history
Jack Randall, a concert agent from Boston, had the idea of honoring Muddy Waters, in which the Muddy Waters Band from 1974 to 1980 reunited. The first club appearances were well received and so the tribute band played in Europe at the Montreux Jazz Festival and other major festivals. In 1994 they went on a US tour with BB King, Dr. John and Little Feat . In 1995 they went on a European tour again, “their mojo working better than ever” .
