Editorial Reviews

The fathers on this 1969 double LP were Muddy and piano man Otis Spann; the sons were stars of a new generation: Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, Buddy Miles and more. The original release, Muddy's highest-charting LP, contained studio (I'm Ready; All Aboard, etc.) and live (Got My Mojo Working; Honey Bee, etc.) recordings; this reissue adds three unissued tracks and a rare B-side. 75 minutes of music from a once-in-a-lifetime meeting!

Once A Measure of Hipness

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2007

Verified Purchase

Back when Fathers and Sons was originally issued, I was in the ninth grade. As kids in those days seemed to have broader musical tastes than many kids do today, whether or not you owned and liked Fathers and Sons quickly became a measure of musical hipness. Unfortunately, it seems that many of the older kids who were musically hip were also getting in trouble all the time, so it was a little difficult to be a big blues fan and not be seen as at least a potential troublemaker. But looking back, its amazing that we were sharp enough to detect the quality in the play of those who have stood the test of time.

Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield were both young white blues heroes of the time and they introduced many thousands of suburban white kids to the black "old masters" of the Chicago blues scene. Chief among these old masters were guys like Muddy Waters and Otis Spann, both of whom are featured on this album. The symbiosis that took place when guys like Butterfield and Bloomfield were on the front lines learning the blues became beneficial to both the old masters and the young turks. With the aid of guys like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, white blues players gained both invaluable on-stage experience as well as the acceptance and grudging respect of black blues aficionados. What the old masters gained was access to the ears and to the purchasing power of millions of young white kids who would otherwise have remained largely ignorant of the blues scene.

Fathers and Sons is one of the fruits born of that symbiotic relationship. Though both Bloomfield and Butterfield died young, they are still looked at today as titans of the blues renaissance of the late 1960s. As for Muddy Waters and Otis Spann, what real blues fan is not hugely familiar with their work? Throw in old session stalwarts Donald Dunn, Sam Lay and Buddy Miles and you have the ingredients for a smash album.

I don't really have any favorites here, yet there is not a single song I dislike. For a measly ten bucks or so, the listener gets not only the original album, but also four songs not on the original. Those who hadn't heard the album yet will find on listening that they are probably familiar with a few of the cuts that have been covered by others.

In retrospect, Fathers and Sons stands as one of the great albums of the 1960s. If you like the blues, particularly of the Chicago strain, then you should own this.

Incredible Memories Brought Back to Life!

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2007

Verified Purchase

While a college student back in the winter of 1972 I attended an Urban Studies semester program in Chicago. One night I went with some of the other students to see Muddy Waters at a club called (if my memory is correct) Alice's Revisted. I did not know anything about Muddy Waters and little about the Blues. Muddy put on an incredible show that was one of the musical highlights of my life. I still get shivers down my spine thinking about the night. I particularly remember when he sang "Got my Mojo Working," and I was up on my feet chanting and dancing with the rest of the audience. At one point, a small fire started in some curtains on the stage and the Muddy the rest of the band calmly kept performing as it was quickly extinguished, perhaps preventing a panic situation. Later in the semester someone bought "Fathers and Sons," and after hearing the album I went out an bought it myself. For years I would periodically listen to that album and be transported back to that magical Chicago evening. With the switch from vinyl (and my turntable being broken by my two year old son in 1989), Fathers and Sons and the rest of my LP's went into retirement, but I never forgot Muddy Waters and the rest of the incredible musicians on the album. Recently something inspired me to search for it on Amazon and I purchased the CD. I am delighted to discover that everything on Fathers and Sons is as wonderful as I remembered. If you like the Blues, I strongly urge you to buy this CD now. It will make you life at least a little bit richer!

A Piece of Musical History

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a piece of musical history. The illustration on the cover says it all.

The 1960's were a period when historically black music became transmitted into an evolving multicultural musical world. You may read about new white audiences, but I will assert that it was way more than that. The diversity of those concert audiences was amazing and completely revolutionary for that time period, as were many of the bands.

Muddy Waters played an important role in this transmission. He was almost a music teacher, for many musicians of that period, black white, Jewish, and Latino. He was loved by many of them. This album features him and two of his best known "students" Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield. Also, on bass is Donald Duck Dunn, who went on to play with the Blues Brothers.

The energy of this collaboration is just over the top. There isn't a bad song on the whole album. Muddy Waters is the center. However, it is hard to overstate how phenomenal both Butterfield and Bloomfield are on this. Otis Spann on piano also deserves kudos.

It was recorded live in 1969. It has been well remastered for digital. It is well worth listening to on its own. However, if you have an interest in the musical history of this period, it is practically a must own.

Great re-issue of a magnificent blues album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2003

Verified Purchase

This is probably the best of the "senior musician meets and plays with eager young fan"-projects of the sixties and seventies blues revival.
Blues legend Muddy Waters and his piano player Otis Spann, with veteran Sam Lay behind the drum kit, teamed up with three young white musicians to record this 1969 album: Guitarist Michael Bloomfield, bassist Donald 'Duck' Dunn (of Booker T & the Memphis Group), and harpist Paul Butterfield.
And the results are magnificent. 26-year old Paul Butterfield shows off some truly excellent harmonic playing, Dunn is rock-solid and funky, and the combined forces of Bloomfield and Muddy Waters himself produces some terrific guitar playing.
The sound is great, too, and Otis Spann (who is supposedly one of the "Fathers" of the album's title, even though he was only in his late 30s at the time) plays some of the best blues piano you'll ever hear.
Highlights include the tough, swinging "Blow Wind Blow" and "I'm Ready", the supremely groovy slow blues "Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had", the catchy "Forty Days And Forty Nights", Eddie Boyd's "Twenty-Four Hours", and the up-tempo rendition of "Sugar Sweet", which really shows off Otis Spann's masterful boogie piano playing.
Then comes four previously unreleased cuts, which aren't rejects by any means, although they didn't make the original double-LP, and six live tracks recorded on April 24th 1969 with the same band which had cut the studio tracks during the previous three days.
Muddy Waters' vocals on the slow slide-guitar workout "Long Distance Call" are sublime, and Butterfield's playing on the classic "Baby Please Don't Go" is pure Little Walter.
Out comes the bottleneck again for a grand rendition of "Honey Bee", followed by Willie Dixon's "The Same Thing" and an eight-minute take on "Got My Mojo Working", much to the delight of the crowd.
Not all attempts to "update" a blues artists sound where succesful, but this one is not only a succes, it is an excellent album which genuine adds to the legacy of Muddy Waters.
