At Newport 1960

Soulful!

Ik hou dus stiekem best een beetje van blues. I'm your hoochie coochie man maakt wel gebruik van het meest gebruikte riffje ooit haha. Baby Please don't go is wel een persoonlijk favorietje van dit album. Maar als ik het vergelijk met Depeche Mode zou ik dit minder snel nog een keer luisteren. Ik zou dit 3,5 geven als het kon.... EDIT: Misschien toch maar een 3... Het album begint me toch een beetje te vervelen na een tijdje en merk dat ik het best lastig vind om aandachtig te blijven luisteren

It’s definitely a defining blues album. Very memorable licks, but at the end of the day, it’s still the blues. There’s o nly so much you can do with a I IV I V IV I chord progression.

tiger in your tank, mojo working pt 1 + 2 are fuego the rest are inoffensive to the ear but not a huge blues fan

As a zoomer born in 2000, this is a very slow listen. I'm not a blues fan and seeing the impact this album has had is hard due to it's major impact being on the next generation of artists in the late 60's / early 70's. With that the energy that this album brings is very much alive with many of the performers giving it there all. I think for me the album really shows this at got my mojo working pt 1 and 2. Where I think the album becomes a hard listen is when the traditional blues come out in songs such as soon forgotten, I'm your hoochie coochie man, and I got my brand on you. I wouldn't say these songs are bad just more not my taste, the hardship sound that comes from these songs aren't up my alley and I much prefer the more energetic songs. Overall in a personal rating considering all factors I would give the album a 6.5/10. Not something I would regularly listen to, but for the time of this album the performance is the best I've heard. I could see this review changing with the more music I listen to that is from this generation, but for now my appreciation for these early blues sounds aren't there.

I don't know any of Muddy Waters songs, it was new to me, also this is live album so 3 stars is all I can give.

I liked the pace - great music for cleaning my room. But would I listen to it again? Probably not.

ok

This has to be one of if not the best blues live album my ears have had the pleasure of guiding through. Muddy Waters not only sounds amazing but his guitar is simply fantastic. Lyrically there are two or three tracks that make up the engine here.

Meh. Guet. Nöd mis. 3 Stern.

Classic Muddy.

I can hear the inspiration for a lot of rock and roll, but my god the harmonica guy needs to relax.

Waters churns out a pretty damn good live performance here. He's got nothing to prove, already being one of the greatest blues legends of all time, but this record is especially notable with how he managed to pull off this set with the entire city of Newport, Rhode Island burning the fuck down around him. A perfectly serviceable live album, although I think there's some better representations of Muddy's catalogue that don't require the extraordinarily violent context. A riotous 3.5/5.

3 Classic blues. Nothing mind-blowing, but a nice reminder of how much rock music owes to the genre. The numerous covers of Baby, Please Don’t Go being case in point, but the inklings of a musical movement yet to come are felt on every song here. Muddy sounds great, with my two favorites here probably being the mentioned Baby, Please Don’t Go and I Feel So Good (I’m convinced Stevie Ray Vaughn ripped off the latter for Pride and Joy), but for the most part this kind of ran together for me. The reprise of I’ve Got My Mojo Working was a fun surprise, but I didn’t find the song necessarily overly interesting enough to warrant it. But then again, I’m not sure I would consider anything here quite interesting enough to warrant a reprise. I know Muddy was majorly influential on blues and rock as a whole, but my only real takeaway after listening to this album three times is “that was enjoyable enough”. Would maybe give a re-listen if I’m feeling in a particularly bluesy mood.

Very upbeat, very catchy, a bit samey but I guess that's to be expected. All good songs not much I can really say other than got my Mojo Working is infectiously catchy.

I went through a blues curious phase once. I remember cd shops having 400 compilations of blues artists for cheap and buying a few CDs, nothing really landing. Nowadays I associate blues with blues lawyers on YouTube playing the same three blues licks to sell a 500 dollar drive pedal. As far removed from blues origins as you could possibly get. But in between there's the joy of playing blues riffs, the influence of blues on a thousand artists I like. Listening to muddy waters triggered both impulses in me- the music is satisfying, but not something I really want to listen to. It sounds "blues by the numbers" and that just doesn't appeal to my ears anymore. This album predates any studio album and having a live blues album from this era on this list seems sensible. I thought the fidelity was pretty good, but the blues music itself was fairly plodding, and of course predictable, which is what blues is all about really. But I'd hoped for some more vibe from a live album. Objectively it probably deserves a higher rating than my subjective one, which is a 6/10, based on influence and legacy, but musically I think 3 stars is fair

It's a solid blues album.

Absolut blues record but by far not the best I’ve ever heard.

One of those things I enjoy in the moment but don't really revisit without prompting.

