Dirty green water, a scum-coated cement bank and litter dumped on the edges. Plus, anglers and local residents who regularly bathe and wash clothes in the water body.
By now, you can probably surmise that my musical tastes are all over the map (except country and rap. I hate all but 1.5% of each). Anyway, one of my fondest memories of undergrad was playing Hearts or Spades at a friend’s place, booze and cigars flowing freely, and John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lightning [...]

I like me a good remake from time to time. Both Jeff Beck and Led Zeppelin successfully covered Muddy Waters’ “You Shook Me,” for example. And then there’s that great Aretha Franklin remake of Otis Redding’s “Respect.” And who can argue with Johnny Cash’s cover of NIN’s “Hurt”? But generally, I tend to prefer the [...]

"Where Have You Gone, John ?" Good question and excellent answers by Jonathan Atler*. McCain 2008 is definitely becoming a caricature of Bush 2004, and doesn't have much left in common with McCain 2000. Already swiftboated in muddy waters by 527 Groups**, Barack Obama is now being (...)
Sydney duo, The Black Ryder, are supporting Brian Jonestown Massacre in a few weeks in Sydney and Melbourne, so we checked in with singer Aimee Nash to see what tunes she’s getting down to right now. I Can’t Be Satisfied by Muddy Waters An old one, but a great one. I love everything about the song [...]
He's got some of the biggest shoes to fill in the history of blues, but Muddy Waters' son, Big Bill Morganfield leads three of his father's former compatriots through a stirring set of blues standards and new tracks. Morganfield's slide guitar is an excellent addition to the proceedings. ---by Earl Simmons ------------- 1. Diamonds At Your Feet (3:01) 2. Left Hand Blues (3:00) 3. I Just Keep Lovin'...
