Excellent blues/rock vibe.
"now this is blues. clapton can fuck off." indeed
quite alright.
Really amazing find
Bien
oh, that’s giving such a free and calm vibe. i don’t like this style of music at all, but!!!!! it works. good good
I’m sort of ambivalent about blues music. Talent is obvious, but it has never landed on me the same as other genres. Good background music. 3.5/5
Despite not being a fan of live albums nor blues music this was surprisingly good.
It's real blues. It's live. I don't quite understand those who'd rather hear a studio blues album than a live one with the energy, but I'll let them have that opinion. For me, this was a perfect snapshot of live blues, taken basically at the end.
My brothers quote, “Muddy Waters is as blues as blues gets.”
Fabulous live album. I knew his work much later in his life, but he had a ton of gusto in 1960.
Muddy Waters captures the blues for me. Straight out of Clarksdale, MS in the heart of the Delta. Have to be in the right mood for it, but there are few better.
Blues albums continue to take me back to recent Memphis trip. Got a little bored with this one by the end but classic blues and worth listening to.
Probably a lot of fun to see this in a live concert.
Good live record. Muddy Waters and his band are tight.
Great listen, awesome live album
💖 i’ve got my mojo working 🗣️ 8️⃣
First listen Saved 2/9 Top track: I've Got My Mojo Working
Better audio quality than most of the live albums on this list, but still suffers from the same issues of datedness - it's simply impossible to compete with today's live experience. That being said, you can hear the modern roots of "remixes" in some of these tracks that elevate the live format. Listened to: at home. Favorite track: Got My Mojo Working
A really strong live blues album from one of the best to ever do it - just didn’t quite hit with me
Good old blues…
hmmm what AN mojo going
I can remember my dad trying to make me listen to this album when I was a teenager. All I wanted then was dashboard confessional. So I’m glad I waited to listen to this lol so I can actually appreciate it. Do all the songs blend together tune wise? Yes. But his voice is energetic and passionate. It sounds like they’re giving everything to this album and I love it.
Wenn mich ein Alien fragen würde: "Wie klingt Blues?" würde ich ihm vielleicht diese Platte in die Hand drücken.
B- I Got My Brand On You 3 I'm Your Hoochie Koochie Man 3 Baby, Please Don't Go 3 Soon Forgotten 3 Tiger In Your Tank 3 I Feel So Good 3 Got My Mojo Working 3 Got My Mojo Working, Part 2 3 Goodbye Newport Blues 3 This was nice, Muddy. Got me clogged up in all my holes.
I’m sure this would have been great in an evening lounge 65 years ago.
Some good stuff here. Hoochie Coochie Man, Got my Mojo Working, Baby Please Don't Go ... when I hear live albums like this from way back,I can just imagine being there!
Usually depends on my mood what I think of this music. Last night I'd have given 2.5 stars, today it's closer to 4 (better mood, less tired). Gonna give it 4, because if I heard this in a club, I'd be blown away by it.
A proper blues album and Muddy Waters is goated.
Muddy has a good voice. I just can't get past how similar all the songs sound.
I do usually have a cut off point when it comes to how far back I’m willing to go with my music. But every once in a while, something predating that point will actually surprise me. It’s very rare though. This is simply one of the true to the name blues albums I’ve ever heard. The people playing on this just live and breathe blues. They have that stuff coursing through their veins. And I mean, when the guys name is Muddy Waters, what did you really expect? Anybody with the name Muddy means fucking business. This man is considered the father of Chicago blues, and I’m inclined to believe that. Disagreeing would be like saying James Brown isn’t the reason why funk music turned out the way it did. These genres would never be the same without these figures. He may not have the commanding power of James Brown. But this man sure has a voice to match. It’s like the precursor to the Hendrix style of singing. And the gravel adds a whole other layer of coolness to this recording. I could probably listen to people who sound like this sing on just about anything. Also shoutout to James Cotton, who is going absolutely ham on the harmonica the entire time. He really cares many parts of this. But most of the band is pretty great. Rating: 6/10
Great listen. I do find blues a little repetitive sometimes, but there was an infectious joy about this, probably as it’s live, that overrode that. 3.75
3.5/5
Dope for what it is not not my cup of tea
Absolute classic. Cannot listen to this without bobbing your head and getting the feels.
