Muddy Waters Let's spend the night together Rolling Stones

[wormtownpaul]

One of the best covers of a song ever, recorded on what is otherwise one of the worst albums ever recorded. Get rid of the hideous guitar and this is an ace.

[davidoffon]

And I thought to myself it couldn't be Hendrix because I never heard the like of it beef oar , it was something just as good an' in stereo

[elgrandwazir1]

This is the single, different mix and slightly faster than album version. MUCH better organ sound! (Marshall, what happened here?!). Pete Cosey's lead guitar is great; & the drumming is superb! Muddy sounds really jazzed; he's having FUN with the lyrics!

"Don't you worry 'bout what's on MY mind; no, I don't want you to think about it.

I'm 'n no hurry, I can take my time. You know I ALWAYS take it!!"

So, Haxo, did Muddy have any other remarks from your chat with him that you might recall?

[irrelayfo]

does anybody have the tab to this song?

[buckize68]

I know Muddy hated the "Electric Mud" album, but for us Buddy junkies out there, this is a classic. Takes an okay Rock N Roll song and turns it into something with some teeth to it. I'm sure Mick and Keith felt that, after hearing this version, any version of their's was second rate. Love the wailing at the end..................

[HaxoAngmark]

As I recall, Muddy Waters greatly disliked this album. He felt exploited and embarrassed by the whole project.

[jonasjar]

@HaxoAngmark yes, others have pointed that out too - but I still like this one :-)

[HaxoAngmark]

@jonasjar — Yes, I must admit I like it a lot too, even if Muddy didn't.

[Apan07]

Thx for uplaoding <3

[rldickie]

Muddy plaid some surprisingly heavy stuff for a blues man from time to time. This is pretty cool. If you dig this, check out the album "After the Rain" it goes Boom.

[PowderPinkandSweet]

Goddamn.

[kyzursozay]

Definitely the best cover of a Stones classic ever.. & my favorite song on the album...must be played LOUD to get the effect they were trying to achieve ... Muddy w/Marshall/Blue Cheer wall of amps..inside 12"X24" B/W photo of Muddy, 4" pompador, in white robe, holding /playing ultra rare Guild "Gumby"-shaped S-200 Thunderbird guitar... with a wicked "dogshit" eating grin. Man I pity the digital generation.

[gradydw]

the stones took they name from one of muddy's songs an muddy took their song an ran with it! thumbs up!

[leatherandtactel]

Really good tune, and I said tune not cover ´cos this could be lets spend the night together or any other song hehe

[DarkSmeagle]

sounds like Cream's Sunshine of your love xD

[DanielBowden1975]

Pete Cosey what a geezer

[jx14aby]

Awesome! 

Muddy water and my mojo filter.

[DYLANTENNESSE]

GOD BLESSES YOU,MATE!!! =D

[ynyslochtyn]

Best 'dogshit' I've ever heard!

[greatbighand]

Huge. I don't like the drumming though.

[imonlyyou]

I know a lot of blues afficionados (and Muddy himself) detested this when it came out, but I love it just like I love heavy blues-rockers like Cream, Humble Pie, Free, Jeff Beck Group, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After...

p.s. the last photo is Albert King

[ynyslochtyn]

Impressive version of great song

[Nostalgico80]

Best cover of the song, beats the Bowie's version five times.

[jonasjar]

@Nostalgico80 second that, bowie's good but he's no match for Waters

[badcoraphael]

this world needs muddy waters. look at the state of music today....utter nonsense.

[3peppone]

un immenso Muddy Waters.....splendida versione...

[jpdel31]

WHOHHHH THANKS

[vistuskos]

where is he now, that wonderful bluesman?

[Jolie028]

Great!

[zamae1989]

wooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!

[hapzap13]

Oh yeah !!!!

[kristoffmcewan]

is just impossible....

[eggsandwine]

very epic, mr waters!! thank you for the cover )))

[2quundar]

He was dare to do that because he was a king. A king do what he wants et you shut up, & kneel down, you yokells ( historic sense...)

[1947News]

I know Muddy Waters was an inspiration for the Stones. I've never heard his cover of their song before. Wow! I like it.

[thallassocracy]

It is really strange hearing a grown-up perform this spotty teenager's song.

Not one of Muddy Waters' finer moments.

[mudcatbluez]

Agreed. Electric Mud, where this track was lifted, was ill-conceived and Muddy was pressured into it by Chess. He said it himself later: "That record was dogshit!"

[mudcatbluez]

Gotta say, tho, the montage itself was nicely done! Nice vid--just not my flavor of Muddy!

[jonasjar]

I bow and thank for the praise, it was fun and I really tried to do a good job on it!

[jonasjar]

...and it might not be any of his finer moments, but I still enjoy it, like the organ intro, the guitar sound and his voice - but then again I never was a Waters expert!

[emjee]

@mudcatbluez Me either,Mud, didn't care for it at all. Although I have always really dug Muddy Waters. Amazing bluesman.

[riceboii101]

@mudcatbluez One mans shit is anothers gold!!!!!

[jonasjar]

@riceboii101 yesss-sirrrrrrr!

[JambiDAgenie]

@mudcatbluez Howlin' Wolf actually said that, they did a similar thing with him, "The Howlin' Wolf Album." Same sorta outcome i guess

[jamaton]

@thallassocracy you must be 100 years old to call this a spotty teenagers song!

[fld1201]

jonasjar, are you the one who made the pics montage??if yes..who's the guy with the big nose and the lady?

[jonasjar]

its from a record sleeve by I dont recall her name...or lets see... Ricky-Lee Jones or something in that vain. I think they are just hired models for the sleeve photo, dont know their identities, sorry!

[peirol]

awesome that a blues legend covered a rock bands stuff instead the other way around as was usual (i actually heard this version before the stones both awesome though)

[jonasjar]

seems like there were some commercial factors in the equation, not sure it was the thing he wanted to do on his own accord.

[aripahs]

this melted my soul away... in a good way of course!

[BaceBlack]

not bad

[marcobiglesias]

Que buen disco Electric Mud!!

[rockandahardstone]

bättre än bowies version, bättre än orginalet!

[southerngentleman75]

it is a track from Electric Mud :P ...and yes...best version for sure

[Fliegeras]

one of the best version I´ve ever heard

[jonasjar]

glad ya like it! once it starts, its hard to ignore! :)

[golbis]

great

[southerngentleman75]

good deal

[SadLookinMoon]

rågrym cover!! det svänger ju riktigt ordentligt!:)

kan mycket väl vara the best lets spend cover on planet earth:)

[jonasjar]

jepp, man får nog vara nöjd om man covrar så här bra, lite egen text har han också om jag förstått saken rätt. känn den råa kraften i den, här gäller det att kräma på, det här är inte idol 2008 med Peter Jihde!

[jonasjar]

pratade med en annan muddare som hade fått sina nerrivna så det kommer med rätt stor säkerhet att hända denna också

[SadLookinMoon]

det gäller med andra ord att njuta så länge det varar:) lägger du in ngt annat i 12-15 sekunder före själva låten minskar risken att YT plockar ned den avsevärt. men det är å andra sidan ett irritationsmoment man skapar då istället.
