Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

One of the best recordings in Chess Records' 50th Anniverary series is the first of two bookend Muddy Waters collections, His Best 1947-55. Documenting Waters's most creatively and commercially successful years at Aristocrat/Chess, this collection begins with his formative years and ends with Waters at his peak. So you're in for a lot of terrific bottleneck slide guitar work as well as electric Chicago blues; what's to criticize? Superb remasterings of "I Can't Be Satisfied", "Rollin' and Tumblin'," "I'm Ready", and "Mannish Boy" are simply beyond reproach. With simple bass accompaniment from Ernest "Big" Crawford, Waters's bottleneck tracks are spare, haunting and, quite frankly, perfect country blues. And listening to Waters, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, and Jimmy Rogers piece together (and perfect very quickly) the classic Chicago sound is pure blues epiphany. At the very least, this collection shows you why Waters's rollicking stop-time classics like "Mannish Boy" and "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" have sparked endless imitations over the years--and why nobody has played them better since. --Ken Hohman

5.0 out of 5 stars Utter briliance. 30 Sep 2004
By A. Willmer VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This collection of songs is a real must for anyone who's interested in learning more about the origins of popular music. When listening to these tacks you can't help but feel that this is where it all started. The Beatles, the Stones, Clapton - they'd all be nowhere if it wasn't for the likes of Muddy.

Every track is a gem. There really isn't a weakness on this record. You're taken on a journey from the softer, more primitive recordings from Muddy's career through to the much heavier, meatier tunes like 'Hoochie Coochie Man'. Songs like this just ooze this aura of coolness that you just can't find in today's music. Muddy is a much neglected artist. Get this record now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muddy's Best 13 May 2010
Format:Audio CD
This collection is absolutely essential for any lover of electric blues. On one album it presents a complete framework of what became British 60s blues in its original form. The numbers comprise a large proportion of the set lists of bands like The Stones, Pretty things, Yardbirds, Mayall etc. from that time. Muddy may have enjoyed different productions of some of his numbers later in his career e.g. the Johnny Winter produced "Hard Again" album, which is a real gem, but if you love Muddy, or remember Eel Pie Island in 63, you must have this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Listening 9 Jan 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Muddy Waters is essential to any blues collection. If you are new to blues, he would be a great artist to start off with; if you've been around blues for a while, keep checking him out - he's one of the best, bridging the divide between the old acoustic country blues and electric blues.

This collection contains a lot of Muddy's best known numbers and for £2.99 for twenty tracks you just can't go wrong. If this music is new to you, once you've listened to it a few times, have a look round for some more of his recordings; there's more where this came from!
