Without a doubt, the best blues collection! If you're looking to dive into Muddy's music, THIS is the ultimate choice. It's a perfect starting point for those new to his amazing blues. This incredible box set features 72 of his finest recordings from Chess. Every aspect of this release is outstanding. The packaging, the booklet, and, of course, the music, are all absolutely fantastic. Grab this one, you'll be SO glad you did!
Can someone tell me if this is an unauthorized copy? It kinda seems like it was taken from a vinyl record
Born in Mississippi in 1913, McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters, was given his stage name by his grandmother early on. Muddy Waters was a Blues artist who skillfully bridged the gap from traditional, acoustic Delta blues to the electric sound that has endured over time. He didn't just make the transition; he paved the way for others to follow. This box set's first two LPs span the years 1947 to 1954, while the third and fourth LPs feature the hits of the 1950s, many of which inspired British rockers who were about to make their mark. The fifth and sixth LPs cover the later period from 1960 to 1972. The very early years of Muddy's career are not included here, as they are covered in The Complete Plantation Recordings, and his 1980s work with Blue Sky (I'm Ready; Hard Again; King Bee) is also not part of this set. This collection focuses on the prime years of his career and is a must-have for any fan looking to own just one Muddy Waters set. The book included with this 6 LP set provides a great overview of Muddy's life and career, something that mp3 downloads just can't match. Muddy Waters was one of the most impactful blues singers of all time, influencing generations of musicians who came after him. If you're planning to get only one collection of Muddy Waters' work, I highly recommend this stunning 6 LP set.
