Product Description

CD Description

Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) was and is the King of the Chicago blues. He was the first to electrify the blues he and others brought from the deep South, thereby laying thegroundwork for future blues and rock & roll bands. Many of his songs have become standards, some of which are included on MOJO, a collection of live recordings from 1971 and 1976.
Here, Muddy is at the height of his powers: a supremely confident voice that mixes hard-times grit with swaggering confidence and authority. The recording quality is fine and the band features inspired, hearty performances from several long-time members (Bob Margolin, Jerry Portnoy, Pinetop Perkins). "Crawlin' King Snake" and "Dust My Broom", illustrate how the master fused the acoustic sounds of the Delta and country blues with the big-town crackle and bar-room raunch ofan electric band. Seasoned and younger blues fans--as well as those who haven't yet had the pleasure--will appreciate how this gets their MOJO moving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!, 11 Mar 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This album is subtitled "The Live Collection", which may sound a little ominous, but this is not a collection of dubious live recordings thrown hap-hazardly together. "Mojo - The Live Collection" bring together seven tracks recorded in 1976, and seven from 1971, all of them featuring excellent sound quality. The first seven songs, all of which are in stereo, are particularly stellar, but the earlier mono recordings are good as well.

"Mojo" opens with a terrific, muscular rendition of "Rollin' And Tumblin'", after which it goes from highlight to highlight: "Got My Mojo Working", a lean, mean rendition of "Walkin' Blues", a superb "Dust My Broom", a slow, soulful "Howlin' Wolf", and an interesting, minor-note flavoured "Mannish Boy", which owes a lot to the huge pocket of the drummer who makes the five-minute, one-chord song into the powerhouse that it is.

Joe "Pinetop" Perkins supplies top-notch piano playing on almost all of these fourteen tracks, harp duties are ably handled by Jerry Portnoy (1976) and George "Harmonica" Smith (1971), and the great Willie "Big Eyes" Smith is behind the drum kit, laying down a deep groove with his energetic, versatile playing.
The interaction between the rhythm section and Pinetop Perkins is worth noticing as well; Perkins contributes mightily to the magnificent swinging feel of songs like "Crawlin' King Snake", "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Walkin' Thru The Park", and "Rollin' And Tumblin'", and his solo on "Can't Get No Grindin' (what's the matter with the mill)" completely takes over the track, even though it gets stiff competition from Jerry Portnoy's harp solo and a fiery guitar solo by Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson.
Johnson also shines on a rough, tough rendition of "Dust My Broom", doing the lead vocals while Muddy Waters plays the slide lead guitar.

This is some of the best (and best-sounding) live Muddy available, and "Mojo - The Live Collection" belongs in the collection of any Muddy Waters-fan. It's probably sacriledge to say so, but I like this album every bit as much as I do "Live At Newport". The sound, the material, and the musicianship make this one of the best live blues albums I have ever heard.
Highly recommended.

WOW!
Muddy at his live best.
'Goin' down slow' is the greatest music I have ever heard and it is going to be played at my funeral pyre!
