Muddy Waters king of the electric blues THe Mojo is working . great cd I have many of his cd's and I love this one when I'm driving and grilling.
Good introduction to Muddy Waters.
Most of it was recorded in the late 1970's. This is a compilation of Muddy Waters later work. It is a list of all his most popular songs and a good way to introduce someone to Muddy Waters. .
For a compilation it is excellent
If you aren't a blues fanatic who has or is planning on buying lots of Muddy Waters CDs, then I highly recommend this disc (along with a good compilation of his older stuff). I actually like Muddy's later stuff better and this CD really delivers. Quite a few gems in here. You won't be disappointed!.
All the Muddy Waters you need...
After that you may feel the need to go buy more good stuff from one of the biggest names in blues ever. At least until you listen to this CD. Muddy Waters was the blues, and this album offers a great compilation of his best work. Great settings, great jams, great musicians surrounds him. A great must-have CD for all blues lovers and players.

Pretty good collection of latter-day Muddy...
. . but now that his original Blue Sky albums (the ones produced by Johnny Winter) have been re-released in remastered and expanded editions, there is really no reason to buy this compilation.
It used to be the only available remastering of any of Muddy's late career work for Johnny Winter's Blue Sky label, and it blew the original LPs and CDs out of the water, but now that is no longer the case, and the three Blue Sky albums ("Hard Again", "I'm Ready" and "King Bee") are just too good to be condensed onto one CD with a less-than-perfectly chosen track list.
