Thread Name: Enhanced Muddy Waters CD
Subject: Enhanced Muddy Waters CD
I just got a really cool Muddy Waters CD, The Lost Tapes. This is the first enhanced CD I've seen and what a treat. It not only plays in a standard CD player, but if you load it into a PC with the right video player, there is a video interview with Muddy talking briefly about his life in music and video of Muddy, Pinetop, Willie Big Eyes Smith, George Harmonica Smith and a couple of others doing a live version of "Long Distance Call." I didn't see Muddy when he was alive and this is a great opportunity to see this legend when he was at his peak. What a neat concept, actually seeing up close shots of Muddy playing slide on his famous red Telecaster, seeing the intensity in his face, watching Pinetop pound out Piano parts, etc.

Now if I could only find enhanced Robert Johnson, Son House, Bukka White, Blind Willie McTell etc.
