'HardAgan'e

After struggling with phrases to describe this long
awaited album by blues great Muddy Waters, I've conclud
ed that the only descriptive terms are unprintable.
Simply, this album kicks-(VVell, you can bump it in
the course of an article or on the dance floor, but you
can't kick it or print it). I mean, this album is a mother.
Mother in the sense that it is roots blues in its purest
form. '
If the material on this album was recorded by any
other artist it would be passed off as hitting every blues
cliche possible.
But the fact that it is Muddy Waters behind the micro
phone changes that. Waters has as much a claim to shaping
modern blues as does B. B. King, or any of the other
grand old men of the industry, , ,
Hard Again, lovingly produced by Johnny Winter, is
one of the best and most basic blues albums released in
years. It makes the B.B. King releases of the last couple of
years look pale.

The album has 'live" sound to it. There quite possibly
could have been no overdubbing at all on the LP. On some
cuts, studio chatter and reactions to the music clearly
come through.
Winter has produced this album with no tricks. There
, is no excess fat on it at all. No long fade outs, every song
has a distinctive ending, no strings, (can you imagine an
album without strings anymore?) and no echoes or
vocal tricks. Winter could have recorded this album in any
blues club ii Chicago and could not have gotten more
pure.
The album is progressive to the point where it touches
as many bases as possible, doing as many kinds of blues
as they can, think of, without overdoing any of them.
There is even a country-blues tune included. "I cant
be Satisfied" has some nice slide work in it and a nice
flow. Youll recognize the style as that copied by Richard
