The Anthology: 1947-1972

The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ...

The Chess Box

The Chess Box (1990) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

The Chess Box does not contain all the great music Muddy Waters made. His talent and legacy are too large to be captured in a mere three discs, even one that spans from 1947 to 1972. This means, of course, that his legendary plantation recordings with Alan Lomax are not here, nor is his dynamic late-'70s comeback, Hard Again. But, truth be told, ...

Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters

Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters (1993) more music like this

by Paul Rodgers

Paul Rodgers' tribute to Muddy Waters is not a return to Waters' electric Chicago blues, but a continuation of the blues-rock of Rodgers' old bands, Free and Bad Company. Taken on those terms, Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters works only when Rodgers is matched with a good blues-rock guitarist. Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, and Gary Moore all ...

Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions

Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions (2001) more music like this

by James Blood Ulmer

Over three days in April 2001, James "Blood" Ulmer and producer/guitarist Vernon Reid (yes, of Living Colour fame) went into the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis and kicked out some of the greasiest, knottiest, most surreal blues music ever. The blues have always been part of Ulmer's iconography, even when deeply entrenched in the harmolodic ...

by Muddy Waters

This entry into MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary Collection now officially takes the place of The Best of Muddy Waters as an essential first purchase in building a Muddy Waters collection. All 12 songs that comprise the budget-priced The Best of Muddy Waters are aboard, with eight more essential goodies from his first period of creativity, including ...

Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Muddy Waters

Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Muddy Waters (2003) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

As part of the compilation series issued in conjunction with the major television series documentary The Blues, this is a collection of 16 of Waters' more notable performances. Though they span his entire career, actually all but three of them are taken from his prime years for Chess Records between the late '40s and mid-'60s. The two-disc The ...

Best of Muddy Waters: 20th Century Masters (1999) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around...well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line ...

The Blues, Vol. 1 [Chess/MCA]

The Blues, Vol. 1 [Chess/MCA] (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Even though Chess should be releasing collections with more than just over 30 minutes of music on them, this thin blues roundup from the legendary Chicago label's vaults still works well enough as a sampler of vintage electric blues. Recorded between 1952 and 1960, the 12 tracks spotlight such legends as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, ...

Blues Masters, Vol. 2: Postwar Chicago Blues (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Excellent 18 track compendium of all the major movers and shakers who helped shape the Chicago blues scene in the 50s. Everyone is well represented here, and major stars like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stand next to behind-the-scenes geniuses like Earl Hooker and Jody Williams for an interesting, and accurate, blend.

Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

While Chess Records' legacy as a dominating and shaping force on rock & roll is well chronicled, you don't really get the full range of it until you're ultimately confronted with the music itself. This two-disc, 36-track compilation drives that point home with an almost numbing intensity. Whether they're blues tunes that have been covered so many ...

Decades Live (2003) more music like this

by Foghat

While the album's title is deceiving -- all but five of the 18 tracks on this double disc originate from the '90s, and 11 of those are from the same show -- this is an adequate, well-recorded document of both the original and re-formed versions of Foghat running through their established repertoire. It also works as a tribute to Lonesome Dave ...

King Size (1977) more music like this

by B.B. King

The '70s and '80s may be scattered with routine B.B. King albums, but rumors to the contrary, this is not one of them. Despite the occasional pop string and/or brass backings and mostly relaxed vocal delivery by King, the Memphis and L.A. studio bands kick hard -- aided and abetted by some conga players -- and the material is often superior. The ...

A.K.A. McKinley Morganfield (1971) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

The real title of this was actually A.K.A. Muddy Waters, with the name McKinley Morganfield in the bigger typeface reserved for the artist's name. Of course, this created confusion in some quarters, with the result that consumers were sometimes unable to find this set in the Muddy Waters bin. And of course they would be looking for it, since at ...

Soul [UK Box Set] (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Over the course of three discs, this Spectrum box set appears to define soul music as nearly any performance of the last half of the 20th century that features emotion -- "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown deserving entry just as much as "Do That to Me One More Time" by Captain & Tennille. Very few will agree with the scope, but as ...

The Vol. 2 designation of this limited-edition double CD may confuse some people, who might reasonably wonder where "Vol. 1" is. Actually, "Vol. 1" was Rollin' Stone: The Golden Anniversary Collection, which came out as a regular retail release in stores and covered Muddy Waters' complete recorded output from 1947 through September of 1952. ...
