A+++ My Best Buy In the Last 4 Years & I got it used for $6!

"I question some of these reviewers musical tastes. I previously had not gotten this CD because the CD packaging looks shoddy and I thought the CD itself must be shoddy- boy was I wrong. I think the performances are utterly wonderful on these tracks, Bo is Bo, Muddy is Muddy, Wolf is Wolf, not some polite watered down versions of themselves which almost always happens when superstars collaborate.
I can't say enough about this album. To me this is rocking blues the way its suppose to be played, a fun go for it attitude! The people who are giving this a bad review probably think that the only true blues is that to be played in the cotton fields by a bunch of poor black people not the Chicago electric elite! I lucked out and got this album used for close to nothing. Buy this album. You'll love it!"
A Mess of the Blues

"This album is a follow up to the previously released album Super Blues. The first album had Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and Little Walter. This album substitutes Howlin' Wolf for Little Walter. The album features a jam session featuring the three stars, with legendary bluesmen Otis Spann, Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Guy and Clifton James lending support. They run through some of their best known songs. The performances are long and sloppy, but kind of fun. These songs aren't nearly as good as the original versions, but it's fun hearing these legends work together (and make fun of each other). This is by no means an essential blues album, but fans of these guys may want to get it anyway."
A REAL TREAT

"Despite what some of the reviewers state, this album is a real treat for fans of Muddy, Wolf and Bo. It's just alot of fun to listen to . I am a huge fan of Muddy and Wolf and to hear them interact and have fun with Bo Diddley is worth the price of admission. Any Blues fan should buy this album."
A must have collection

"I first heard this record when a friend checked it our from the library many years ago-about 1974. I thought it was a lot of fun then (I recorded it to a reel to reel tape that has all but worn out) and I find it just as appealing today. I'm glad to see it reissued on a cd. If you want to hear Muddy, the Wolf, and Bo Diddly playing around with the music, talking the talk, and having fun together, then this is a must have album. It's three greats playing around like they were sitting in a living room with a couple of beers and having fun."
Time of the Giants

"This record is made for everyone who wants to hear a good quality sound from history. Listen how the voices of Wolf and Muddy turns out to be bigger than life itself. Even when they are just joking with each other."