Classic blues right here. Though not my preferred genre, gotta acknowledge that Muddy delivers live with the striking baritone vocals coupled with the smooth instrumentals. I know all the aunties were grooving to This back in the day. Also I love the energy he puts into some of the tracks like “I’ve got my mojo working. Also hoochie coochie man is a wild name for a track 😂

Likes: the smoothest blues, harmonica softened in the live recordings, tasty vocals, a slow heat up to an electric good time Dislikes: the remastered bonus studio tracks sound more harsh than the live ones, I could leave all four tbh Favorite Tracks: Got My Mojo Working (great time), Goodbye Newport Blues (that piano tho), Favorite Lyrics: "I got $700, don't you mess with me", "got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you", "I got some red hot tips I got to keep on ice"

Another 3*

Good.

I'm not a jazz fan but damn, Muddy Waters is amazing!

No doubt an iconic blues album, I just don't feel as though I have an adequate enough pallete to fully appreciate it. I love the vocals, though.

Great album, I liked the live aspect to the whole thing, just not my favorite sound.

solid, i know it’s old but the production brings it down a bit for me

AJ: Legend

a bit short but nice listen 3/5

Fun blues. As expected, a bit rambly

Nothing I can really say that others haven’t already.

довольно скучно(

Good songs. Sound quality good for a live album.

Du bon blues, mais rien qui m'a largement impressionné, peut-être que les versions lives sont significativement meilleure que les versions studios, mais j'avais un peu l'impression d'entendre une compilation si ce n'était pas des bruits de foule. 7/10

I preferred Hard Again, mainly because the music was a bit… harder? A lot of this is quite laid back, albeit still enjoyable because it’s real authentic blues innit, and that’s always evocative. My highlights are the occasions when they do kick the energy up a notch and have a rollicking good time, like on ‘I’ve Got My Mojo Working’.

Timo sen sanoi: vanha kunnon Muddy. Luotettava kolmonen

Aight

incredible quality for a live album in the 60s. it's not really the sort of music i listen to but i really appreciate it knowing that it is the root of all theusic i do like

Fun

Great live album. Music is clearly 5 stars, but I do not think live albums should be included on the list.

Makes a very robust and classic impression.

Great harmonica throughout. Little repetitive at times but that's 60s blues

old school blues in a live setting. this is quality shit. there’s even a song that does the blues standard “da da da da da” routine. nice. highlights: “i’m your hoochie coochie man”, “baby, please don’t go”, “i feel so good”.

Another live album. Cool. This one doesn't have a super "live" sound which is nice. I completely get the appeal of this. This is the framework for a lot of sounds I really like, this is just too repetitive for me.

Great voice and delivery, even if the recording isn't amazing. Energy is class

A solid example for call and response management. Personally, with every blues album, I tend to get a bit worn out by the middle of the album. Live albums like this one make it a bit easier to keep my interest.

Fíla þetta. Mjög basic Chicago blús, þannig séð, en gott stöff.

Waters is revolutionary for his distinctive electric blues sound which would influence rock for decades to come. He does justice for a live recording, but it feels pretty tame and lifeless. He has the technique down and I'm impressed by the use of distortion and other effects to produce a rough and hardcore sound (for its time). It's also pretty as showcasing what blues is capable of which its groove and use of repetition. Some pretty iconic songs that leave an impression on you, but also some that I felt contributed nothing. Favorites: I Got My Brand on You, Baby Please Don't Go, Tiger in Your Tank, I Got My Mojo Working

Some awesome Blues! From one of the greatest!

He's got his mojo working!

Tänkte först att det var en trea, sedan en två när jag lyssnade på det igen, så det får bli en 2.5 istället. Jag har inget mer att tillägga.

"Mojo Working" is a highlight. Not a big blues guy, but fully respect what this era of musicians brought to the table. You can feel the audience tapping their feet on the recording.

Muddy Waters is one of the greatest blues musicians of all-time. But I'm not really a blues guy. Three chords can only take you so far. That said, the soul and feel that he gets across through this recording really elevates the music. Still, and this might be blasphemous - I'm going to be honest with myself, and give this three stars. I'm in no rush to hear it again. After an additional sixty-plus years of musical evolution, this is a bit boring in retrospect (though the infectious two-part performance of "Got My Mojo Working" almost single-handedly want me to bump it up to four stars).

I walked to Sainsbury’s listening to this which was a trek with the shopping I had. Managed the whole album and it was pleasant. I got… 2 bags for life Oat milk Tomato sauce Sweet chilli sauce Sourdough bread Soy sauce Pink lady apples Onions Peppers Black pepper Cat laser toy Rice vinegar Spring onion Chicken breast Chicken burgers Came to £39.60. Cat too was £4.50, Apples were £3.75 and tomato sauce (not even the big one) was £3.40. Fucking joke

Really cool soul and blues music, but most of the time I spent listening to this I was thinking about how guys like Sam Cooke did it better. Hate to compare but it just kept coming up. On the bright side, it's still amazing how classic and essential this music feels.

I wouldn't say this is Muddy Waters' best live album

It's alright.

