I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water

I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water (Traditional)

Originally released on the 1996 Album "Home Cookin" by the "Doctor Jazz Blues Band". This was first developed in PGMusic's Band In A Box application in the MIDI only days. Later it was overdubbed by my fellow band members. This is a 2022 remix of that recording.

Excellent musicianship all around.

Your vocal is fun to listen to, and the call and response at the end is a treat.

What a cool intro. Incredible vocal. Boy the low sax added so much to the song. Awesome piano. The backtrack was perfect. Well done....

Super cool sound! This whole thing was put together fantastically - I really liked it. If I ever get to New Zealand, or you ever tour America, I would LOVE to see one of your shows! This is another one that's so fun to listen to, which is very typical of your recordings. Great job!

Hey Nigel,
Very nice blues song. Your mastery of this genre is evident.
An enjoyable listen all around.

WOW you guys are fantastic.
Super bari sax, piano, guitar, and vocals.
Blues at its best.
IMHO it is your best to date.

Loved it

Ditto on the comments.

Wow Nigel,

This sure is the best one I heard from you so far! The vocals and piano are absolutely outstanding.

This sounds really PRO all the way.

Nigel...great tune and the combo are really tight...you can wail those blues brothers...uniquely you...no-one else around here does it that well!

Hi NigelSpiers,

Great Jazz Blues Band. The sax is excellent. And the timbre of your voice lends itself perfectly to your melody. Nice atmosphere created.

Love, love, love the vocals! And, of course, it's all great. It would be very interesting to hear the MIDI version, just for contrast. Actually, I used to have a Ketron which produced great stuff. Especially on horns, I thought. Yes, maybe your best on the forum!

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your generous comments.
