Muddy Waters was the boss man way way before anybody else. I particularly enjoy muddy Waters with James Cotton and Johnny Winter all on the same disc same song. It's outstanding😮
Had a great time meeting Muddy and his wife Marva in 77. Drank some champagne with them. I was a guest on his Hard Again tour. A few friends were in the band. Johnny Winter,James Cotton etc. Was a real treat getting to meet him. I was a blues guitarist at that point.
Muddy Waters, is the blues, and that's a fact🎉🎉.He's just the real deal, no glitz no glamor, just real blues music at it's finest 🎉🎉. RIP,Muddy Waters, play the blues up in heaven 🎉🎉
@Raised On Rock Radio Show w/ Mark O'Neill It’s a very good Long Distance Call with Muddy Waters & his band from Tivoli concert hall, Copenhagen Jazz Festival October 27 - 28 1968💯🎸💯😊
I can never tell what Muddy is playing or NOT playing - Slide? Picking? Chords? But what comes out is always blues magic. Real deal, he is the greatest.
I could show you easily mate he's master of deception listen to acoustic stuff then electric . Plays little electric chords similar to john lee . Often struggles with chords and position . His slide is unusual on 3rd finger . He dropped all open tunings fast too with early success . I have a muddy waters telecaster but not big on him just used in my blues lectures and records
@Dont go out Muddy was a solid guitarist in either standard or open tunings. Plus, plenty of slide guitarists use their third finger for the slide--Son House for instance, a formative influence on Muddy if ever there was one.
when I was 12 the town had a radio station that played the top 100...lots of black music in all the emerging venues and genres...Muddy was om the radio every day and on the jukebox in our school cafeteria.
Went to a antique store today. The owner is a Vietnam vet and sells old records in the back room, he put a muddy waters record with this song in it sounds really good on a record player. I really enjoyed that he put it on while I was shopping.
Back when I was a teenager in the early 70's, amongst all the rock music that was happening, I heard The Mud. He's stayed with me all my life. Bless his soul.
Great live version. Never noticed Muddy playing a Guild instead of a Tele before. That long ending I first heard done on an old Luther Georgia Boy Snake Johnson L.P. The original studio version of this remains by far my favorite. There was a magical perfection in those early Chess studio recordings.
@@shawnperry1627 He was a man's man, no doubt about that. However, I played the chittlin circuit off and on from 1962 till around 1969 and knew him very well. I drank, played, got high with and traveled with him and many other blues musicians. Muddy very often wore a toupee, although I don't see how you'd equate that with his manhood tho.
Lyrics: You say you love me darling Please, call me on the phone sometime You say you love me darling Please, call me on the phone sometime When I hear your voice Ease my worried mind One of these days I'm going to show you how nice a man can be One of these days I'm going to show you just how nice a man can be I'm going to buy you a brand, new Cadillac If you only speak some good words about me Hear my phone ringing Sound like a long distance call Hear my phone keep ringing Sound like a long distance call When I picked up my receiver The party said another mule kicking in your stall
Aye, the real thing! I saw this man on an old B+W television in Blackpool when I was 17. Up until then, blues seemed to me predictable and monotonous (I hang my head it shame). That evening I "Got It" and have had it ever since. Thank you uploader and everyone else.
if i could pick any musician i love who died and i want to meet. muddy waters would be my first pick, all my favorite musicians are dead man thats crazy to think about
Luther "Snake Boy" Johnson chopping away on second guitar, the great Otis Spann on piano, and I think Freddy Below on drums. The greatest blues band ever. Check out Snake Boy
I'd like to think that this was a favorite of Muddy's to do live, he does it so well. While I prefer the "Fathers and Son" version (maybe because I was there, second row center), this one is awfully good.
@@JulianMerghart Like there! Muddy, Spann, Cotton, Butterfield, Bloomfield, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Buddy Miles, Nick Gravenites. Hell of a night.
Legendary one of a kind , Muddy Waters is the MAN ... mmm.... aaaaa-child , nnnnn and that means MAN nooooo B.... O-child ... Y it means MANISH BOY ....
Muddy music is still legendary. Sail on my honey bee sail on. His music was and still is magical. Miss you Muddy. RIP brother. There is no Denying his Greatness!!!!!!
White guy playing harp for Muddy was Paul Oscher, just googled to see how his name was spelt and Lo and behold he passed away april this year 2021. Theres some wonderfull vids of Paul interviewed here on youtube and of him playing blues. Paul got really good at playing guitar as well as harp in the muddy waters style. Wow we lost one the last of the great bluesmen..really sad now. RIP Paul Oscher and Muddy
when i was young i liked muddy but didnt fully understood the blues.my mind was poisoned by mediocre definision of a song.there was no chorus, catchy melody and it was too long for me.today, and thanks for marihuana, i feel every minute of this great great song which is telling you a beautiful story of the loving man!ps.i love Muddy's solo!!he never forgot that he is not only the great blues singer but especially one of the greatest guitarist ever!ps.this incredible monologue at the end it's so good and seems not easy to do!it's like pioniering rap music.
