The Best of Muddy Waters (1958)
A face half-swallowed by black, lit like a candle in a dark room: Muddy Waters in profile, eyes closed, on the cover that helped Chess Records carry Chicago blues into the LP era. It was the label's third album ever and its first pure blues record, aimed at an audience that had never bought a blues 78.
