Amazon.com essential recording

One of the best recordings in Chess Records' 50th Anniverary series is the first of two bookend Muddy Waters collections, His Best 1947-55. Documenting Waters's most creatively and commercially successful years at Aristocrat/Chess, this CD begins with his formative years and ends with Waters at his peak. So you're in for a lot of terrific bottleneck slide guitar work as well as electric Chicago blues. What's to criticize? Superb remasterings of "I Can't Be Satisfied," "Rollin' and Tumblin'," "I'm Ready," and "Mannish Boy" are simply beyond reproach. With simple bass accompaniment from Ernest "Big" Crawford, Waters's bottleneck tracks are spare, haunting and, quite frankly, perfect country blues. And listening to Waters, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, and Jimmy Rogers piece together (and perfect very quickly) the classic Chicago sound is pure blues epiphany. At the very least, this collection shows you why Waters's rollicking stop-time classics like "Mannish Boy" and "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" have sparked endless imitations over the years--and why nobody has played them better since. --Ken Hohman

5 out of 5 stars The foundation of hard rock is right here!.......2006-10-16

If it weren't for Muddy Waters, hard rock might look totally different...if it would have even come about. So many classic bands took inspiration from Muddy or covered his songs. Just look at the Rolling Stones (who took their name from one of his songs and covered "I Just Wanna Make Love to You"), the Allman Brothers ("Trouble No More"), Aerosmith (who covered two songs on their recent HONKIN' ON BOBO), Ted Nugent ("Baby Please Don't Go"), Eric Clapton ("I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man") and many others.

But, that statement ignores the quality of this music, which is great. The early tracks like "I Can't Be Satisfied" and "Rollin' and Tumblin' (Pt. 1)" are raw and intimate, just Muddy backed with acoustic guitar and stand-up bass. But the later electric tracks are even better. "I'm Ready," "Mannish Boy," "I Want You to Love Me," and more are stone cold blues classics. Muddy's backing band of the time included Willie Dixon and Little Walter and their great ensemble playing on these tracks contribute to their greatness.

This is a mandatory CD for fans of blues and rock. Get it now.

5 out of 5 stars "I gotta ax handle pistol/On a graveyard frame/That shoots tombstone bullets/Wearing balls and chain".......2006-07-24

Anyone besides me love this line? Anyway...
Though it's hard to say who invented rock, bluesmen can be given much credit for it. I really find it surprising that my friends who are, like me, rock fans aren't into the blues, since blues pretty much shaped rock.
Okay, onto the album itself. It's a damned good one, if you're a fan of the blues and this isn't in your collection, the Ghost of Muddy Waters will be coming for you, and he'll be pissed... especially if it's after a long night of him drinkin' T.N.T and smokin' dynamite. Believe me. You need classics like I Can't Be Satisfied, Rollin' and Tumblin', Rollin' Stone, Baby Please Don't Go, I Just Want to Make Love to You, Hoochie Coochie Man, I'm Ready, Mannish Boy and Trouble No More in your collection. And though some rock bands covered these songs excellently, Muddy's versions win out nine times of ten. Oh, and did I mention Willie Dixon plays bass on, and writes, most of these songs?

5 out of 5 stars There really isn't much to say........2006-03-30

I don't see how anyone could improve. In a talent competition he'd obliterate the competitors on his first note.

5 out of 5 stars Muddy Is The Man!!!.......2005-03-15

If you are a blues fan you have to have at least one Muddy Waters CD and this would be the one. "Mannish Boy" is probably my favorite. This is the first Muddy Waters song I ever heard although I had heard plenty of his songs done by other artists. It was used in a beer commercial (Budweiser I believe)back in the early '90's and I had to find out who it was. His version of the often recored "Baby Please Don't Go" is my favorite version of this song. This is an essential CD if you are just getting into blues. Also see Howling Wolf's "Rocking Chair album" and "Moaning at Midnight." And for Delta Blues, Robert Johnson's complete recordings since it is only two CDs and Son House's "Father of the Delta Blues."

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2004-11-15

Is there any better buy you could make? I mean, the cost of these songs comes out to about 69 cents a song. This was my first Muddy Waters CD as I wanted to get a taste of what he offered, and all I can say is that there is no going back now.

Often imitated but never duplicated, Muddy is the epitome of the blues. From I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man to Mannish boy, these are timeless classics which will never be improved.

This is most definitely a "desert island cd".....add it to your collection. If you don't buy the two "His Best" CD's: 1947-1955 and 1956-1964, I would highly recommend the Chess box set.

Again.....one word: "WOW"

          4 out of 5 stars Eye opening.......2007-01-24

          Most of this cd has stunning jump blues guitar, obviously influenced by T-Bone Walker, but with its own identidy a la Goree Carter, Gatemouth Brown, Pee Wee Crayton & others. Lewis manages to sound original & quirky. Fans of modern day west coast bluesers such as Junior Watson & Rick Holmstrom will love it. I give it 4 stars simply because the 2nd half of the cd features less of Lewis' guitar & focuses more on his '50s pop/R & B.
