CD Reviews

Live Muddy is always good...

Docendo Discimus | Vita scholae | 05/09/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"...even when it's shabbily packaged, with no liner notes and no recording information.

Sure, all of these songs are available on much better annotated live recordings, like the excellent "Mojo: The Live Collection", "Chicago 1979", "Live Recordings 1965-1973" and "Muddy Waters At Newport". And a few of these recordings are identical to the ones used on "Mojo" as well.

But the cheap packaging and the missing liner notes do not detract anything from the music itself, which is excellent. The sound is good, Muddy is in very fine form, and the band is top-notch as always.

Judging by the material, this recording is probably from the mid-seventies, when the Muddy Waters-band featured Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson (who sings the lead on a terrific "Dust My Broom"), "Steady Rollin'" Bob Margolin, pianist Joe "Pinetop" Perkins, veteran drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, bassist Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, and harpist Jerry Portnoy.

Some live recordings of the Muddy Waters Band suffer a little bit from too many very slow numbers, sometimes right after one another, but this one mixes it up nicely, and only the eight-minute "Howlin' Wolf" drags its heels slightly.

The highlights include a groovy "Walkin' Through The Park" with some great lead guitar playing, a tough "Hoochie Coochie Man", a superbly funky "Rollin' And Tumblin'", a swinging "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" (which is sung in part by Luther Johnson), and the meaty, harmonica-heavy renditions of "Blow Wind Blow" and "She's Nineteen Years Old". Well, everything is worth a listen, actually, liner notes or no liner notes. Wonderful, tough blues here."