It's good, and obviously Muddy Waters is incredibly important and influential. This album falls down for me first because it's a live album, and second because some of the lyrics really make me cringe.

I love Muddy Waters, but I don't necessarily love live recordings - particularly this one that is stereo panned super hard and has a really distracting rumble on the low end.

Cool time capsule and probably the most authentic way of hearing Muddy Waters but I'd have preferred a mono/more as-is recording.

Well done and well executed blues performance by muddy waters. A live performance that doesn’t differ much from the quality of studio sound due to the artists ability to actually sing. This is how live albums should be. Overall this is quintessential blues and this paved the way for so many artists. I don’t particularly love any part but this is important music. 6.0/10

Yet another live album. I don’t love it or hate it. Can’t deny the great sounding classic blues sound though.

Some great music, looses a bit being a live album but enjoyable jazz. 3.3

I was going to say “wow these songs all kinda sound the same” but then I realized I was listening to I’ve Got My Mojo Working - Pt. 2

Toimiihan tää, hitaimmat biisit parhaita. Vahva 3.

i don’t listen to blues, i didn’t think i liked the blues. this kinda slaps though. very american diner vibes

What a voice, last sons amazing. Unfortunately too up tempo for me too enjoy the real bluesy antmosphere, rather misery than Mojo running,

I can appreciate the high energy and recognise its a big influence on many artists that came after, but I cant say id listen to it again anytime soon. Probably suffers from the Seinfeld effect, in that its such a substantial influence that it almost sounds generic when removed from a contemporary perspective.

Pretty nice blues

Very good Blues album; I just don't enjoy straight Blues that much. I find it gets repetitive over a full album. Favorite song: Tiger in Your Tank.

Really classic blues. Good stuff.

Brilliant live recording .and a great mix... does get a bit repetitive but enjoyable. Classic blues guitar.

Solid Blues album…not my genre though

I don’t really know what to say, because it was totally listenable but also didn’t move me at all. Very straight down the middle for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the production given the live album element though!

Pretty great overall, I definitely see the historical significance of Muddy Waters' music, he's quite talented. Having said that, I can't listen to blues like this for very long, I get too anxious for more variety, spoiled by modern music.

I did dance a little.

Some good blues right here, removing 1 point because of the “lives” which shouldn’t be on an album imo

Very cool way to introduce myself into this genre. Love how he sounds perfect even while live. Shit load of historical nostalgia. Helps paint a picture of the scene of music back then.

What I've kind of come to expect from these kinds of albums from this time period. A lot of the instrumentals are genre standards. Not that that's a bad thing as much as it asserts itself as far reaching and influential. Fun listen. Didn't change my life but I liked it. 3.5.

Good blues album. Surprisingly good quality for a live album from the 60s.

Now I need to go watch Blues Brothers.

A great blues listen - his voice is so rich

Great blues and songwriting, just not personally my thing.

ok

muddy’s never really done it for me but you can’t really fault him i don’t think

Yeah okay upbeat old music bezutifull acoustics not my thing

A simple but effective Delta Blues LP that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Waters was /the/ progenitor of electrified rock and roll, and it’s easy to see why with both the chugging ballads and relative rippers on display here.

Legendary vocalist but not my favorite genre

While I'm not a fan of blues as a genre, and this did not change my mind in anyway, it was more enjoyable than the average blues album for me. I really liked how snappy it was, never really lasting longer than necessary, and the crowd wasn't annoying like some other live albums. I just think this was an alright album that is dragged down by my dislike of the genre, pretty much putting it right in the middle.

I’d like to gush effusively about this evidently influential record, but it just doesn’t quite do it for me. The blues is one of those polarising genres which flits between the formulaic and the emotive. On this record, Muddy Waters undeniably channels a boatload of charisma, and there’s just enough variation to keep these songs interesting. But for whatever reason I can’t bring myself to characterise this album as anything other than just okay.

Blues is just okay in my book. I appreciate the art, but I don’t want to sit around listening to it all day.

Solid record and good music but this album sounds a bit too old fashioned for me. I still like it though.

Again, I'm just not that huge of a blues fan, so a lot of this is lost on me! That said, the album was very engaging and had great "live" energy; there was good interaction going on, and it was evident that Muddy Waters and the crowd were feeding off of each other. Also, it was super obvious how in 1960, this sound that Muddy Waters is excelling at would become a base for many rock acts moving into the coming decades. While the album didn't particularly hit me, I thought it was an easy listen!

3/5. A good collection of blues songs but a little short to feel like an album. And because of that, the okay songs feel too long.

I enjoyed it. The best moments are when you can really get the excitement of the atmosphere due to Waters' charisma. However, that is sometimes rare like in the middle of the album when the tunes just sorta lack enthusiasm. Overall though, an enjoyable, if brief, live blues record from a leading artist. A decent record.

