A comprehensive collection of his singles for the Aristocrat and Chess labels

No other Muddy Waters anthology provides such a comprehensive collection of his singles for the Aristocrat and Chess labels from his first release releases for the Chess brothers in 1947 right through to 1962, making for an excellent value 98-track 4-CD set. In providing both A and B sides of every release, it gives an excellent, instructive and entertaining overview of his recordings aimed at the commercial market, especially in the context of an R&B scene which was changing rapidly during a decade and a half of musical evolution and revolution. It's a fabulous showcase for his talents as innovative guitarist singer and songwriter, tracing the development of his style from acoustic solo work through to his creation of the classic electric blues group line-up. It will find a market both with committed fans, and those wanting to discover the music and the unique style of one of the most influential and important figures in blues.
