Muddy Waters - Got My Mojo Workin'

[@rumpelstilskenmimisiku7263]

Connor Large damn. I love how you said that! Thats so cool. Plus its true. How long do you think until the mojo wares out

[@kubadzejkob332]

Well, the roots is the African music of the Africans brought to America from mid-16th to mid-19th century. They used to sing and play on the plantations, keeping their traditional African music alive. And in the early 20th century black musicians developed blues, rhythm and blues (R&B), jazz. But Muddy Waters were a great influence in music history. And they had class.

​@@juanitawilliams6631 Looks like James Cotton playing harmonica. While he played on most of Muddy's Chess recordings throughout the 50s and many in the 60s, Little Walter left Muddy's live group early in the 50s to lead his own band.

[@og6falcon742]

It is in almost all muddy songs, except for the super early years, until coming out of Mississippi to Chicago and he linked up with Lil Walter.

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

Yes, James Cotton

[@patois231]

James Cotton is pluggggggeeddd in and possibly if touched even gently nudged could cause severe electrocution. Cotton was on the Nirth West side of the Cross roads but he was also 2 and a half minutes late and being situated on the wrong side and corner. Those Dam Crossroads.

i didn't dislike, but i discovered this song with jimmy smith, and i really prefer the soul vibes of the jimmy smith version as it is more groovy and i prefer organ to harmonica. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ7Lcn2frNZrgc0

[@donnierichardson1643]

no doubt

[@swinginonthespiral8765]

@@tangwaye I listened to both. I completely disagree. The harmonica has so much more feeling to me with the range of the microtonal bends which the piano lacks. Cheers though for the recording - was a great tune still!

[@tangwaye]

@@swinginonthespiral8765 it is just my feeling, i feel more emotions through organ than through harmonica, i didn't tell you to agree with me :) And i really don't say that this is bad, i just say that the jimmy smith version is more my kind of music and has more soul to me ( sry for my english , i am afrench guy not really fluent in english ), but the jimmy smith version has really more groove and the muddy waters version is more bluesy.

[@deborahmccoy3837]

When I was growing up, every weekend the grown folks had the house rocking with bb King, muddy waters, howling wolf, lightning slim and the likes, it was blues city, not to mention the food, card playing, dancing and of course the liquor. Those were the days. I can just see them now, those old timers having a rocking, blues time.

I saw Muddy Waters do this at the first ever Blues Festival in Chicago in August of 1969. A great one day free festival. Willie Dixon, Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Luther Allison, Sleepy John Estes, Little Milton and more. It was incredible. Muddy Waters ended the day with this song and had the crowd in such a frenzy, he did the song twice.
