Bottom line, a great video of classic blues greats, fans of the music will definitely appreciate it more than a reviewer who has no idea who Muddy Waters is! Colin James was a fine host, I`m sure he just read off the cue cards the network wrote up for the show. As host, I`m sure he just presented the show as they wanted it, and if you pick up some of his CD`s, you`ll see what a great guitarist and fine vocalist he is, not to mention diverse in his music, doing blues to swing to R&B!
