Muddy Waters - I'm Ready

Limited edition of 1500 numbered copies on pink coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. In 1978, Muddy Waters released one of his most essential works towards the end of his career. Titled ""I'm Ready"", the album was produced by Johnny Winter and followed Hard Again, their first collaboration. It was immediately hailed as a blues classic. The collaboration between Winters and Waters resulted in three albums, which blues fans describe as a unique combination that showcased Muddy Waters' rawness and years of experience to perfection. The impressive roster of featured artists included ""Pine Top"" Perkins on piano and Walter Horton on the harmonica, making it a dream late-career collaboration. I'm Ready won the Grammy Award for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording.

This album is more than just a collection of Muddy Waters' finest cuts from his years at Chess Records - it's a time capsule of an era when the blues was the beating heart of Chicago, and Muddy was it's pulse. When you drop the needle on this record, you're not just listening to music; you're tracing the bloodline of rock, soul, and practically every genre that followed. Muddy's DNA runs deep in modern sound, and these tracks? They're the blueprint. Whether they know it or not, every rocker who's ever bent a note owes a debt to McKinley Morganfield, the man we know as Muddy Waters.
