"Muddy Waters was one of the most important figures in post-war blues, influencing some of the most significant rock musicians of his era. He was one of the most prominent, in a relatively small coterie of performers, who effectively invented and defined the approach to amplified guitar-based blues, in the hotbed of the genre, Chicago, and much of what has happened since then reflects Muddy's rich legacy. This 14-track collection, featuring such instantly recognizable numbers as 'I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man', 'Got My Mojo Working' and 'I'm Ready', offers an entertaining overview of his recordings aimed at the commercial market, especially in the context of an R&B scene which was changing rapidly during a decade and a half of musical evolution and revolution. A delightful celebration of his unique style which became the template for every electric blues performer."

"A 1971 performance from Muddy Waters from one of the most important singer-songwriter/guitarists of the post-modern blues era. Rock and roll hall of fame inductee Muddy Waters is one of the most important singer-songwriter/guitarists of the post-modern blues era. His early 1960s touring of the UK inspired many British musicians including the Rolling Stones that took their name from his classic song, 'Rollin' Stone'. Over the '60s into the early 1970s Waters became an international force performing on various bills and artist pairings on club, concert hall and festival stages. This eight-song never before released set was recorded at the legendary Ash Grove club in Los Angeles over the Blue Summit weekend (with Freddie King and Lightnin' Hopkins) over July 27-August 1, 1971. The show was recorded not long before his infamous London sessions recordings. That album was one of his six Grammy winning Traditional Folk recordings throughout the '70s."

"Muddy Waters had a good sense for talent and accordingly almost always an excellent band behind him, but his backing band from 1974 to 1980, which can be heard on these recordings, was one of his very best: The pianist Pinetop Perkins joined the band already in 1970 after the death of Otis Spann, with the drummer Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith Muddy even worked together since 1964. The bassist Calvin Jones joined in 1971, and in 1973 the two guitarists Luther 'Guitar Jr.' Johnson and Bob Margolin came into the band. The band was rounded out in 1974 by the excellent harmonica player Jerry Portnoy, who later became, among other things, the first blues harp choice for Eric Clapton. Permanent touring made this line-up a top-rehearsed band, which optimally supported the charismatic leader when they entered the stage of Dortmund's Westfalenhalle for the Rockpalast recording on December 10, 1978. Muddy Waters himself was still at the height of his career at this time, his powerful vocals and great stage charisma captivating the audience. Muddy's guitar playing came into its own especially during his typical slow blues slide guitar solos on the Fender Telecaster electric guitar played in normal tuning - and rarely did Muddy have such a hot sound as on these WDR television recordings. The evening's song selection consisted of some of his greatest hits, which probably belonged to the mandatory repertoire every evening ('Hoochie Coochie Man', 'Walkin' Thru The Park', a terrific version of the macho anthem 'Mannish Boy' and of course the immortal 'Got My Mojo Workin''), but also more rarely played tunes like 'Soon Forgotten' by St. Louis Jimmy Oden or 'Country Boy', both atmospheric slow blues with slide."

2021 repress. "As a continuing collaboration with Chess Records/Universal Records and the estate of Muddy Waters, Third Man Records is proud to announce the reissue of Muddy Waters' fifth studio album Electric Mud. Electric Mud, which Chess originally released in 1968 has not seen a legitimate domestic vinyl release since 2002, despite its enormous influence on generations of blues rockers. It features members of Rotary Connection as Muddy's backing band and was very controversial upon its release for its fusion of electric blues with psychedelic elements. The album is now recognized as a forward-thinking classic, sampled extensively by artists like The Black Keys and Gorillaz. The album will be available on black vinyl pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit, with a beautiful gatefold jacket in its original black-on-white color scheme, and a four-panel foldout poster."

