Recorded with some of the best players on the scene at the time: 
Otis Spann (Piano) , Michael Bloomfield (Guitar), Paul Butterfield (Harmonica), 
Donald "Duck" Dunn (Bass), 
Sam Lay (Drums), Buddy Miles (Drums on "Got My Mojo Working, Part Two), 
and others, in a Chicago Studio and live in concert at the Super Cosmic Joy-Scout Jamboree in Chicago 
(both over 4 days from April 21st to April 24th, 1969)

Put blues legends Muddy Waters and Otis Spann together in a recording studio with young upstarts such as Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, Buddy Miles, amongst others, and hope that the magic will flow. On Fathers and Sons it does, and then some. Originally a two-record set now pared down to one CD, Fathers and Sons displays the love that these musicians shared for the blues and the care they put into getting that feeling down on tape. Standout cuts include "Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had," "I'm Ready," and "Standing 'Round Cryin'," which Eric Clapton covered in 1994. The live concert is loose and funky with everyone getting in their licks, especially Muddy Waters, who shines throughout. A fine touchstone for anyone looking into Chicago blues and generally good music. ---James Chrispell, Rovi
