In 1978, Muddy Waters released one of his most essential works towards the end of his career. The album I'm Ready was produced by Johnny Winter and followed Hard Again, their first collaboration. It was immediately hailed as a blues classic.

The collaboration between Winters and Waters resulted in three albums, which blues fans describe as a unique combination that showcased Muddy Waters' rawness and years of experience to perfection. The impressive roster of featured artists included “Pine Top” Perkins on piano and Walter Horton on the harmonica, making it a dream late-career collaboration. I’m Ready won the Grammy Award for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording.