I'm certainly starting to get tired of the live albums on this list, but I could never get tired of Muddy Waters.
Imagine playing a song so well that you decide to run it back and play it even BETTER the second time. Eat your heart out John Mayall and Co.
Really good album
It's perfectly nice blues. Competent, really lively at times, easy listening, not massively varied. I had a nice enough time with it.
This went by pretty smoothly and I listened to it while I was walking and it was nice and peaceful. I feel like there isn’t that much to say about it and that is good and bad but all in all pretty much average.
Love Muddy Waters - his voice is perfect classic-blues-about-to-birth-rock. How many Zeppelin and Stones songs ripped him off from this collection almost directly? My only issue here - and it's not insignificant - is that the sound drives me a little nuts - I almost didn't believe there was even a bass on these tracks, it's tough-to-impossible to hear and the overall effect is one that sounds incomplete. It's a great document tho because a lot of these versions are better than the originals. Classic songs to be sure, I'd listen again but prefer the more balanced studio versions. 7/10 3 stars
Solid blues
Muddy Waters at the height of his creativity and performance prowess...what else is there to understand?
I have not heard of this album before as I haven’t listened to very much of this genre. I didn’t mind it so much but I’m not a huge fan of live recordings so I found the album to be kind of meh. Maybe I’ll listen to some other songs from Muddy Waters but I probably won’t listen to this album again.
I liked it, just something left me wanting more. Can't really describe what it is. 3.5
Always a good listen with Mr. Muddy Waters, not one of my favorite albums of his but again still a great listen in blues is the best
Imagining this record in its original context didn’t happen for me: I’ve heard these moves copied across too many antecedents, which is understandable as it’s a perfect example of what it is. My inability to raise anything specific to this record is a measure of the extent that what made it fresh became wallpaper to my musical childhood.
Enjoyed listening to this, although mainly as a historical document. Love the Them cover of "Baby Please Don't Go", of course
Great live album, but he's got better stuff if you ask me. I've always loved Muddy Waters.
If it wasnt so repetitive, it would get 4 stars. It's a solid 3.5
the mans a legend. This album is great but not my personal fav from him. That post war blues though is something special
Muy buen directo de blues. Es muy interesante lo bien grabado que está.
Good listening
Probably more of a 4.5.
Average set of songs
A great talent and really cool performance of an album. Not much I'd pick to listen to again, but I enjoyed most of what I heard when it was on.
Love me some good blues.
Essential blues. One of the best.
It's Muddy Waters, Live. It's great, I could listen to it over and over. One of the best blues artists just playing his heart out for the audience.
I enjoyed this one
classic blues
Rating: 6/10 Good but not my thing.
Quite nice, even for a live album.
I could listen to this kind of stuff all day, very enjoyable easy listening.
Excellent blues album by one of the all time greats.
Great, soulful, tasty guitar licks.
molto piacevole
This was cool. Not lots to say other than I enjoyed it.
Good Old Muddy - to play some real soulful blues!
Blues foundation…. Felt like I was at his concert whilst going for a run…. I’ve got my mojo working stood out.
Yet another area where I'm embarrassingly ignorant of music I should know better. Absolutely captivating; no notes.
I don’t normally listen to blues/jazz but this was an amazing live album. It must’ve been an absolute blast to see this live especially given that it was probably the first time a lot of white people heard blues. 4.0
Excellent, fun, energetic Chicago Blues!
It’s fine.
Ik, but not a real standout for me.
Gave this a five last time and see no reason to change it this time.
Great live album with a lot of soul. I'm just not the biggest blues fan. 7/10
Normally not a big fan of live recordings, but blues always feel so much more alive when you can hear the sound of the audience blend in with the music.
With the opening track being old school slow blues, I thought this just wasn't going to be for me. But by the third track the pace had picked up and I found myself enjoying this album. It's not something I would listen to again, but I'm glad that I listened to it.
Muddy Waters is classic, love his sound Top tracks: Tiger In Your Tank, I’ve Got My Mojo Working
This was really good for a genre I struggle with. Everything was clear and tight very fun.
Great album. Muddy had his own guitar playing style and it shows in that live album. 4 stars
I guess, if I'm in the mood for blues, this would be pretty good.
forica
I wasn’t particularly moved by this recording, idk. I like the blues, and Muddy Waters, but this performance just felt a bit off to me, like there wasn’t enough energy from Muddy or the crowd until Mojo hit. Nonetheless it had pretty great sound fidelity for 1960 and the voice was clear.
