Muddy Waters – The Best of Muddy Waters: AS Chess 75 (Mono Vinyl LP)

Muddy Waters The Best of Muddy Waters Reissued for the Chess Records 75th Anniversary Series on 180g Mono LP: Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes by Matt Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, Pressed at QRP

Muddy Waters’ The Best of Muddy Waters is a powerful collection of blues songs that include essential tracks such as “Hoochie Coochie Man,” and “Rollin’ Stone.” If the blues had a Mount Rushmore, Muddy Waters’ face would be carved front and center, cigar in hand, guitar slung low, smirk that says “You’re about to feel this in your bones.”

The Best of Muddy Waters isn’t just a greatest-hits record, it’s a cultural document. A snapshot of when the Delta plugged in, Chicago turned the volume up, and American music changed forever. Own this and you’re holding history that still swings like a wrecking ball.
