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.

Favorite Songs:
     I've Got My Mojo Working
     I Got My Brand On You

Album: Morrison Hotel
Artist: The Doors

Release Year: 1970

"...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

01 - Roadhouse Blues

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.
