Muddy Waters - Sings Big Bill

180g virgin vinyl, limited edition - complete album + 5 bonus track. Muddy Waters' presence was that of a king among blues guitarists, his style simple, but deeply rooted in the traditions of the Mississippi Delta that other singers and guitarists found almost impossible to imitate convincingly. On 'Sings Big Bill', Waters' electric recasting of Big Bill Broonzy's acoustic numbers is incredibly effective. The guitar work is earthy and throbbing, and never superfluous.
