Product Description
From Amazon.com
Few blues artists covered as much territory as did Muddy Waters, and it's more than evident if you put this collection and The Complete Plantation Recordings side by side. Even more than the prior His Best collection, these recordings illustrate Waters's talent not only as a composer and performer (as usual, many of the songs were written by Willie Dixon), but also as a bandleader. The backing musicians--including several who were by now name artists in their own right, such as James Cotton, Buddy Guy, Earl Hooker, Little Walter, and A.C. Reed--are tight as a drum and smooth as a greased axle. This essential collection contains several classics, including but not limited to "Got My Mojo Working" (Waters's studio take on what has to be the most-covered blues song in existence), "She's Nineteen Years Old," "Good Morning, Little School Girl," "The Same Thing," "You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had," "You Shook Me," and "You Need Love" (which will sound oddly familiar to Led Zeppelin fans). It rocks, it rolls, it shakes, it's quintessential Chicago blues. --Genevieve Williams
Description
Muddy neophytes--begin here! The work of Muddy Waters is soessential to the blues tradition that his cultural impact is nearly inestimable. The ambassador of electrified Chicago blues, he not only inspired generations of bluesmen to come,but simultaneously laid the groundwork for rock & roll (he was laying down proto-rockabilly tracks as early as 1948). Though it might seem like a tall order to anthologise the career of such an iconic and prolific artist, this compilation does an amazingly effective job.
In the '50s, Muddy was busy defining post-war blues with the galvanic electric guitar work of Jimmy Rogers and the searing harp of Little Walter. His imposing, authoritative voice is like a force of nature on tracks like "Forty Days and Forty Nights" and "Just To Be With You". Muddy's gentlemanly bearing perfectly contrasted the unabashedly carnal nature of most of his lyrics. Nearly every tune here is an unqualified expression of lust (yetmore fuel for the rock & roll fire). This collection also serves to underline the songwriting abilities of Waters and his cohort Willie Dixon. Between them, as HIS BEST attests, they composed the lion's share of the standard blues songbook.
