At Newport 1960

Solid MW blues album. If that’s your thing. 2.75

Really cool but just hard to get into.

I don't think this is my kind of music. Nevertheless, I do think that Muddy Waters is a good performer and vocalist. I did also enjoy the implementation of the harmonica and e-guitar. I'd say that my favourite tracks would be “I've got my mojo working“, I especially liked the element of call and response in that song. Still, I found the songs sounded all pretty much alike, but that is probably because I haven't listened to a lot of blues in my lifetime. I don't think I will be coming back to this, but I'm glad I have heard this album and can definetly hear Muddy Waters influence in a lot of future musicians

Not too great

Would score higher if we had just one song. But all the songs of the album are very redundant.

Good blues. But 1 star deduction since it's a live album.

2.5/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/muddy-waters/muddy-waters-at-newport-1960/ Really not my thing. Truly believe it's very influential, but don't really care about this.

listened to the first two songs kinda funky but not really my thing

kinda annoying

i mean it must be great if you like this because it's all very much of the same. a lot of the songs were just too slow for me - really made it feel like it was dragging on

i’m not a fan of jazz

He's got his mojo working or smth

Whack.

Jazz forica

eh not my cup of tea not a fan of live albums but it’s okay

I'm not educated on the blues but I just feel there's better out there.

very groovy and nice to listen to faves: tiger in your tank

i like some of these very much but not fully my vibe

I was not too crazy about it

Very influential and a beautiful album cover. I found it boring compared to his 70s album on here. I think it’s because this one has the essential building blocks you’ve heard copied everywhere in music so the effect is lost on me here. Rating: 2.4

I know this guy is highly influential and very good at what he does but I just don’t like this type of blues. Part of it is because I really like melody and I don’t find much of that in classic blues. I don’t rate my album according to importance but instead on how much I enjoyed it.

Second album après 'Hard Again' qui ne m'avait pas convaincu (noté 2/5 - je ne suis pas fan de blues). Cet album ne me plait pas plus. Le blues finit toujours par m'ennuyer (répétitif par conception, et les chorus sont vraiment trop classiques pour m'interpeller). =>2/5

this is the same song over and over again, with a fun beat and nonsense lyrics. Probably a lot more fun live.

I would normally give most blues a 1 but I like Muddy's voices

I don’t like live albums.

All sounds the same to me

One of those cases where the stuff influenced is better than the original.

From a modern listening perspective, I didn’t really enjoy it. The live recording sounds loud and chaotic, a lot of the songs start to feel repetitive, and if you ignore the historical importance, there isn’t much that truly stands out to me.

High 2 Any song on here is great. As a collective theyre extremely samey

Tykkään kyllä aikansa blues meiningistä mutta tämä livelevy jätti vähän kylmäksi.

I don't enjoy this genre, every song sounds the same to me. 1,5/5

Did not enjoy but wasn’t actively heinous

Same song syndrome strikes again

Good album, I can appreciate it, nor really my thing though.

Good stuff.

I wouldnt be upset to hear this in a coffee shop or a cocktail bar (a dimly lit one). But im probs nor gonna seek it out. TWO!

L'harmonica c'est rigolo 2 secondes et après ça tape sur le système. Pas nul mais toujours un peu pareil, pas fan du jazz rock de ces années là.

2 stars I know it’s revolutionary and influenced everything after it. But cmon, it all sounded the same and was not very interesting. I won’t ever put this on again. But I’m glad it existed when it did so music could become more interesting.

There are like 4 lyrics in this 44-minute album. The repetitiveness of it really annoyed me after a while. Again, I can appreciate what Mr. Waters is doing, and understand the influence his music has had on generations after him, but I don't like it.

Det er mye kjedelig materiale her, men så kliner de til på Got My Mojo Working og du kan kjenne energien i publikum gå fra litt laber til ekstatisk. Dette er proto-rock. Gi meg en skive med det energinivået, så snakker vi.

Would have been amazing to be there! But of course music must evolve, and this is just a bit boring now

I don't really like the blues. I said I don't really like the blues. I don't really like the blues.

This was a grand old blues album. I'm sure it's incredibly important to the history of rock music but I thought it was just fine! Not my kind of blues but fun and easy to listen to.

Bluesy. I'm a little picky with my blues music though, and muddy doesn't really hit for me. Respect the greats and all, but this is not entering my rotation.

