Muddy Waters' Debut Album to be Reissued on Vinyl

Back in 2012, I discussed Muddy Waters' first actual album, which was a compilation of all his successful singles. The album was released in 1958 under the legendary label, Chess Records. This album contains his major hits from 1948 to 1954.

Walter Davis' Deep Blues Legacy

Walter Davis was a bluesman born in Mississippi, and made his way to St. Louis in the 1930's, and recorded many songs (about 150) for the Victor and Bluebird labels, and was a gifted pianist and singer.

His style was very mellow and somber, and while he died in 1963 (and effectively out of the music scene since 1952 because of a stroke) his legacy remains strong. Several songs became standards, and other bluesmen like Muddy Waters and Eddie Boyd covered his songs such as 13 Highway and Come Back Baby.

He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2005.

Here are a few of the tracks I was able to find on Youtube; hope you enjoy these down-home blues:

Blue Ghost Blues

Ashes in My Whiskey

Tears Came Rolling Down

Come Back Baby
