one of my life's highlights was getting to meet muddy waters. sat with him, in the early 70's, in his dressing room. this was in boston at a little club he performed at. i was in total awe to be in the same room as this legend. and he was just a regular guy.....you could talk to him about anything you wanted. best part was he had a bottle of champagne delivered to him before each show....and he would drink the whole thing! nobody even got offered a drink....which was fine with me!!

[bluzebaby]

@suitman36 Total awe would've been right...what an experience you can share with your kids and grandkids.

[Cincinnatus1869]

when i was a teen I used to be fond of saying " The English classic rock bands took American blues and improved upon it ! " I was so wrong then . This kind of music cannot be improved upon .It is perfect in every way . Muddy , Howlin Wolf , Lighnin Hopkins , Leadbelly , that is where its at . ( And yes I still love the classic rock bands )

[bazmitch]

Such an atmospheric recording.

"i was born in the wrong era"

"the music made today is shit"

Honestly, shut up? Isnt i better that you are born now? You can look back and appreciate the music but also do the same with some of the great music made today. Yes there is some rubbish music made today, but there was to back then. Not every artist was as good as Muddy Waters, BBKing, Etta James or others. its just that the bad ones were forgotten, or even worse, remembered for being so bad.

[Shakermaker1995]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes

Nope... you get the best of both worlds. The few good bands of today and all the good bands of yesteryear.

[Manu9078]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes

THANK YOU for posting this. I've been getting tired of the same thing (born in the wrong era, etc)

[brinpol]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes A big AMEN to every word you said.

[southwriter]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes There is NO good music today, unless it's in jazz.

[scottelliottmusic]

@southwriter You just dont know where to look....or are to lazy to try. This stuff would have been harder to find in 1954 segregated America than you'd imagine. It was more popular in England than anywhere else. Thats why the Brit rock bands were sooo much better. Brits still have better taste in music today. Americans just like their music like fast food, total poison engineered to trick your brain into liking it from the first exposure and obnoxiously accessible.

[southwriter]

@scottelliottmusic You last sentence just proved my point.

[scottelliottmusic]

@southwriter How? My entire response was that this music was just as hard, if not harder, to find back in its time as good music is now. This was out in the 50's, but a vast majority of America was not aware of it, just like good music is around now, but you would never know if you didnt really look hard for it. I guarantee not many record shops carried Muddy Waters in the 50's. You had to mail order it. Now we have the internet and you can find awesome unsigned artists.

[scottelliottmusic]

@southwriter Back then you had to be discovered, then signed, then recorded, then pressed into vinyl, then distributed, then bought by smalltime record shops, then bought by people who took a chance with no preview of the music. The fact that this stuff was out there is a miracle in itself. Now you can go on any number of music sites and find plenty of artists who are light-years better than the mass produced crap on the radio station (yes i said THE cuz their might as well only be one)

[freshprinceofbalham]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes TRUTH

[surrealIdeal]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes at last someone has said it.

[lagmuncher]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes Instead of bitching why don't they DO something about it... I write music everyday,

[voodoochild1311]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes Amen bro

[ferox965]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes well said...lemme add to that. the fact that someone discovers it now is all that matters in the end right? it is all there to be discovered whether you are 14 or 94.

[CPedersen16]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes i think the reason complains about the artist today compared to the past is.. We can't go to any Jimi Hendrix concert.. we can't go to any guns n roses concert(real gnr) we cant go and watch many of the greatest artists live, and thats what i envy :/

[JoshuaEdHarryStokes]

@CPedersen16 That is a fair comment, and I understand completely, and in fact agree with it. The thing i found annoying about those who say that was to appear 'cool' in some way. Or make sweeping statements about all music made today being dreadful and lacks any emotion or feeling.

[nuudory]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes You're almost completely right. True, we can appreciate the older music now, and there is great music made today. But I think that what people who say that they are born in the wrong era, talk about not only the music, but the way people in general think, fashion, concerts, architecture, everything really.

It's like this, I don't want to be able to enjoy music only from my home.

And seriously it is true that this era, the 21st century, sucks. But I won't get into that now.

[JoshuaEdHarryStokes]

@nuudory Well, not to be rude, but I think that you’re looking back at past eras with a rose tinted view because of nostalgia. As, they were also big problems back then, but that would be getting away from the music. I also think that the era we live in now isn't that bad, and it is what we make of it. As because of digitalisation, we are able to talk, share views and opinions and it does also allow us to access music and culture that in previously we wouldnt of been able to.

