Chicken Shack came out at the tail end of his career but you would never know it (tragically he passed away in 1976 from cancer while in his forties). There are some stingingly great electric blues lines on this long player.
His history with Muddy Waters goes back to 1966 when he joined the great one's backing band.
Among The Muddy Waters Blues Band on this occasion are Otis Spann on piano, Muddy Waters on guitar and George 'Mojo' Buford. As you can imagine they are superb!
Luther himself has a great voice, as well as being a talented guitarist. It's tough picking a highlight - each track is great.
