As one of Chess Records’ first artists, Muddy Waters helped transplant the beating heart of the blues from the Mississippi delta to the south side of Chicago, armed with a ferocious electric guitar and a songbook of some of the most enduring blues standards ever written. The Best of Muddy Waters, first released in 1958, collects 12 of his best, including “Rollin’ Stone,” “I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man,” “I’m Ready,” “I Just Want to Make Love to You” and more.
