Doxy

Doxy is a Russian bootleg label that specializes in vinyl reissues. They have also launched the Dig-A-Log Series, which focuses on album reissues on vinyl and includes a bonus CD of the album. In addition, they have introduced a new line called ACV, using clear-native co-polymer for their vinyl process to reduce electrical distortion on records. Doxy's catalog includes CDs and boxsets.

American blues guitarist, singer and composer, Muddy Waters was born on April 4, 1913 in Rolling Fork, Mississippi. He is considered a founder of the modern Chicago Blues style and became the most prominent interpreter of the electric blues. His powerful influence inspired the emergence of electric blues-oriented groups in the UK during the '60s. Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, his legacy continues to shape and define blues music.
Muddy Waters was a father figure to many influential musicians including [a4092559], [a1965346], and [a10232473]. Sadly, one of his children passed away on December 10, 2020 at the age of 56.
Despite some discrepancies regarding his birth year and place, Muddy Waters' impact on music remains undeniable. His talent and contributions have solidified him as an iconic figure in American blues history.

Back In Stock

Once Chess discovered a white folk-blues audience ripe and ready to hear the real thing, they released a series of albums under the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/real-folk-blues-mw0000652172">Real Folk Blues</a> banner. This is one of the best entries in the series, a mixed bag of early Chess sides from 1949-1954, some of it hearkening back to <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/muddy-mn0000608701">Muddy</a>'s first recordings for Aristocrat with only Big Crawford on strings in support, with some wonderful full band sides rounding out the package to give everyone the big picture. A couple of highlights to pay special attention to are the cha cha/shuffle strut of the band charging through "Walkin' Through the Park" and the "I'm a Man"-derived nastiness of "Mannish Boy."
