David Chen and The Muddy Basin Ramblers is the eponymous debut album by The Muddy Basin Ramblers. Released in 2007, the album contained predominantly original tracks with some jug band standards. It was only for sale at one bar in Taipei called Bobwundaye.[1] The title of the album was inspired by the wet and muddy conditions in Taipei, Taiwan. Another title considered was The Taipei Blues Boys.[2]

For all future releases the band shortened their name to The Muddy Basin Ramblers.[3] Their next three albums would all be nominated for the Grammy Awards in the Best Recording Package category.[4]
