You know I'm a howlin' wolf, and I been howlin' all around your door
Well you know I'm a howlin' wolf, and I been howlin' all around your door
If you give me what I want little girl, and you won't hear me howl no more
You know when I get-ta howlin', I dig me a hole down in the ground
Well when I get-ta howlin', I dig me a hole down in the ground
Some people call me a black panther, but my baby, she knows the way I sound
I'll howl so long, ya know it make my time go slow
I'll howl so long, if you give me what I want little girl
And you won't hear me howl no more
Well when I get-ta howlin', they call me "Too Bad Jim"
Yeah when I get-ta howlin', ya know they call me "Too Bad Jim"
You know I get so bad sometime
I get real bad..., and I be jumpin' from limb to limb!

This song is one of the epitomes of what comes out of magic, when everyone is in the pocket and the groove is so tight it's like the entire group is psychic. Magic. I think Muddy Waters inspires that in anyone with whom he performs. I agree... miss you so much, Cynaera... |

| shellbella (so california) | Posted: Nov 06, 2012 - 09:11 I so love Muddy Waters!! Johnny Winter is an amazing guitar player, but his voice just kills me... It sounds like that noise my cat made when I accidentally stepped on his tail.... |
| neuticle (fog fog fog) | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 10:48 I do believe I hear me Johnny Winters on guitar drunk out of his mind... |

Not sure why his name is not mentioned more often. He had a birthday recently, the local station did a special about him. Quite amazing, easily up there with those other legends. |

Any suggestions on others to check out similar to Muddy? Well, my suggested and favorite blues artists does not really sound like Muddy Waters, but if you want true original blues, IMO, there is none better than Leadbelly!  |

| Pyro | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 12:54 TheJack wrote: For those of you wondering about the source and band - this is from "Muddy 'Mississippi' Waters Live" from 1979. The band is Muddy Waters on vocals and guitar, "Pine Top" Perkins (piano), James Cotton (harp) and additional guitar from Johnny Winter and Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson This is one of the series of albums that Muddy collaborated with Johnny Winter which inlcudes, "I'm Ready", "King Bee" and "Hard Again". If you like Muddy these are good recordings from the later phase of his career. bump cuz the collaborations with Winter are GOOD |

| calypsus_1 | Posted: Nov 13, 2008 - 12:52
yes! this is the charismatic and legendary Mr. Muddy Waters "The Father of Chicago Blues", born McKinley Morganfield; excellent album called Muddy "Mississippi" Waters - Live, taking care of that he was recorded a live in 1979, with the limitations of recorded of this time; not as now the digital writings, that since the raw matrix of the studio original, are remade and modified with cosmetic (of comparable laboratory to the Photoshop but for music) after-production will be music that they delude some defects and incapacities of the musicians, and that they make them parac better er of what in the reality they are. ** 9 ** |
