Up Jumped The Devil (DSD64/128/256/512; DXD)*

Just when you thought you'd heard every possible take on the songbook of Robert Johnson, from true acoustic versions to Clapton's electric tracks, up jumps singer Carmen Gomes with her own rendition. The legendary bluesman died aged just 27 in 1938, amidst all those 'sold his soul to the devil' legends, and left a catalogue of just 29 songs, so you could argue there's nothing new to hear. However, Gomes gives her selected tracks an atmospheric, mystical spin, with minimal backing, a simple mic set-up, in Sound Liaison style, and a 'straight to DXD' as-live recording approach. Her sultry voice has immediacy and intimacy, the instruments captured with real vitality, and the whole recording drips with presence and a sense of performance. I can imagine this one proving popular on the demo circuit if we ever get back to them – and that would be no bad thing. AE

Muddy Waters - The Montreux Years
Qobuz 24/96




Nice live album!
The sound is decent.

The first time Claude Nobs, the future founder of the Montreux Festival, went to the United States was in 1965 to Chicago, where as soon as he got off the plane, he found himself immersed in a tour of the local blues clubs. His night ended in a daze, after concerts by Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters with shots of whisky served by Willie Dixon. A great moment in his personal history, a memory that must have resurfaced a few years later when the stages of Montreux were honoured by the presence of Muddy Waters in 1972, 1974 and 1977. This best-of selection of the three concerts in 16 tracks begins sublimely with the unarguable Nobody Know Chicago Like I Do. The father of modern Chicago blues, he is, as so often, at his best accompanied by the cream of musical talent (Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Bill Wyman, Pinetop Perkins...), faithful to the style he created twenty years earlier. Muddy Waters performs all his hits (Mannish Boy, I’m Ready, Got My Mojo Workin’, Rollin’ And Tumblin’, I’m Ready…) and other lesser-known numbers with all the class of an old cat that has not lost any of its sensual suppleness nor its wild instinct. Muddy Waters must have sung these songs a thousand times, but he still manages to give them a magical dimension. The interpretation is profound, the recording perfect in its clarity and density: this monster compilation of the Montreux years goes immediately to the top 5 of Muddy Waters' best live albums. © Stéphane Deschamps/Qobuz
