Muddy Waters
Mister Kelly's
Chicago, IL
11-12 June 1971
* I'll get that '66 Fillmore show next.
Whoa! I'm gonna look for this to add to my Chess Box Set.Since you can't have too much Muddy, I would highly recommend
Muddy Waters- One More Mile
Chess Collectibles vol. 1
Two disc set
This is alternative takes and material that did not make the Chess Box set. Great selection. But what really makes this set special are the 11 tracks from 1972 recorded for a Switzerland radio broadcast. Muddy with Mojo Buford and Louis Meyers acoustic set. This could be released as a stand alone album. And I prefer it to Folk Singer.
A Muddy must have

Not a bad one-two punch. Or if you include Newport and the Winters era one, not a bad one-two-three-four punch.
Listening to them all together it's interesting to note the different band members he had over that period, and their styles.
Some of those bands were straight up badass. Literally. Pat Hare comes to mind.
My pleasure, I figured you'd dig it.Thanks for posting the vid Kris.
That's cool to learn. Thanks!Yes there is a Wolf Chess Collectible
Howlin' Wolf - Ain't Gonna Be Your Dog
Chess Collectible vol 2
Two disc set
This is alternate takes and songs not included in Wolf Chess Box. Disc one is primarily Memphis/Sun recordings with the great Willie Johnson on guitar and disc two is Chicago/Chess recordings with the great Hubert Sumlin. A great addition to any collection.
This also includes four acoustic songs of just Wolf and his guitar. You can hear him channel Charlie Patton.
Warning: one bad song on disc two. You will know it when you hear it
Probably?The Wolf collection is very solid as well. If you like Wolf then it would be a good addition. I only mention the one bad song because Chess has Wolf doing some 60's pop music. It doesn't work.
There was also a Chess Collectibles vol 3 for Little Walter "Blues with a Feeling" to supplement the two disc Essential Little Walter. I don't have that yet but it is probably in my future.
