Muddy Waters – Got My Mojo Working, By John Siscoe

This just in from the great John Siscoe:

“The two guys dancing offstage, and Muddy’s ballroom duet with James Cotton during the encore are highlights, but the whole thing is a wonder and a joy.”

East Portland Blog confesses to the following:

“I had heard Muddy’s version of “Got My Mojo Working” and countless covers on the radio (Chicago) all through high school and college. I had also the heard “LA Woman,” the Doors song where Morrison refers to himself as “Mr. Mojo Risin.” With only these two usages from which to conjecture a definition from context, I had always believed that a Mojo was a penis. I was out of college and working before someone explained to me that a mojo was not a penis and was instead a voodoo charm. In those days we didn’t have the internet.”
