MUDDY WATERS Fathers And Sons (Chess LPS 127) Paul Butterfield US 1st Press MINT
RARE US first pressing of Muddy Waters` double-album "Fathers And Sons" on Chess Records (August 1969).
Musicians include: Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar), Mike Bloomfield (guitar), Paul Butterfield (harmonica), Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass) and Sam Lay (drums).
"Chess' much-vaunted Fathers and Sons 2-LP set, which documents the studio (1st LP) and live (2nd LP) encounters between the old guard and the new Turks of the Chicago blues, is an attractive, unpretentious success and should do well commercially. Certainly it's one of the finest sets of performances from Muddy in quite a while and will do much to offset the bad taste left by the previous Electric Mud and After the Rain albums.
Actually, the performances are surprisingly conservative efforts — certainly not the sort of exciting or fruitful cross-generation, cross-stylistic music one might have been led to expect from the lineup; Waters and Spann (and perhaps drummer Sam Lay) representing the modern Chicago blues mainstream, Bloomfield, Butterfield and Duck Dunn signaling more recent extensions of modern electric blues styles. No, the anticipated fusion doesn't really take place, and the younger musicians seem content in undertaking roles that are wholly subservient to Muddy's music. It gives an indication of just how highly the sons regard the father(s), and is a fine tribute to Muddy. (...)
Happily, Muddy is in excellent voice throughout these performances and he comes across solidly and excitingly. This is in fact some of the best, most convincing singing from Muddy in a hell of a long time; these tracks show that when he's at the top of his game he's unbeatable. And he's there most of the way through these performances. The music takes its lead from Muddy, and everything falls in place behind him. (...)
Verdict: some of the finest Muddy performances in a while but still a long way from the original performances on which his towering reputation rests." - Pete Welding, Rolling Stone - c. September 1969.
