Description
1986 Analog Reissue of Classic 1960 Chess Debut Release of Bandleader/Master Composer/Guitarist/Pioneering Chicago Blues Vocalist McKinley Morganfield AKA Muddy Waters Entitled Muddy Waters at Newport, Album Recorded Live in July 3 of 1960 at the Famous Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island! - "The cover photograph of Muddy Waters holding John Lee Hooker's guitar gave the impression that he was at a folk festival rather than the prestigious Newport Jazz Festival. However, the record revealed the King of Chicago blues at his very best, shouting his music above the discordant wail of a band that included Otis Spann, James Cotton, Pat Hare, and Francis Clay. Film of the event shows a sharply dressed Waters shimmying and jiving around the stage with the energy of a man half his age. Some of that atmosphere is apparent on the record, in a program that includes "Hoochie Coochie Man," Big Bill Broonzy's "I Feel So Good," then-recent singles "I Got My Brand on You" and "Soon Forgotten," and a massive "Got My Mojo Working." The set ends in poignant mood with the announcement of the end of the festival and Otis Spann's improvised "Goodbye Newport Blues." - Magnificent Personnel for the Sextet Features Legendary Composer Muddy Waters on Guitar and Vocals, the Brilliant James Cotton on Harmonica, the Great Otis Spann on Piano & Vocal on "Goodbye Newport Blues", the Amazing Pat Hare on Additional Guitar, Andrew Stevenson on Bass and the Talented Francis Clay on Drums! - Selections on Side One Are Original Willie Dixon Compositions I Got My Brand on You, I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man, the Muddy Waters Penned Baby Please Don't Go, James Burke Oden's Soon Forgotten & the Willie Dixon Song Tiger in Your Tank - Tracks for Side Two Are the Big Bill Broonzy Standard I Feel So Good, the Preston Foster Penned I've Got My Mojo Working, I've Got My Mojo Working Part Two and Original Langston Hughes/Muddy Waters/Otis Spann Composition Goodbye Newport Blues - Used Copy, Cover Is Slightly Faded with a very Slightly Bent Bottom Right Corner, Record Very Good++, Product Code CH-9198 - California Residents Add 10.25% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