Great for blues, but blues just ain’t my bag babyl I’ll give it the respect it deserves but can’t go much higher…. 3/5

Like the other ones, it's a decent album for education purposes but that's about it

Another seed from which many sounds sprang forth.

Siendo el primer álbum de blues en vivo de la historia, Muddy Waters venía triunfando y siendo la cara del blues de Chicago desde hace un largo tiempo previo, y con este trabajo da a conocer su grandeza compositiva e interpretativa. En este concierto y sus grabaciones, expandió su popularidad mucho más allá de lo que ya estaba. Teniendo una voz única, y una banda bien típica de la época, lo que más se destaca es su destreza vocal y las composiciones, que a pesar de repetir sus canciones, no cansan ni se tornan repetitivas. Cabe destacar que gracias a este álbum y a Muddy en general, se pudo llegar a rockear de la forma en que la conocemos hoy en día, fue una referencia y un pionero, que llevó el concepto de rock un paso más, y lo hizo a su manera.

Not a huge blues guy, but I liked this well enough.

3.5/5

a good blues set.

6/10

Jazz from Newport?

Jazzy good time, love a good live album

This entire album is straight-up classic blues, which is good and bad. For the genre, it's pretty good, I would say. On the other hand, there isn't a lot of diversity, neither within songs nor across the album. I love blues (and early jazz), but I don't think this album is quite killing it enough to go higher than a 3.

Decent old blues. Nothing mindblowing but pretty solid. 3/5.

not bad first song was boring second was a good bit better third one I like fourth is a bit slow but not bad I'm liking the fifth it's fun but repetitive sixth is exactly what I was expecting and wanting out of this album and the blend of blues and jazz is great the one after is a part 2 of the sixth and it's still good but not perfect I'm bored now so I'll stop

Interesting, not something I'd have on all day but I enjoyed a good bit of it

Yeah this was great.

It’s all right but the blues bore me.

Probably wouldn't listen to it again

When I first saw the cover of this album I wondered why the Muddy Waters album had a picture of Mahershala Ali on it. Was this the soundtrack to a Muddy Waters biopic? Apparently not, but I'm also not the first person online to see the resemblance and fancast Ali to play Waters. This is a good blues album.

I like the blues and Muddy Waters is one of the masters, but this album is filled with standard average stuff. Hoochie Coochie Man and I Feel So Good standout. The rest, not so much. The recording is not great quality and doesn’t help either.

3 good stuff. Gets a little monotonus though.

I’am not overly a fan of live albums on the generator/ book it kinda takes up way too much space also (while I like the bluesier side of rock) blues isn’t my kinda thing. That being said though it is a genuinely decent album to be honest all of the songs were well written and he sounds great live probably 3/5 for my personal tastes but people who like this kinda thing more should really check it out.

Extremely solid blues album perfect to start your day to Best song: hoochie coochie man Worst song: no stand out slumps in the album

Kinda blown away by the recording quality. It was good but not super memorable to me. Will definitely revisit later, though, when I'm looking for a change of pace! Standouts: I've Got My Mojo Working

Turns out I like live albums

Good stuff, altough not sure I would choose it

Ett band som nog gör sig bäst live och inte inspelat live.

Ok. Wasn't a big difference between songs.

Not bad, but not my genre. Not sure I'll relisten

Very good music but not my favorite genre

Newport has a great build. I was shocked at the acclaim for what starts as fairly straightforward blues tunage. The energy dials up first, then there's an electric murmur in Tiger, and finally a few scorchers finish off the set. But while I like it, the patter is quite dated and the album is shorter and flatter than expected. The hype hasn't grabbed me yet.

It’s fine.

Good stuff, just not sure I'd ever listen to again

I love his feel. Rhythmically it's a lot of fun. I can't not groove along while it's playing. I wish there were a few more jams and solos like those in Got My Mojo Working 1, because outside of that, everything is a bit too familiar these days to enjoy.

Good old-fashioned blues album. Would listen in the background again.

Certainly solid blues, but i don't love anything that presented here.

Even though I'm not a Blues guy, I have to acknowledge his massive influence on the rockers. The likes of Led Zep, the Stones and even Jimi Hendrix basically electrified his sound to create 60s rock music.

Bluesy

Liked it alright, but nothing amazing. I just generally am bored by blues.

Fine live blues. Got a little samey after a while.

An energetic live performance from one of the legends of blues guitar. It's a bit on the short side, but it still is absolutely smoking.

Bluesy, good live

This is a good blues album but nothing spectacular about it.

Bareboned blues. Great musicians, basic lyrics as expected.

The jazz sounds good but the actual singing just sounds like the same words over and over.

legit old school blues 3.5

Too polite. Missing some grit

Not sure

I'm not big on blues, but this is pretty good. Interesting that the Rolling Stones took their name from Muddy Waters' song "Rollin' Stone." That one's not on this album, but I'll have to give it a listen.

