My apologies to you J, for taking your words out of context but, I found this juxtaposition to be interesting.

Rollin’ & Tumbling Mr. Muddy Waters has my vote tonight ’cause he’s preaching from the heart.

In his book, “Can’t Be Satisfied: The Life and Times of Muddy Waters”, Robert Gordon said…

”Rollin’ and Tumblin’ ‘is little more than a harmonica, a bass drum in overdrive, an occasionally ferocious slide guitar and the orgiastic humming of several grown men, The sounds are pugilistic and sexual. Someone yelps. Someone else responds. The randomness of the interjections is frightening, the rapid-fire drumming disorienting. Muddy’s slide rings like loose spokes on an iron wheel, haywire. The harp is hypnotic. Chant and hum, chant and hum. Violence hangs everywhere, the sex heated and raw.”