Wax Love presents a reissue of Muddy Waters' Folk Singer, originally released in 1964. At the peak of the folk revival, Muddy Waters entered the studio to record an all-acoustic set. Known for his distinctive electric blues style, this recording was definitely a departure for Waters, but the results are historically great. A beautiful album from start to finish, Folk Singer features the great Buddy Guy on guitar, and Willie Dixon on bass (he also produced the album); this has come to be known as one of Waters' best albums. A great piece of acoustic blues from one of the legends of the genre.

"Muddy Waters had a great ear for talent and accordingly the formation which you will hear on this DVD was one of the very best: The pianist Pinetop, the drummer Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith, the bass player Calvin Jones, the two guitarists Luther 'Guitar Jr.' Johnson and Bob Margolin and the harmonica player Jerry Portnoy. At the Rockpalast recording on December 10, 1978 at Westfalenhalle Dortmund Muddy Waters still was at the height of his creative power, his mighty vocals and his splendid charisma on stage fascinated the audience. Muddy's guitar playing on the Fender Telecaster especially comes into full effect with his typical slow blues solos -- and seldom had Muddy such a hot sound as in this TV recording of the WDR. The song selection of the evening consisted of several of his biggest hits which probably are standard discipline of each evening ('Hoochie Coochie Man', 'Walkin' Thru The Park', a superb version of the macho hymn 'Mannish Boy' and, of course, the immortal 'Got My Mojo Workin''), but also less performed titles like 'Soon Forgotten' by St. Louis Jimmy Oden or 'Country Boy', both atmospheric slow blues with slide. When the Muddy Waters Tribute Band appeared at the Rockpalast Open-Air at the Loreley on June 23, 1996 (bonus content on the second DVD), the pianist Pinetop Perkins could unfortunately not travel due to medical reasons and Jerry Portnoy was replaced by blues harper Carey Bell who had already played in Muddy's band in early 1970. All band members switch with the vocals and in 'Gone To Main Street' The Band's Levon Helm is to be heard as a guest singer. Naturally, the repertoire consists mainly of Muddy Waters classics but also songs of Jimmy Reed, two titles that have become known through Albert King and one original composition of the drummer Willie Smith were on the set list."

"Starting his career in his native Mississippi, Muddy Waters played country blues on acoustic guitar. He was recorded by Alan Lomax in '41 and again in '42, an experience that some say led Waters to more diligently pursue a career as a full time professional musician. In 1943 he relocated to Chicago, where Big Bill Broonzy helped establish Waters with opening slots on his shows in some of the city's most rowdy clubs. The sheer noise level of the rambunctious audiences in these venues gave Muddy's uncle, Joe Buck, an idea. In 1945 Buck presented Muddy Waters with his first electric guitar in an effort to allow Waters to be heard above the crowd. But with more than sheer volume, Waters was now taking the blues in a new and exciting direction. Waters' first greatest hits collection was pulled together by Chess as The Best of Muddy Waters in 1957, designed to appeal to American blues fans of the era. By the late 1960s it was clear that Waters had also had such a heavy influence on the younger rock performers (and audiences) of the day that Chess pulled together a resequenced version of that material called Sail On. All the best of Waters' Chess sides are included with the end result being a collection of material that's the perfect starting point for discovering one of the most consequential blues artists that's ever been."

"Muddy Waters' 1971 retrospective album A.K.A. McKinley Morganfield caused some confusion during its initial release. The album's original title was A.K.A. Muddy Waters, but the final printing featured the Chicago blues legend's birth name in a larger typeface than his stage moniker, leading it to frequently be mis-shelved in record stores, much to the chagrin of his fans. Title confusion aside, A.K.A McKinley Morganfield remained in high demand among blues enthusiasts during its release. At the time it was the most complete and paramount collection of Waters' material from 1948 to 1960, his works that directly inspired the British blues explosion of the 1960s. His evolution and development from a traditional Delta blues sound to the refined full band sound that came to define him can be heard throughout the album's 24 tracks. From early versions of Muddy Waters signature songs such as 'Rollin' and Tumblin',' 'I'm Ready,' and 'Got My Mojo Working,' to covers of standards by the likes of Willie Dixon and Robert Johnson, Chess Records left no stone unturned in assembling A.K.A. McKinley Morganfield. The end result was a potent collection of Waters' finest early material, which up to that point had only seen release as scattered singles, and a perfect profile of the first half of the career of blues royalty."

