The all-acoustic 'Goin' Way Back' was recorded in a single afternoon in a Montreal rooming house during a 1967 Canadian tour. In between shows, Muddy and his band gathered in a living room, armed only with acoustic guitars, for a spirited walk through their collective blues memory. An interesting side-note is that legendary pianist Otis Spann is confined exclusively to guitar here, as are the other members of Muddy's group. 'Goin' Way Back' is a unique, appealing snapshot of the acoustic Delta roots that the Chicago blues godfather never abandoned.