I am just not that into the blues. The repetition kills me. I see the merit in this album, but it just didn't do it for me. And there is a lot of harmonica on this album and it may be at its most annoying here because it seems to mostly only make one sound where it vibrates on one note for the entire song. It is actually kind of interesting this way but still mostly annoying to me. I feel so good I feel like balling the jack? I put a tiger in your tank? What is Muddy talking about? And the people love the mojo song so much that muddy plays it twice? Goodbye Newport Blues kind of hits weird right now because there was a shooting at Newport on the Levee last night and people were running and hiding and families were just trying to listen to music and eat dinner and it's almost not safe to leave your house anymore. I wasn't there but I didn't like reading about it because it seems like one of those places that should be immune to this sort of thing. Unfortunately this song failed to elicit much emotion from me. I'll give this two stars though because Muddy vibrates his mouth sometimes while singing and it makes me laugh.
Uhhh groooovy und vibey und eifach gut
muddyyyyy chicago blues tiime freumi. macht afoch freud wie sie vom 1 ufs 4i chömed. erste song banger. nocher chunter mit hoochie coochie man. rieeeese tune. but you know im heeeeeaaar. huere geil. s tönt alles so knackig aaah schön. baby plis don go au siick. soon forgotten schö lamsam plus slide gitarre. und s schlagzüg macht eimol de "psh" ufem splash. tiger in your tank slaaappt. i feel so good auuuuu. fuuuuuck. han früener sooo viel blues glost da tuet gad guet. i got my mojo isch chli meh crowdpleaser schnelle blues, live chli geiler als zum so lose glaub. nocher part two?? dune moment.

I’m conflicted what to give this one. If you’re a fan of the blues, this is top notch early blues. But I feel like on this recording specifically, a lot of what made Muddy Waters so influential is buried by the rest of the band. What I love about Muddy Waters is equally his voice and his guitar work - yet on this album, his guitar work takes a back seat to the other instruments for a lot of it. This is a cool performance if you already know Muddy Waters, but if you don’t, it might not stand out. Ultimately, 3 stars - because I like it, but I would listen to his other work over this almost every time. I’m not sure if Folk Singer is on this list - maybe it is - but that would have been my choice.
blues and jazz are critical reasons parts of creating rock and roll, but they do not work for me. most of the songs are pretty boring, even though the talent is evident. normally would rate it a 3 because it ends on strong songs, but the background crowd noises are the worst part of live albums
Slower-paced blues music. Impressive quality for a live performance. Most of the songs sounded very similar to one another.
Grandfather of blues. Love this music.
Excellent album
I was never a Pearl Jam fan and after listening to this album, I'm still not a fan.
Crazy album to start with
geiles zeug
Great
Nice album!
Would love to be there
Given the right setting it's an amazing album
Incredible, and live!! Not normally as big a fan of live albums, but this is great
Got my mojo working …
nagranie z koncertu, lepiej posluchac tych samych utworow z plyt
Great
Очаровательной красоты блюз, заставляющий двигаться и извиваться каждую часть тела
Hm kinda fun lil not bad 3 very jazz blues cool stuff
I have seen video of this show. The scrawny white guys in the crowd dancing are wildly entertaining.
Really great, especially by live album standards. It’s so lively
Enjoyable listen, but kind of boring. I guess there's a reason that certain things become cliche.
This is a good live Muddy Waters album! Enjoyed the listen :)
Rock before rock, edgy and soulful, great crowd as well, just the recording was a bit higher quality or remastered. 3.2
Not really my taste, but it's amazing hearing a lot of style that exists in modern music already in his.
This is what I think of when I think of the blues. The repetition lets you settle in and not worry about where you’re heading. He’s cool, sounds great, and is backed by some folks that really know how to do it.
Teils spannend und mitreißend, bspw. im Lied 'Got my Mojo working' (just don't work on You).
Live albums are not my taste, but muddy waters is always excellent
Best song: I've got my mojo working Vibes: Classic smokey room jazz Themes: Good times with darling
New listen: noice blues!
Fun listen, good intro to post war blues
Great music. The year I was born.
