Muddy Waters Chicago Blues
(McKinley Morganfield)
Born April 4, 1915 in Rolling Fork Mississippi

Muddy was greatly influenced by early exposure to some of the great blues men such as Son House, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson. In his time Muddy became much more popular than any of his contemporaries did. His first recording session for the Library of Congress was in 1941 and was long before his popularity, that came when he moved to Chicago in the late 1940's. In Chicago his first recording sessions were on the Aristocrat Label for the Chess brothers. In 1950 Muddy formed a band that was to help shape the Chicago sound. The band included Little Walter on harp and Jimmy Rogers on guitar. His list of sidemen over the years is a Who's Who of the Chicago scene and sound. To name a few..Otis Spann, Junior Wells, Walter Horton, Leroy Foster, Big Crawford and James Cotton. From "The Complete Plantation Recordings" (1941 - 42 Library of Congress) to recordings such as "Fathers And Sons" (Chess) Muddy touched, recorded with, and influenced many many people in his life time.
