    Some tracks, like "Got My Mojo Working" (a vocal duet with Shemekia Copeland), smolder without catching fire. Others, like a drum-looped "Mannish Boy," spark by breaking tradition. All testify to the eternal flame of a master--the original rollin' stone.

    Nothing takes the place of Muddy’s performances with their emotional intensity and mind blowing musicality. But this heartfelt project makes a terrific reminder of just how great these songs are, unearths interesting, seldom heard Muddy sides even fans might not know and works as both a tribute to the legendary blues man and an impetus to go back and experience the originals.

    John Primer channels his inner Mud convincingly, but you’ll be peering past him at the A-list band.
  4. It offers a crisp and worthy glimpse of a giant.
