The tracks were cut and converted to 16 bit using cd wave.
There were no issues with the transfer and the tape looked brand new. There is some hiss, but it is nothing
too distracting. 8-8.5/10
The source is thrilled to share his fm master tape and sees the Blues as being of of America's Greatest Treasure.
As with countless other Bluesman, Luther's youth included singing in the choir, seeing Muddy Waters play and moving to Chicago.
He worked with Magic Sam and was also a long time member of Muddy's band. When Muddy's band broke up, he formed the Magic
Rockers. Luther Was also a member of the band that backed John Lee Hooker on The Blues Brothers. He has played with luminaries such as
the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, and Jerry Garcia. He is the torch carrier of the West Side Blues.
