"Groanin' and Mumblin'"This one requires a little skipping around, but for every barroom blues that has not stood the test of time so well, Muddy delivers another song with disgusting fuzzy slide guitar and gutbucket bellowing. My personal highlight would have to be "Standin' Around Crying," which, in addition to the awesome title, features some serious caveman drumming that just may contain the birth of the blast beat, circa 1952. What? These early tracks show why this guy was hero to the Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath and a bunch of other great bands who knew what they were talking about.
