Description

• YOUNG FASHIONED WAYS • MANISH BOY • ALL ABOARD • FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS •

MUDDY WATERS (B. McKINLEY MORGANFIELD) WAS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT
ARTIST TO EMERGE IN POST-WAR AMERICAN BLUES. A PEERLESS SINGER, A GIFTED
SONGWRITER, AN ABLE GUITARIST, AND LEADER OF ONE OF THE STRONGEST BANDS
IN THE GENRE (WHICH BECAME A PROVING GROUND FOR A NUMBER OF MUSICIANS
WHO WOULD BECOME LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT) , WATERS ABSORBED THE
INFLUENCES OF RURAL BLUES FROM THE DEEP SOUTH AND MOVED THEM UPTOWN,
INJECTING HIS MUSIC WITH A FIERCE, ELECTRIC ENERGY AND HELPING PIONEER THE
CHICAGO BLUES STYLE THAT WOULD COME TO DOMINATE THE MUSIC THROUGH THE
1950s, ’60s, AND ’70s. THIS ORIGINAL 1956 UK PRESSING IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF
CHICAGO BLUES FEATURING MUDDY WATERS ACCOMPAINED BY LITTLE WALTER,
JUNIOR WELLS, WILLIE DIXON, PAT HARE, FRED BELOW AND OTIS SPANN ! LOVELY
AND GLOSSY COVER WHILE THE DISC WITH TRI-CENTRE AND GOLD PRINT SPARKLES
SHINE AND APPEARS VERY LITTLE PLAYED...
