Hot off the heels of a tour with The Stones, Buddy and Junior assembled this slick, powerful back-up band. They set the stage nicely for Buddy and Junior's forays into the blues stratosphere, and later for the great Muddy himself. This is a great set that will surely make you wish you were there too. There isn't a weak moment in the set.