Exciting live blues from the main Muddy Waters. Everything is quality here - Waters is a commanding frontman and him and the band supply plenty of energy. Playing is tight all around. Songs range from raucous to slower and more somber blues. It’s all good stuff.
BL: Never listened to Muddy Waters properly before, I know he's one of the quintessential blues artists, and what a way to start than with a live album, the jams and the gigs which form the roots of African American interpretive music, truly the best way to indulge in this genre. AL: This is really something special. Creativity and rawness. Waters truly was one of the best to ever do it from the looks of things. Especially the closer, wow. Another thing that really needs to be talked about is the mixing on this album - I'm not sure if the version I was listening to is remastered (it is not labelled as so) but the fact a live recording from 1960 sounds as crisp and developed as it does, when recordings even from the late 70s don't sound anywhere near as professional as this shows the raw talent of all of the creatives within the blues scene at this time, and it's a shame many will not have their names recognised on the same level as their white counterparts of the time. What an awesome record FT: "Goodbye Newport Blues" 4/5
Great blues. I know Muddy Waters is one of the biggest names in blues but I don't think I've ever listened to him before today. It's an excellent performance. To my ears, it sounds pretty straightforward but I also don't know the history of the genre well and I'm probably not hearing what was 'modern' about this at the time. “I’ve Got My Mojo Working” is a clear standout. Really fun. I like the studio recordings at the end of the album. They're bonus tracks but they sound fantastic.
My goodness look at that beautiful archtop guitar on the album cover. Gorgeous. The toughest thing for me to get over with blues is the repetitiveness and the proclivity to use the same chord progressions, the same stingers, the same turnarounds, and the same licks. I hate having this opinion because blues is cool and the idea of blues is always something that I feel like personally resonates with my soul. But I can't help it! I sometimes feel like Blues has a limited vocabulary, or better said only makes words using 10 or 11 letters of the alphabet, instead of the full 26. They certainly make good use of these 10 or 11, but man is it just a very limited approach. Take those 10 or 11 and recreate them over so many years without a lot of experimenting and evolution, and you just get a little.. frustrated? Fortunately I feel less so when listening to these older records and artists. So much of blues was about "making do" but making it will feeling, and these early artists are just so authentic when they are making do and singing about their problems. One of my old jobs had an authentic Newport Jazz Fest poster hanging nonchalantly on a wall in an administrative building. I remember walking down the hallway with some higher up person and I said "Hey you know this is a really nice poster right? It might even be worth some money." and he was like "really? It's mine, I hung it up, I found it in my attic [my memory is failing here] and my wife didn't want me to hang it in the house.". Then, in some harsh but serendipitous way, a few days later some angry kid came through the administrative building and trashed the place- ripping the poster off the wall and in pieces. I should have stopped him there and asked him if I could have had it. Ok enough storytelling. This album is a great listen. I think from this type of blues, it doesn't often get much better than Muddy Waters. And for me, Delta Blues is probably my favorite sub genre and he's who I think of when I think of it.
I'm not usually a fan of live albums, but this sounds really great. Muddy Waters is a great artist, I'm not as familiar with his work as some of his peers, but will definitely be revisiting this and listening to more of his stuff. I thought it was interesting that in an album that's only 9 tracks long he does "Got My Mojo Workin'" twice. That takes this down a peg. 3/5
Definitely a legendary blues artist. This stuff always sounds great on live records. I don't know if I'll ever find a blues record as a whole that I can listen to front to back without ever getting bored but it is good music overall. A nice dive bar or the south come to immediate mind with this.
I got my mojo working baby! Great blues/jazz and the live feel elevated this for sure.
So boring. Every song sounds the same. No build or variety. Not a single song that was enjoyable. I can understand that this may have significance and was an influence for better music, but it is really boring when listened to 60+ years later.
Not my kind of music sorry
Classic bluesy album
Excellent live album, it really sounds like you're there.
A classic album, beautiful blues tunes, great background music.
Blind album, know the artist from another album on here. I pretty much feel the same way as the last album of his I rated. Pretty middle of the road. Intriguing but not my thing.
Straight up, old school blues.
7.5/10
Listened Before? N Good stuff. A master in his prime. The subject matter hasn't aged very well in some cases, but still a good listen. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: I Feel So Good
Suena bien, pero se repite un poco
Really good.
