                               Release Notes
                        ___________________________

There are scores of Muddy Waters compilations out there, and while it might 
be overreaching a bit to call this 24-track single-disc set definitive, it 
is still a mighty good selection, including as it does all of Waters' major 
singles from Chess Records and its Aristocrat Records imprint between 
the years 1948 and 1964 along with a single track from 1976's Hard Again, 
Waters' first actual LP, which was released on the Columbia subsidiary 
Blue Sky and produced by Johnny Winter. 

All that's really missing here in order to give this set a full sweep through 
Waters' career is a couple of tracks from the series of field recordings 
Alan Lomax did with Waters in 1941 and 1942 when Muddy was still known as 
McKinley Morganfield, with "I Be's Troubled" being the most likely candidate, 
since it was the song Muddy rewrote for his first single, 1948's brilliantly 
intimate "I Can't Be Satisfied," the song that kicks off this set. 

Other obvious highlights here include 1950's "Louisiana Blues," a chunk of 
swampy blues that was harmonica man Little Walter's debut recording with 
Waters, the spooky but bright "I'm Ready" (one wonders what Waters would 
think of this song being used for a Viagra commercial) from 1954, and 
the chugging original recording of "Got My Mojo Working" from 1957. 
"You Shook Me" from 1962 features a Waters vocal over a basic track 
recorded by Earl Hooker a year earlier, yet still manages to sound edgy 
and immediate. "My Home Is in the Delta," an acoustic outing from 1963 
featuring Buddy Guy, is a low-key and atmospheric masterpiece that could 
well serve as Waters' own concise autobiography. 

The Winter-produced cut from 1976, "Crosseyed Cat," sounds big and messy by 
comparison, and leaving it off this compilation would have made 1964's 
"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had," Waters' last hit for Chess, 
a much more fitting final track. 

In the end, Waters' considerable reputation rests with his Chess sides, 
and deservedly so, and since all of the essential ones are here, 
this makes a close to ideal introduction to one of the most important 
voices in blues history.
