Muddy Waters FOLK SINGER James Cotton(harmonica), Otis Spann(piano), Willie Dixon(bass), Buddy Guy(guitar) MCA Chess 1963-64 / 1999 The title is a misnomer if ever there was one. As the notes point out, this was an attempt to cash in on the 'Folk Music' craze of the times. The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary type music. This CD is really just Muddy playing the Blues.

Muddy Waters: His Best, 1947 to 1955 THE CHESS 50TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION MCA Chess 1997 Excellent Booklet with a historical bent. "When Muddy Waters began his recording career for the Aristocrat Records Label in 1947, the world was enjoying a post-war buzz of activity. India gained Independence, Maria Callas debuted, Dead sea Scrolls discovered, Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Al Capone and Henry Ford died." A lifetime ago.

Muddy Waters: His Best, 1956 to 1964 THE CHESS 50TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION MCA Chess 1997 Notes: "Muddy Waters might have been the most magnificent of all the Bluesmen to come out of Mississippi...Muddy became a father figure to generations of musicians, black and white. Muddy became an institution. Back in Indianola, we knew that he'd gone to Chicago, where he established a whole school that he'd rule for five decades. Some went to the South Side before Muddy and some went after...but no one had Muddy's authority. He was the boss of Chicago and the reason some call Chicago the sure-enough home of the Blues." -- B.B.

Muddy Waters ONE MORE MILE: Chess Collectibles, Vol. 1 Chess 1994 2CD Set Notes: "It's long been thought that all the existing Muddy Waters Chess studio recordings had already been issued; those that were still missing were presumed to be lost forever. Therefore, this surprise-package set of rarities and recent discoveries will delight even long-time Muddy Waters collectors and fans. The first thirty tracks on this set closely parallel the growth and development of Muddy's career at Chess Records. From the earliest tracks, which feature just a single guitar and bass, the growth of his musical development moves steadily along. Band members come and go, with the resulting changes in the group's sound, and we can actually hear the refining process at work."
