Universal Music Catalogue will issue a new collection celebrating the work of the bluesman born McKinley Morganfield but known the world over as Muddy Waters.

Can't Be Satisfied: The Very Best of Muddy Waters 1948-1975 presents 40 classic tracks from across the singer/guitarist's tenure on the Chess label. Waters recorded for Chess for most of his life, after being discovered by Alan Lomax in the early 1940s for his Library of Congress-sanctioned sojourn to discover and record local country and blues musicians. From his birthplace of Mississippi, Waters relocated to Chicago, where, alongside Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin' Wolf and Willie Dixon (writer of many of Waters' most acclaimed recordings), he turned the Windy City into a hotbed of electric blues activity. Cuts like "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man," "Mannish Boy" and "I Got My Mojo Workin'" all had a profound effect on a new generation of musicians in both England and America, from The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix to Rory Gallagher and Johnny Winter (who produced several well-received albums for Waters on the Blue Sky label in the late '70s).

Featuring both studio highlights and excerpts from live performances including a seminal set at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival, Can't Be Satisfied also promises authoritative liner notes (the writer of which has not been announced) and never-before-published photos from the Chess Records archive. It's out on March 16 and can be preordered below!