The return of Muddy Waters, aye? It's only been 18 albums since I listened to Hard Again and I'm already bidding farewell to this guy's discography. The aforementioned Hard Again didn't do much to woo me - it's beyond my sphere of interest, though I appreciated it for being an interesting late-career pick and an album where the vocals were well-suited to the music. Truth be told, it isn't looking up for Muddy on this second outing as I find it immensely difficult to get into live albums ("At Folsom Prison" and "At Budokan" are the albums to have deviated from this rule). In any case, I'm never above going into an album with an open mind. Man, this is one of those early, early albums. #29 if we're going by chronological order. The last one of these that I got was The Genius of Ray Charles, if I'm remembering correctly. Anyways, this is fine. I find it pretty hard to feel one way or another about blues - it's one of those genres which falls right down the middle for me (albeit teetering slightly into "boring" territory). The live component adds a bit of a novelty value to this music, though I was hoping Muddy Waters' charisma would be channeled through the music a little more. "I Got My Brand On You" is a solid opener. I like Muddy's vocals, and the very bluesy guitar in the background isn't half bad. "Tiger In Your Tank" is a good enough time. I like the lively percussion as well as that good piano number. Muddy has a bit of a sauntering quality going on with his voice, which is also nice. "I've Got My Mojo Working" has a cool, free-wheeling sound. I like the punchy instrumental as well as those charismatic vocals. Book time. Broadened the appeal of live blues music. "...live blues at its best". A consistent seller. Wikipedia reveals that this album was critically acclaimed and has had an influence in the creation of hard rock. There isn't too much going for this album (none of the early ones have much going on, admittedly), though I'm generally favourable to pre-historic albums being included on the list. I think they're interesting when looked at through a historical lens rather than a merit one. I cosign this inclusion.

Unc music

This was fun. Not something I would regularly return to, but not a bad jazz albums. The live aspect was fun, and I really enjoyed how the songs were shorter and they got in and out of them. Actual rating....2.5. Liked Songs: "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" , "Baby, Please Don't Go" , "Tiger In Your Tank" , "I've Got My Mojo Working"

To be honest, I wasn't too impressed. I get that Muddy Waters is a blues legend and all, but the band sounds very loose and unrehearsed, and it just isn't a compelling performance or album.

Another live album, eugh. Fine, not my thing, not an artist I enjoy, but performed well

All I can think of this: https://youtu.be/1PvJNbdPqSA?si=86r5EBMZs44UVhRC (6/10, 3/5 on this scale) (Update: 2/5 now)

I'm sure it's excellent, but the blues all sounds basically the same to me.

Not big on the blues, unfortunately. I understand its influence and importance, but everything sounds similar and I get bored. Uneducated, I guess

Best ones are Ive got my Mojo working and Tiger In your tank and soon forgotten I love the live versions bc u can hear people going absolutely bonkers

(2) guys i love jazz but im not the biggest fan 😔😔

I’ve listened to Muddy before, and I’m not convinced his stuff works in an album format. There’s not quite enough of a narrative thread, and not enough variation to keep my attention. His guitar playing is fantastic though, and it doesn’t stop me from wanting to BE there. His stage presence is phenomenal.

Average blues sound, nothing exceptional

Not my style tbh

Classical blues album, of course wonderful music, but not my kind of music.

Blues legend but not the best live/studio hybrid recording

Helt ok, men inte min grej. För släpigt och enformigt. Alla låtar följer samma formel - repetera en kort mening till bluesbeat 25-30 ggr. Connectar inte och blir inte så rolig lyssning. Vill lyssna igen: nej Bästa spår: d - im your hoochie coochie man D2 - inget Betyg, D - 4 av 10 (2 av 5) D2 - 4 av 10 (2 av 5)

Okay for a few tracks but not really my thing.

Unfortunately I'm not much of a blues person.

Recording and mixing is SO good for a live album. You know me, Luke, I'm not a blues man. But this is pretty nice.

I have no Idea from blues. It sounds very important and authentic. But that ist Not really my genre. Sorry for only two stars

Not my cup of tea

Hypocritical to give this a 2* and Elvis' first album 5*? Yes. But fuck it, not in the mood for tutti frutti shite today. Sorry.

can’t get into blues, sorry

Not my thing, but I appreciate it. 2/5 stars.

