The Complete Plantation Recordings, subtitled The Historic 1941-42 Library of Congress Field Recordings, is a compilation album of the blues musician Muddy Waters' first recordings collected by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1941-42 and released by the Chess label in 1993.[1] Lomax recorded Waters at Stovall Farm in Clarksdale, Mississippi in 1941 and returned the following year to make additional recordings.[2] Thirteen tracks were originally released as Down on Stovall’s Plantation in 1966 on Testament Records.[3][4]
Reception
The album was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001 as a Classic of Blues Recording.[7]
The AllMusic reviewer Cub Koda wrote, "At long last, Muddy's historic 1941-1942 Library of Congress field recordings are all collected in one place, with the best fidelity that's been heard thus far.
