    1)Hoochie Coochie Man by Willie Dixon and recorded by Muddy Waters in 1954.
    2)Drums, electric guitar, vocals, piano, and the violin.
    3)Small group
    4)This songs gives me a picture of a man singing at the bar with all the instruments behind him played by his partners. This song also gives me a picture of people working at an auto shop trying to attract the ladies.
    5a)Yes, I liked the song.
    5b)I liked this song because of the way the vocalist or singer kept taking turns with the instruments like a conversation. The singer would sing and then the instruments play. I also feel like the instruments were played with the right dynamics because you could hear all the instruments and there wasn't an instrument that overplayed or over controlled the song.

    1. Name the artist and the song name.
    Hoochie Coochie Man by Willie Dixon; Performed/recorded by Muddy Waters (1954)
    2. List the instruments you hear.
    Vocals, guitar (possibly electric), harmonica, piano.
    3. Is it a solo, duet, small group or large group?
    Small group.
    4. What does this song remind you of? (Sights, sounds, smells, etc.)
    This reminds me of bars in like the cowboy days. It feels like Willie Dixon is playing the piano in the background, and Muddy Waters is singing to a small crowd. The harmonica sends of these vibes that just scream, "cowboys!" The guitar/electric guitar reminds me of grundge/sort of vintage bands, where they're in the studio, hanging out and playing random songs.
    5a) Do you like this song?
    Yes.
    5b) Please give a musical reason why or why not?
    I love the way the music suddenly stops, and then Muddy Waters starts singing. And I also really like the harmonica. It was leading the whole thing and without it, I bet the whole song would feel like it's missing something.

    1. Hoochie Coochi Man-by Willie Dixon and was recorded by Muddy Waters in 1954.
    2. Some instruments I have depicted were:
    -Electric guitar
    -Drums
    -Vocals
    -tapping the symbols
    -piano
    -and maybe a hermonica.
    3. It sounds like it could be a small group to a midium sized group.
    4. this song reminds me of this clip of a movie I once saw on tv. It had a group of guys in a junk yard sitting on these rusty old cars singing about their sorrows and playing house hold items as if they were instruments.
    5a.No not really.
    5b. Because I didn't like how when I was really into the background music it just stopped, featured willie's voice, and started agian.It did have an interesting tune, but I guess I just didn't like it that much.

    1) "Hoochie Coochie Man" written by Willie Dixon, & recorded by Muddy Waters.

    2) Drums, Piano, Guitar (strings), harmonica, vocals(brassy)

    3) Small Group

    4)It sort of reminds me of the blues songs I like playing on my piano to uplift my mood.

    5a) Yes, I love blues songs like this one.

    5b) There's just something about the beat, vocals, and instruments that all work together to create a unique sound, and I just love it. :) Also, the moments where he would sing a part and there would be a slight pause, it felt like the instruments reacted, like a conversation or agreement.
