The Front Porch Blues Show
BJ & JD Esquire & mario
Big Dave here, swapping timeslots with BJ for the week. This show is made up entirely of alumni of the Muddy Waters band! Muddy's impact on blues and popular music is incalculable, but he also had an unerring knack for picking talented sidemen. Today, I'm going to feature solo work from many of them, including Little Walter Jacobs, Otis Spann, Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin, Jerry Portnoy, and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith. Muddy's 'comeback' band from the "Hard Again" album pictured. Dig!
