Happy Birthday Muddy Waters

I believe he would have been 94 today.

Although I own a Muddy Waters Telecaster
I do not have any of his albums. I really need
to correct this. So I ask you Muddy fans what
would be some of his albums that feature his
Tele the most?

Thanks,
chip

Happy Birthday Muddy.
He's the only person who's professional name is only slightly cooler then their real name.

Agreed. Muddy was the man. Though I am still looking for a recording that really showcases his playing. Often times, I cannot hear him play over his band.

Happy belated birthday (I didn't catch the date yesterday!) Muddy!

I wish you had been around a bit longer. But, only cause I'm greedy!

Hard Again may be one of my all time favorite albums! Johnny Winters kicks butt and James Cotton sounds fantastic on harmonica.

For Muddy's playing you'll have to go earlier though. By this time he was a singer and front man. Maybe at Newport 1960?

If you are refering to "Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live" I agree a hundred times over. The new expanded Legacy recording is outstanding and includes a second disc. I have a bunch of Muddy's recording but if I could only have one of his recordings, "Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live" is the one I'd choose easily.
