Tracks list

This entry into MCAs 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 great early ones like Rollin and Tumblin, Train
Fare Blues, and I Feel Like Going Home. The one ringer that keeps this
collection from being a deluxe The Best of Muddy Waters is an alternate take of
Hoochie Coochie Man in place of the original issued master, a production error
of the highest order. Its a radically different-sounding one, too, with some
surprisingly sloppy unthought-out harp work from Little Walter (at one point he
simply stops playing), but with a far more intense vocal from Muddy than the
issued version. But it is the issued version that by rights should have been the
one heard here, as this is supposed to be a true best-of compilation. That
niggling point aside, this collection (part of a two-volume best-of
retrospective, the second covering the years 1956 to 1964) sports far superior
sound and excellent liner notes.
