There were several tunes in tonight’s show that I thought were quite wonderful. One of them was this gorgeous tune by From The Mouth of the Sun:
Mention must also go to the Muddy Waters Blues Band release, Mud In Your Ear. Luther “Snake Boy” Johnson led the band on this one, when recorded in 1967. There were apparently contractual reasons why Muddy Waters himself could not lead the band. It stands up well and is recognisably Muddy in character.
