Muddy, Brass & the Blues, sometimes referred to as Brass and the Blues, is an album by the blues musician Muddy Waters, released by Chess Records in 1966.

## Critical reception

AllMusic wrote: "Stripped of his guitar once again (the cover photo notwithstanding), Waters proved what a great R&B singer he was—there are moments on this album where he almost crosses over into Otis Redding territory."