[MistyMorning60]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes can you name 3 artist today who are as prolific and revolutionary as the 3 named in your statement?..you cant becuz they dont exist, i agree that there good and bad in each generation of music, but back then it was a lot of amzing artist and not many bad ones...why? cuz they had to rely on talent alone, no marketing!...toay there prob are a few artist who deserve to be reconized as "great" but the bad ones by far and away out weigh the good ones nowadays

[JoshuaEdHarryStokes]

@MistyMorning60 Well, i think we all agree that those artist are brillaint and legends in their own right, that is why i named them. Yes, i think I could, but I won't, not because I can't but for the same reason the question is stupid. Ignorance and narrowmindedness. and these sweeping statements that you make just aren't true.

[mtyemti]

@MistyMorning60 From Today:Tracy Chapman, Beyonce Knowles, Adele has potential, Lenny Kravitz, Chris Cornell, Jerry Cantrell.

[gauziski]

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes Dude, your comment was simply awesome.

[MetalMusicIsTheWay]

I love metal but i just can't ignore how awesome muddy waters & his kind are

[LadyRBlues]

Muddy muddy muddy...so d-mn good. This is my favorite version of this song.

[RustyChesterton]

Foghat's version is better.

[GuitarSG89]

@RustyChesterton You cant really compare the two. They are both execellent! Without this, you wouldnt have Foghat's. This is real down home raw blues.

[oohmammaoohmamma]

@RustyChesterton foghat is bland

[skryne1]

w/o this kind of music we would never have what we do now!!!!!

[vitalsfading]

One Person doesn't want to make love to you. lol

[EenterE]

Awesome

[oowee7]

He was the master of the blues. There is none better.

[choice2099]

Foghat still ownz this song.

[gentlemenjocard]

Smooth.

[keepitwitmine]

Bob Dylan's song "My Wife's Hometown" off his latest album, sounds just like this

[pritch1961]

Please see the Etta James and Foghat versions of this song - they are all really tasty!

[tylerpipe]

the real deal Reddog 2 thumbs up hell yeah

[boylemario]

@AlexSedgwick relax dude... take it easy

[Sheeraz20]

@AlexSedgwick word to that

[zorman1875]

This the dogs danglies.

[WEIR4EVER]

Great! Love the pic too

[jbjumpback]

Too bad the art of black blues is being forever lost...

.. replaced by cRap.

[hapzap13]

" THE MAN."

[Soniajamespaula]

This is a damm hot song ,I love it :)

[youlosez]

I don't want to listen to MTV's hits, I just want to listen to oldies with you!

[inevergiveup1402]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhh :-)

[Narapakjerag]

Greate song... yes I like better other versions, but it is always easy to remake a song than making a new one. If you copy make it better :)

[gitfiddlejim]

@Narapakjerag

Each to his own taste free opinions etc. So, could you tell us who you feel made a better version, Muddys was the first one of course.

[jessehardy]

i like this song but i think foghat's version is better

[clashrogers]

@jessehardy Etta James does a better version than that.

[iresibuh1988]

@clashrogers yikes... Are you crazy lol.

[JerryGruszecki]

hehe wow what a statement

[punkorama94]

@jessehardy Foghats is SO badass, even though this is pretty awesome too.

[pbuckles]

Foghat must've been thanking Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters, bigtime, for this one!!!

[blacksabbathgirl87]

love this song!! Muddy Waters is awesome, i also love the Foghat version!!!

[colddank]

Cadillac Records babe!!!!

[1Delta]

this is just plain mean. this exact version is one of my all time favorites of any kind of music.

the beat, the riff, the voice,....but what stopped me in my tracks was that harmonica part.

wow

[Rocko671]

God I love the Blues!

[magnum9987]

@Rocko671 Blues is king

[h4mburg3r]

keep this going!

[M4ulo6]

Damn right my friend!

[thatguythatyouknow69]

@hardrockerdave94 thats not rap man, raps alright, the commerial music your talking about is exactly that, a commercial

[leunamme888]

@hardrockerdave94

Well the answer is pretty obvious, evolution... everything changes and evolves... People has changed so music has changed with them, Techno and Hip hop and all modern mixed genres evolved from blues/rhythm blues, rock'n'roll and jazz. But you can always listen to the music you like... Time is not to be turned back.

[WEIR4EVER]

@hardrockerdave94 hahaha me too! Then we could do the Sixties all over again ooh YEAH

[razzfomoco]

@hardrockerdave94 not all rap is shit and not all blues or "50's" music is good. just because you dont like rap it doesnt mean its crap. rap is actually respected by alot of professors and writers. open your mind to music because its all good homie

[daniele83roma]

@hardrockerdave94 oh my gosh it's the better comment ever heard about ALL music

[rockbluesjazzcska]

@hardrockerdave94 how do I understand and respect You!!! I'm 15, and I've same opinions about music

[captainblewhard]

@rockbluesjazzcska Kid, there was a reason that "the blues" came from African Americans. Wishing it were the 50's again is insulting to the struggles and the progress we have made. I know you meant this innocently(at least I hope so) but you need to learn history too!

