Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters & Bo Diddley
The Super Super Blues Band
Colored vinyl.
Super Super Blues Band started out merely as Super Blues, a conglomerate of blues pillars Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters and
Little Walter. When Little Walter bowed out and was replaced by Howlin' Wolf, they rightfully threw another Super on the
name, and went on to release this burning, irreverent and even sometimes hilarious set of drunken, wild-eyed electric
blues. Long form jams roll on in a trance as the trio of blues legends flex egos, talking shit to each other, trading
off leads and ducking blasts of unexpected wah-wah guitar lines. Songs are peppered with an incredible level of banter
between the trio of
bandleaders that predicts the call and response singtalking
of early hip hop, laced with random screams in the
background that teeter between celebration and danger. That these three ever got into the same room together is a
miracle, and that they produced something so intense, energetic and weird is another almost unbelievable feat. The
record is special enough as a stand-alone document of this meeting/melting of the minds before you find out the
backing band consists of Hubert Sumlin, Otis Spann and
freaking Buddy Guy. Lordy. Might have needed one more "super" in there.
