Muddy Waters- I Just Want to Make Love to You (Electric Mudd Version)

[Durandal1717]

The most legendary acidic heavy fucking psych riff of all timespace

[joebonds]

yeah...this goes back 30+years>>definitely Muddy vocals...but it was Alvin Lee's ax

[bingoaustintexas]

One of my 1of the 3 albums... it was an imspiration that lead me to all the Blues Albums of hte 50s and then back to the 40s, 30s, and 20s... even back to Scott Joplin and into the time warp.

[GrigoriZhukov]

if this ain't blues...then the circle jerks never played punk.

[AntoniusRome]

I love this album. IMHO its a CLASSIC! I listen to it often. Way to go Muddy for not letting yourself be limited by what others think you shouild play.

Personally I call this music RAW BLUES.

[scumbagstyle]

Awesome awesome awesome version. Still dig Alex Harvey's version best, but that's because I'm strange.

[SamEnough09]

You may not call this the blues people but egnolage the fact that it is a perfect gateway for young people to go back to original blues!

[abanks47]

@SamEnough09 i may call this soft rock if i please. there is definitely blues in this track. not fully but still damn well the blues.

[guitarist5477]

i like all the originals but i dnt see why this album as well as the psychedelic howlin wolf album were soo hated

[Snapper333yt]

This album rocks if you are a fan of blues or blues rock. it is certainly as good or better than the more popular Foghat version.

[splinterx01]

one person dislike...he doesn't wanna make love?

[hapzap13]

The blues funk.......

[jhharrington1]

If this is supposed to be a bad version of Muddy Waters then I'll take "subpar Muddy Waters" over most anything out these days. I think this is a good album if you take it for what it is but I understand why Muddy himself kind of panned it because he felt it wasn't true to his style.

[d36williams]

fucking awesome



[timjmoran]

man.. don't know if it's the upload or what.. but the electric gtr. solos are REALLY

buried on this. It IS pretty funky, tho.. I don't know why this alb. was so pilloried

when it 1st came out- don't sound all that bad ta me. I can see why the hip-hop

crowd would want to sample it tho.

[Ixtulu]

We, the older guys know all these Blues Musicans...even for me from Austria Muddy Waters was well knonw as one of the best Blues guitareros. In the late 70ies I have seen him live on stage in Southern Austria, it was a Jazz and Blues Festival. Sometimes international blues and rock musicans find the way to Austria too.......normaly we have to travel to London, Amsterdam, Paris or Berlin, if we want to see such musicans.

[TrashcanBoogie]

for those two stupid acidhead posers: it's "orange sunshine" and "purple barrel".

[MrUnseenBucket]

Had no idea this song covered by Etta James was a blues song by muddy.. wow

[J5MARLON]

@MrUnseenBucket Etta James is also considered a blues artist as well.

[67mrblack]

This album is the shit!....this is the real missing link from blues to metal......

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@67mrblack if there hadn't ever been any blues, there WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN METAL. Think about it, listen to Zep and Cream, their early libraries were full of blues staples from Willie Dixon, Elmore James, Skip James, Howlin Wolf, just to name a few. Remember Zep's How Many More Times? Go back and listen to Howlin Wolf's How Many More Years, very similar. Zep also covered I Can't Quit you Baby, old Willie

Dixon tune, and Cream did Spoonful, I'm So Glad, Sitting on Top of the World.

[TheThediego46]

this song looks like jimmi hendrix...

[kyreem100]

this reminds me of my grandaddy sitting on his porch him listening too his records i miss you alot

[MrGranousty]

This new kind of blues, + a Yellow Sunshine, make me tripping more than 24 hrs, but you were not born :

Hope your dad has the sme vibes in his balls ! ! !

[williamthebastard1]

@MrGranousty wasn't that barrel orange?

[bareknuckles2u]

Oh damn, this is bitchin'! This album got soooooooooo much bad press, and some songs are just ok, but this fuckin' rocks!

[joeb810]

I was playing Bass on that session and other things on that album. I had problems with it but was getting paid minimum Union Scale. Across the board, I think the entire album sucked. Let's Spend The Night Together made my teeth hurt. It was beyond horrible! It was not recorded at 2120 South Michigan. It was recorded at the"new studio" on 23rd street. I loved the Mud but hated that Album! The Mud hated that album but he needed the money. I still have my original pressing and it's depressing.

[mrpowderfinger]

Muddy Waters sits in with the Electric Mayhem.  His vocals sound great but out of place on this album, however I imagine I could enjoy this as an over the top live performance if this arrangement went on the road.

[oliverecords]

It's funny to read those "purists" comments. I have discovered the blues through Jimi Hendrix and some other musicians who were labelled "rock" artists. I don't think one can't seriously say Jimi didn't play what we call the blues. He was a notorious Elmore James fan by the way, and he played the most psychedelic shit you could get out of an electric guitar, as well as Red House. It's all about music anyway. I love the path I followed from Cypress Hill to Muddy Waters!

