Muddy Waters - Electric Mud - 180g LP

Electric Mud is to the blues what Dylan’s electric set at Newport was to folk—a kick in the pants to purists and a wake-up call in one. Which was undoubtedly the last thing Muddy Waters, a purist himself, wanted. And Muddy lucked out, because the blues are still the blues, for better or worse, while Electric Mud remains little more than an oddity. - Michael H Little, The Vinyl District
