Jose Maria Domenech Fedi's profile

I like this record very much, great stuff, my review from Barcelona, July 23, 2008

It is very difficult being the son of a great figure as MUDDY WATERS and be recognized worldwide and this is the case of BIG BILL MORGANFIELD, MUDDY WATERS's son.
This wonderful 'Blues in the Blood' is his last effort and is very good both in music performance and composition in which revises a bit of history within the Blues to interpret the style of Sonny Boy or Yank Rachell in "Evil", sound of the 30's or Jimmy Burn's in "Feel Like Dyin".

got my eyes on you, thanks god is very fine, my review from Barcelon, June 21, 2008

Absolutely sensational. It's been a very long time since I heard a record by a relatively recent performer containing so good, so pure and so well performed BLUES and WOOGIE-BLUES.

Clearwater as good as ever with this 'West Side Strut', May 19, 2008

As I often say, I very much like Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater in spite of this touch of soul sometimes present in his songs. But this 2008 `West Side Strut' is a very good record practically without soul in it, only "Hypnotized" has some touch of soul.
This record features very good compositions, and great vocal and guitar performances: his guitar attack is still the one he took from his mentors Freddie King, Luther Allison and Magic Sam, with its typical West-Side sound. In almost any record there always are some songs that stand out. In this record there are three in my opinion absolutely great Blues: the originals "Blue Over You" , "Rock-A-Blues Baby" and Lowell Fulson's "Trouble… Read more
