The best of the Chicago Electric Blues!

Pretty good collection of latter-day Muddy...

"...but now that his original Blue Sky albums (the ones produced by Johnny Winter) have been re-released in remastered and expanded editions, there is really no reason to buy this compilation. It used to be the only available remastering of any of Muddy's late career work for Johnny Winter's Blue Sky label, and it blew the original LPs and CDs out of the water, but now that is no longer the case, and the three Blue Sky albums ("Hard Again", "I'm Ready" and "King Bee") are just too good to be condensed onto one CD with a less-than-perfectly chosen track list."

Good stuff

"Buy this cd, then make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy because when you play this something is likely to catch on fire! Smoke will be coming out of your stereo! "She's Nineteen Years Old" is a killer track...everything on here is great. Even though this is from later in Muddy's career, don't be fooled - the guy still knew how to throw down some damn good blues."
