Electric Mud, it's not regarded as one of his best albums but I really like his electric / band approach here on his songs. Esp. Let's spend the night together. It seems like he is showing his 'little sons' here how it's done!
I need to say that Electric Mud is a horrible record - it looks like the master of the blues is making himself embarrising big time by trying to be 'hip' and follow the trends. I read a Muddy biography and the maestro himself wasn't very happy either about the results or the process of creation. Yep, as an document of one idiot acid head experiment in '68 it is a nice to hear one time or two, but after that I can help but feel sorry for the great man - the photo of him in the cover tells it all.
