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

カスタマーレビュー

黄金のｼｶｺﾞ･ﾌﾞﾙｰｽ
ﾏﾃﾞｨ･ｳｫｰﾀｰｽﾞの'47年〜'55年という一番脂が乗っていた時期の録音集。これは、'97年にﾁｪｽ･ﾚｺｰﾄﾞ50周年記念で発売されたもの。今から10年前であるが音質的にはこれ以降のとさほど変わらない。国内盤の「ﾍﾞｽﾄ･ｵﾌﾞ･ﾏﾃﾞｨｰｳｫｰﾀｰｽﾞ」とほぼ同内容（曲順はこちらはｵﾘｼﾞﾅﾙLP順）であるが、国内盤はﾎﾞｰﾅｽ曲が追加されｵﾘｼﾞﾅﾙのｲﾒｰｼﾞが崩れちゃったし、続編の『'56〜'64』と2枚揃えればこっちの勝ち。『ANTHOLOGY』という2枚組み（輸入盤）もあるが、この『HIS BEST』2枚とはこれまた同内容。ｺﾝﾌﾟﾘｰﾄ･ｼﾘｰｽﾞの第1集は一般流通ながら廃盤。続編は通販専用と寂しい状態だが････。内容は文句のつけようがなく素晴らしい。'50年2月までの録音ではﾋﾞｯｸﾞ･ｸﾛﾌｫｰﾄﾞのﾍﾞｰｽのみだが、'50年10月からはﾘﾄﾙ･ｳｫﾙﾀｰのﾊｰﾌﾟがつき、'51年からﾘﾄﾙ･ｳｫﾙﾀｰのﾊｰﾌﾟもｱﾝﾌﾟﾘﾌｧｲﾄﾞされ、ｴﾚｸﾄﾘｯｸ･ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞ形式での録音となる。
