Electric Mud – another prime Muddy Waters set

 

Electric Mud is often reviled as the great McKinley Morganfield’s creative surrender to psychedelia. Wrong call.

After hunting for it at a reasonable price for years, I finally picked up a copy (at Fopp, for £7). It’s a treat. OK, Marshall Chess’s production is, er, different to the trademark Chicago blues sound pioneered by his father and uncle, but Electric Mud has a charm all of its own – a bunch of talented musicians (and one genius) stretching out a bit.

My only gripe? The length – at 36 minutes, it’s almost EP, not LP, length.


Gerry Smith
