These 22 tracks give us just under 62 minutes of blues that cannot be missed. The music it’s simple, straight forward glorious. Interspersed along with the music are interview tracks. One gem is Muddy being asked; is [Son] House a better player than [Robert] Johnson: Muddy answers, I think they’re both about equal. Just listening to Muddy and his interviewer here is like being a fly on the wall; at once excited, scared of being discovered, and at the same time waiting for more. 

As a listening experience, these recordings will touch your soul. As a documentation of Muddy’s’ brilliant early playing, it is priceless. A copy of this album should be in every blues devotee’s collection, and should be experienced frequently. If you don’t have it, get it, without delay.
