[edit] Stuff to add

I'm parking some quotes and sources here to later add to the article:

"I know the critics always mention Live and Well or Live at the Regal, but I think that Indianola Mississippi Seeds was the best album that I've done artistically." Jas Obrecht, Rollin' and Tumblin': The Postwar Blues Guitarists, Backbeat Books, 2000, p.328 (ISBN 0879306130)
On using strings: "I have had some people that weren't thinking. They'd come up and say something about it, but they didn't realize that I was using strings in the early '50s, with things like "My Heart Belongs to Only You," "How Do I Love You," "The Keys to My Kingdom," and quite a few things like that. We were using strings long before, "The Thrill is Gone," many years before. But those critics didn't say much about that. They though you were being Mr. Big or you were being jazzy. My answer is this: If the song needs just a guitar and me singing, we use that, and if you need something else to make it, then you should use that. Whether it be a full orchestra or just a harmonica and guitar—whatever is needed, that's what you should use, though I don't think that one should put a lot of stuff in there just to put it in there." Obrecht, p. 328-9

Although the liner notes list "Hugh McCrackin", it appears that this is actually Hugh McCracken, an accomplished session player. There is an entry for him on the French Wikipedia. -MrFizyx 21:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
