Muddy Waters- After The Rain

Label: Get On Down

Reissued 2011, Originally released 1969

The second of two electric-blues albums released on Chess Records and Cadet Concept imprint in the late 60s, Muddy Waters After the Rain has achieved cult-like status amongst blues fans in the years since his death in 1983. After taking a backlash from critics with first attempt at adopting psychedelic influences on Electric Mud, Muddy made adjustments for the follow-up, despite keeping a majority of the same session players. This time, he toned down the psychedelic elements and put them in balance with his classic Chicago blues sound, and the results yield some vintage tracks that glow with fuzzy guitars and bass: I Am the Blues, Ramblin Mind, Bottom of the Sea, and Blues Trouble.
