I loved the "Proper Introduction to Muddy Waters" but this is even better. Four disks worth from the 1941 recordings through "Trouble No More" in excellent sound. Best takes, too. It's basically like the Chess anniversary set (1947-52) that came out a few years ago, only now including the great recordings from 1953-55. Discs 3 and 4 are just one masterpiece after the next, right up there with Armstrong or Monroe or name-your-greatest 20th century set. The songs you haven't heard are as good as the more typically anthologized. And it's cheap!

just click 'buy it now' you won't be disappointed!!! an afternoons worth of the best blues music money can buy...quickly rose to the top of my playlist...great mastering, selection of material & el cheapo price...can't be beat period. (i also bought the new woody guthrie properbox 'some folk' & it's every bit as good) it's stuff like this that simply defines the two great idioms of folk 'n blues music & makes life better!

If you're a fan of Muddy's muic then this box set is a must . A truly great selection of songs , great sound and a very nice booklet . Best of all is the price. Where can you get a packed 4 cd box set for so little ?
