 Definitive? No. Viable Introduction? YesJun 22, 2010
If all your budget allows for is a reasonable introduction to Muddy Waters, this is as good as it gets. The bulk of the signature Chess material is here, but there is just a little too much missing to allow the assemblers the conceit of "definitive collection"---too many of the lesser-hagiographed Chess sides are missing, and none of his back-from-the-living-dead work toward the end of his life, those remarkable Blue Sky (CBS) albums Johnny Winter produced for him with his touring band and assorted Chess-era guests (such as Walter Horton and Willie Dixon), is represented here. There's no such thing as a bad Muddy Waters collection, of course, but if you really are looking for "definitive" you'll have to turn a) to the two sets anthologising his complete Aristocrat/Chess output from 1948 through 1958 (one called "Rollin' Stone" and the other "Hoochie Coochie Man," and you can rest assured that somebody's going to assemble the set covering 1959-64 soon enough); and, b) all three Blue Sky albums. This one will get you through until you get them, but don't make the mistake of assuming this is the alpha and omega of Waters's music.
 Love Me some Muddy WatersMay 13, 2010
Any "Best Of" is a good place to start, so if you're New to the Blues,
Pick this up. Muddy, Howlin Wolf and Elmore James are my Holy 3,
so this will give you a good education, into Chicago Blues,
once removed from the Delta, with some great songs by Willie Dixson
and Muddy Waters. Preach On!

Music that bring back history lessons from conversations over heard by our parents. Some of the sounds bring back memories of listening to the radio during the 50's and 60's or listening to our parents talk about music with their friends or remembering them having friends over for card parties and dancing.
