i remember my best friend had the album at his house. i was about 10 or 11. and this was some of the heaviest use of guitar effects (feedback/distortion) that i had ever heard. nasty!!!
Morris is being kind. He knows those old blues guys had no clue what in the hell was going on. Marshall Chess Marshall Chess had no idea what he was doing, he just 'did' & hoped. And now he claims the blues is in his DNA? After Electric Mud? Open your eyes, interviewers!! He's nothing but the kid of Leonard who had no business being in the music business at all.
At first you were right that the old blues guys had no idea what they were getting themselves into, but Muddy had a second session with 'Electric Mud' band that produced the album After the Rain. By that time Muddy had gotten comfortable enough with the psychedelic setup to bring his axe and play on a few songs.
I love that Muddy gave it a second try. I wish Wolf did the same. I think Chess was a genius for getting this off the ground. It was his response to Cream, and I dig it. He took a risk and tried something new or different. This is exactly what is missing from today's "music."

Morris Jennings is a fantastic drummer, and has a groove 'second to none!'
I'm deep diving both Muddy and Howlin's electric albums. I love them, but I wish there was more discussions like this out there. Great interview!

I disagree; black, white and degrees don't come into it.