[captainblewhard]

@hardrockerdave94 You wish black people couldn't use the same bathrooms as white people? You wish black people couldn't walk down the same streets as white people? Dude, you have a lot to learn before you really understand what "the blues" were all about.

[ibanezdude2006]

@captainblewhard For what it's worth i wished no one could use the same bathroom as me

[captainblewhard]

@ibanezdude2006 AAAhh!!!! You got me there, dude! I hope you get what you wish for! A throne all to yourself!!! Peace!

[foosaydo]

@captainblewhard I think you over-reacted to hardrockerdave's comment... i believe he simply meant it as a compliment to 50's music.....everything doesn't have to be about race...unless you want it to be....

[hardrockerdave94]

@captainblewhard Hey, I didn't mean anything like that, I just mean musically speaking.

[funnycarrot]

@hardrockerdave94 fuck you noone cares what age you are you turtlefuck

[captainblewhard]

@funnycarrot The only reason that carrot is "funny" is because you shoved it up your ass 500 times.

[funnycarrot]

@captainblewhard ty

[Blusician1965]

@funnycarrot Hey tough guy, do you kiss your Mom with THAT mouth?

[funnycarrot]

@Blusician1965 NO I KISS YOUR MOM THO! BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blusician1965]

@funnycarrot That's kinda weird since she's been resting in Lincoln National Cemetery since 1972, But hey, who am I to judge.

[Lewbert]

@hardrockerdave94 @hardrockerdave94 agreed that today's music is in no way superior than that of say, 50 years ago, however rap & hip hop are still sick, you should open your mind a little & not cast out other genres, i mean, i loove blues & jazz as much as the next guy, but i also looove hip hop, techno, psytrance, drum & bass, etc

music is good man, don't ignore bits of it

[rockbluesjazzcska]

@hardrockerdave94 now You're 16 and I'm 15 and I completely agree with You

[ozxyeuwh]

@hardrockerdave94 I'm with you -- maybe you could be the one to help make it so!

[MikeG62]

Anyone that says this song is gay needs serious mental therapy. Good God, how many people have covered it? The Stones, Foghat, Rod Stewart, the list goes on. Yeah, "Drift Away" was a good song by Dobie Gray, and it's spouted a lot of good and horrible covers. Dobie took the piss out of it himself when he sat in on the Uncle Kracker version a few years back. Muddy is a legend. How many other hits did Dobie Gray have besides "The In Crowd"?

[Lukeblueslover]

Anyone that says this song is gay should have said that in front of Muddy...and after that they only could start to piss in their own pants!

[ckstarlet]

this song is perfect for a strip tease

lol

[Ermin0s]

@ckstarlet  Youre Damn Right

[1970louis323]

@ckstarlet :hahahha that's what I said when I heared Cliff Richard sing this song,

[50stevea]

hahahahaha the chick better b playing the harp too

[seegb]

@ckstarlet I was thinking the same before I looked it up :-)

[MsApple332]

@ckstarlet hahahaha....i just said the same thing about Etta James' version. As a woman...I thought hers was a little bit sexier and seductively paced for sexy dancing. This one is a bit too slow for my tastes, but I still love it and could make my guy go wild dancing to this as well!

[jvaeons911]

i love singing this song even tho its for women who sings this kind of song

[sfish6]

What he says baby

[russiaviation]

try drift away

[beh1310]

how?

[michaelm2fscomp]

heh heh.. great version, too....

[mike2sounds]

One of the first records I learn to play. No musicians these days have the soul and vibe of Muddy and co. We are a dying breed

[TheNewThink]

Damn how wrong you can be. Stop complaining. Stop listening to the radio, and start visiting the underground scene. That's where the real soul passion can be found.

But you're right about Muddy. They just keep on striking me. Love the feeling they give me.

[111weedman111]

no really, music today aint what it used to be. name a few underground bands and ill show you bands no one will remember.

[Lewbert]

@111weedman111 music today isn't the same, but that's not saying it's crap, can you still find some quality bands, most of the underground hardcore punk scene is sick, on the electronic front, noisia are and will always be one of the best producers of drum & bass among other sick electronic producers that aren't well known.And fair enough most of the chart music is totally gash, but there' still occasionally some good music, it just gets played to death, plus, Led Zeppelin never made the charts.

[NeverAloneForever]

@Lewbert They did with some of their earlier hits.

[aribasultan]

Love this tune, thanks so much for sharing
