Description
180g audiophile vinyl reissue, re-mastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London.
For the middle album of his Johnny Winter-produced late-'70s music trilogy, blues giant Muddy Waters brought a new spirit to some familiar material. Starting with members of Waters' touring band - Pinetop Perkins, Bob Margolin, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith - Winter added underrated guitarist (and longtime Waters foil) Jimmy Rogers and extraordinary harp player Big Walter Horton to the mix.
The songs recorded for I'm Ready offer a mix of new material and vintage hit singles like the title cut, the mid-'60s jewel Screamin' and Cryin', or the Willie Dixon-penned I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man.
Ray Staff has done a brilliant job remastering this album as the electric guitars bent notes sizzle and Muddy's strutting vocals growl with passion. Guests Big Walter Horton and Jimmy Rogers spur Waters to new heights. Pianist Pine Top Perkins, still going strong today in his 90s, was cooking 30 years ago, and Johnny Winter must have had a blast playing slide guitar on Who Do You Trust. Screamin' and Cryin' and I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man were vintage Waters and still cooked even at the end of the fabled Mr. Waters' career.