Muddy Waters is an all time great but I just wasn't feeling this album. There wasn't much "edge" to it.

So anys 60, no m'ha encantat

This was fine, not my vibe.

The singing is well done, and its a solid sample of blues. But it does get a bit repetitive and it is a live album. I Got My Brand On You was a good bit of fun. I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man was nice and chill. Soon Forgotten had some great piano music. Best song: I Got My Brand On You

A little too oohhh my dog died blueys for me.

OK but a bit derivative

I’m not a big fan of live albums or jazz, so this really didn’t do it for me. It objectively sounds good and he’s very talented, it just doesn’t suit my personal taste

Certainly a classic. Most of the songs sound the same.

Sexistische eigengeile zak hooi is het eigenlijk, die Muddy Waters

I'm not a fan of live albums. I'm a fan of jazz though.

I'm not generally a fan of live albums, and I don't think this was mixed well. I like the genre well enough, and Muddy Waters is obviously influential, but there are probably better albums of his to have on this "listen before you die" list. I'll listen to some of his other works.

To me these blues tunes all sound exactly the same. In fact 2 of the tracks on this album WERE exactly the same - I checked. But I accept Muddy Waters has been a huge influence on popular music. A lot if which I like. So I cannot give it a 1.

I like Muddy Waters. I loathe live albums. This sounds like they could only record with two mics, gave one for vocals which sound great, and one for the rest of the band as an overheard. Everything else sounds muddy, flat. I've heard board tapes sound better.

Pretty generic blues album. Not much stood out musically or lyrically.

Okay

Just Blues. Live Blues at that. Blues isn't my jam. 2/5

Jag kan se hur inflytelserikt detta är men är för egen del rätt ointressant + ogillar livealbum

Man, I must be missing the blues gene or something. Everything here is played neatly by the rules of the Blues Book, not a note more or less. Listening to 15 seconds of any of these tracks allows you to perfectly predict just what you'll be listening to for the next four or so minutes, down to the very last formulaic cadence. So really, why even bother listening beyond those opening notes? And sure, I get it, Muddy Waters basically invented that very formula. But then again, I'm not going to be thanking Ronald McDonald or whoever for being the first to invent cheap fast food either.

Для любителей джазза и рок-н-ролла. Я к ним точно не отношусь

Bailed halfway. It’s about the same as the last Muddy Waters album I didn’t care for. Not because it’s bad or unlistenable, or anything Like that. I just don’t care much for blues music. If I need extra “blues” in my life, I’ll pop on the news.

great artist prefer recent recording

Quite repetitive, not much of a story to the songs, like the live effect don’t think I would revisit some songs did tickle my fancy

Fine but repetitive.

sorry but blues rock is bit better 2/5

Well performed but I really don't care super much.

Esperaba mucho más al ser jazz, un poco decepcionante Rating:5

One of those foundational albums that are basic requirements to get into a certain kind of music. Early onset Blues in a time period that needed it. So many acts we know and love were directly influenced by Muddy Waters and this performance. That being said, not the best Blues to ever be released and drags at parts. 5/10

Got the idea why this album is on this list, but anyway it's no good. At first, I was like “yes, this is going to be great,” but then I ended up being disappointed. Repititive and a bit boring. That Mojo did not work for me...

This is exactly the type of blues I could do without, but I have to recognize that he's many people's favorite musician's favorite musician

Dated. Songs very similar. I was hanging in there until Muddy started repeating every song. At Newport 1960 comes in at (1.7*s)

I'd like to again state that I don't think recordings of live shows should be on the list. If I see a greatest hits album show up I'm contacting the writer. Anyways...some good ol upbeat? blues from Muddy. I prefer it to the slow, sad, boozin' in a rocking chair on the porch blues but I'm not yet aged enough to truly appreciate it. Muddy Waters is a great bluesy name and sure is known in the genre. Not bad but I need to simmer...1.9.

That's some blues. They just don't do it for me. Every song sounds the same. I can appreciate the talent, but this isn't fun for me.

fine, but samey.

a solid soul album but again not quite meshing with my mood, very good to walk to but not really connecting with it

Not a single unpleasant moment it despite my blues intolerance. Not bad, but still wouldn't listen to it again voluntarily

Big yawn from me 2/5

Not much to say. It's simple and straightforward blues, performed well. It's very repetitive though and it suffers from being a live album. Not really my cup of tea. I'm not well-versed enough in the blues to understand if this is really worthy of being on the list or not, but personally it's average at best.

