Recorded in Chicago 23 JAN ’51. 3 more cut at that session. All released JUL ’51, except for one. Little Walter played harmonica on Long Distance Call & Too Young to Know not guitar. But ‘Howling Wolf’ (w/o Little Walter) was released in 1970, on the LP They Call Me Muddy Waters (CHESS 1553). Why? Chess Records signed Howlin’ Wolf (“The Howlin’ Wolf”) a few months after this recording; so, to avoid confusion, this session souvenir was kept in the vault for a couple decades! :I:
One of my faves by Muddy...and there are a bunch of Muddy faves!!! You're right dsimango, the voice is golden on this one! The guitar just buzzes! Muddy was the consummate professional in every sense of the description.
Muddy Waters is too bad aass man.
