THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Muddy Waters is one of the most important singer-songwriters and guitarists of the post-modern blues era.
His early 1960s U.K. tours inspired many British musicians — most notably The Rolling Stones, who took their name from his classic song Rollin’ Stone. Over the ’60s and into the early 1970s, Waters became an international force, performing on various bills and artist pairings on club, concert hall and festival stages.
This eight-song set was recorded at the legendary Ash Grove club in Los Angeles on the Blue Summit weekend (which also featured Freddie King and Lightnin’ Hopkins) from July 27 to Aug. 1, 1971. The show was recorded not long before his infamous London sessions recordings — which would become one of his six Grammy-winning Traditional Folk recordings throughout the ’70s.”
