Product Details

By 1967, Chess Records was experimenting with its roster in ways that didn't always sit well with purists, dressing Muddy Waters in brass arrangements that pointed toward soul and R&B rather than the South Side electric blues he'd helped define. Decades later, that tension is exactly what makes this record fascinating, a document of a giant adapting under label pressure while his voice alone carries every track.

The classic 1967 Chess album Muddy, Brass & The Blues, adds horns and prominent organ to Muddy Waters' basic band format. Waters' earlier work had been built around his returning to sounds and influences from his past. Here, the label tried to give him a new sound. Stripped of his guitar, Waters proves what a great R&B singer he was. Featuring Otis Spann on piano, and Sammy Lawhorn and Pee Wee Madison on guitar. This is the first official American LP re-issue in more than 30 years.
