Muddy Waters Hollywood Blues Summit - Live At The Ash Grove July 30, 1971 (CD)

(Liberation Hall) 8 tracks

This previously unreleased 8-song set was recorded at the legendary Ash Grove Club in Los Angeles during the Blue Summit weekend (with Freddie King and Lightnin' Hopkins) from July 27 to August 1, 1971. The show was recorded not long before his infamous London sessions, which were one of his six Grammy-winning traditional-folk recordings in the '70s.

A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Muddy Waters is one of the most important singer-songwriters/guitarists of the post-modern blues era. His tours of the United Kingdom in the early 1960s inspired many British musicians, including the Rolling Stones, who named themselves after his classic song "Rollin' Stone." In the 1960s and early 1970s, Waters became an international force, performing with a variety of artists in clubs, concert halls and festival stages.
