Muddy Waters

He ranks high on the legend scale: Muddy Waters. Next to Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and B. B. King, no one has shaped the blues and thus rock music as much. Without him, it is questionable whether the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin and many other bands would have existed to the extent they did! "Can't Be Satisfied" now pays tribute to his career on 2CDs. The selection starts in 1947, with songs like "Gypsy Woman" and spans the following three decades. During this time Muddy founded the Chicago Blues - with songs like "You Shook Me" and "I'm ready" - , experimented with psychedelic elements, as can be heard in the controversial album "Electric Mud", and collaborated with countless musicians like Rory Gallagher and Steve Winwood With a terrific tracklist and an extensive booklet, "Can't Be Satisfied" is a recommendation for all fans of Muddy Waters, the blues and blues newcomers.
