I Just Want To Make Love To You

This comes from the Super Blues album, a session produced by Ralph Bass to cash in on the blues-rock boom by putting three Chess Records titans into the same studio. They tackle Willie Dixon's classic, originally a hit for Muddy in 1954. The result is a delightfully chaotic, loose jam. You can hear Bo Diddley injecting his signature tremolo rhythm guitar beneath Muddy's booming vocals and Little Walter's amplified harmonica. It's a snapshot of aging pioneers having a good time reinterpreting their own legacy.
