Product Description: 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.


Review: I can't believe how this album could have had any negative reviews on it. I can't think of another album off the top of my head that has three masters of their genres getting together and jamming. The people that wrote the negative reviews must have been expecting songs that were written together and rehearsed, but I don't think the project would have worked if they took more than one day. As legendary as these guys are, we should just be thankful that ego didn't prevent them from getting together just for one day and having a good time jamming. And that's what this album is: a document of a day that three geniuses got together and had a great time doing what they love, playing the blues.
So no, these songs aren't tightly written and rehearsed. These songs are somewhat long, freeform jams that these three titans of the blues just got together one day and jammed on with no preparation. There's "hooting and hollaring" and joking around, and they're all having a good time and giving each other a good natured ribbing from time to time. But they seem to still be respectful of each other so no one really seems to try to jump out and steal the show. Just jamming and having a good time playing the blues like only they know how. Just understand that, and if you're still interested in hearing what happened that one day that the planets aligned *just right* and got these guys together (despite the well known rivalry between a couple of them), plunk down the roughly seven bucks this gem can be found for. Its a *steal*!
Oh! Did I mention Hubert Sumlin (legendary blues guitarist and one of Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarists) and Otis Spann (legendary blues piano player) are in on this jam session? C'mon people… Who's writing a negative review on this?! Appreciate things for what they are, not what you expect them to be! ~ Amazon Customer