More boring than I was expecting

Midt på treet. Gøy, men kommer ikkje til å høre på det igjen.

ganske nice

Estilo personal de un buen guitarrista en los años 60. Canciones con el estilo de la época, acompañado por una buena voz y todo con estilo y ritmo

I really liked this and can see why Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Keith Richards did, too.

I like to think I like the Blues but this was a bit hit and miss for me. This chart seems to lean heavily on LIVE albums as being a cut above studio albums (especially from the 60's) but I just don't agree with that viewpoint. The tracks are pretty well known enough but whether it's the live performance aspect there seems to be a lack of raw emotion from Muddy. He seems to almost rush through the whole concert so he can go home (which would be understandable since there was a riot the night before). The tracks veer from slower numbers to more dancey tunes and he ends up singing the same song twice near the end. The last track is the best- and that's not even Muddy because he'd ducked out at that point. Having said all that it's still a great album from one of the greatest.

jazz club niicccceeee

Ik wil al een tijd een muziekreis maken door Amerika. Door dit album krijg ik daar weer extra zin in.

Live album, I didn't have any strong opinions about it.

It was great to hear some live blues on here. You can really see the influence Muddy Waters had on generations of musicians!

All a bit samey

It was pleasant enough but I don't think I could distinguish it from any other blues

Great blues/jazz leadoff this week. Muddy Waters certainly the best of the era

Good stuff. Solid live album.

Not as good as the other one.

Un album enregistré à l'époque du paléolithique qui fait en effet son travail mais sans grande surprise, Muddy Waters se contentant d'enfiler des bottes et de traverser un lac boueux d'un bout à l'autre. La façon d'aborder la musique a depuis heureusement bien évolué.

Le nouveau single proposé par le groupe ROP ne me convient toujours pas. Les sonorités, non sans rappeller celles des Frero Delavega, ne font que respecter les codes de la musique de radio. Les multiples "la première fois que tu l'as entendu, c'était sur Skyrock" ne sont vraiment pas nécessaires, et gâchent un peu plus une musique déjà dénuée d'intérêt. Une copie à revoir.

A delightful bluesy treat

Always got time for a little Muddy Waters. I can't say I've ever heard a live show where they play the same song back-to-back, though. Granted, 'I've Got My Mojo Working' is a tune but it stills seems a little unnecessary.

The variety of this album is staggering. The leaps of one song being psy-trance to the next being Death Metal to a smooth synthwave number do an electroclash ditty. Muddy Waters does it all here. Not really. Just a great live blues set. I mean, what else would it be? Best Tracks: I Got My Brand On You; Baby, Please Don't Go; I've Got My Mojo Working

A few well-known and now classic tracks covered by many others. However, it doesn't have the excitement of the BB King live concert that was also showcased here a few weeks ago. Low 3.

It's fine as far as old school blues goes.

Decent, but I'm getting a bit bored of blues/folk live albums.

Pretty sound stuff, just didn't fit the mood of the day when listening to it. Hard to dislike though.

This was fine, pleasant enough to listen to (although I didn't think there was any need for two parts to the Mojo song), but not spectacular. Tiger in Your Tank and Soon Forgotten are the highlights. 3/5.

First few songs were slappers

blues de primeira. Got my mojo working

I expected this to be better than it was. Have heard that Muddy Waters is a legend and pioneer with wide reaching musical influence. Thought I would be blown away. Not bad, but not incredible either.

I have not heard this yet, looking forward to it. Upon first listen it’s a pretty good recording for a live show from 1960. This obviously influenced all of the British invasion bands, more than half the songs have been covered by the Stones, Zepplin, The Who, etc. and while it’s not terrible, It’s not my cup of tea.

not my genre but some hit of jazz punk like blurt will fit in bruh

I'm not a big blues fan but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It's repetitive for me as, again, not a big blues fan, but it was solid.

I love Muddy Waters, but it's really hard for me to "judge" albums like this. In truth, a live blues album from 1960 doesn't sound much different that a studio blues album (outside of the people clapping in between). And, the performance is solid - but I'm not sure it's special in relation to other Muddy Waters albums, or even other blues musicians. Blues is good. Muddy Waters is good at the blues. Good job.

Mutna Voda je klasični blues artist koji je cijenjen onako kako mu i doliči. Ovaj live nastup je dobar, glazbu koju inače volim slušati tijekom vrućeg dana u nekoj zabiti, ruralnom području bez ikakve brige, a i života.

Probably great if you like blues but this wasn't for me

The blues is the blues. I like it, I can't figure out how to love it

It was enjoyable.

Some classics on here.

Not my jam

Blues standard

This is better than the other Muddy Waters I've heard, but the problem with Chicago blues is that it all basically sounds the same. There hasn't been any innovation in the genre since it left the Delta almost a hundred years ago, and that's painfully obvious here.

great stuff!

