50's Soul Music
Some of the sounds bring back memories of listening to the radio during the 50's and 60's or listening to our parents talk about music with their friends or remembering them having friends over for card parties and dancing. Music that bring back history lessons from conversations over heard by our parents.
(50's Soul Music).


Must Have
Great price and arrived soon after ordering. This is a must have for any blues fan. Very happy with this purchase.


review

the product and seller are outstanding but amazon's review set up
is a borish time waster!!!! . this new way of reviewing is very time cunsuming and irritating.


Not quite definitive, but some great, great music here


Opening with the classic 1948 single "I Can't Be Satisfied", this CD takes you through (most of) the highlights from the 1950s and 60s. There is a huge amount of Muddy Waters-compilations out there, and while MCA/Chess's two-disc, 50-track "Anthology 1947-1972" is certainly more definitive than this Geffen compilation, it does offer a very good overview of Muddy Waters' career. "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I'm Ready", "I Just Wanna Make Love To You", "Mannish Boy", and "Got My Mojo Working" are here, of course, and in the original versions, too, but it's a shame that some slightly lesser known (but equally fine) singles like "I Love The Life I Live, I Live The Life I Love", "She's Nineteen Years Old" and "I Want To Be Loved" are missing.

But there is certainly enough great music here to satisfy the casual fan, and if you do want more, there is always the impressive "Chess Box" and the late-70s/early-80s albums produced by Johnny Winter (only one track out of these 24 is from those sessions).
This album is not the definitive word on McKinley Morganfield, but it's a good introduction for the uninitiated.


Excellent Highlights
I saw a TV biography and was motivated to get a "greatest hits" CD. I do not pretend to be an expert on Muddy Waters. There was a 2 disc option at Amazon, but then I saw this one. I checked it out with various reviewers, and it met the bill. All the songs are well done, and the whole CD seems like a great overview of the blues from this specific artist. From all I can tell, this would be an excellent highlight collection for anybody who wants just one CD of Muddy Waters.