Muddy Waters has a nice voice but I just can't do blues; all the songs sound the same. I also learned harmonica might be my least favorite instrument after hearing the same fucking trill one hundred times.
A great live album from one of the Blues legends.
Fun music
Lives are always good.
1960 Live Blues album Standouts: I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man, Baby Please Don't Go, I Got My Mojo Working, 4/5
Cool blues 7,5
really enjoyed this, chilled, guitar work was great
It is very influential among many genres and generations. Raw, High energy, authentic blues. Songs are quite fun and I would recommend listening, especially if you're not necessarily a heavy blues listener. This album did a good job getting me interested in the genre as well as Muddy Waters and good ol Blues.
Classic Muddy, classic blues. Very good intro Muddy album.
Good blues, I just don't like blues that much
Good to hear some early blues. Very clearly influenced lots of the music I love. Maybe I’m just a product of the times, but I love the stuff it influenced more than I love this. Great name though - he’s got a future working for a rivers charity if this whole blues thing doesn’t work out for him. 4/5
01) I Got My Brand On You - 6,5 02) I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man - 6,0 03) Baby, Please Don't Go - 6,5 04) Soon Forgotten - 6,0 05) Tiger in Your Tank - 6,5 06) I Feel So Good - 7,0 07) Got My Mojo Working - 7,0 08) Got My Mojo Working, Part 2 - 7,0 09) Goodbye Newport Blues - 6,5 TOTAL: 6,56 (66/100) Second live album in a row. Somehow I wish it was "Queen Live at Wembley", but it's not... So, blues. I can't help it, but to me it sounds like they are playing the same song for 35 minutes. Which they could, there's been a few albums like that... The music and the singing are great, the vibe is good, everything is perfect if you like blues. Yep.
I liked this fine.
What a master. It's so great that we have recordings like this to hear the greats in their prime. I love Muddy Waters voice so much.
Goodbye Newport blues
Ok. Not my style
I think this album is good but it's not the music I prefer to listen to.
What's to say? There's really nothing not to like here if you're into rock & roll or blues at all. Ol' Muddy's a monster -- without him, basically the entire Stones/Yardbirds side of the British Invasion never happens. Surprised a little at how mellow a lot of it sounds. But it's straight pure blues. Find a chair, pour a drink, and let Muddy shuffle your sads away. Unexpected banger: Tiger in Your Tank
Six stars
This album gave me the blues.
Плотный концертник. Блюз в самом классическом представлении. Крепкая 4, потому что я и подрыгался, и погрустил.
Muddy Waters was a prolific blues artist who had an incredible impact on modern music. With his vocal skills, stage performances, and electric musicianship, he inspired the hard rock sound which developed over the next few decades. This live album showcased some of the artist's top hits from the 1950s.
Swanky yummy good. Old school blues with all the grooves and space bonus points for being a live album.
This guy's got mojo
Phenomenal live album!
So much greatness in one place. Had not done this as an album, what a different experience. Lovely.
Classic blues vibes Great work on the mouthy
As the first “Live Blues Album” as Wikipedia mentions, I guess it’s important. It’s a solid performance with a lot of energy, and apparently influential in its “electric blues” sound to have a notable impact on Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Hendrix. I just don’t like most live albums, but overall this was a decent listen and didn’t have too much annoying crowd noise.
Incredible sound, can't imagine what the audience thought of this in 1960.
Wow. That was good. Two years old when that came out, so kinda missed it first time around.
2,5
Pretty good. Nothing super memorable though.
Very nice for sending postcards
I have found that I more prefer musics that have grown out of the blues than the blues itself. So much so that often when material from these other genres "get too bluesy" I am uninterested. That all said, I think this is an okay Muddy Waters album but I much prefer his Electric Mud.
Time space and place lens very important for this one I assume. Pretty standard blues type arrangements that would've been pretty out there for 1960
I enjoyed it, and it was great to listen to an album by someone whose name I've heard for years but never listened to. I don't anticipate listening to it often, which is why I ultimately went "3" instead of "4", but it was close!
Muddy does what muddy do. You could too if yo momma named you muddy too
This is the pace my brain is constantly at
Cool to see where sounds originate.
