Muddy Waters – Muddy, Brass And The Blues LP (Chess 75 Series)

Muddy Waters – Muddy, Brass And The Blues

Muddy, Brass & the Blues marks a turning point in Muddy Waters' career. Despite the cover depicting Waters with a guitar, it is his talents as an R&B singer that shine through on this record. He explores a new sound that pairs the classic elements of the blues with brass. The result is a striking take on the blues that feels fresh and daring. Key tracks include "Corine, Corina," "Black Night," and "Sweet Little Angel".
