Hey there

Last night I've been playing a lot of Stones' early boots, enjoying the blues covers they used to do and stuff.

And this song came through my speakers - "I Can't Be Satisfied".

Since I'm far from being a blues connoisseur, I thought it's about time to dig some original versions of these songs and pick me up a few good CDs.

The thing is... I'm having a hard time searching through amazon for a nice Willie Dixon anthology featuring this song!

Any blues expert in the house could point me out to the right CDs to go for? ... As a said, I'm still not that much into the genre so I'm not much interested in huge multi-disc boxed sets and stuff, but your average hits compilation or more basic stuff.

Thanks in advance!

It's a Muddy waters track from 1948 ..... Can be found on any decent Muddy comp

Christ!

This is embarrassing! ... I've been thinking all my life it was a Dixon song!

See? ... I told you I was a blues ignorant. It's about time to go back to school and learn stuff like this and get me some music.

Thank you, Rockman!

Aw yeah if ya wanna go back a bit further then check Muddy's
early take of it called I Be's Troubled from his first recordings
for Alan Lomax - Stovall Plantation August 1941 .....

Muddy Waters --- The Complete Plantation Recordings
The Historic 1941-1942 Libary Of Congress Recordings
Chess MCA - CHD 9344

There's also a nice version (with Johnny Winter on slide) on "Hard Again", the first of Muddy's "comeback" - i.e., post Chess - classic albums.

Just ordered this one:


It was quite cheap and featuring 50 songs covering (I believe) most of his career. Seemed a good choice at least for starters, wouldn't you say?
