Description
This collection just touches the surface of his legacy, vision, and depth of his recordings during that tenure. He was born McKinley Morganfield in Mississippi in 1915, took his name from the very ground on which he stood. He learned to play guitar and harmonica in his early teens. Little did he know he was helping to create a new genre of music that relied heavily on the very sound he invented on Stovall's Plantation in rural Mississippi, 1942. Amazing that a mere ten years later Rock & Roll was being born with a heady concoction of blues, R&B and country. It was truly and uniquely American Music. In a sense, Muddy Waters IS Rock & Roll. His song, "Rolling Stone" inspired a magazine and a famous British band which adopted the name and were heavily influenced by the blues and by the music of Muddy Waters! This was the sound along with BB King that fanned the flames of the British Blues Invasion and has had a lasting influence on the music we listen to in the modern age of Rock music. Here are 47 tracks that changed our music ... The Chess Classics. His legacy has been written about by blues historians; in blogs, iTunes and numerous magazines. There is no shortage of information about Muddy Waters. Consider this your invitation to The Blues ... Muddy Waters style.
