Coproduced and codirected by Robert Gordon, the 54-minute documentary is a nice companion piece to Gordon's book of the same name. It includes some bio material, tracing Waters's evolution from a sharecropping acoustic folk singer to a sharp-dressing, Chicago-based leader of one of the greatest electric bands ever, along with reminiscences and accolades from friends, family, and fellow musicians like Keith Richards, Bonnie Raitt, and Buddy Guy. There's music, too, of course, but if the program has a drawback, it's that there are no complete performances of the deep, dirty blues--"Hoochie Coochie Man," "Mannish Boy," and so on--that earned him immortality. Then again, there are innumerable recordings, including several "best ofs," to address that problem. --Sam Graham Description: Muddy Waters Can't be Satisfied is the first authoritative documentary of the man who invented electric blues and paved the road for rock 'n' roll. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ginger AZ Good information on the older blues, with older blues, combined with the later blues and events in Muddy Water's life. Rating:  - Could have been much betterWhen you view the story of Howlin' Wolf (appearing on some cable TV channels), Martin Scorcese's blues series or even the story of John Lee Hooker, this effort pales in comparison. Too much footage was wasted on Muddy the Womanizer; honestly, I don't care. I was looking for far more of the delta-to-Chess story, concert footage, et al. And having recently caught Willie "Big Eyes" Smith in concert along with Pinetop Perkins (both played with Muddy), I'm far more interested in what THEY have to say ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent DocumentoryHighly recommend this DVD to any music fan. Gives you real insight into the kind of man Muddy was. Rating: - Great Story!! Well done and not a concert DVD!Great content, very interesting. This is for the serious blues lover, curious about the late, great Muddy's life. It is not a concert footage DVD, although there are a few clips. It's a fabulous tribute, told in a biographical manner- truly enjoyable!! If you are a big fan of McKenzie "Muddy", you will *LOVE* this! Rating: - another great documentaryi just bought this & the howlin wolf story & john lee hooker thats my story. it's about time the industry started putting this great stuff out.i give them all five stars i just wish they were longer (less than an hour)except the john lee hooker 90 min.the muddy gives us a great deal of information on the kind of man he was and his style if you like muddy this is worth having. |
