About On The Chicago Blues Scene
Product Description This 1968 recording was originally issued as Electric Sleep, the title a riff on the Muddy Waters LP title Electric Mud. But the similarities ended there; whereas Mud was psychedelic and musically quite a departure from a traditional blues sound, Electric Sleep simply combines a country blues artist with an electric blues band. This 2007 reissue is re-mixed and mastered from the original analog tapes and has a brand new cover with photos from the recording session. The legendary blues poet is accompanied by Jimmy Dawkins (guitar), Sunnyland Slim (piano), Carey Bell (harmonica/bass), Earl Hooker, Joe Harper (bass), Odie Payne, Jr. (drums).(Previously deleted: 4/1/05. Original release date: 5/91) Review Electric narcosis. The 1967 Chicago meeting between country bluesman Estes, decades past his prime, and local modernists such as electric guitarist Jimmy Dawkins is the stuff of night mares. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