"By the time Muddy Waters reached the 1970s, it seemed as though the fuzzed-out blend of Chicago blues he pioneered, and the electric British blues he inspired, had surpassed him. The 1970s would see the release of his final albums with Chess Records, and would prove that Waters hadn't lost step in spite of his age. Fresh off his acclaimed London Sessions, (Which saw the Mississippi native work alongside Steve Winwood of Traffic and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience) 1973 brought Can't Get No Grindin' which was a welcome return to the rugged, slide-guitar blues that originally defined the bluesman, after experimenting with psychedelia, brass blow-outs, and other forays. Can't Get No Grindin' is a classic showcase of Waters' raw power as a musician, and is every bit as sharp and edgy as the primal blues he became famous for in the 1950s. Whether remakes of classics like 'Mother's Bad Luck Child,' newer compositions such as 'Love Weapon' or the often-covered 'Garbage Man,' or instrumental jams like 'After Hours,' Waters dominates each track without resorting to electronic studio gimmickry or celebrity guest appearances."

"'Unk' In Funk, Muddy Waters' 1974 release, saw the Chicago bluesman further building on the electric blues of albums like Electric Mud (1968) and After The Rain (1969). It would be one of the last collections of original material that Waters would record with Chess Records, after a nearly 30-year association with the label. The record included a core line up of famed blues players who would remain Waters' backing band for the duration of his career, featuring Pinetop Perkins on piano, (Earl Hooker) Luther Johnson (The Nighthawks) and Bob Margolin on guitar, Calvin 'Fuzz' Jones on bass, (The Legendary Blues Band) and Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith on drums, (Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker) with additional guest appearances by George Buford, Paul Oscher (Louisiana Red), and Carey Bell (Willie Dixon) on harmonica. Even at the age of 61, Waters sounds at the top of his game on 'Unk' In Funk. His booming, powerful blues vocals dominate the album's fuzzy, electric orchestration. Overhauled versions of Waters classics like 'Rollin' and Tumblin'' and 'Just To Be With You' sound fresh as ever, and newer tracks like 'Katie' and 'Waterboy, Waterboy' are classic and organic additions to Waters' discography. Overlooked and underrated in its time, 'Unk' In Funk is a pinnacle album from Waters' catalog."

"Muddy Waters' historic first recordings. In 1941, long before becoming the 'father of Chicago blues,' Muddy Waters was just another country blues man running a juke joint in Mississippi when he was recorded by Alan Lomax on one of his legendary field recording trips of the south for the Library of Congress. In fact, it was not until after he heard himself on these recordings (featuring also Henry Sims on violin, Louis Ford on mandolin and Percy Thomas on guitar) that Muddy had the confidence to move to Chicago and try his luck at becoming a full-time blues musician. In 1948 Muddy had his first breakthrough hit at Chess Records with 'I Can't Be Satisfied.'" Comes on 180 gram vinyl.

2022 restock. "The second of two electric-blues albums released on Chess Records and Cadet Concept imprint in the late '60s, Muddy Waters' After the Rain has achieved cult-like status amongst blues fans in the years since his death in 1983. After taking a backlash from critics with first attempt at adopting psychedelic influences on Electric Mud, Muddy made adjustments for the follow-up, despite keeping a majority of the same session players. This time, he toned down the psychedelic elements and put them in balance with his classic Chicago blues sound, and the results yield some vintage tracks that glow with fuzzy guitars and bass: 'I Am the Blues,' 'Ramblin' Mind,' 'Bottom of the Sea,' and 'Blues Trouble.' After being out of print for years, Get On Down is proud to present this rare classic from Muddy Waters pulled from the original masters and presented on LP with Japanese-style OBI and double-sided poster."
