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. smile

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

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

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.

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!
