"When the arrangements are stripped down, Mud sounds just as good. His heartfelt but controlled vocal is commanding on the slow boogie "Fool" and as for those old favorites, Morganfield won't sing the note-for-note the same way his Dad did for his own original version, but it's easy to imagine that Muddy could have sang `em that way. Muddy Waters has been dead for over thirty years, but whenever I listen to For Pops (A Tribute to Muddy Waters), my ears are telling me he's still very much alive. And, he is - in the blood, soul and heart of Mud Morganfield".
