 Rating: - A Supreme Moment In Blues TimeThere are seminal moments in the arts when circumstances bring giants together in perfect alignment, and this album is one of them. The cast could never be better than the one contained herein, with the huge blues voice of Muddy Waters leading the way, half-brother Otis Spann pounding out some of his most brilliant piano ever, Paul Butterfield blowing his harp as if nations rise or fall by his effort, Mike Bloomfield (not long for this world after this 1969 recording) spinning out black blues guitar licks in a faithful but trailblazing fashion, plus a killer rhythm section of Stax/Volt's Donald "Duck" Dunn and Muddy's own Sam Lay on drums. The songs are Muddy classics, from the thundering "40 Days And 40 Nights" to the braggadocio ...

It is really a wonderful work of blues and there is quite a lot of music here. You get your money's worth and then some. Rating:  - a blues legacyReleased for the first time in 1969 as a double LP album, this record was digitally remastered and published on CD in 2001, with some bonus tracks. Tracks 1-14 are recorded in studio, while 15-20 are performed live at the Super Cosmic Joy-Scout Jamboree, Chicago. The project was conceived around the idea of a "passing of the torch" from fathers (Otis Spann, Muddy Waters) to sons (Michael Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield and more) of blues music. It turns around a classic review of Muddy's warhorses (Long Distance Call, Baby Please Don't Go, Honey Bee...) in addiction with other milestones of blues history (I'm Ready, by Willie Dixon, Got My Mojo Working, by Preston Foster and more), giving rise to a tight electric blues recording, in a perfect Chicago ... Read More: Rating: - Incredible Memories Brought Back to Life!While a college student back in the winter of 1972 I attended an Urban Studies semester program in Chicago. One night I went with some of the other students to see Muddy Waters at a club called (if my memory is correct) Alice's Revisted. I did not know anything about Muddy Waters and little about the Blues. Muddy put on an incredible show that was one of the musical highlights of my life. I still get shivers down my spine thinking about the night. I particularly remember when he sang "Got my Mojo Working," and I was up on my feet chanting and dancing with the rest of the audience. At one point, a small fire started in some curtains on the stage and the Muddy the rest of the band calmly kept performing as it was quickly extinguished, perhaps preventing a ... Read More: Rating: - I was there...It was in a beautiful theatre in downtown Chicago in 1969. I flew there from Phoenix to see some old friends and to witness what I felt would be a show that could never be repeated. Boy was I right! I've listened to this record countless times, gone through LPs, cassettes and CDs, and as good as it is, the recorded sound does not approach the beautiful noise those cats made on those two nights. It's funny. Butterfield checked out early, so did Bloomfield. White boys knew nothing about pacing themselves I guess. The old guys hung on for quite a while. It was years later that I met Muddy a couple of times when he came through Phoenix. He was always performing, even in his dressing room. He entertained visitors with ... Read More: |
