Muddy Waters - She's All Right / Sad Sad Day

Release Date:09/15/2017;Notes:Originally released as a 78rpm 10' shellac in 1953, Muddy Waters and his guitar power through no-frills folk blues A-side on She's All Right, which would later be completely turned on it's head incorporating full-on fuzzbox psychedelia on Waters' blockbuster album Electric Mud. Rhythmically, this older version's beat is an opiate, repetitive and soothing, that's gotta be played three times in a row for full effect. The B-side Sad, Sad Day would later be found on the London Muddy Waters Sessions dressed in draping psych, but this original version is a candid and teary-eyed lament complete with perfectly warbling guitar and harmonica interplay.
