The Holy Muddy Trinity

Countless compilations of Muddy Waters singles have been released and they're all fun (especially early sides). But, after you've heard first Muddy singles, it's time to dig a little bit deeper. Let me present the Holy Trinity of Muddy Waters LPs, three definitive and absolutely essential blues albums that I've listened to about a hundred times each ;-)


Without doubt, the finest Muddy's live album with his biggest hits and lesser-known songs. Classic sound and a great lineup, also worthy of note is wild audience full of screaming girls :)


On this LP Muddy covers songs by delta blues legend, songwriter, singer and guitar player, Big Bill Broonzy. "Feel So Good" and "Mopper's Blues" deserve Grammys. Or something.


Finally, this is late session, recorded for Chess in 1964. All-acoustic work with Buddy Guy on some kind of rhythm guitar. It is as good as that sounds!

Yeah.
