MUD MORGANFIELD’S “PRAISE HIM” reviewed in the premier gospel website, JOURNAL OF GOSPEL MUSIC! And be sure to check out his new lyric video!

October 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

A big shout out to our friend, Bob Marovich and his amazingly detailed, informative, and well researched and written website, Journal of Gospel Music for his new review of Mud Morganfield‘s new Delmark Records gospel blues single, “Praise Him!”

Thank goodness we have this “definitive online resource of gospel music of yesterday, today, and tomorrow” because gospel has to be one of the least documented music genres out there, it seems.

“Although Chicago’s Delmark Records is best known for its estimable blues and jazz catalogues, there’s a sacred single in the mix, brought to you by a most surprising source: Mud Morganfield, the eldest son of electric blues pioneer Muddy Waters. Expressing the religious experience in his own way, Morganfield conjures “Praise Him” as a hoodoo brew built on a pinch of blues, a dollop of gospel, and a generous scoop of Memphis-style soul. A salvation story sets the scene for this haunting praise song. Morganfield participates in a call-and-response with a trio of singers, while Luca Chiellini’s organ sets a brakeless tempo and guitarists Mike Wheeler and Rick Kreher, along with Mud on bass and Cameron Lewis on drums, offer a seething rhythm section. This track, which could benefit from a radio edit version, is less church hymn, more blunt testimony at a late night revival.” – Bob Marovich
