Description: BO DIDDLEY/MUDDY WATERS/LITTLE WALTER-SUPER BLUES-CD-(Electric Blues) In 1968*Chess Records' lesser known subsidiary Checker Records engaged in an interesting experiment. Perhaps inspired by similar blues supergroups such as Cream and Steampacket* or 1964's Two Great Guitars*which paired Bo Diddley recording alongside Chuck Berry* Checker brought together some of the best artists in their roster - Diddley*Muddy Waters*and Little Walter - to combine their talents into an album of hard-hitting*soulful Chicago Blues. The three bluesmen were brought together by legendary R&B producer Ralph Bass to record Super Blues*an informal jam session which featured a backing band of blues greats such as Buddy Guy on guitar*and Otis Spann on piano. Critics remain divided over the merits of Super Blues as an album*but most agree it occupies a remarkable place in history both as an experiment and as a shape of things to come. Recorded at a time when electric blues' influence on the mainstream was at it's height*shades of Waters & Bo's future proto-funk experimentation can be heard throughout Super Blues' rough-at-the-seams*yet still loose and relaxed tracks. The main players sound as strong as ever*as impromptu vocals and humorous asides are tossed into off-kilter re-workings of classic tracks like Diddley's I'm a Man*Waters' I Just Want to Make Love to You*and Walter's My Babe. a truly unique release to come from the ranks of Chess*Super Blues is a rare glimpse at three blues powerhouses from within the studio itself.
