Muddy Waters - The Complete Chess 1947-1967 Disc 9 Alternate Takes

Here's the last disc,almost forgot there's nine discs
total! This one is special special- all alternate takes
of some of Muddy's best songs. These are all mostly
vintage tunes.

Disc 9:
1.Rollin' Stone 2.All Night Long
3.She's All Right 4.Baby,Please Don't Go
5.I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man
6. Take The Bitter With The Sweet
7.Take The Bitter With The Sweet
8.She's Into Something
9. Recipe For Love 10.Woman Wanted (8 Takes)
11.Read Way Back (9 Takes including backing track)
12.You Shook Me 13.Elevate Me Mama
14.You Don't Have To Go.
Just fucking awesome music,you will probably be
listening to this disc over and over,like a nut,like me.
It packs the most punch...it's otherworldly.
It's hoodoo voodoo. Just listen to the Woman
Wanted 8 takes-there's some pretty amazing guitar
playing,and these were thrown away! (See take 3)
One of those Chess brothers complains he's popping
into the mic.Well it's all live in the studio, everyone's
doing it live all together.It's great to hear studio
chatter it's always funny, to hear them swearing,trying
to make a record! One of the takes Muddy says he
forgets what he's doing,all while he's playing these
incredible guitar runs...he forgets?
He must've done this stuff in his sleep he's
so natural about it.I'm just not so sure about
Muddy's Recipe For Love,I'm thinking mine is
more nine disc box sets of more music huh?
Another recipe for love would be that Chess
Records releases more outtakes and tracks
they're sitting on!

Muddy Waters 9

Muddy Waters - The Complete Chess 1947-1967 Discs 7 & 8 My Dog Can't Bark

Discs seven and eight good music fans:
pretty much a lot of the songs appear on the Folksinger
album from disc seven. Disc eight really gets moving
with some faster blues numbers are probably younger
players with Muddy, that are spirited,I'm totally digging
the tune My Dog Can't Bark,too bad they didn't keep
the song going,it gets pretty interesting,then fades out.
I also like the tunes Put Me In Your Layaway Plan,
Hard Loser,Find Yourself Another Fool,
Kinfolk Blues,and other standard shouters / blues wailers.
I'm apt to stay away from the 1968 horn tracks, like
Going Back To Memphis, and the country fried
Corine,Corina. It just doesn't sound like he's into
the groove,man. Oh well,there's still plenty o music
for everyone here whatever your thing is.

1. Elevate Me Mama 2.So Glad I'm Living
3.My Love Strikes Like Lightning 4.Early In

Muddy Waters - The Complete Chess 1947-1967 Discs 1 & 2

You can't have Howlin' Wolf without Muddy Waters,
so I'm also going to post this whole series here on this
blog.The way things are going, maybe blogger might not
last much longer,(no don't freak out,just be wary of it)
and if you enjoy music as much as I do, it's best to post
the things that matter and mean something to
you,so that's why I'm veering off into the blues lately. Plus
I like listening to it, and find it more creative than today's
latest rehashed shit rock coming over the speakers. I'm
certain even the artists today wish they had a shred of this
man's talent. And for you people who think I'm living in
the past,well,I think it's a better place than right nowsville.
This ain't no nostalgia trip,this is real music to bite into.
And if you're smart,you're gonna pick this up,listen to it,
and see for yourself why I think it's great! So much rock
& roll and punk comes from the blues. It's honest and real.
It's made by people who didn't take music lessons,and they
just kept making music,even though it was not popular or
widely accepted. When Motown began churning out big
city hits, and more polished records for urban blacks,
music made for and made by black people everyone
abandoned this form of countrified blues.Even though
people in Chicago dug it, the new sound was Motown
and guys like Muddy had a rough time getting people to
buy his records after that. I'm glad the Stones came
along and reminded people where the real blues rock
came from. I'm glad that Chuck Berry came along and saved
Chess records from going down.Chuck's records were
more modern, and easily more marketable to radio,they
sold well making Muddy able to still record even
though his kind of music was on the way out.

Howlin' Wolf - Complete Chess Recordings 1951-1969 Discs 6 & 7

The lasts discs- volumes 6 & 7 contain 18 and 24 more tracks
each. Gotta have more Wolf, never can get enough. There's
some amazing outtakes, on these last disc. I'm talking
about disc 7. There's You Gonna Wreck My Life
(Alternate Take), Moaning For My Baby (3-4 takes),
I've Been Abused (Takes 5-7) Howlin' For My Darlin'
(Takes 1-7), and the best stuff is Mr. Airplane Man (Takes 1-2)
The Wolf messes up the lyrics, and the engineer, probably
Leonard Chess starts telling him,Ah...Wolf...the airplane flies
he doesn't sail...motherfucker"...Clearly Wolf just had
done a long session, and maybe screwed up a line...
usually they recorded long ass sessions, to get the
feeling right. All recorded live, why bother adding anything,it's
warts and all,and beautiful the way it is. The music,it's spine
tingling, it's ferocious, how do you top this?
I love the howls, and falsetto echoing howls.This is a cool
series of discs and I'm glad I could share them with you.
I'm not sure what I'm gonna post next, this series of discs has
got a hold on my ears. I might start going through more blues
discs, and well, I don't know, find another band to obsess
about, like usual.