Not as good as I originally remember. The ending track two parter is great

Nao curto jazz

2+ Stars (6/15)

Wasn't bad, just wasn't for me. 2.5

Just not my genre. Maybe the live performance was cool, but don’t need to listen to it now.

If you love blues you love repetition. This has it in spades.

This felt pretty unoriginal to me, even by 1960 standards. By this time, Ray Charles was off doing his thing, making songs that seem inventive even looking through a modern day lens, so it seems kinda weird to me that this just seems like such basic blues/jazz songs that don’t really move the needle at all. But this could be just classic white guy trying to analyze jazz so idk if I’m right.

I'm not really a blues guy. I can appreciate the influence Muddy Waters has, but it's really not for me.

This was better than I expected it to be. But the sings did sound very similar instumentally to my untrained blues ear. 2 stars

Ok

lots of respect for this record, however it is just not my thing. But muddy waters rocked and was so influential

He truly was at Newport, can't deny that.

Not my cup of tea. Blues tends to sound the same to me.

As a lifelong guitarist, I've been conditioned to believe I'm supposed to like Muddy Waters (and other guitarists of his day, but especially Blues guitarists) and I understand and appreciate that he was a key influence on the artists that were themselves key influences on the artists that I hold dear. But man, it's a slog. I'm a big fan of Boom Boom which is *not* on this album. Definitely some cool guitar playing but also a lot of... guitar playing. I will give points because I know he scared the shit out of well-to-do white parents of the day and I'll always have a soft spot for anyone that scares the shit out of well-to-do white parents, especially with naught but a simple guitar and the temerity to exist.

3 star album, but live.

Hmm, I expected big things, but I didn't think it was that great. Kinda one dimensional? I didn't know. Little disappointing. I'm gonna give it....a two. I wouldn't listen to this again in purpose. Que underwhelming.

Makes me feel like I’m back at the ranch with my fellow gunslingers

4/10 - it was not great. Like it was fine but not the most enjoyable thing to listen to. Some of the lyrics were strange. Tiger in the tank was the epitome of this.

Enjoyed, doubt I would listen to again. But was interesting to hear the influence of the rock genre that followed

For an album that inspired so many English guitarists, it is surprising that there is little guitar or it is mixed way down in the recording. I have never been a big fan of the simple I-IV-V blues and this album does not venture far from that blues format. Just a meh for me...

Don’t typically like blues as a genre. Although it does remind me of really hot summers on the waterfront at the blues festival. Don’t necessarily enjoy the music in my day to day but can appreciate the feeling it gives me. Very summery.

I get it, The Blues is an essentially American musical genre. Muddy Waters is the Moses of American blues. I spent years of my life in school playing 12-bar blues chord progressions and I get it. Yay blues, not my jam.

STANDOUTS: not really, but it was fine OVERALL: 2/5

Major respect for a blues singer from 1960 named Muddy Waters, but I didn't really care for the album. Would've done it for me in 1960 though.

I'd really have to be in a certain mood to listen to this. Not a big fan of blues, and it's just too slow for me.

I can see how this is influential. But im sorry a lot of it sounds so similar or the same

Inte lika bra som jag trodde det skulle va, men inte dåligt

Pretty good, although I'm not a blues fan

Мне просто не нравится такая музыка. Лучшая песня - Goodbye Newport Blues.

I appreciate it, I'd enjoy it in the background in a dive bar but I'm not going to sit and listen to it in my spare time - 2.5/5

Not for me

Forgettable, no real hits or earcatchers. Probably very good for its time, but not a regular listen for me

Repetitive and definitely for the time. This is one of those times where the 64 year time difference since the album was originally released certainly shows! The incessant mouth organ in the back ground of every song, in the exact same key is almost borderline torture.

Right off the bat, I was worried that this might be the dullest thing I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong, it's still really boring, but perhaps not the most boring thing ever. At around 'Tiger In Your Tank' things start to get going for a couple of songs, but then someone had an aneurism and chose to play 'Got My Mojo Working' twice. Couple that with a snooze of a closer, and this is yet another disappointing encounter with the blues.

Muddy Waters plays a mean blues (probably), but if he wants to change my opinion on blues being repetitive and rather boring, he shouldn’t play “Got My Mojo Working” twice in a row.

