Muddy Waters and Otis Spann are the former; Paul Butterfield and Michael Bloomfield the latter. With Duck Dunn and Sam Lay on board as the rhythm section.
Hughesy's assessment: There's nothing new here, and everything receives a traditionalist treatment. That might attract criticism from some quarters but it's the very factor that, for mine, makes this studio/live double album, along with the Johnny Winter-collaboration (Hard Again) the two Muddy Waters albums that belong in any discerning collector's collection. Some of Muddy's best material, cut in an environment where everyone knows what they were doing. Essential.
