Hit: 3 Stars
Recorded and released in 1960, Live At Newport is one of the most beloved albums in the Muddy Waters catalogue, and is considered by many to be one of the greatest blues records of all time. To be honest, I'm not really sure why. Don't get me wrong: It is by no means a bad album. In fact, some of the performances found here rank among Muddy's very best: The legendary, show stopping rendition of "I've Got My Mojo Working" is a total barn-burner, with its fiery vocals, grinding pianos, and surging rhythms. "Tiger In Your Tank" raves with a similarly infectious abandon, and "Baby Please Don't Go" is tight and muscular.
Sadly, too much of this album is devoted to unspectacular, standard-issue blues. "I've Got My Brand On You" is an uninspired combination of generic songwriting and soulless instrumentation, while "I Feel So Good" doesn't deliver an ounce of the enthusiasm that its title promises. "Soon Forgotten" and "Goodbye Newport Blues" are slow burners that simply don't burn- the music is free of the tension that marks the best slow blues numbers. Perhaps the biggest dissapointment is "Hoochie Coochie Man." In its studio incarnation, "Hoochie Coochie Man" is simply one of the greatest blues songs of all time. On this record, however, it's bland and unentertaining, devoid of the raw sexuality and smouldering passion that made the original such a classic.
So, there you go. An incredibly dissapointing album from a great performer.
