Muddy Waters brought a Son House-like Delta country-blues style north with him from Mississippi to Chicago in 1943, intent on making a living from music. Switching from acoustic to electric guitar in order to be better heard in the Chicago clubs and bars, Waters gradually assembled one of the greatest ongoing bands in the history of blues, and in the process, Waters and his band assembled the very template for classic Chicago blues. Waters first cut a track for the Chess Brothers in 1947, who released it on their Aristocrat Records imprint, and for the next two decades or so, Waters turned out the basic iconic catalog of electric Chicago blues for various Chess imprints, and those singles, both A- and B-sides, are collected here in this four-disc, 98-track set. Waters was an astute bandleader, and musicians like Little Walter, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Willie Dixon, and Otis Spann all contributed heavily to these sides, which sit at the very heart of Chicago blues, and signal the very point where the blues became modern and urban. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

Chances are if you're reading this you're familiar with Waters' music, so listing any favorite tunes is a waste of time. Suffice to say there's very little (if any) filler, it's all killer music. As I said, the sound is very good--clean and open, allowing you to hear the various instruments behind Waters' sinewy, thick vocals. There's a few tracks where Waters' vocals sound as if they were recorded through a mic used to record a harmonica--relatively rough and distorted. The majority of his singles were released in the 1950's, with his first few sides from the 1940's , and his last eight singles released in the early 1960's. And even in the later years Waters was still killing it with his vocals and his great band. The power and vitality of these sides never lets up. It's one highlight after another. Waters' stunning vocals, and his dangerous sounding slide guitar is the real deal.

The musicians who made of his bands through the years read like a who's who of the blues: Sunnyland Slim, "Big" Crawford, Johnny Jones, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Junior Wells, Elgin Evans, Walter Horton, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Fred Below, Pat Hare, Hubert Sumlin, and a number of other great blues musicians all contributed to Waters' sound. (Stuart Jefferson)
