"My main point in writing this review was to say that this album should not be listed under Dizzy Gillespie. Dizzy is on one song, and plays a few notes on another. If you want Muddy Waters, this is a good album, and certainly worth the money. If you want a Dizzy Gillespie album, you've come to the wrong place."
Great songs, Great recording, Great price!

"Laserlight Digital is a trademark of Delta Entertainment. Delta enters into licensing arrangements with various blues, classica, pop, holiday and world music catalogs and is the premier budget-priced label known for releasing compilations.While the songs on this CD are available on several other Muddy Water's discs there are a couple of things that make this disc attrative. First, the inclusion of the two numbers which include the performance of Dizzy Gillespie, "Kansas City" and "How Long" is a very nice touch. Secondly, the digital remastering job is exceptional. Last but not least, while all of these songs are available elsewhere, buying them on this disc certainly can't be beat."

"The energy on this cd is outstanding. The real disapointment however is the sound quality. There is a guitar that is very low in the mix, and it is a strain trying to hear it, which is a shame. The songs are all great one after the other,oh only if it had better sound.I would rate this 5 stars if the mix was better, because the music is first rate all the way."
6 Bucks---Are you kidding me?

"If you don't own this album, you don't know what you are missing. A compilation of two nights early in Muddy's career, the song list is incredible. The addition of Dizzy, although for only a few songs is legendary. Any time two legends get together you know magic will happen. Buy this disc and enjoy some real music!"