First listen Saved 2/9 Top track: I've Got My Mojo Working

I’m sure this would have been great in an evening lounge 65 years ago.

Dope for what it is not not my cup of tea

I have not heard of this album before as I haven’t listened to very much of this genre. I didn’t mind it so much but I’m not a huge fan of live recordings so I found the album to be kind of meh. Maybe I’ll listen to some other songs from Muddy Waters but I probably won’t listen to this album again.

A great talent and really cool performance of an album. Not much I'd pick to listen to again, but I enjoyed most of what I heard when it was on.

Blues foundation…. Felt like I was at his concert whilst going for a run…. I’ve got my mojo working stood out.

Ik, but not a real standout for me.

I guess, if I'm in the mood for blues, this would be pretty good.

I am just not that into the blues. The repetition kills me. I see the merit in this album, but it just didn't do it for me. And there is a lot of harmonica on this album and it may be at its most annoying here because it seems to mostly only make one sound where it vibrates on one note for the entire song. It is actually kind of interesting this way but still mostly annoying to me. I feel so good I feel like balling the jack? I put a tiger in your tank? What is Muddy talking about? And the people love the mojo song so much that muddy plays it twice? Goodbye Newport Blues kind of hits weird right now because there was a shooting at Newport on the Levee last night and people were running and hiding and families were just trying to listen to music and eat dinner and it's almost not safe to leave your house anymore. I wasn't there but I didn't like reading about it because it seems like one of those places that should be immune to this sort of thing. Unfortunately this song failed to elicit much emotion from me. I'll give this two stars though because Muddy vibrates his mouth sometimes while singing and it makes me laugh.

blues and jazz are critical reasons parts of creating rock and roll, but they do not work for me. most of the songs are pretty boring, even though the talent is evident. normally would rate it a 3 because it ends on strong songs, but the background crowd noises are the worst part of live albums

I was never a Pearl Jam fan and after listening to this album, I'm still not a fan.

nagranie z koncertu, lepiej posluchac tych samych utworow z plyt

I have seen video of this show. The scrawny white guys in the crowd dancing are wildly entertaining.

Muddy Waters has a nice voice but I just can't do blues; all the songs sound the same. I also learned harmonica might be my least favorite instrument after hearing the same fucking trill one hundred times.

Good blues, I just don't like blues that much

2,5

Meh

melancholic

Bien mais un peu longuet

Muddy Waters plays the Blues.

Bluesy blues

Not for me

Not my vibe but decent background music for work.

folksy, blues. nice but not my fav

I'm completely fresh to the genre of blues and If I'm honest, this may be the first blues album i've ever listened too. I fear this album would be a slow burn for me and I'm not sure I'd want to commit to it. I just find it slightly repetitive however it is a very easy listen and I wasn't bored waiting for it to finish. Playlist Track: Got My Mojo Working Rating: 2/5 Date Listened: 08/01/2024

yeah keep repeating the same thing over and over. FUCK vocals.

Sounds like every other blues album. 2.5

Not really my thing, but it's not bad, the fact that it's live gives it a plus

A fun album of some classic-era blues. I wish the songs had more than one line repeated 100 times though. Can get really really repetitive.

2.5

Gros gars de blues back in the days. J'aime bien son style. Un plus avec l'harmonica. Son mojo is working. Overall un 2 même si 3 était possible.

Live concert typical blues.

ehh

Old school New Orleans Jazz/Jams.... 2-3 stars

Just not my kind of thing, or I wasn’t in the mood for it

Not my style, but I can appreciate the vibe of the sound. A bit simplistic for my taste but I can see how lots of music development came from this.

Fine, but not my thing.

Inget som satte sig på hjärnan

Fine bluesy jazz album. Not my favorite genre. Every song is good but sounds more or less the same.

2/5. This album was all over the place when it comes to track listing, hence the 2 star rating, but how can you knock the great Muddy Waters. I can clearly see where Jimi got plenty of inspiration.

Twee keer geluisterd maar ondanks dat ik echt wel het vakmanschap waardeer niet mijn ding. it doesn't spark joy.

Nice

Good blues album. Not a big fan of the blues.

Muddy Waters, muddy recording. He had a lovely voice and I could imagine not minding hearing this at a festival in 1960. In fact, I'd probably be beside myself. But now, I don't know.

