4.0 out of 5 stars Good collection of early Muddy, but...., August 14, 2004

This review is from: Feel Like Going Home (Audio CD)

...but, well, the Complete Blues label, which issues this new series of digipacks featuring artists like Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Leroy Carr and many more, is taking advantage of certain European copyright laws, so the morality of buying from them is dubious. The Muddy Waters CDs from MCA-Universal (the successor to the Chess label) generate royalties to Muddy's family, and also tend to be more coherent thematically, so I'd go for one of their excellent Muddy-compilations instead.

Anyway...this is a collection of Muddy Waters' earliest sides, a couple of them non-commercial recordings made at Stovall's Plantation in the early 1940's. There are some genuine classics here, like "Gypsy Woman", "I Can't Be Satisfied", "Train Fare Home", and "Rollin' Stone", and the mastering is generally excellent.
Yadayadayada. I still think you should buy the MCA/Chess-albums.
