Muddy Waters & Friends – Goin' Way Back (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Captured between gigs with no audience and no pressure, this session offers something rare: Muddy Waters and his working band stripped down to their Delta roots, playing for themselves. Otis Spann, one of the great Chicago piano voices, picking up an acoustic guitar instead tells you everything about the informal spirit of the afternoon.
The all acoustic Goin' Way Back was recorded in a single afternoon in a Montreal rooming house during a 1967 Canadian tour. In between shows, Muddy and his band gathered in a living room, armed only with acoustic guitar, for a spirited walk through threir collective blues memory. An interesting side note is that legendary pianist Otis Spann is confined exclusively to guitar here, as are the other members of Muddy's group. Goin' Way Back is a unique, appealing snapshot of the acoustic Delta roots that the Chicago blues godfather never abandoned. This Record Store Day Black Friday release is part of the Justin Time Essentials Collection.