Dans son style, ça dit être un bon mais bordel qu'est ce que c'est chiant le blues

Didn’t really like this now

Extremely grateful and appreciative what this album spawned, but I'm not a huge lover of this. Adore the cover though.

Like a smooth cuppa coffee… unfortunately just not my cup of tea

Not a bad listen, just not my taste.

Second Muddy Waters album we've gotten and I was disappointed once again.

Nah

I like the blues but this wasn't blue and gruff enough.

Was looking for something kind of quiet and thought this would work. It's a pretty good blues album. Nothing particularly mind blowing. The final song was by far the best with its more jazzy feel. 2

Highlights: "I've Got My Mojo Working," "Goodbye Newport Blues," "Tiger in Your Tank," "Soon Forgotten" 1960 is one of the greatest years in the entire history of all music ever made anywhere. After 100 years of blues music, its traditions had developed into world-historic, paradigm-shattering jazz compositions. So this all belies the pretended importance of Live in Newport as "the first electric blues record." You can hear from the audience, and from Waters, that the blues was alive, but this album had so much precedent, and was surrounded by superior and transcendent work that engaged with its same ideas. Just not up there in a list of all-time albums as far as I can tell.

Middle kinda I enjoy the grooveyness but past that it’s not something I’m going to listen to again probably and it’s no where near as bad as the last blues album I listened to

I found this to be a fairly straightforward live blues album. His voice is great, the instrumentation is solid but not outstanding, and the crowd involvement is ok but nothing special. That also goes for this album in general; nothing special. It was a decent album to listen to but I don’t listen to much blues music and this live album wasn’t special enough for its inclusion in my opinion.

Muddy waters is a great musician, but this was a live album and it did not deliver as live albums often do. Apologies, Mr. Mud. Each song was good, but sounded very similar to the previous. 2/5

Not for me

He's decent, but this style of blues is repetitive.

Ei oikein itsellä osu tuo rock n rollin alkuaikojen muoto. Se ei tietysti ole esittävän artistin vika, mutta ei sillä silti pisteitä kummemin siunaannu.

nice, but quality of the sound bad

I just don’t think I like this. Respect it. See the value in it. Just don’t particularly want to listen to it.

Inget jag i vanliga fall skulle lyssna på, men skönt med lite blues aktigt.

C'est non

je demande simplement un peu d'humanité (pas un live de blues)

beetje saai

5/10

It's very bluesy. As one might expect. If you enjoy blues music recorded quite badly, this will be right up your street.

As much as I respect the blues, I'm just not that into the straight blues genre. It's a cool record and I can see how it influenced a ton of music in the 20th century... but there's only so much 1-4-5 a man can take.

5/10

smor

This is one of those artists that I think I'm "supposed to like" but I just don't. I generally don't like blues. It's too slow and it's hard to sell me on almost anything that uses a harmonica. This album isn't excruciating. When the tempo picks up on songs like Tiger In Your Tank and I Got My Mojo Working it's not bad at all, but too much is just slow and a little samey to my ears. Muddy isn't a bad singer and certainly isn't a slouch with the guitar, but this just isn't for me. I suppose I get why others might like it but I'm just not into this.

jahas listoille ollaan päästy.. ensimmäinen blues live albumi.. hyvä taustamusiikki.. ei siinä.. mustien musiikkia......

I think I liked the studio versions of the songs better than the live ones. I've heard of him before, but it was nice to listen to more. I'll probably pick a couple songs off of it.

I do often like this genre, but this is a bit bland for me. Too much 12 bar blues and wobbly harmonica bits

Ok album but not my kind of music

Just not that into the style - too slow and gentle

More important than great, but still pretty good.

Correct, sans plus.

Not my kind of music

perfect for a muddy day.... not

I'm not a big fan of straight blues, so this record didn't do much for me. I enjoyed the songs well enough while it played, but nothing really stuck out to me and overall it is kind of forgettable.

Not a fan of the blues. Pass. 2/5

A testament to how Muddy Waters was influential was the fact that this album sounds like I’ve heard a thousand times except for the fact that all songs bar one I’ve never heard before. However this is a double edged sword - coming late to Muddy Waters this sounds tired to me precisely because I heard him through a hundred other artists. Also this specific album is not a mind blowing live performance and it’s neither the most remarkable in general - yet this still, even as a throwaway album, surpasses the vast majority of the white boy blues albums trying their best on this list. Maybe it will be another album to win me over I guess. This one kind of was rather neutral.

