This album contains a dozen of Muddy's most successful recording efforts. Little Walter's exciting harmonica is ubiquitously present. In addition to Hoochie Coochie Man is included Muddy's fastest mover, I Just Wanna Make Love to You. The popularity of this one is easy to spot. Aside from the musical excitement generated by Waters' voice, guitar and mouth-harp, the wistful-whimsical lyrics are attractive. In Louisiana Blues, Rollin' Stone and I Can't Be Satisfied, Muddy's guitar is especially strong. Note the train-like effect of the instrument in Louisiana; somebody's on the move. In Honey Bee, call-and-response is eloquently in evidence: his guitar responding to his vocal 'call'. Again, man's fate is prophesised in Rollin' Stone.
