Ethnomusicology

[Joe Allonby]

There was a good Muddy Waters interview in the early '80's in Musician. He
went into detail on his use of microtones to give color, nuance, and
emotion to both his slide and vocal work. Pretty sophisticated and
self-aware explanation of his technique from someone labelled a "down home"
musician.
