Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters Reviews
| 62 of 64 people found the following review helpful  Jeff Beck and David Gilmour...'nuff said??, By This review is from: Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters (Audio CD) This 1993 tribute to Muddy Waters concocted by Paul Rodgers does more than just honor the legacy of one of our founding fathers of American music - it also manages to kick up a whole boatload of fun. Teaming up the voice of Bad Company with an impressive lineup of axe wielders sure was a good idea! This record rocks and swaggers through most of it's 65:52 running time. However, blues purists beware: This is NOT a collection of note-for-note covers of some of Muddy's greatest tunes. And therein lies the beauty. Instead of a sterile reading of old blues classics, the boys on this disk inject their own styles and personalities into each song, sometimes with stunning results. Jeff Beck takes top honors here with his three incredible cuts, bending, twisting and stretching these classics as only he can. David Gilmour takes a very close second with a searing version of the slow blues, Standing Around Crying. Here's how things measure up:Muddy Water Blues acoustic (Buddy Guy) -...

His voice is one of the most recognizable around, and despite the number of years he's been in the business, he still sounds great. Back in 1993, he released a collection of blues covers, entitled Muddy Water Blues, featuring an all-star cast of rock and blues guitarists. David Gilmour, Buddy Guy and several others all appeared on various cuts. The title track went on to earn Rodgers a Grammy nomination. Unfortunately, the CD's original label, Victory Records, went belly-up shortly after its release and the CD was sadly out of print for years. Finally, after all these years, this stellar disc is available once again. These songs are some of the best known blues classic around. "Hoochie Coochie Man" (featuring Steve Miller), "Born Under a Bad Sign" (featuring Neal Schon), and "I Just Want to Make Love to You" (featuring Jeff Beck) are just a few of the tracks you'll find here. Whether you're a Rodgers fan,...

On this CD he covers blues classics and, in the title track, contributes a (Grammy-nominated) new classic of his own. If you love the blues or are a fan of Paul Rodgers's beautiful voice and many huge hits (All Right Now, Feel Like Makin' Love, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy...and I'm not allowed enough words here to list them all) this CD will be a favorite. |
