Muddy Waters was an American blues artist widely considered to be one of the most important figures in post–World War II Chicago blues.[1] As with most postwar blues musicians, his recordings were released as two-song singles until the 1960s, when his record company began focusing on long-playing albums.[2][3] As a result, his most celebrated recordings from early in his career are issued on various collections and anthologies, often with significant overlap and duplication.[4] Included here are the singles and albums released during Waters's lifetime and the more notable and current live and compilation albums.[5]