It’s like listening to a treasured piece of history… but alas, I am not the pirate meant for this treasure chest. I can, however, appreciate what Muddy Waters did for music. Fav Songs: I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man, Baby, Please Don’t Go Least: hmmm
Meh
melancholic
Such a foundational album. Great listen!
"Bitch told me I'm the goat, I set a coochie trend. I got 6 hoes on the floor, I need a coochie plan." - YN Jay "I'm gonna make you girls lead me by the hand, then the world will know the hoochie coochie man" - Muddy Waters Really delightful live album, classic 12 bar blues which gives so much space for great soloing. Otis Spann's piano work here is outstanding, so lively. Same goes for James Cotton's harmonica playing and Francis Clay's drumming. Waters' band is so good here and they really imbue a lot of these songs with life and energy. Kinda feels like the guitars are a little subdued in the mix, like unless I actively focus on them I might forget, which is maybe the point for these song structures. I have no clue what is actually meant by putting "a tiger in your tank" but I know it'll get you sent to horny jail. A whole will and testament could be written in honor of this performance of "I've Got My Mojo Workin'" but I'll spare the time. Whole set is great, so much swagger, exuberance, and confidence, I really enjoyed this.
I mean what is there to say? He’s THE 20th century American blues recording artist. Such an easy listen. A great showman on this live recording. It’s nice to hear him pre-British invasion, too. A lot of the invading bands (particularly The Rolling Stones) idolized him and while I don’t think that changed his sound, he probably had some feelings about it. Anyway. This is a treasure and I’m glad it came up. Standout tracks: I Got My Brand On You, I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man, Tiger in Your Tank, I’ve Got My Mojo Working, pts. 1 and 2
Where Rock started. Enjoyed this more than I would have expected
Of course it's good. (Not something I'd listen to that often day, though.)
Blues is one of the few genres that hasn’t evolved much over time. Veer too far from the original formula and it’s no longer blues. There are bands playing these songs at bars all over the world today, trying to replicate the energy and character that Muddy brought to them 60+ years ago. Timeless! 4.5
A lot of history in this dude. Sounds good for being live and really starts cookin' after a few songs. The last Newport blues festival, so important in multiple ways. Pretty classic. 3.5
The audience watching this at the Newport Folk Festival must have been like, WTF.
This is good. I would be interested in hearing a version that wasn't live.
Muddy waters is obviously an icon. That album was not my cup of tea though.
Excellent record. This stuff never gets old. Would have been a treat to hear him play live.
Picture this, it's 2001 and your mom just took you to Famous Dave's. You sit down and stare at the tires, license plates and gas pumps surrounding you. The waitress brings you your fourth refill of mountain dew: code red. You pray over your Chicken Tenders and Wilbur Beans and then dig in. Muddy Waters fills your ears, playing the same song 400 times in a row. Two stars.
It’s not what I would usually choose to listen to, but was nice background music for work. He walked so Stevie Ray Vaughan could run!
Another enjoyable live album.
Dat water do be muddy do Best Song's: I've Got My Mojo Working & Got My Mojo Working - Pt. 2 Worst Song: Everything else was meh
hoochie coochie, meanie-bo-beanie
Very good, this is what real music should sound like.
Favourite Song: Soon Forgotten This is the kind of music that you know is amazing live or hearing in a bar. I think that is a lot of the energy, as without it, it can feel a little backgroundy.
Great live album. Infectious energy!
Es Muddy Wàters, no hay más que decir. El Blues en todo su esplendor
Man... what an important recording! Not quite to the level as that BB King, but solid!
nix
So smooth
I just find the blues so depressing
Enjoyed this. Really like the guitar sound that he used in this and would love to see someone play like this IRL.
If you want to get down with some blues well this is it
A legend who many of my favorite bands cite as one of their influences. I think I would enjoy a studio album more than a live one.
Fett, Zigarre und nen Whiskey dazu am besten
Good, but not THAT good
Needed this after the recent recommendations
Clearly a milestone but too old for me
Great live album. I had forgotten what a good singer Muddy Waters was.
Essential folk blues.
Loved it! Good background music while you’re getting stuff done
Great blues
Awesome album--I love it!!
Bien mais un peu longuet
Finally some good old blues
Mention spéciale pour I feel so good et Soon forgotten, mais j'ai adoré la majorité des chansons de l'album. J'adore ce style de musique ! ça met de bonne humeur et ça donne envie de faire une petite danse d'époque ahha même si je ne connais pas !
what a nice album!
