SONG: I Feel Like Going Home
ARTIST: Muddy Waters
ALBUM: King Bee

I Feel Like Going Home is the definition of blues. I feel this song is one of the rawest and purest forms of blues I've ever heard. When I listen to Muddy Waters, blues becomes my favorite genre. This song completely satisfies my need for feeling something through music. I can feel the painful emotion in his tone and through the rough strikes of his guitar. And through his lyrics, I can feel his troubles like they are my own. "Well, minutes seemed like hours... hours don't they seem like days..." This song is what it is- you will find no auto-tune in this beat. Muddy's voice is so perfectly imperfect. Its just completely real and genuine like all of the other elements of the song.

The song starts out with an electrifying guitar solo. Muddy stammers out this constant string of notes and just when you feel he can't pick this note any longer he throws out a perfect change up. Just try to keep yourself from tapping your foot to this genius guitar work. Its impossible. Nobody could follow up that weary guitar solo with vocals beside Muddy Waters himself. I Feel Like Going Home is another one of those short songs I listen to multiple times in a row because I can get enough.
