Title: Vocal growl ruins this
Product review: I'm a big fan of Johnny's work with Muddy Waters. And I'm familiar with Johnny's vocal style through those recordings and his solo work such as Still Alive And Well and the most recent I'm A Bluesman. I've also purchased the recent live concert release of Muddy, Johnny and James Cotton together following the release of Muddy's Hard Again. So Johnny's vocal style is no surprise.But here he reverts to this "growl" technique that for me ruins this otherwise fine CD. I think Johnny could have done just fine without it.(EDIT 8/10/10) I've lived with this CD for while, plus have greatly enjoyed the recent release of Johnny's Woodstock performance. I've pushed this review up one star, and I don't feel the same way about Johnny's vocals as I do today. This has become for me a key CD in the Johnny Winter/Muddy Waters Blue Sky period, and a must own for Winter fans.
