Amazing tribute to the father of Blues Rock!

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021

This is a fantastic tribute by many famous rockers to the man many of them consider to be the father of at least the 70’s Blues Rock! Grab it while you can. This is a collectible LP and numbered!
Remember it was Muddy Waters who named The Rolling Stones, tied Jimi Hendrix to the Blues and really formed the Chicago Blues scene that Buddy Guy has carried on.

The record pressing is good, I didn't hear any defects
The music is fantastic, I am really thankful that I purchased this item. The back cover said that this was originally released in 1993, however this is the first time I've heard this. I love the vocals from Paul Rodgers, and the featured guitar players makes for an overall fantastic recording.

Jeff Beck and David Gilmour...'nuff said??

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2007

This 1993 tribute to Muddy Waters concocted by Paul Rodgers does more than just honor the legacy of one of our founding fathers of American music - it also manages to kick up a whole boatload of fun. Teaming up the voice of Bad Company with an impressive lineup of axe wielders sure was a good idea! This record rocks and swaggers through most of it's 65:52 running time. However, blues purists beware: This is NOT a collection of note-for-note covers of some of Muddy's greatest tunes. And therein lies the beauty. Instead of a sterile reading of old blues classics, the boys on this disk inject their own styles and personalities into each song, sometimes with stunning results. Jeff Beck takes top honors here with his three incredible cuts, bending, twisting and stretching these classics as only he can. David Gilmour takes a very close second with a searing version of the slow blues, Standing Around Crying. Here's how things measure up:

Muddy Water Blues acoustic (Buddy Guy) - Buddy Guy fans might be a bit disappointed due to Buddy's low key approach. Known for his manic and dynamic playing, this mostly acoustic tune is just lightly adorned with Guy's very bare-boned electric tone. There's no mistaking that scattered phrasing of his, but as you're waiting for things to take off, the song ends.

Louisiana Blues (Trevor Rabin) - This is full on rock with Rabin's heavily processed sound and finger taps making it quite clear that this is NOT going to be a blues album.

I Can't Be Satisfied (Brian Setzer) - Great rockabilly style intro (and outro) as only Brian can deliver. The solo is full of his trademark Gretsch bar dips and slippery single note lines. Good stuff.

Rollin' Stone (Jeff Beck) - Rodger's impassioned voice mixing with Jeff's unbelievable guitar playing is just a jaw dropping delight. It leaves you wondering "how the heck did he do that??". Because this is Jeff Beck, stupid.

Good Morning Little School Girl Part I (Jeff Beck) - After these sessions Beck remarked how much it reminded him of his Truth days with Rod Stewart. I can definitely see why Jeff wanted to do the whole album! His enthusiasm jumps from your speakers.

I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man (Steve Miller) - My apologies to Steve Miller fans out there, but this cut is rather luke warm. Jimmie Woods' harmonica seems more featured than Steve's playing.

She's Alright (Trevor Rabin) - Another rocker very much in the same vein as Rabin's last cut. Certainly energetic and enthusiastic (Is there a pedal this guy DOESN'T own??).

Standing Around Crying (David Gilmour) - Scorching slow blues by the man in Pink. A stratocaster with a nice touch of gain and some delay makes for a raw and nasty tone...at least in Gilmour's hands. Squealing bends, singing vibrato, subtle feedback....noone makes a guitar cry like David Gilmour.

The Hunter (Slash) - This is a great rocking vehicle for Slash's down-n-dirty guitar style. He and Rodgers were clearly having a blast.

She Moves Me (Gary Moore) - There isn't a Les Paul tone on earth like Gary Moore's. I swear that guitar was made just for him. This cut is just a tiny taste of what can be found on Moore's Still Got The Blues, After Hours, or the ultimate tribute album Blues For Greeny.

I'm Ready (Brian May) - A bouncy tune that features some of Brian's wall-of-guitars sound as well as Jimmie Woods' harmonica. Unfortunately just a mediocre cut.

I Just Want To Make Love To You (Jeff Beck) - Holy Bajeezus this guy has tone. This is the heaviest version of this tune I've ever heard. No other even comes close.

Born Under A Bad Sign (Neal Schon) - Another heavily processed guitar sound that fits this updated version well. Schon chops his way through the solo nicely.

Good Morning Little School Girl Part II (Richie Sambora) - He may not be Jeff Beck but he can rock. Great tone and a great energetic reading of this tune.

Muddy Water Blues electric (Neal Schon) - Basically the opening song extended with Schon soloing this time.

If you're considering this CD, it's important to understand what kind of tribute album this is. I think Paul's intent was to show Muddy's influence by featuring his music in more contemporary settings. Rockers and guitar geeks (such as myself) will love this, while blues purists will cut their own throats with the disk. This is a fun album and should be taken in that spirit.

Muddy Water rivisited

Reviewed in Italy on April 8, 2021

Paul Rodgers si è cimentato con i brani di Muddy Water, accompagnato da una band di alto livello (sezione ritmica Pino Palladino e Jason Bonham) nonchè una serie di solisti alla chitarra da brividi.
Alcuni di loro non proprio avvezzi al blues (David Gilmour e Brian May).
Tuttavia il risultato complessivo è ottimo e il disco scorre dall'inizio alla fine .
Ottimi i vinili colorati, del tutto silenziosi.

Hard rocking blues!

It is safe to say that any post '70s blues guitarist owes a lot to the legendary Muddy Waters and this all star tribute by Paul Rodgers is a great way to celebrate the great musician.

When I initially looked at the track list, I thought that some of the guitarists chosen were a bit too flashy for this sort of project. As good as Richie Sambora, Neal Schon and Slash are, blues guitar is something that I wouldn't initially expect to hear from them. However, my expectations were blown out the water and each musician on this album puts on a perfect performance.

As expected, Paul Rodgers' silky smooth voice sounds as lovely as it always does and he sings these songs with a lot of passion and love. You can hear in every lyric that he has a personal connection to these songs and it really helps the album shine. The rest of the band (which included Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and Buddy Guy) put the same effort into the music and even though the results are stylistically quite incredibly varied, fans of Muddy Waters will be able to appreciate the dedication that these men have to preserving these songs whilst putting their own character traits into them.

The only real draw back to this album is the production. This record was released in 1993 and it most definitely sounds like it came out at the ass end of the 1980's. The drums have this big echoing sound and the rest of the album is a little over produced. It is a sound that would suit the likes of Def Leppard but this record needed a down and dirty raw production style, unfortunately Billy Sherwood etc failed to deliver in that department.

That is not to say that this album sounds bad, it doesn't. It just comes across as a little dated. Questionable style choices aside, this is still an excellent record that features a stunning array of rock and blues masters. Those who are fans of Muddy, Paul Rodgers of any of the mentioned musicians will want to add Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters to their collection.
