Muddy Water by Nashville-based singer/songwriter Carey Ott is an accomplished, exceptional collection of tunes. It's obvious Ott has learned from the best: John Hiatt, John Prine, probably a few other Johns and maybe a Bob or two. If you like strong songwriting shot through with warmth and humanity, and records where every track offers something different from the one previous while keeping true to the strengths of melody and feel, you'll LOVE Muddy Water.
