"The powerful Muddy Waters Blues Band of 1966 and the energy of Big Mama Thornton's vocals are a dynamite combination. Listen to a lot of Muddy and you might take the band for granted. Listen to this lineup of musicians with someone else and you realize this was portable, hot blues. Impeccable timing and understanding of smoldering nuance. Muddy was the master of timing and nuance. But Thornton was a powerful, important blues singer. And this was a great combination. Continual pleasure. Great blues. A thousand cuts above good. More power in a pause here than in an entire heavy metal concert.
