Blow Wind Blow (2:55) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Muddy Waters is hitting on all cylinders in Boogie Woogie Memphis. So much energy, so exciting a sound.It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Gee Ain’t It Hard To Find Somebody, which shows, blatantly, how much Muddy Waters has evolved as a singer. I came to like Hoochie Coochie Man. How Long is a very catchy tune. How Long (Live) is another favourite of mine. John Henry has a fun tempo. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. I listened to the opening track Rock Me and liked it a lot. Rollin and Tumbin is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Slim’s Slow Blues good vocals. After you’ve listened to Some Day Baby, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Stack Alee is pretty funky and mellow. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. In When The Sun Goes Down it becomes nowhere more obvious that Muddy Waters has yet to define own style.