Es ist, was es ist und darin ist es perfekt. Mehr aber auch nicht. 3.3

Fand/finde das Setting erstmal etwas merkwürdig, in my head: Diese tief spelunkige Blues-Legenda auf so ner (kommt mir so vor) etwas edel-feuilletonistischen Studentenveranstaltung wie dem Newport Folk Festival. Ich habe aber auch einfach keine Ahnung davon - weder vom Blues, noch vom NFF. Es läuft also so durch, bringt die Glieder nicht unmittelbar zum Zucken, könnte das aber wahrscheinlich schon wenn ich in der richtigen Stimmung bin (spelunkig!) Ach so, und natürlich wohnen wir hier einer der Geburtsstudnden des Rock'n'Roll bei.

Clear influence but it just hasn’t aged well for me. I just wanted it to move me more.

It was blues, enjoyed the live aspect.

I don't think blues is for me but still pretty interesting to listen to.

No suena mal. Y hay clasicazos, pero no es mi estilo y los directos menos aún. La casualidad hace que esta misma mañana estuvieran hablando en la radio de la canción "I've got my mojo working".

3.5 que casi sube a 4 | Un disquito agradable de blues, con excelente guitarra y momentos en los que te pone a tronar los dedos o medio bailar. Sin embargo, creo que puede haber mejores materiales de Muddy Waters, incluso si quieren poner los en vivo.

Easy to listen to, it's over before you know it, might need more listens in the future

Yup, that’s a jazz album

Jazz, though lyrics get a bit too repetitive on some of the songs.

Down voted on principle of being a live album

Pretty cool overall, love the blues

Vrolijk jazzalbum. Leuk om eens naar te luisteren

Pretty good

Me ha aturdido un poco 3. Blues.

7,0/10

// Favs: – Score: Decent to Strong 3

Also a 3.5

Fun and classy!

Don't think i've ever sat and listened to Muddy Waters properly. I like this sort of blues. Live album and it sounded like a good night

blucito coquetón, chido aunque algo enfadosón

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters (1960) Muddy Waters, the Mississippi blues guitarist/vocalist par excellence, performed this set live at the Newport Jazz Festival in July 1960. “Live” means the listener must filter out crowd commotion, off-beat hand claps, mic stand rumbles, wind noise, and other sundry distractions, but as live albums go, it’s not too bad. On this recording, we are treated primarily to Waters’ blues vocals and ‘compositions’ (primarily his, but also some by Willie Dixon and others—even Langston Hughes gets in on the act). It should be noted that these songs are characterized by significant melodic and lyrical borrowing from traditional Deep South blues. The performance reflects the evolving quality of blues music by 1960. It is both nostalgic and evocative, clearly demonstrating what it was that made such an impression on the next generation of popular music makers. That in itself is one of the most valuable aspects of this album. Muddy Waters’ voice is well suited for the temper of the blues. It has an authenticity that translates the mostly masculine emotions in relatable topical settings. In singing these songs, Muddy Waters occasionally drops the meter, requiring the band to add extra beats (e.g. “I Got My Brand On You” at 1:04), but the ensemble seems so used to this that they're able to work through it flawlessly. That’s what bluesmen do. Also, At Newport 1960 unfortunately hides the guitar in the mix. If you really want to hear a mature Muddy Waters on lead guitar, listen to After The Rain (1969), tracks 3, 5, 6, and 8. (By 1969, of course, he had been surpassed in his blues guitar skills by many of those he had influenced early on, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Johnny Winter, Duane Allman, and a host of others.) But we have to strain to hear his skills on this album. But if you really, really want to hear the genius of Muddy Waters as a guitarist, you must listen to The Complete Plantation Recordings: The Historic 1941-1942 Library of Congress Field Recordings (Chess Records release, 1993). This album, with its fascinating interviews, would be a much better choice for 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (if it’s not already included). If the mood in the live performance At Newport 1960 seems subdued, it might be related to the fact that Ray Charles’ set the previous evening was disrupted by a drunken riot prompting a police response that included: (1) water hoses, (2) tear gas, and (3) the calling of the National Guard, (4) the Marines and (5) the U.S. Navy Shore Patrol, with 200 arrests and 160 injured. Seriously. This was Newport Rhode Island, folks. Somebody besides Muddy Waters had his mojo workin’. If for no other reason than its historical significance, this record is well worth a listen. 3/5

if you like it you like it

Schwingin

Nice blues

Could do with listening to it a bit more, but enjoyed it. You can really hear that that whole style really started with him..

Sounds like a half melted bin lid bravely battling against a ferocious inferno. It doesn't really, but that's what I'm going with. If it was a footballer, it'd be Dwight Yorke.

songs are quit simpel but muddy waters performance is sublime

Nice feel-good blues, a bit repetitive for my taste

Not bad...hooch coochy etc

I really enjoy good blues music. I should listen to it more. 3.5 stars.

