Album Notes & Community Reviews

For this monumental session, the legendary Muddy Waters pianist was famously backed by the core members of Fleetwood Mac, minus Mick Fleetwood. The transatlantic collaboration proved to be an overwhelming success, with Peter Green's fluid, empathetic guitar work perfectly complementing Spann's masterful barrelhouse piano and deeply expressive vocals.
