"you can't lose what you aint't never had" and "she's nineteen years old" are my favorite muddy pieces. i need to be in the mood for "mannish boy" or any of his other more traditional songs. in fact...
blues is moods anyway right? i can be in a certain mood and really crave what ray charles called 'dirty blues.' something like winter's "murderin' blues" for example. or need to boogie with a version of "walkin' through the park." the version of walkin' i'm partial to is a chicago bluesman named big daddy kinsey. the wailing harp, as i recall is billy branch and it sets my teeth on edge and raises the hair on my neck.
damn! favorite? it's all good if you ask me.
