Rollin' Stone: The Golden Anniversary Collection is a compilation album collecting the first 50 master recordings of blues singer Muddy Waters for Chess Records. The collection spans Muddy's debut with then named Aristocrat Records circa 1947, and traces his evolution as a songwriter and musician up to September 17, 1952 on what became Chess Records after the company changed ownership. It is the first in a series of releases chronicling Muddy Waters' complete recording career at Chess. The second release in the series is Hoochie Coochie Man: The Complete Chess Masters, Volume 2, 1952-1958 (2004) and the third release in the series is You Shook Me: The Complete Chess Masters, Volume 3, 1958 to 1963 (2012).
