Fathers and Sons is the seventh studio album by the American blues musician Muddy Waters, released as a double LP by Chess Records in August 1969.
The album contains both studio and live recordings recorded in April 1969 in Chicago, Illinois, with an all-star band, including Michael Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Donald "Duck" Dunn of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Otis Spann, and Sam Lay.
The album was Waters's biggest mainstream success, reaching #70 on the Billboard 200, which was his only appearance in the top half of the chart. Waters would not make another appearance on the 200 until Hard Again in 1977.
According to Marshall Chess, Fathers and Sons came about when Mike Bloomfield said that he and Paul Butterfield wanted to do an album with Muddy Waters because while in Chicago for a charity concert. Chess rounded up Donald "Duck" Dunn, Otis Spann, and Sam Lay for the studio sessions.
While some blues purists criticized Waters's "psychedelic" album Electric Mud, Fathers and Sons was received more favorably since it avoided psychedelia, instead showcasing his "classic" sound of the 1950s. In many ways, the album anticipated his later, critically acclaimed, albums produced by Johnny Winter.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Regarding the quality and playback of vinyl records. Vinyl, generally, is in various stages of quality depending on being an original pressing, deep groove, physical condition, and age of album. The older vinyl is usually dryer which creates little ticks and pops, but that can be handled by professionally softening records with with "Last" record preservation treatment. Another thing to consider is the quality of playback equipment like turntable cartridge and needle. Worn needles can cause all sorts of distortion and damage vinyl irreparably. Plus the difference in sound between a needle's shape, conical, elliptical or the other two can make a big difference in sound as well as picking up imperfections on the record. No vinyl is 100% perfect and even some have particles can be left from the pressing that have to be cleaned off for a pleasant listening experience.
I've been collecting for many years but for the pleasure of playing music not collecting special pressings for resale. I do not test play every album only visual inspection according to Goldmine standards.