Enjoyed this enough and there is a mood where I really enjoy listening to the Blues so could see myself appreciating this much more in a bar with dim lighting and a nice beer.
This is a fantastic live record. Really shows off what Muddy Waters could do.
Muddy Waters plays the Blues.
Solid blues
Good!
Bluesy blues
Live blues by the legend
Excellent electric blues.
Delta Blues!
Amazing!!
Great blues!
Not for me
Not my vibe but decent background music for work.
Great sound for a live album from the era. Fantastic band. Hoochie Coochie Man is the highlight, but I Got My Brand on You and I Feel So Good aren’t far behind. You can hear the influence on bands like The Stones and Them.
At Newport It sounds amazing, brilliant voice, excellent band Can really understand how influential it was, mainly cos it’s just really good. I Got My Brand on You Hoochie Coochie Man Baby, Please Don’t Go - that really fizzes I Feel So Good Both the Got My Mojos Listened to it this morning while making breakfast and coffee, mmm, really cookin’ dem grits, getting dat skillet hot for dem biscuits and gravy, mmmhmmm, gonna cook me some crayfish, nice’n’hot But I genuinely really enjoyed it - think it will go in my rotation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Blues - im Gegensatz zu Jazz - mag ich sehr gerne. Und dieses Album ist natürlich großartig, auch wenn mir im Allgemeinen Studioalben besser gefallen als Livealben.
folksy, blues. nice but not my fav
I don't know why I didn't expect there to be blues included in this, but I was pleasantly surprised by this. I'm trying to get more into jazz and blues this year and this was a great way to continue that goal. Tiger in Your Tank was great and so was both parts of Got My Mojo Working.
Classic Muddy Waters. Love it
Pretty much quintessential Delta Blues that rips from start to finish. It’s easy to hear why this was so resonant at the time.
Wonderful Album, love it! 5 stars!!
cruise'n down the mississippi on a old steam boat with a rock'n jazz band
A lot of classic 12 bar blues-type stuff, but gorgeously executed. Favourite tracks: I Got My Brand On You, Tiger In Your Tank, I've Got My Mojo Working (both parts; this is a jam!).
I don’t usually listen to the blues but Muddy Waters is where it is at.
Jazz with hints of soul and big band. OK for jazz.
Just... not my favorite. I understand why it's "Good", but for me it was a little too slow and dated to find enjoyable. I think in a movie at the right scene you could perfectly fit one of these beautiful songs, but it's not for me for daily driving.
I mean I like jazz so...
Goddamn, this hits! Like the cover itself, a classic Country/Folk album. A bit rusty, but who gives a shit? It hits!
I'm completely fresh to the genre of blues and If I'm honest, this may be the first blues album i've ever listened too. I fear this album would be a slow burn for me and I'm not sure I'd want to commit to it. I just find it slightly repetitive however it is a very easy listen and I wasn't bored waiting for it to finish. Playlist Track: Got My Mojo Working Rating: 2/5 Date Listened: 08/01/2024
Never listened to Muddy Waters before. Had a lot of fun with this album. The swing rhythm with hearty blues was a banger the whole way. Listened to the whole thing driving in a snowstorm.
Never realized how much this inspired. Enjoyed it.
Good but bluesy
Fantástico, música con alma, coordinación de músicos casi perfecta.
Outstanding, an absolute joy to discover such an amazing recording.
A man and a guitar throwing down for a bunch of white people. Muddy could play and this is the hits. He's wailing with a pretty good band.
Some really old school Blues this time. Definitely feels like the blueprint of great Blues. Nice listening experience even more than 60 years later. The sound is great especially for a live album. It's really cool but not really one of my favourites. I feel like I wouldn't necessarily come back to it.
Sounds good, but just ain't what I tend to dig. Would never deliberately listen to it in my spare time, but also wouldn't fuss if I heard it playing for whatever reason. An average of 3 stars.
Helvíti fínn hann muddy og þétt plata
Skemmtilegur Chicago blues, mojoinn að virka fínt. Bein lína frá þessu í Rolling Stones og Jimi Hendrix.
