Should have been better...

"I love Muddy Waters and was stoked about this DVD. Unfortunately it couldn't keep me awake. I was expecting much more in the way of concert footage. What was there was usually chopped up with random interviews. The smokin' version of "Got my Mojo..." only teased. Very few actual interviews of Muddy. I'm not sure it was even a good general documentary on the blues. The best parts were listening to Keith Richards mumble incoherently...this at least provided some comic relief."

"When 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 versus some random mumblings by Mr. Death Warmed Over, Keith Richards. All in all, this was a disappointment."

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!"

ANOTHER EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY

"I just bought this & the Howlin' Wolf Story & John Lee Hooker, That's 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 well worth having."
