{"product_id":"muddy-waters-im-ready","title":"I'M READY","description":"Personnel: Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar, slide guitar); Jimmy Rogers, Johnny Winter (guitar, slide guitar); Walter Horton, Jerry Portnoy (acoustic \u0026amp; electric harp); Pine Top Perkins (piano); Bob Margolin (bass); Willie \"Big Eyes\" Smith (drums).\nAlso available in a 3-pack with HARD AGAIN and KING BEE.\nMuddy Waters brought the Mississippi Delta blues sound to Chicago, electrified it (literally and figuratively), and made history. There is not a blues performer, or blues-oriented rock performer (the Rolling Stones got their name from a Waters tune), or \"roots\"-oriented performer in any genre who does not own something to Muddy Waters. In the late '70s, Waters' fire had not only not dimmed with time; it was burning hotter than ever, and he KNEW that he ruled the world. The man sang with passion, yet had the easy confidence of a person who knew his racket backwards and forwards. Here, he's backed by some young guns, Johnny Winter and Bob Margolin; as well as older (but still firm) hands, Walter Horton and Jimmy Rogers. The program holds few surprises--it's mostly blues standards, making clear that it's not what you say, but how you say it. No new ground is broken--I'M READY gets its fire from a big, craggy yet good-hearted voice that can stop you in your tracks, surrounded by players whose hot sound can cut through you like an icy wind. Recommended to old fans and neophytes alike.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/09\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Muddy Waters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586118054121,"sku":"XG1WO7-4IZ8-00","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/muddy-waters-im-ready_39cFj.jpg?v=1759158389","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/muddy-waters-im-ready","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
