Amazon.com

With this surprise two-CD package of rarities and outtakes, the formidable Waters legacy is significantly enhanced yet again. No random collection, the first 30 tracks of this essential set chart Muddy's steady professional and artistic growth at Chess Records. Beginning with early tracks featuring just Waters and bassist Big Crawford, the great bluesman is followed through changing personnel and sounds as his groundbreaking vision is refined. Among the previously unreleased gems on "One More Mile" are 11 tracks from a 1972 Radio Lausanne broadcast featuring Muddy with Louis Myers on acoustic second guitar and Mojo Buford on harp. Covering classics like "Feel Like Goin' Home," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Rock Me," and "Hoochie Coochie Man," Muddy's virtuosic display at this late stage in life provides the rarest of musical pleasures. --Alan Greenberg

Rounding Out Your Muddy Collection

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

An interesting collection of out takes and less known recordings. Not Muddy's greatest but still better than what his immitators and emulators have done. Nice to hear the variety. Rounds out the collection.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2012

One of the best compilations of Muddy's early blues songs, before his career renaissance period when he was supported by the Rolling Stones and Johnny Winter. These songs were from a time in his career when the blues meant living the blues and it was a tough life being a blues singer.

The sound on this album is fantastic for the time it was recorded. Muddy's slide guitar work never sounded better.

This album is one of the best values in blues albums - over forty tracks and over two hours of Muddy and his friends ("Big" Crawford, Little Walter, Leonard Chess, Otis Spann, Fred Below, Jimmy Rogers, Willie Dixon, James Cotton, Big Walter, and Luther Tucker) getting it on.

Every track a keeper, some of the best classic blues you will ever hear.

Three thumbs up.

Muddy-The Best Ever

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2017

I mean this is great. Get the Chess Box (if you can find it) and this for a great overview of Muddy. Like other reviewers, the sound is great on this, and the selection top notch. I have listened to Muddy ever since I heard him as a teenager on a local NPR station program that every Saturday played the real blues for three hours. Muddy is great if you haven't heard him and this is a must have.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2004

"One More Mile" gathes 41 tracks, none of which are found on the Chess Box, and most of which have never before been available on an official US release.

Much of this fine material is equal in quality to Waters' better known output, and "One More Mile" includes lots of rarities and alternates spanning the late '40s to the early '70s, with some special points of interest: the original 1955 version of "I Want To Be Loved", which was covered by the Rolling Stones on the B-side of their very first single, and 11 songs from a previously unreleased 1972 Swiss radio broadcast, showcasing Muddy performing with a drummer-less trio.

The late-40s songs on disc 1 are among the best, showing Muddy's prowess on the slide guitar. On these lean, mean renditions of "Rollin' And Tumblin' pt. 2", "Burying Ground" and "You Gonna Need My Help", Waters is accompanied only by bassist Ernest "Big" Crawford, and this raw slide playing is some of the best I've ever heard him do.
But there are plenty of other highlights on the first disc, including the swinging, band-backed "She's So Pretty" (on which Willie Dixon plays "basss", according to the liner notes), the alternate versions of "I Want To Be Loved" and "Crawlin' Kingsnake", Sonny Boy Williamson's "Elevate Me Mama", and the soulful slow "Lonesome Room Blues".

Muddy's rendition of Junior Wells' (or rather Mel London's) "Messin' With The Kid", which is called "Messin' With The Man", is actually really good as well, in spite of a silly attempt to alter the song enough to make it a "Muddy-song" rather than a Junior Wells-song.
Muddy's version of pianist Eddie Boyd's classic "Five Long Years" is not quite as good as Boyds' original, but he does a pretty decent "You Don't Have To Go" (although it doesn't sound quite right without Jimmy Reed's drawling, mush-mouth delivery).

There's also a lot of pianist Otis Spann here, which is alway a good thing, and drummer extraordinaire Fred Below is particularly great on "Oh Yeah". And "One More Mile" also includes the infamous take of "Country Boy", which features Leonard Chess pounding the bass drum. He's not all that great, though.

Disc 2 is highlighted by "Early In The Morning Blues" (a rip-off of John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson's "Early In The Morning"), the fine slow numbers "One More Mile" and "Come Back Baby", and an interesting take on Richard Jones' jazz/blues-standart "Trouble In Mind".
The awful organ playing on "Trouble, Trouble" is inexcusable, but the last eleven songs on disc 2, the acoustic trio performance, are quite interesting. Waters, second guitarist Louis Myers, and harpist George "Mojo" Buford lay down raw, stripped-down versions of "My Pencil Won't Write No More", "Rock Me", "Hoochie Coochie Man", "You Can't Lose What You Never Had", and Big Joe Williams' "Baby Please Don't Go". Most of them are very good, although the two-guitars-and-a-harmonica arrangements are a little bit monotous at times.

All in all, this is a surprisingly good addition to Muddy Waters' already magnificent legacy, and a fine purchase for Muddy-fans. Not the place to start, but a great addition to your collection once you have the essentials.
Definitely recommended.

Some great rarer Muddy Waters tracks on this, as well as some classics, all properly remastered.
The sound on even the earliest cuts is absolutely astonishing.
This is much more interesting than a Muddy ‘Greatest Hits’ album in my opinion. I love it.
