Amazon.co.uk Review
Muddy Waters should need no introduction. Not only did he provide a name for the world's greatest rock & roll band, but he also created the Chicago electric blues sound that's dominated the genre since he first hit the windy city in the late 1940s. His bands also featured what would become a who's who of electric blues: Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Otis Spann, James Cotton, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, and the list goes on. The Anthology covers Waters's most important period: his first years at Chess through the late 1960s. All his best-known songs are featured in their definitive versions, providing the perfect introduction to a blues master who doesn't need one. --Mike Johnson

The beginning September 2, 2008

This is truly a must-have for anyone interested in Muddy or the blues and why it took off in the way that it did. These awesome recordings give a great insight into what blues are and even seem strangley familiar after the years of listening to Clapton and the Rolling Stones, themselves having been influenced so strongly by Muddy. This is where it all really took off, with Muddy's slide playing ringing out so clearly above his emotion filled, thoughtful lyrics. Must-have!
Muddy - The 'benchmark' vocal and instrumental bluesman January 24, 2002

'The Anthology' truly captures the essence and amplifies the breadth of Muddy Waters' blues legacy. The excellent - but sensitive -reworking of what would now be viewed as primitive recordings makes this artist come alive again! It is hugely pleasing to identify phrasing and 'licks' that have appeared in the guitar works of his latterday devotees in the R&B genre. Sadly, few examples of his work are available widely and 'The Anthology' is the 'must have' record of Muddy's influential benchmark styles of vocal and instrumental virtuosity.
