''Fathers and Sons'' is the seventh studio album by American blues musician Muddy Waters, originally released as a double LP by Chess Records in August 1969. The album features both studio and live recordings recorded in April 1969 with an all-star band including Michael Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Donald "Duck" Dunn of Booker T. & the M.G.'s and Sam Lay in Chicago, Illinois. The album was Muddy's biggest mainstream success, reaching #70 on the ''Billboard'' 200, which was his only appearance in the top half of the chart. Muddy would not make another appearance on the 200 until ''Hard Again'' in 1977. == Background == According to Marshall Chess, the idea behind ''Fathers and Sons'' came when Mike Bloomfield was at his house and said that he and Paul Butterfield wanted to do an album with Muddy Waters because they would be in Chicago for a charity concert. Chess then rounded up Donald "Duck" Dunn, Otis Spann, and Sam Lay for the studio sessions. While many blues purists criticized the Waters "psychedelic" album Electric Mud at the time, ''Fathers and Sons'' was received more favorably since it avoided psychedelia, instead showcasing the "classic" Waters sound of the 50's. In many ways, the album anticipated the later, critically acclaimed Waters blues albums produced by Johnny Winter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fathers and Sons (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
