"I listened to this set over both lengths of a road trip from Philly to West Chester, NY and back. Amazing Survey of Muddy Waters' music before his LP era. It is amazing that someone could make so many memorable songs in a career! Perfect album for a long drive. Quintessential blues!"  Reply

"‘3’ is oddly enough album number 4 and is purely one for the VF aficionado’s I’d fully recommend skipping this one and going straight to 1991’s excellent ‘Why Do Birds Sing?’"  Reply