Als dit het beste is wat Blues ons te geven heeft, dan geef mijn portie maar aan fikkie.

Best aardig, maar ben gewoon niet zo'n blues man.

Met enige tegenzin toch netjes helemaal geluisterd. En ik kan niet zeggen dat ik er heel enthousiast van word.

Ik ben niet zo'n fan van live muziek, en ook niet zo van jazz. De liedjes zelf zijn wel leuk, maar soms ook wel erg cliche. **

Not my type of music, says the same things over and over again with mediocre instrumental

Nothing wrong with this. Can see why it is included, influence felt everywhere. Didn't love it though.

Diciamo che il blues non è che mi faccia impazzire... Mi sembra tutte noiose/lamentose uguali. Ma non penso siano brutte, nel senso, capisco che fa quel che fa bene, solo che non fa tanto per me.

Hlustaði á nokkur lög. Allt í lagi

It’s okay, not my preferred music.

This Muddy Waters album was recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island on July 3rd 1960. Muddy Waters was one of the most popular blues artists of the 1950s, so it's no surprise his band was playing at this festival. However this day of the festival was almost cancelled after a riot the night before, but the promoter convinced the city council to let it continue. Because of this decision, we now have a piece of blues history recorded live! The blues music is the older Chicago style, but that's what makes it so unique. It sounds like Muddy Waters was performing in a cool, relaxed way, when there are reports that the audience absolutely loved his music and were all dancing. The recording was well done too, since we can hear all the individual instruments, as well as the powerful baritone voice of Muddy Waters. If you are a fan of blues music, then this is one album you can't miss!

Pretty boring

Sounds like I’d expect a 1960 live album to sound

Вне текста и контекста это невозможно оценить

Ehhh... heard better live albums.

While it warmed dusty parts of my road trip , I couldn’t get past the very repetitive trill on the harmonica which was always the same note through the whole album

good enough bg music but eh.. nothing stood out to me.

Blues just isn’t my bag.

Possibly revolutionary in its day, nowadays sounds vulgar, a generic blues album.

It was okay.

Not a fan of the blues

Globalement on se fait chier. I've got my mojo working est à sauver et encore ? (bonnes percussions) 2

ikke for meg

Our second back-to-back artist! I appreciate the authenticity of this as a live album, but I like the other one better

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: I've Got My Mojo Working Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Running out of ways to say I just don't mess with the recorded blues like that. It's fine.

The early 60s seems like a bizarre time. A young, liberal JFK is elected and living the glamorous, innocent Camelot life. The most popular song was "Theme From A Summer Place" an orchestral instrumental that sounds like a housewife on valium walking to Mervins. In this context Muddy At Newport must've sounded like raucous satan worship. In 2021, not so much, with one exception - there's a moment about 1 minute in to "Feel So Good" where people in the crowd start yelling and for a moment you can hear the energy in the room and feel how it felt to be there live 80 years ago. I think I want live blues to feel like the scene in Black Snake Moan where Samuel L Jackson is doing that Mississippi hill country blues thing and beat up Christina Ricci is sexy dancing with all the men and women at the juke joint. But instead this was At Newport. C-

Too much mojo for me

The Best of mundo waters

Hard Again is easily a better album from Muddy Waters

Classic rock and roll. Historically important, I'm sure, but not especially entertaining to my ears.

Blues.. Should be cross-linked in the dictionary under 'Repitition'. I get that he is doing a live performance and there are people listening, ready to throw stuff in case he sucks. But that doesn't make it more enjoyable. At first I thought he might be a bit slow in the head, or maybe that he's stuttering. But that just seems to be his way of singing? Really couldn't get into it. A few times he just stopped singing and apparently shook his head like a rabid animal making strange noises. And when he noticed the audience responded to one of his songs more than before, he just repeated it - that felt so cheap. But who am I to judge? The audience seemed to like it, so maybe the perception of music shifted over the decades. Two stars, didn't really care for it.

Live Blues

2.5 - essential blues right here. band is so tight, it's amazing. hoochie coochie man is the standout for me.

