This album features several different backing bands. The first six tracks are with Buddy Guy, with Big Walter Horton on tracks 2 & 5. Tracks 7 & 8 are with Mississippi Fred McDowell, 9-14 are with the Muddy Waters band - yes, Muddy is just a backing musician here! - while the last two are with Edward 'Bee' Houston. Now I have to admit I'm not really a fan of Buddy Guy, and his tracks are the weakest on this CD, in my opinion, but they're still perfectly listenable. As for the rest, they're all absoluely first rate, more than enough for me to give this album a five-star rating.This is a great album, with a variety of styles, but still sufficiently homogenous to listen to it all the way through. Thankfully Big Mama was still in good ... Read More:

6.The Original Hound Dog by: Willie Mae 'Big Mama' Thornton June 25, 1990

Willlie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton was a superb blues shouter in the tradition of Bessie Smith and Memphis Minnie. When she sang blues she didn't need to pose, like Elvis and Janis Joplin. She was the real thing. No one denies that Elvis could sing, and his version of 'Hound Dog' is exciting--but Willie Mae's version has bite, thrust, and a hard-won emotional truth. And the song only makes sense when sung by a woman; the hound dog is clearly a no-account male (dig Willie Mae's take on the line 'You can wag your tail'). The previous reviwer calls the original version 'comfy R and B.' Talk about (mental) Anarchy in the U.K.! For the record: Willie Mae Thornton died penniless in a Los Angeles rooming house in 1984, so it's ... Read More:
