Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter & James Cotton Great American Radio Vol.6 (2-CD)

(Floating World Records) 15 tracks
This inexpensive double CD is a concert recording by Johnny Winter for Boston radio station WBCN, and recorded at the Boston Music Hall, in Boston, Massachusetts, on February 26, 1977.
By 1975, Winter was tired of working in the rock and roll mainstream and returned to his first musical love - The Blues.

Collaboration with Muddy Waters he released the album Hard Again in January 1977 with this concert shortly after It is a wonderful, vibrant, febrile encapsulation of a bluesman enjoying his new career.
With harmonica hero James Cotton on board, along with the stock of Waters' regular touring band, you get precious gems like the Little Walter classic, "Help Me," which swings like a demon.
Freddie King "Hideaway" before Winter takes the mic on "Blues With A Feeling" and burnished the sound with his inimitable lead guitar.
"Mannish Boy" is a gutsy delight with Waters' laconic vocals rounding out the hearty bluesy crunch in magisterial style.
Closing with a delightful "I Got My Mojo Working," this performance offers more proof that Muddy Waters was not content to freewheel through his stage performances even in his final years.
