Places I remember: Electric City Music and Video (Napier)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: I'm A King Bee
Gear costume: Mean Old Frisco Blues
Active compensatory factors: The last Muddy Waters' studio album is excellent - the man's powers are undiminished on this final set.

This one is the third in the trilogy of albums Muddy recorded with Johnny Winter for Blue Sky. It's got a slightly checkered history but it still sounds like the other two albums to me.
There is a lovely variety of material here (Johnny's slide work on I Feel Like Going Home is terrific) and the same sense of spontaneity that the other albums have.
Where do they all belong? What a career! Starting in the 1940s - Muddy Waters has always been the real deal. Choose any recording of his and it's drenched in real life. The great thing is that as a punter you can dip into any decade and be rewarded with heartfelt blues, Muddy style.
