Anthology, The (1947-1972) - Muddy Waters

Advantages: Too many to list - see the review!
Disadvantages: Could cause the urge to spend money, lots of money!

...(There are so many versions of this recording that this is not a definitive list - the DVD audio includes more tracks for example. (I only suggest buying the remaster editions in whatever format, though)). Band members are as follows:- Muddy Waters Guitar, Vocals Milton Rector Bass Otis Spann Piano Pee Wee Madison Guitar J.T. Brown Clarinet & Tenor Sax Francis Clay Drums Clifton James Drums Sammy Lawhorn Guitar S.P.

Advantages: an experience for all
Disadvantages: nirvana disadvantages .... NEVER

...and with the amplifiers turned right up, you genuinly do feel like your there yourself. Im not an owner of many live efforts, as most of the bands that I like are yet to produce one. But as far as Muddy Banks goes its an experience that you need to behold, because you would be missing out on Kurt and Co. at their true best, and even if you don't particularly like Nirvana, you must appreciate one of the most influential bands at their greatest in a time when music actually was about the music, and not the image.

I personally would rate this right up there with Nevermind and In Utero, because it means as much to me personally as the studio albums, because it is the greatest songs in the best... Read review
