Um yah, perhaps I pulled the trigger a tad soon without considering the artists that paved the way for most. Mud to me is like aloe on a sunburn, salt on a tomato and sand on a beach..it just works. Blue's to me is the expression of the deepest ache, the harshest cut, the irony of lows and the playfulness of the highs. Muddy Waters without your influences I may never understand the grit, the rawness and feeling behind the bluuueeesssssss. Along side similar artists to Muddy Waters the flood gates opened ready
-Otis Spann
-John Lee Hooker
-Ronnie Earl
-Sam Lightnin' Hopkins
-Little Walter
-Elmore James
-Fats Domino
And the list continues, the doors keep opening as far as influences go. I can't get enough, in fact I couldn't shut it off even if I tried. I'm in too deep, I'm in muddy waters and I wouldn't want to be in any other place then right where I am.
This one's for you baby...
