The Muddy Waters album "Live at Mr. Kelly's" is linked to mp3s in the playlist as the CD is not easily available (or affordable).  However , we did find that this album has been paired with another reare Muddy Waters Chess Album, "They Call Me Muddy Waters" on a CD package that you can link to here. Here's a short description:
