Subject:'Hoochie Coochie Man' by Muddy Waters
On Sundays I listen to a radio programme on the Blues. I like this music, and tonight they featured Muddy Waters. This week saw the 96th anniversary of his birth year. Muddy passed from this life, however, in 1983. I'm sure wherever he is, he is still the king of the Blues. ♥



"McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), better known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician and is generally considered 'the Father of Chicago blues'. He is also the actual father of blues musicians Big Bill Morganfield and Larry 'Mud Morganfield' Williams.

Considered one of the greatest bluesmen of all time, Muddy Waters was a huge inspiration for the British beat explosion in the 1960s and considered by many to be one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.

In 2004 Waters was ranked #17 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time." [Source]

Here is one of my favourites: 'Hoochoe Coochie Man' as performed by Muddy at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960.
