It's a testament
to Muddy Waters's consistency of vision that the final
chapter in his career was such a triumphant one. His last
four albums, all produced by guitarist/acolyte Johnny
Winter, were a ferocious return to form, boasting all
the stark, primal power of his strongest Chess sessions.
KING BEE, Muddy's final album and only '80s recording,
might just as easily have been cut in the '50s, judging
from the Chicago blues master's energy level and the band's
earthy, visceral attack. |

B.B. King has
long been known as a road warrior who regularly plays
over 300 dates a year. One of his most noted and unusual
gigs, LIVE AT COOK COUNTY JAIL, occurred on September
10, 1970. Performing before 2,117 inmates with minimum
security, King took his "captive audience" through
a set peppered with staples of his impressive canon. Backed
by a punchy horn section and peppering the set with his
trademark quick licks, King immediately won over the audience.
Of course, one of the most enduring facets of a live B.B.
King show is the neighborly relationship he quickly establishes
with whoever might make up his audience. The nearly 10-minute
version of "Worry, Worry, Worry" finds the King
Of The Blues discussing relationships and matters of the
heart whereas "Sweet Sixteen" and the medley
of "3 O'Clock Blues" and "Darlin' You Know
I Love You," are a spoken mini-tour of his early
catalog. |
