| Professional Review: |
| Muddy Waters had his second coming 30 years ago, when longtime friend and disciple Johnny Winter and his Blue Sky label returned him--after a series of listless recordings aimed at the rock audience--to the raw, powerful authenticity of his timeless Chess material with a series of powerful albums. Beginning with 1977's acclaimed Hard Again, a subsequent tour produced Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live, recorded onstage in Detroit, New York, and Philadelphia with Muddy's band, Winter, and harmonica player/vocalist James Cotton. Enough live material remained for Legacy to release an expanded version with an entire second disc of unissued concert material. It seems even that wasn't the end. This collection returns again to those remarkable concerts, featuring Muddy on five tracks, among them a rousing "I Can't Be Satisfied," "Trouble No More," "Caldonia," and the closing "Got My Mojo Workin'." Winter and Cotton are no less powerful, Cotton redoing Jackie Brenston's hit "Rocket '88'" and Winter ripping up John Lee Hooker's "I Done Got Over It" and "Mama Talk to Your Daughter." --Rich Kienzle |

 Written on January 18, 2008 Summary: Rockin'! The performances on this CD are very high energy, rockin' performances. "Mama Talk to Your Daughter" is one of my favorite blues songs, and they do a great job with it here. The band is fantastic! Just another example of how great Muddy Waters really was! Written on January 12, 2008 Summary: I know I like it! I'm not one of those Blues fans that can tell you who played drums on which LP. If they weren't printed right above, I couldn't even name the guys on the cover of this one. I *do* know, however, that I am loving the Blues. This is a very satisfying start to my collection. Written on January 10, 2008 Summary: Excellent Additional Material from Waters/Winter Tours! This CD is excellent. Sometimes when additional material is released it is dissapointing and it is apparent why the artist did not release it in the first place. NOT the case here!!! Every and I mean every tune is excellent. If you are a Johnny Winter fan you will love this CD. Johnny is much more prominent on this CD then in the other live Waters/Winter releases. This CD is produced by Bob Margolin (he also plays on the CD), Muddy's guitar player and a fine job he does here. He also authors the liner notes paying tribute to the three legends. Nice, another guitarist producing and recognizing Johnny late in his current career as Johnny did for Muddy. If you want original Chicago Blues that smokes, buy this CD you will not be sorry. Written on January 8, 2008 Summary: Submitted for your approval... ...Rod Serling? Eh, no, not quite. Anyway. The couple of professional reviews I had read suggested that this was a good but somewhat superflous live album, certainly not a must-have, except for the really serious fan. So, I wasn't expecting great things. But I was pleasantly surprised, actually. This is a really fine album, with extensive recording information and excellent liner notes by guitarist Bob Margolin, and the vast majority of these songs do not usually show up on the many live albums left behind by the great Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters shares the slide guitar parts with Johnny Winter, who had produced and played on Muddy's then-brand new comeback LP, "Hard Again", and they are backed by a terrific band: Bob Margolin, bassist Charles Calmese, drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, pianist and occational vocalist Joe "Pinetop" Perkins, and the great James Cotton playing the harp. Cotton, Waters and Winter share lead vocals about equally between themselves, and the highlights are numerous: Johnny Winter performs a great, swinging "I Done Got Over It", originally by Guitar Slim. James Cotton rips through "the world's first rock n' roll song", Jackie Brenston's 1951 R&B single "Rocket 88". And Muddy Waters completely steals the show with one magnificent slide guitar fest, a pulsating rendition of his first hit single, "I Can't Be Satisfied". Waters and Winter both play slide on this the finest cut on the album. Other highlight include the opening medley, Johnny Winter's "Black Cat Bone" fused with "Dust My Broom" (it's basically the same song anyway), a driving, energetic performance of James Cotton's "How Long Can A Fool Go Wrong", the slow burner "Love Her With A Feeling", and of course the obligatory closer, "Got My Mojo Workin'". But there are really no bad songs here. Great take on "Mama Talk To Your Daughter". Great "Dealin' With The Devil". Great stuff, great playing, and more lively, up-tempo numbers than on most live recordings featuring Muddy Waters, something which, to me at least, is a definite plus. A funny thing, by the way: Muddy Waters sings part of Big Bill Broonzy's "Trouble No More", before another singer takes over. James Cotton, according to the liner notes, but Cotton's harp is frequently heard playing over the vocals. So I'm guessing Pinetop Perkins here. You might argue that Muddy Waters seriously overshadows Winter and Cotton in the vocal department, and why doesn't he sing all the songs? Well, it's true that he is the best and most commanding singer of the three, even here a few weeks before his 64th birthday. But part of the charm of this album is precisely this loose and relaxed feeling...Johnny sings a verse, then Muddy sings one, then James Cotton sings one, etc. To me, this is a very worthy addition to the catalogue of all three men, one of the most enjoyable live blues records I have listened to for a long time. I can't see anyone with an interest in the music of Muddy Waters, or blues in general, not liking this one. 4 3/4 stars. Yummy! Written on November 20, 2007 Summary: Fantastic Muddy Waters I'm a huge Muddy Waters fan and this is one of my favorites. The disc and case were in excellent condition and it was exactly in the condition that it said it would be. It arrived before the scheduled date which made it even better. |