[abanks47]

@oliverecords preach brotha! definitely agree with the last comment

[swanski100]

@oliverecords discovered the blues the same way man, ever listen to Jimi's Blues album?

[oliverecords]

@swanski100 Well if you refer to the 1994 compilation, yes. It's the first Jimi record I have ever bought, before getting into crates and such. I used to play his version of Born under a bad sign with some wah on guitar :)

[Henuze]

@oliverecords

I had the same path from Cypress Hill to Muddy and I think both are good on their own area. If someone dont like rap it means he is listened some mtv shit or he just dont understand it. Just like racist dont understand other colours of skin. Racist get confused and start to make hatespeach and yell his/shes thoughs to other people.

Peace!

[theplourde]

This is the only good on on Electric Mud. But that doesn't make this album any better.

[TheMusicOfWhy]

I actually just prefer this to the original

[ralynnandme1]

@TheMusicOfWhy This is the original. This came out before Etta Jame's version.

[TheMusicOfWhy]

@ralynnandme1 I mean his stripped-down blues version, the Electric Mudd one is all psychadelic and shit, i love it.

[ralynnandme1]

@TheMusicOfWhy Ooh ok.

[SebMtl78]

Funny... Muddy Waters kindoff sounds a bit like Jimi Hendrix on this

[MrGranousty]

When I discovered it, a few seconds there was a doubt !

42 years later, there's no doubt !

[bourbonbigshot]

I love this music. Purists always accuse those who try new things of being sellouts. This was an older man stretching his wings and doing something different and young. The true sellouts are the people who can't open their minds to the creativity of others and allow for something different. Those people claim to be non conformists but aren't. I think that this is an interesting album for Muddy Waters, and it takes nothing away from his other traditional blues. This album was ahead of its time.

[slightreturn104]

I dont see how anybody could hate this. I actually prefer it to the original.

[WeedVulva]

his BEST album..dont be fooled

[chillydotjeff]

My next music purchase . . hands down!!!!!

[borntrippin]

somebody get the septic tank, cause this is da poop!

[sweetestperfection90]

i dont know how people find this anything less than excellent!!! i usually hold my dad's taste to be pretty impeccable but he hates this album. i've always loved it!!!!who cares if it's not for purists; life so far has taught me that life's too short to be a purist!

[hapzap13]

OH YEAH !!!!!!!!

[DoctorPencilK]

I bought this album yesterday.

It's pretty damn good.

[saxdragon99]

Muddy Waters fronting a band of stoned hippies. I dug it in 1968 and i dig it now. Musically awful, but if you've ever played while tripping you can tell it captures that edge of insanity feeling very well.

[taariqtaariq]

@saxdragon99 : dead right!

[fourdeeounce]

my first time hearing muddy waters.......straight amazing.

[TJRatfink]

one of my fave blues albums along with After The Rain

[motherbrain86]

just great electric blues nuff said

[bigkingbud]

i think this album woulda been tons better if theyda wrote some new songs for the new sound they had come up with.

[eihwazone]

love the lyrics...'i want to make love to u'..... 'i dont want u to wash my clothes'  man was ahead of his time...good post banks.

[enforcer4444]

I was always warned to stay awa from this album..Curiousity killed the cat.

[abanks47]

you really dont like the sound at all? I dont think it touches Muddy's original blues work but i think he has a good sound, o well to each i guess.

[Jw071]

Muddy Waters himself wasn't too happy about this album, I believe he said that it sounded like he was 'electrocuting cats.' It was merely an attempt by the record label to cash in on the psychedelic movement of the late 60s. However it speaks a lot of Muddy, in my opinion, to sound so good on an album he didn't even want to record.

[Kohntarkosz]

One of his last interviews, he was asked which of his records he liked best, he said something like "Oh, I think they were all really good". Johnny Winter, who was also sitting it on the interview then interjected, "...except Electric Mud". Muddy replied "Yeah, well, that was a pile of shit, wasn't it".

BTW, I believe the guitar solo here is being played by Pete Cosey, who later played with Miles Davis on the Dark Magus, Agharta, and Pangaea albums.

[Ledvolta]

@Jw071 well said. Muddy makes it w-o-r-k.

[TheWhiskeyRover]

@enforcer4444  agreed

[enforcer4444]

I thought this would be good.But I am kinda dissappointed.Good thing Johnny Winter came along and helped him get away from shit like this.Not a bad arrangement.But it dont suit Muddy.

[enforcer4444]

I do like that picture of RL Burnside on your profile.

[abanks47]

good eye dude, no one knows who that is. everyone keeps thinking its my grandfather er something.

[enforcer4444]

hed be a cool ass papa to have.....His grandson Cedric and a dude named Lightnin' Malcolm got a thing going on called the JUKE JOINT DUO..THey got videos on here.Check em out if you get time.They really rock the house like this. If you seen them you know what Im talking bout.But if not.Check em out.I promise you wont be disapponted!!!

[enforcer4444]
