Muddy Waters - Louisiana Blues download song

“The first guitarist I was aware of was Muddy Waters. I heard one of his records when I was a little boy and it scared me to death because I heard all of these sounds. Wow! What is that all about? It was great.” - Jimi Hendrix

I would like to thank you Muddy Waters, without you we would never had bands like The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds.

Such a "perfect" song. Just telepathy between the musicians on this one. And Muddy sounds SOOO cool the way he swoops his vocal lines, echoe'd by the harmonica and Muddy's guitar playing. Big Crawford's slap bass playing just propels the song beautifully. This song would NEVER have sounded right with a walking bassline. It would never have sounded right with Willie Dixon on bass either. And then they brought in Jimmy Rodgers for later tracks - deep !

well I love the blues and muddy da best

3 people don't know what it's like to have the blues.

Masterpiece! My favorite Muddy recording.

Blues in its purest form

In a weird way this masterpiece sounds like a whole darn orchestra! Amazing.

there used to be a hotel room in Slidell that had a portal to a parallel universe under the carpet . . .

4 trolls with thumbs down. Classic Muddy and Little Walter and early Chicago Blues. It doesn't get much better!

I love the legato opening where the cluster of notes hold back in suspense then flow like water cascading over a wier, as the music just falls into place and rides smoothly downstream. The tension at the beginning is wonderful, the poetic imagery is stunning as Muddy sings of going down behind the sun....raw and powerful, what a superbly crafted and very moving blues....one of my all time favourites along with Country Boy and Standing Around Crying.

great to listen to this wonderfull blues.