Solid jazz album. 0RS

Good blues, a bit to slow to be perfect

blusey

Blues. Was a nice listen

a classic blues album, its ok

It’s very traditional blues. Didn’t listen through all the way. Kinda weird hearing a live concert and being pretty sure that everybody who was there that night has since passed away.

Really liked this album…..

Fine. A little slow. Im sure its influential but its dry and dated.

Nice classic blues, but I gravitate towards electric guitar blues.

Het is een live album, dus Muddy Waters is hier meteen al in het nadeel. Verder wel aangenaam.

:) Pleasant to the ears, can allow me to concentrate in what I am doing, not that captivating, but not everything has to be :)

Surprised by my response to this. After the last blues based snoozer I was cynical. But surprisingly found myself to enjoy this quite a bit. You can see the roots of rock and hear a few covers. It seems like a show I would’ve enjoyed watching. The up tempo brightness in “I’ve Got My Mojo Workin’” was what put it over the top for me. (And it turned out it was only 9 songs, and the last 4 were bonus track versions of the same songs). 3 or 4.

The waters are getting muddy and I'm digging it. More enjoyable album than the first this website served up. Though nowhere near as exciting as that track Matt texted us.

Production: 12/20 Songwriting: 13/20 Innovation: 10/20 Bangers: 10/20 Emotional response: 14/20 =59 Oooh I really liked it and at 59 it’s only one mark off a 4 but I can’t fuck with the system!!!

A period example of authentic old school soul food blues. Not sure if the live-ness adds any magic to this album.

Like it - but the live 'big band' blues sound takes some of the edge out of the music.

If I were a big blues fan, this would be it. But I’m not. So take that as you may.

good songs with a nice melody and very nice instrumentals.

The sounds of Hendrix and Led Zeppelin in prototype form.

Enjoyed listening to this. Captures the live energy. Cool to think this is a pioneer of a sound that is now so familiar. +Faves:-Baby Please Don't Go-I've Got My Mojo Working. +Least fave:-Goodbye Newport Blues.

Kolejny zywy albumik, nie tylko dlatego, ze jest to nagranie koncertowe, tym razem allah dopomogl, ze publicznosc byla o wiele laskawsza i nie bylo darnia ryja przez cale traki, ale zywy przede wszystkim z powodu muzyki jaka jest grana, bo jest to blues, stylem prosto z czikago, nawet jesli gdzies mi sie obilo o uszy nazwisko muddiego watersa, jest to moje pierwsze spotkanie z jego muzyka, tak jak mozna sie spodziewac po czarnym artyscie, ktorego material zdobyl publike na tyle, zeby byc na liscie 1001 albumow, to cechuje sie ekspresywnym pokazem swych umiejetnosci, a jak to w bluesie, emocje wedruja z jednego konca skali na drugi, od kawalkow o przygnebiajacych dniach i milosci bez przyszlosci, rozwazan na temat sensem lub bezsensem egzystencji, jak na traku goodbye newport blues, ktory zamyka trakliste, do utworow takich jak got my mojo working, w ktorym same instrumenty i ekspresja wokalna wyrazaja wiecej niz tysiac slow, widac skale artystyczna takze po graniu bandy instrumentalnej, na scenie lacznie wystepuje 6 osob, w czym sam muddy jest operatorem gitarkowym, jest to gitara elektryczno akustyczna, stad tez dosc jej jak dla mnie nietypowe brzmienie, do tego dochdzi gitarka elektryczna pana Hare, pianino, harmonijka, basior, drumsy i jest cala ekipa, jak zwykle harpa ustowa zabiera spotlajt w mych uszach, ale tak to jest jesli sie na czyms gra, to slucha sie jak tak mozna robic i bardziej docenia dany dzwiek, wersja spotifajowa zawiera cztery dodatkowe traki, ktore sa studyjnymi wersjami tego co wczesniej mozna bylo uslyszec live, tak jest w przypadku i got my brand on you i soon forgotten oraz tiger in your tank, ale meanest woman jest kawalkiem nieslyszanym wczesniej, wiec dodatkowy material, co do plejkowych pikow, to ze studyjnych dodam branda, natomiast z live i feel so good i o ktorym juz bylo goodbye newport blues, ciekawy album na rozpoczecie przygody z wykonawca, ale jednak troche bardziej barowo studyjnego wydania bym posluchal, bo jednak czuc w niektorych miejsach niedoskonalosci w nagraniu

3-4(already listened)

I was very hesitant to listen to this album because the title suggests it is a live album. Sure enough it was one and I just don't subscribe to the idea that these live albums should be on this list. I feel like for any live album the review is basically "this is a live album...they are performing songs from another album, just live". I'll leave my review at that (don't get me wrong, Muddy Waters kicks Who's ass).

Really catchy, raw Blues.

