The late 1940s–mid-1950s record releases by Aristocrat Records and Chess Records sometimes used "Muddy Waters and His Guitar" as well as Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters's first 78 rpm record in 1941 listed him using his birth name, McKinley Morganfield. The double disc The Anthology: 1947–1972 (2001) is ranked at number 483 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2020 list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". After Waters's death in 1983, a large number of compilation and live albums have been issued by various record companies, often with significant overlap and duplication. As a sideman, Waters also contributed to recordings by Little Walter, Junior Wells, Otis Spann, and others.

Produced by blues rock singer and guitarist Johnny Winter, Hard Again (1975), I'm Ready (1977), and Muddy "Mississippi" Waters – Live (1978) won Grammy Awards for "Best Ethnic or Traditional Recordings". Īfter Chess went out of business in 1975, Waters recorded several successful albums for Blue Sky. Among the many albums the label released are the influential early compilation The Best of Muddy Waters (1958) and the live At Newport 1960. From 1950 to 1958, Chess issued 15 singles that reached the top 10 of Billboard magazine's R&B chart. In 1950, Chess bought out his label partners and formed Chess Records. After moving to Chicago, he recorded for Leonard Chess and Aristocrat issued Waters's first single in 1947. Two songs were released on a 78 rpm record, "Country Blues" and "I Be's Troubled". While he was living in Mississippi, Waters was recorded by Alan Lomax in 1941 for a U.S. During his recording career from 1941 to 1981, he recorded primarily for two record companies, Aristocrat/ Chess and Blue Sky they issued 62 singles and 13 studio albums (as with most postwar blues musicians, his recordings were released as two-song singles until the 1960s, when the focus shifted to long-playing albums). He popularized several early Delta blues songs, such as " Rollin' and Tumblin'", Walkin' Blues", and " Baby, Please Don't Go", and recorded songs that went on to become blues standards, including " Hoochie Coochie Man", " Mannish Boy", and " Got My Mojo Working". Muddy Waters (1913–1983) was an American blues artist widely considered to be one of the most important figures in post–World War II Chicago blues.
