Black Merda "Cynthy-Ruth"

http://www.mydamnchannel.com/e... MERDA has weathered decades of relative inactivity only to return stronger than ever in the 21st Century. Original members V.C. Veasey, Anthony Hawkins and Charles Hawkins were on tour as Edwin Starr's backup band in the mid-sixties when they had a chance encounter with the music of Jimi Hendrix. Shortly thereafter, they embarked on a course that led them to become the link between Hendrix and Funkadelic. In 1967, Black Merda recorded the first of two albums for Chess Records. For these Wasmopolitan sessions, they've reprised one of those early songs, "Cynthy-Ruth" -- a blues number that owes far more to Muddy than to Jimi.
