Backporch Blues

Search: Muddy Water
by: Smokey Smothers

Release Date December 27, 2004
I know this is not a Freddie King album but he does play lead guitar and it sounds great. This is an early and rare King album label release and has the tremelo blues sound of Slim Harpo. Smokey Smothers is a great blues singer and has one of the great guitar players of all time backing him. This is a must have album for any blues fans. This album is only going to get harder and harder to find so do yourself a favor and buy it now.

Johnny Rivers Anthology, 1964-1977 [2-CD Set]

Search: Muddy Water
by: Johnny Rivers

Release Date March 26, 1991
One reviewer laments the fact that this 2-CD anthology is no longer available. Perhaps one reason is that Rhino is busy making corrections. First of all, rather than the separate booklet which usually accompanies such box sets, Rhino chose to insert liner notes with each disc. The only problem is, they put the SAME liner notes in both discs.

What is included [ten pages] is interesting, but whereas it says "continued in booklet for disc # 2" we unfortunately get those same disc 1 notes repeated. So, not only do I not know who wrote them, I have no idea if they ever intended to include a discography. I also can't say if this was a general problem or confined only to my set.

As for the contents, of the 29 selections he put ... Read More:

Summer Rain: The Essential Rivers (1964-1975)

Search: Muddy Water
by: Johnny Rivers

Release Date November 06, 2006
Saw Johnny in Biloxi, MS in 1965, during my ROTC Summer Camp, just a few days before Hurricane Betsy hit. Buddy and I met two beauties from Miss State, and thought we had it made until one stood up: she was several months pregnant. But I'm a Rivers fan, and hearing/seeing him in person made the whole evening a winner. Two songs may be "session tapes": they don't match what's on the 45 rpm recordings precisely, but they are quite good anyway. I recommend this CD.
