Customer Reviews Good Muddy, not much Dizzy Dizzy is on one song, and plays a few notes on another. My main point in writing this review was to say that this album should not be listed under Dizzy Gillespie. If you want Muddy Waters, this is a good album, and certainly worth the money. If you want a Dizzy Gillespie album, you've come to the wrong place. Oh If Only... The real disapointment however is the sound quality. The energy on this cd is outstanding. There is a guitar that is very low in the mix, and it is a strain trying to hear it, which is a shame. The songs are all great one after the other,oh only if it had better sound. I would rate this 5 stars if the mix was better, because the music is first rate all the way. Great songs, Great recording, Great price! Delta enters into licensing arrangements with various blues, classica, pop, holiday and world music catalogs and is the premier budget-priced label known for releasing compilations. Laserlight Digital is a trademark of Delta Entertainment. While the songs on this CD are available on several other Muddy Water's discs there are a couple of things that make this disc attrative. First, the inclusion of the two numbers which include the performance of Dizzy Gillespie, "Kansas City" and "How Long" is a very nice touch. Secondly, the digital remastering job is exceptional. Last but not least, while all of these songs are available elsewhere, buying them on this disc certainly can't be beat. .
