Cool and Cruising. Great and a bridge between old blues and a new era of 60s music. Cool to think of how Muddy Waters was in the same blues world as Robert Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers, and other myths from the misty dark pre war years in the south, but also forged a link to the new artists beginning in the 60s some of whom are still alive now. His music provides that same link to the past as his life does, starting with acoustic Robert Johnson type blues but moving into electrified Newport Festival blues rock. Great music, great history, still feels sharp now, still goes hard. I like that they were grooving so hard on one song that they just ran it back. Highlights: All the songs
