In this clip from episode 3 of It Was the Music, guitarist Paul Asbell (who worked on Fathers and Sons) talks about the often overlooked importance and influence that Muddy Waters had on Blues music.
It Was the Music is a musical odyssey about two musicians, who, in search of what they call “music utopia”, step into the limelight to make it on their own. “It Was the Music” features Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, who step off the tour bus, pack their instruments and thirty-year marriage into an SUV, and set out across America. They look to fulfill their dream of playing their songs and riveting interpretations of American Gospel, Blues, Country and good old rock ‘n’ roll. He’s from New York’s Upper East Side, she’s from rural West Tennessee. A love story that also looks back to the music that brought people together in the halcyon days of the sixties and early seventies, the series features a score of great musicians and speaks to the power of music to bring people together.
