Muddy Waters must be considered one of the most infuential artists in music history. He virtually created the blues "band" format, which shaped the post-war Chicago blues sound and laid the cornerstone of rock and roll. Waters deftly transitioned from the cotton feld, Mississippi delta, acoustic blues, to the electric sound which has remained with us since. His music set an example for such celebrated artists as The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton.

This quintessential release presents two of his fnest and most celebrated albums: 'Muddy Waters At Newport 1960' and 'Muddy Waters Sings Big Bill', both originally released in 1960. These two masterpieces have been packaged together as a special collectors' edition, which also includes six bonus tracks.

Contained here is the cream of the crop from Muddy Waters' hitmaking stretch for Chess Records during his early years and featuring a virtual who's who of fabulous supporting musicians, including James Cotton, Otis Spann, Pat Hare, Andrew Stephenson, and Francis Clay, among others.

"Waters' music was the frst that got to me and it remains some of the most important music in my life today." - Eric Clapton
