Big Mama Thornton was one of the greatest Blues shouters of all time. Her music has influenced the likes of Janis Joplin and Elvis, who would later cover songs originally recorded by Big Mama. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1984. In 1966 she joined up with the Muddy Waters Blues band to cut a classic album of down home shoutin' blues for Arhoolie Records. Tracks include 'Bumble Bee', 'I'm Feeling Alright' and 'Life Goes On'. Muddy Waters - guitar, Otis Spann - piano, James Cotton - harmonica, Sammy Lawhorn - guitar, Luther Johnson - bass, Francis Clay - drums.

Everybody's Mama
Yes, the production quality of the vinyl is low. There were industry issues with supply of certain chemicals the past couple years, if you want new short run releases of old recordings like this, this is the quality that should be expected.Yes, it sounds like it was recorded in a tin box; that's what the non-fancy recording equipment sounded like back then.Yes, the music is everything a Big Mama or Muddy Waters fan wants to hear! You don't need hi-fi for the blues, and this is a great record and it is such a blessing to have this music in my collection!

I think the music would have been great.I did not get a chance to listen to it because upon opening the album sleeve and removing the record I noticed several scratches. I noticed another purchaser had similar problems so I did not request another record. Its too much trouble dealing with these kind of issues. Someone needs to check the vinyl before it gets packaged.

This is the second one I have received and i believe the issues are in the production. The LP skips, the needle violently jumps. Product is poorly produced and should be removed from Amazon!
