O’s Notes: While this is billed as Muddy Waters Blues Band, Luther “Snake” Johnson (g, lead vocals) is the headliner! Waters is there but only playing guitar and supplying a few solos. Mojo Buford (harmonica, vocals) and Otis Spann (p) are among the others performing. The music was recorded in the late sixties but now being released for the first time on CD, though the sound is a little thin. Regardless of who’s who and where, Johnson does a great job singing the blues on Mud In Your Ear.
