MUD MORGANFIELD
& KIM WILSON
For Pops: A Tribute
To Muddy Waters
(Severn)
Now officially 60, Morganfield (a.k.a.
“Muddy Waters, Jr.”) is just four or five
years shy of the age at which his legendary
father jump-started the final phase of his
career by recording and touring with a
band that included Johnny Winter, James
Cotton, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, and
Pinetop Perkins. The stunning Hard Again
and some fine live performances ensued.
For obvious reasons, Mud couldn’t tap the
same supporting cast to record these 14
Muddy-identified songs. But his harmonica-player (Wilson), his guitarists (Rusty
Zinn, Billy Flynn), his pianist (Barrelhouse
Chuck), his bassist (Steve Gomes), and his
drummer (Rob Stupka) aren’t exactly
slouches, although they could be tighter
and rock harder. As for Mud, he probably
couldn’t sing more like his dad if he tried.

As for where the comprehensive 12disc (13 including the DVD) box The Lot by
Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor fits into
this picture, an argument can be made that
it doesn’t. Neither his albums and singles
nor those with his solo band The Cross sold
well, and it’s hard to imagine that they’ll
top the charts now in a lavish box that’s
going for between $100 and $150.
Riffs, however, if not hooks, do
abound. And the intermittent entertainment value of the degree to which Taylor –
now 65 and the recipient of honorary
music doctorates and yacht-racing trophies – sounded like a better-than-average
Rod Stewart the older and the mellower he
became should not be summarily dismissed.
