Blues for Aficionados

The Muddy Waters Tribute Band

YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME (When I'm Dead and Gone)

Telarc Blues    1996

Notes: "Muddy Waters, hallowed be thy name.  As the prime architect of Chicago Blues, this blessed son of Mississippi Delta sharecroppers belongs to to the celestial hierarchy of American originals.  With a manner of musical expression rivaling the break of day for simplicity and rightness, Waters let his deep, rumbling voice and deft bottleneck playing resonate in now-classic songs that vented the hopes, dreams, joy, heartbreak, and pain of disenfranchised blacks living in the industrial North after World War ll.  In doing so, Waters cut the cornerstone for rock'n'roll and marked popular culture for all time."

KIDNEY STEW IS FINE

Delmark   1993

Notes: "The occasion here is the only time that Vinson, McShann and T-Bone Walker appear together on record.  Would that it could have happened more frequently!  Another southwesterner , Oklahoma-born Hal Singer is on tenor, but he is given relatively little to do.  Vinson did not like what he called "a lot of music" behind his vocals."

Recorded in France by the Black and Blue Label.
