Muddy Waters Review / The Doors Preview (Album 33)
More of this free-form jazz / big band music is not a bad thing. I liked this one less than the jazz album right before it (Album 31) but hey. They are both very different and should be treated as such. This Muddy Waters guy, knows how to play a mean guitar. Seriously mean, angry even. It's got that Louisianan / Southern vibe to it. Big fan of the dancey sound that music like this produces.

"...This was a muscular R&B-inspired offering, betraying the group's roots. The chugging, ballsy "Roadhouse Blues" makes most immediate impact, featuring hitmaker Lonnie Mack on bass and The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian ("G Puglese") on harmonica. (It was subsequently covered by acs as diverse as Blue Oyster Cult and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.)...The Doors were back on course again." - John Tobler

I do love me some 70s rock, I think it's the greatest generation for rock 'n roll. Especially if it has some good harmonica and keys.

Duke Elligton Review / Muddy Waters Preview (Album 32)
This was some seriously good jazz music. At least that is the label I would give it; some combination of jazz and big band. Anyways, it was really good. It was hard to tell exactly what was Duke Ellington, but on some of those songs the horns get blazin'. The trumpet and clarinet and trombone is so amazing, they don't make music like this anymore folks. My favorite song was the one where the showcase a bunch of the muscians in one song are wonderful. And there is aparently one of the best solos of all time on this album, by one Paul Gonsalves on the saxaphone. I hope it's the solo on Festival Junction, because that song is amazing.

Album: Muddy Waters at Newport
Artist: Muddy Waters
Release Year: 1960
"If this album simply represented the moment when live blues invited itself into suburban homes, it would still be remembered. If it were only the album that acquainted the likes of Jimmy Paige and Eric Clapton with America's urban sound, it would be a landmark. But after 45 years of consistent sales, Muddy Waters at Newport is, at its essence, a testament to the magnetism and soulfulness of raw blues at it's best." - Matthew Oshinsky
