It is 2024 and seeing a crowd go nuts over a slow blues is absolutely WILD! This was filmed during my band's sold out debut album release party last friday and we managed to sneak some Muddy Waters in there. Blues is not dead!!

Muddy Waters Cookbook
About 15 years ago I was on the Muddy Waters official website (now defunct?) and found a cookbook there with some of Muddy’s recipes. Does anyone have access to this or know where to find it?

Big Mama Thorton - Stronger Than Dirt studio musicians?
I am having trouble finding Big Mama’s backing band is for this amazing album. It was produced in LA with Al Schmitt so I thought Wrecking Crew was a possibility. But I have been striking out figuring out who is playing on this album. Anybody know?

Serpent Blues festival looks great, but with a 7 PM start time, does anyone know how long the sets will be?
I am a bit surprised that the Serpent festival has so many acts with its late start time, and I am wondering how they intend to fit everyone in. I would hate to see each one of those artists get less than an hour of set time given how talented each one of them is. Has anyone read any information on much each artist will play?

Walter "Furry" Lewis personified the relaxed and intimate character of the early blues. A master of multiple guitar techniques, he was most notably an impressive bottleneck guitarist who echoed his vocal phrasings with an expressive set of sliding notes.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Would you call this a Blues song? I’m referring to at least the first 8 minute, instrumental part.
I’ve heard it 1,000 times, and I just now noticed how bluesy it is.
I’m a big fan of music, but I’m pretty clueless about theory and form, etc. I do understand that much (maybe most) Rock music is based in the Blues, but this seems to be more than that to me.
Thanks for reading my question and Happy Mother’s Day, if that suits your situation.
