Muddy Waters: They Call Me Muddy Waters auf 2 CDs

Few Blues artists exerted greater influence on the development of electric Blues and modern popular music than MUDDY WATERS. Disc 1 contains all the hits produced by LEONARD and PHIL CHESS and/ or WILLIE DIXON, in Chicago, between 1947 and 1955. Disc 2 features a live concert, recorded in Warsaw, Poland, at the INTERNATIONAL FOLK MUSIC Festival & JAZZ JAMBOREE on October 22, 1976. The concert was recorded just prior to MUDDY WATERS hooking up with JOHNNY WINTER, and it features most of the line-up later enlisted by WINTER for HARD AGAIN, the album that resuscitated MUDDY's recording career. The band consists of BOB MARGOLIN, PINETOP PERKINS, and WILLIE SMITH along with guitarist LUTHER 'GUITAR JUNIOR' JOHNSON, harpist JERRY PORTNOY, and bassist CALVIN JONES. 80 minutes of blistering Blues.