Day1- how cool would it have been to be there just to see Got My Mojo Working
5/10 Not a Jazz guy but it was an enjoyable listen. highklights were Tiger in your Tank for me
A great easy listen. Even though I am from the area I have never attended the Newport festivals. Tiger in Your Tank and Goodbye Newport stand out. Mellow sound and vibe overall
I was like ??? And then I was like dayuuummm okaayyyyy Mr muddy waters Didn’t make it all the way thru every song tho it got too redundant for me
Sound quality is really great considering it’s live from the 60s. Classic blues! Love Muddy’s voice!
Great MW...funny right after that we listened to the Stones "rolling stone"and they covered MW perfect.
Yeah. It's fine. Would've been fun to listen to when it was edgy, now it's just old.
Um… This influenced pretty much everything
Now I remember why I like the blues.
Nobody would disagree if I say that Muddy Waters is a legend. The man is to blues what Louis Armstrong is to jazz. This album is a testament to what he and his band of virtuosos can do in front of a borderline-violent crowd. Legend says the Newport Festival audience had gone berserk during Little Richard's concert the night before, forcing hours of police intervention. Getting on that stage must have been sick. However, Waters and his band were able to tame them all with their hypnotizing performance. Not only that, Chess, his then discography, taped the concert. The resulting record (this record) was the key to popularizing the Blues in America.
nice
Great live live blues album.
Awesome!
I'm sure it was good at the time or if you love the blues, but for me there's nothing special about this. We know about blues. it's a bit basic and not very interesting or even enjoyable.
Great band- I really loved the drums, and harmonica. I wish you could hear the bass better in the mix. Favorite songs were tiger in tank and mojo working.
Iconic and amazing. Everything about this is great
Incredible.
Enjoyed it from start to finish.
I need to listen to more blues
Pure, essential blues recording. Sounds as good as anything Muddy Waters ever did in the studio. Fave Songs (All Songs, from most to least favorite): Got My Mojo Working, I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man, Got My Mojo Working, Part 2, I Got My Brand on You, Goodbye Newport Blues, I Feel So Good, Soon Forgotten, Tiger in Your Tank
Alfa blues. Tiger in your Tank is the best song. Blues clues was named after this blues.
yeah keep repeating the same thing over and over. FUCK vocals.
Sounds like every other blues album. 2.5
Waters is a LEGEND of the blues scene, and this album proves why.
I don't know much about blues music, but I thought this was a pretty good album. I enjoyed the piano playing, and Muddy Waters's vocals are great as well. The songs were a great mixture of different tempos, and the audience noise added an additional layer to the energy of the performance. Both parts of "I've Got My Mojo Working" were the high point of the album for me, and I liked the ebb and flow of the tempo and energy throughout both parts of the song. The other songs were fine, but not knowing blues music very well, they just kind of all ran together for me.
Not really my thing, but it's not bad, the fact that it's live gives it a plus
Like the live recording. Not something I'd listen to often, but has a great vibe
Though it seems that this Album / Artist / Performance was a genre-defining one - it us Not my Kind of music. In my opinion it lacks musical direction and dramaturgy and is a little to repetitive in a kind of boring way.
4/5 Some good blues!
An ok live album. It got a bit boring halfway through but was still serviceable. Feeling a light to decent 3 on this one
Well recorded. Songs are too short but he probably did that on purpose as he was playing to a festival crowd and not necessarily a Muddy Waters' crowd.
had high expectations, but i don't think i vibe with this style of blues as much as others
Very good musically but I'm not the biggest fan of live albums
1. 3.5/5 2. 3.5/5 3. 3/5 4. 4/5 5. 3/5 6. 3/5 7. 3.5/5 8. 3.5/5 9. 3.5/5 = 3.38
Too classy and traditional
An sich gut. Allerdings nicht meine Musik
It's Muddy. If you love Delta Blues, this is a good album.
Sonzao blues classico e pa
Blues seems like one of those genres you have to hear live. Oh, to be born 80 years sooner and see this show.
It's Muddy doing what Muddy does. Overall a good listen and I enjoyed it but it's nothing special... although "...Mojo working" always gets me up and dancing.
This was enjoyable, and I might come back to it again. I'd have loved to hear a little bit more of the energy from the audience, it didn't feel intimate... but that's not an easy feat, so I'm not going to hold it against anyone from the recording team.
