This is one of the best entries in the series, a mixed bag of early Chess sides from 1949-1954, some of it hearkening back to Muddy's first recordings for Aristocrat with only Big Crawford on strings in support, with some wonderful full band sides rounding out the package to give everyone the big picture. A couple of highlights to pay special attention to are the cha cha\/shuffle strut of the band charging through \"Walkin' Through the Park\" and the \"I'm a Man\"-derived nastiness of \"Mannish Boy.\"” AllMusic Review by Cub Koda\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4.5 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.56 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59027739345231,"sku":"ACHE 39991","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Muddy_Waters_-_The_Real_Folk_Blues_1.webp?v=1794099550","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/products\/muddy-waters-the-real-folk-blues-mono","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