Muddy Waters: Self Proclaimed Coochie Man

live jazz - 2.1

Unspektakulär! Musikalisch passiert nicht viel. Die Texte sind auch ziemlich monoton und alles andere als inspirierend. Wahrscheinlich eine Frage der Zeit. Aber es gibt auch schlimmeres.

eh

I'm not really feeling any of the tunes except for Tiger In Your Tank.

1960. Key Songs: Tiger In Your Tank, Got My Mojo Working

Ok live album. Jazz of course. I mean yeah it's good. Not very anything just good jazz. Not a really big fan of this to be honest. Favourite: I Got My Brand On You Least favourite: I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man/Tiger In Your Tank

How to earn a 1: super annoying harmonica repeated nonsensical lyrics live album This album hits all 3!

I don’t know what it is about Muddy Waters that I just don’t like…. And live albums are never great…. Not the worst 1 star by far but 1 star nonetheless

Kjeddeelllliggggggg, måtte bytte sang siden jeg skulle øve på ting. 3/10 would not try again

bluesy album kinda good but a tad underwhelming

not my thing

Blues and live records…

I don’t like it very much

Not a blues fan. But appreciate the influence he had on the Beatles

Crowd pleasing songs, very little variation in melody. Favourite track: I've Got My Mojo Working

Interesting to hear from a historical perspective, as a snapshot of what was going on in 1960 You can certainly hear some of the influences that were passed down to Hendrix and the Stones But in 2026, I'm never going to reach for this album

Maybe it's because I'm not American, but I can't really see the appeal

not really my genre, was boring

didn't care for it

It’s repetitive

Not a fan of live albums do love Muddy Waters though again studio albums more than live albums

Don't get it.

Live album.

I’m half way through this and I don’t want to continue. I feel like I’ve heard this album 10 times before and every song is the same. I’m not continuing this 3.8/10 1.9/5

unfortunately could not be less of my thing

boring, je croyais d'être dans sinners

I already wasted the time listening I'm not wasting more rating...

It's kind of expected that this sort of music treats its lyrical content as an afterthought, but here things are so dire that if I didn't know better I'd think I was being mocked. Like I'm being dared to sing Ive Got My Brand On You to myself in the self checkout queue at Tesco. Ditto with Hoochie Coochie Man - what the hell is the point of any of this? If you're telling me this is all about the musicianship then fine, but you can't also tell me there arent thousands of other people in midcentury America that have made this exact record, or that you couldnt go to Blues night down at your local and hear pretty much the same thing. Please, no more blues.

A difficult listen. Time has rendered the blues the most formulaic and stale of music genres. There’s simply nothing here to get excited about. Sorry Muddy!

Slightly emotional 1 since this album is so far away from the vibe I want right now after just having gone through a significant life event that it’s in a different time zone. Also a much weaker live album than others of the era (shout out Jerry Lee Lewis). Low energy, but I guess that’s just the genre. The other Muddy albums I’ve heard so far from the list were much better than this too

Live AND blues??? I almost just outright skipped this, but then that wouldn't have been true to this challenge - which is becoming exponentially more challenging by the day... As expected, this was dreadful. Simply repeating the title of the song is NOT good music.

Slutt med livealbum pls

Never been a big fan of blues, and this isn't the album to get me into it. I get that its influential, but its still not that interesting.

Just not my shtyle of tune.

Live blues album. Just not very good. Not very interesting

I'm pretty sick of live albums on the list and this one did nothing to differentiate itself. It started out as run of the mill, squeaky blues from the 60's and ended up being repetitive and completely missable. I couldn't tell one song from the next, all were "Soon Forgotten." 1.15.

I don't have much to say about Muddy Waters or At Newport 1960. It's obviously a very forgettable album as I just finished listening to it and can't tell you anything about it. It was passive background music that didn't strike or chord and stand out in any way (good or bad). I'm sure there's some historical significance but none of it translated or remained relevant 65 years later. At least it was relatively short I guess. 1.02 stars

Nowadays, I really dislike blues Every song sounds the same and I fucking hate the harmonica

More boring live music. This is actually kind of atrocious though.

Yeah this hasn’t aged well

Jazz halt

"I put a tiger in your tank" what in the stupidest goddamn shit is this? "Got my moBRPPPRPPRPPRHRPRRHjo working!" - good on you, bud, just shut the fuck up now, please. Stupid repetitive garbage, not surprising this "jazz" thing went out of style.
