It's glorious MONO ....

Original 1966 first press on the legendary CHESS label... an incredible selection throughout both sides ... the 52 years young pressing is hard to be found in any better condition and therefore serves as a final collection artifact ... The tracks influenced thousands of artists!

McKinley Morganfield was hardly the name for a blues giant, let alone one whose influence spread far beyond boundaries of age, geography, and genre. So Muddy Waters it became, a moniker that both epitomized his Delta roots and the troubled moral climate of his age. Deconstruct Waters's music--the Son House-inspired slide work; a jazzman's innate phrasing and sense of timing; a voice that was weary, wise, and dignified all at once--and it won't come close to the mere sum of its parts.

Better to listen as this set issued in 1966 that was basically aimed in on a waning folk movement and rock & roll's blues-boom interests... the fabulous album bounces from "Mannish Boy" (his potent response to Chess Records labelmate Bo Diddley's copping his style for "I'm a Man") and his deep Delta roots, including early, stripped-down reworkings of Robert Johnson ("Walkin' Blues," "Kind Hearted Woman") and the roots classic "Rollin' and Tumblin'" to the smoky jazz-blues of "The Same Thing," which was basically the classic, "Spoonful."

The material recorded in the '40s often features Muddy Waters accompanied only by Ernest "Big" Crawford on bass, music as elementally pure as Waters ever recorded. It's arguably the only collection of the Real Folk Blues series (which also includes titles by John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Boy Williamson) that really lives up to its "folk blues" billing. More than a mere best of the best overview, the album captures the rare, naked essence of Muddy Waters' raw genius...
