Muddy's haunting, forceful vocals and down-home phrasing contribute greatly to this song's excellence. The call-and-response sequence between the electric guitar and the piano that takes place between 1:21 and 1:56 is just out of this world, proving the musical prowess of both Slim and Waters. Together, they create a hard-driving, bluesy sound that puts the listener in the mood and makes him/her feel as though they are right in the Delta. Posted by Zach on Thursday, 08/8/2013 @ 18:51pm |

A post-WWII Chicago blues scene without the contributions of Muddy Waters would be unthinkable. He was the one of the most important blues singers to emerge in the post-WWII blues genre, transforming the acoustic blues sound into an electric urban sound at a critical time in the blues scene.
