At Newport 1960
''At Newport 1960'' is a live album by Muddy Waters performed at Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island, with his backing band, consisting of Otis Spann (piano, vocals), Pat Hare (guitar), James Cotton (harmonica), Andrew Stevens (bass) and Francis Clay (drums), on July 3. Waters' performances across Europe in the 1950s and at Newport helped popularize blues to broader audience, especially to whites. The album is often said to be one of the first blues live albums.
The album was released in the US on November 15 that year, featuring eight songs, from "I Got My Brand On You" to "Goodbye Newport Blues". In 2001, record label Chess released a remastered version, which includes three bonus tracks recorded in Chicago in June. Although ''At Newport 1960'' never charted, it received critical acclaim and was influential for future bands. It was ranked on several music lists, including at number 348 on ''Rolling Stones'' "The 500 Greatest Albums of all Time" in 2003.
==Background==
After releasing his debut album ''The Best of Muddy Waters'' (1958), a greatest hits collection, and ''Sings Big Bill Broonzy'' (1960), a collection of covers of songs by blues musician Big Bill Broonzy, Waters decided to perform at the live concert Newport Jazz Festival. Waters had already been a well-known blues musician across Europe and the United States in the '50s. His successful performances with his electric blues band, consisting of half brother Otis Spann (piano, vocals), Pat Hare (guitar), James Cotton (harmonica), Andrew Stevens (bass) and Francis Clay (drums), increasingly popularized the blues in the mainstream music of United States and Europe, especially to the white audience.