Generally enjoy blues, and this was fine. But rather samey!! I reckon this is music you have to listen to live to get the real experience

Ich mag Blues. Ich find es schade, dass es ein Live Album ist, die Aufnahme ist halt nicht so richtig rund, ist aber auch von 1960. Grundlegend ist es immer dasselbe, so ist Blues halt irgendwo angelegt, das stört mich eher weniger. Gefällt mir an sich gut, die eher weniger gute Aufnahme stört mich aber ein bisschen.

Hoochie coochie man and I’ve got my mojo working are faves

Love Blues, this is a great live album.

Iconic sound, but repetitive songs.

Lovely listen

Very much enjoyed

Nice !

Fun love blues/jazz with an old recording feel.

I enjoyed this album. Some great tracks

old blues . noice

I love Muddy Waters but this album didn't do it for me.

blue abt the blues ... not my cup of tea

Really liked the faster songs

Quite country, but still very enjoyable.

Klassisk amerikansk blues, live, stemningsfyldt, klaversoloer, mundharmonika

Great live blues from the legendary master. There is a lot of excitement in the crowd, but it takes a few tracks before Waters feels their love...then it all breaks loose.

Straight up classic delta blues!

Good skill - blues music isn’t my style-didn’t like all those live tracks either

2/5. Not my cup of tea but was easy to listen to.

Unlike a lot of the live albums released in the 50s and 60s the sound balance is good on this album. Nothing really stands out though apart from the guitar playing unfortunately

toe tappin!

I think I’m about to pass a kidney stone!

De este estilo de música me gusta Otis Redding pero la verdad que no he escuchado mucho blues. Creo que este tipo de música pierde magia al no escucharlo en vivo. Este álbum es para mi difícil de escuchar sentada sin hacer nada ya que las canciones me suenan iguales. Me lo pondría de fondo a la vez que hago algo o mientras estoy tumbada al sol. Se me ha hecho largo el álbum. Mas que nada por que es repetitivo y las letras son nada. No dicen nada las canciones, solamente repiten las mismas frases una y otra vez. No volveré a escuchar este disco y no guardo ninguna canción.

Nothing worthy in my opinion. Liked his voice but that's it.

It's blues

bem chato, mas bastante relevante o álbum

Not quite my style.

I’d put this on as background noise but it’s not something I will play and really listen to. 5/10

trying very earnestly to engage with this very historically significant artist/genre and good god do i just not get it at all! very genuinely do not understand the point of listening to more than one of these songs. feel like a total moron and have a bit more sympathy for people who do not get things that i am aware are obviously great

noy my style

I'm sure this is classic, it's just not for me.

this was fine but did nothing for me

Probably closer to a 2.5. Not bad for a live album but nothing I would come back to.

Totally ripped off the Sinners soundtrack

Jazz rockero. No mi favorito, pero no está mal

Just can't get into the blues.

Hmmm, well, there's a Punjabi friend of mine who is often funny and dismissive about the basic-bitchness of European or white people food as compared to the wide world of subcontinental spice mixes, preparations, blooming the flavours, etc. – "It's not food, it's the ingredients of food." That's a bit how I feel about the blues? It's music – this is not meant to be an edgy take – but sometimes it feels more like the ingredients of music? Muddy W is fucking great at it and so it has a nice purity, as opposed to some of the very florid blooze men who feel like they're singing nursery rhymes or "Happy Birthday" or some other very inert thing. Nevertheless, my ears don't know how to hear stuff about "got my mojo working'" and "I'm yer hoochie koochie man" except very post-post-post-post-modernly, which is to say, you sprain your eyeballs from rolling 'em so hard.

meh not my cup of tea… some good jams but repetitive and boring

Bluesy

Not my cup of tea

"The album was an important influence on the emerging younger white blues scenes"? What if I don't like those either?

Corte que las capitales.

Es un álbum bastante energético y supongo que histórico

Repetitive

i knew i'd eventually come across an album i didn't like but i didn't know it'd happen so soon lol. not that these were bad songs, i just really didn't resonate with any of them at all. i honestly can't pinpoint which song is which because none of them stand out to me very much. anyway i think this genre just isn't for me, still a fine record though :)

Okay

It was a-ight. I lack the depth to appreciate it more.

Ok, wouldn’t listen to it again. Not my type of music

I give muddy himself 5 stars for his musicianship. I just can't do blues albums anymore, so samey the whole time

4/10, es un género que si no tengo ninguna otra cosa para escuchar lo tolero, pero no lo eligiria nunca. El chabon canta muy bien.

that type of black music is really enjoyable when u are in mood of it, yesterday i wasn't ready for that, im so sorry, next days i'll try to listen it carefully and have a unbreakable opinion about it. :)

Not really the mood, was good but didn't hit

Nothing wrong with this at all but the blues ain’t my bag.

Too repetitive for me, nothing new in any song or during the song

No lo conocía, debe ser un OG del blues. Me gusta pero me embola un toque, no lo terminé de escuchar. Quizás no era el momento

nice and chill.

One song was just Mannish Boy with diff lyrics. It was fine nothing stood out and I don’t love live albums so far.

fun
