Electric Sleep

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.
