TWELVE BAR BICKERING

If you've ever run across the LP above and passed on it, it's understandable. What's the point when there are still Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley solo records that you hadn't picked up? Even if you just concentrated on their prime stuff, it would still a challenge. Here's the thing: there's just so much top notch stuff by each one of them, you'll never get to this one. Take a break. It may be relatively late (from 1967) but it's worth hearing just to hear them rib each other. Howlin' Wolf dissing Muddy Waters? Bo butting in? This is good stuff,

Good post, I found this in the cut out bin about 25 years ago. I never passed on a Chess record.

Hard to go wrong with Chess. Or Sun, or Stax, or Okeh, or King, or Federal, or....so many good labels.

Cut outs rule though, eh?
