Photos from the Mud Morganfield CD Release Party at Legends! Last weekend Bob Corritore flew to his former hometown of Chicago to participate in the CD release party for Mud Morganfield's new album Son Of The Seventh Son on Severn Records. This party happened last Saturday night at Buddy Guy's Legends and the day before the band made a live appearance on WGN Television! This led to a truly special event as Chicago blues fans packed into Legends to honor and celebrate the eldest son of Muddy Waters and the extension of his father's legacy that he represents. The band that played on the record was mostly reunited with Mud, Bob, Rick Kreher, Harmonica Hinds, Barrelhouse Chuck, E.G. McDaniel, and Kenny "Beedy Eyes" Smith. Billy Flynn who also played on the CD had a prior engagement but was able to participate in the WGN broadcast.
