As deep blue as blues-rock gets.

We Say...
As Muddy Waters’ second guitarist from 1973 to 1980, Margolin is arguably the most rooted of the label’s Anglo guitar heroes; with rare exceptions like “Not Dark Yet’” Margolin at his most rockish (“Slam “Em Down”) barely deviates from the sound he learned with Muddy. And his slide work, which can positively envelop a record, is even more of a ringer. But so what: it’s a terrific sound, played with integrity and enthusiasm, and although Margolin’s not much of a singer, this is as deep blue as blues-rock gets.

They Say...
Bob Margolin continues to pay homage to Muddy Waters with each record he cuts and this debut for Blind Pig is no exception. His slide playing is Waters to a tee while his songwriting chops stay firmly in the mold of what Waters himself would come up with, albeit less inspired. Margolin's band is a three-piece knockoff of the old Waters band with Tad Waleters blowing harp in the Little Walter tradition while drummer Wes Johnson supplies a solid Chicago beat, no frills or overplaying out of any of them. If you like your Chicago blues served up '50s style without a lot of technical niceties, this album's right up your alley.
