Are you ready? Ready for action? Ready for… whatever? I hope you are, because when opportunity knocks you better at least have your drawers on when you answer the door. They say success is when preparation meets opportunity, so you best be ready to jump when the light goes on.

This sassy stop-time number was written by the Mozart of the blues, bassist Willie Dixon for the one and only Muddy Waters, and with Little Walter’s chromatic harp chords chugging along behind the legendary frontman, it’s one of the most invigorating concoctions ever recorded.

Muddy is in full command of his ripeness, and when he declares that he’s been drinking TNT and smoking dynamite, I believe him. He’s ready to fight, fuck, Rock n roll - or, maybe all three at the same time. “I’m ready for you - I hope you ready for me,” he warns, and that ain’t no mere boast.
