Description
180g vinyl LP + bonus CD digipak.

Sixteen great tracks, a dozen of which were Muddy Waters most successful recording for Chess Records, including 'Hoochie Coochie Man' and 'I Just Want To Make Love To You', staple repertoire of British blues bands during the 60s.

Bonus CD includes the complete album 'The Best of Muddy Waters' plus fourteen bonus tracks. Digipak presentation with updated liner notes.

Description
The complete album + 4 bonus tracks – pressed on limited edition 180g vinyl. Chicago was the centre for electric blues from 1948 when guitarist/singer-songwriter Muddy Waters had his first rhythm & blues chart hits, 'I Can't Be Satisfied' and 'I feel Like Going Home'. Waters, born McKinley Morganfield was more than a pioneer in the Chicago electric blues scene though; he was a great singer of American vernacular music - a vocal artist of astonishing power, range, depth, and subtlety.
Presented here is his complete LP The Best of Muddy Waters, a greatest hits compilation released by Chess Records in April 1958. The twelve songs were originally issued as singles between 1948 and 1954, and most appeared within the top ten of Billboard's rhythm & blues chart.
"My hero? It's got to be Muddy Waters. Because I know him as an all-round gent and his music is sublime. I've never forgotten what a gentleman he was, and it made me think, you didn't have to be a loudmouth." - Keith Richards
