Muddy Waters—The Essential Collection
Muddy Waters
What can you say about Muddy Waters other than the man helped to define the blues genre? Of course the blues existed before Muddy Waters, but with his gritty voice and singing guitar he somehow helped to make it okay for everyone to love the blues. This collection from Spectrum Music has 20 of the must-have songs from Waters. Beginning with “Got My Mojo Working” and continuing with “Louisiana Blues” and “Rollin’ Stone” and ending with “Garbage Man” and “Can’t Get No Grindin’,” this collection is perfect for anyone who needs a quick fix of some classic blues from the most classic of blues artists. I also recommend it for those who are just being introduced to the blues genre and aren’t familiar yet with Muddy Waters. This CD is a great way to get some of Waters’ best songs in one package. All I can say is that the man was too cool for words and this CD has been on my playlist since I brought it home.
