About

Tracks: 1. Long Distance Call 2. Medley: Ooh Baby & Wrecking My Love Life 3. Sweet Little Angel 4. Spoonful 5. Diddley Daddy 6. The Red Rooster 7. Goin' Down Slow Recorded: September, 1967 at Ter Mar Studios, Chicago. Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar) Howlin' Wolf (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica) Cookie Vee (vocals, tambourine) Hubert Sumlin (guitar) Otis Spann (piano) Buddy Guy (bass) Clifton James (drums) Featuring Bo Diddley stubbing his toe on a wah-wah pedal, Wolf and Muddy clearly ill at ease trying to sing songs they don't know and a super annoying female chorus giving out banshee shrieks approximately every 45 seconds, this is one very chaotic, untogether super session to try and wade through. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide 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.
