The Rolling Stones were really influenced by Muddy and came to the USA to find him. They named themselves in honour of him and Muddy was amazed at how respected he was by the English kids at the time .
The way the rolling stones got their name according to Keith Richards is that Brian Jones named the band during a phone when hew asked by a journalist for the band's name, Jones saw a Muddy Waters LP lying on the floor; one of the tracks was "Rollin' Stone".
If you like this music you need to watch Cadillac Records. It has Beyoncé in it. Great movie...tells a lot on how him, little Walter, howlin wolf, and Etta James came up in the business.
Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Lightnin' Hopkins were some of my dad's favorite musicians. That's how I first got to know about the blues. Years later, I came to realize just how much of an influence the blues had had on all of the music that I love.
Muddy Waters was first recorded playing acoustic guitar when he was a young man living on the Stovall Plantation in Mississippi where he was born by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress. He moved to Chicago and “electrified” the blues and influenced a whole generation of up and coming guitar players in America, England, and around the world. The Rolling Stones named their band after the line in the song you just reacted to.
Wow thanks for information I'm a muddy fan I learn so much from viewers who comment and I don't know if you realise how important it is for others these knowledge people remember So once again thanks Australia 💕 Christina
LOVE LOVE LOVE the blues!! I want you to know that I am a 55 year old white female, and I think what you're doing, at this particular time, is just kick ass! I love all genres, and you're also bringing back memories. Music brings us all together! Love you dude!! Thank you!! 😇🦋♥️
Muddy Waters was a seasoned veteran of the Chicago Blues scene since the 1940s, and recorded for many years with Chess Records. In 1975, Chess Records went bankrupt, and by 1977, Muddy Waters was basically starting over with a new record label, Blue Sky Records, which was owned by white Blues guitarist Johnny Winter, who was a big fan of Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters recorded the 1977 album, "Hard Again", and Johnny Winter played the lead guitar on almost all of the recordings for this album, and for the rest of Muddy Waters' albums on the Blue Sky Records label until the time of Muddy Waters' death in 1983. Columbia Records distributed Waters' albums outside of the Chicago, Illinois market. Another Muddy Waters song from this album that I would like to see you react to, is for the song, "Deep Down In Florida". It is one of his best recordings that he ever made, in my opinion.
I saw Johnny Winter live four times, the thing that always struck me was that I believed him. I don't always 'believe' white blues players, if you know what I mean. They're tricksters. YOu see them at blues festivals a lot. Even headlining. They 'perform' the blues. But Johnny was for real.
I was in Fryfogles in London, Ontario celebrating a lady friend's birthday. She just turned 21 and I was a similar age. Muddy Waters was on stage. My friend asked me to come and sit at table with her as this guy was hitting on her and she wanted me to keep her company, turned out to Muddy's son. The only free chair was next to Muddy. I was in shock and nervous as heck sitting next to the great Bluesman. There was a bottle of wine in front of me. I picked it up and started to look at the label. He asked me if I knew what I was looking at. I proved I did. He laughed, poured me a glass and we started talking like old buddies that were a world apart in age and experience. I was to shy to ask about the old stories and he just wanted to talk about his grand kids. I hung on ever word. When he got up to do his next set, he asked me to stick around which of course I did. 45 years later and still one of the best experience's of my life.
MuckoMan Yes, and go waaay back to Robert Johnson from the Mississippi Delta (b.1911- d. 1938 - death of pneumonia from the complications of strychnine poisoning ). Sweet Home Chicago, Kindhearted Woman Blues, When You Got a Good Friend, Hellhound on My Trail, & the ultimate classic: Cross Road Blues. There’s a whole weird mythology about him and the crossroads.
Smokestack Lightning was the first song that my grandma introduced me to. Her favourite band was Rolling Stones so she naturally listened to what they listened to.
I think I was about 5 when I saw him perform this song at a south Florida blues festival. Until then I'd only heard gospel music and it totally blew my mind! My mom still tells the story of me working my way up to the edge of the stage and staring intently at the guitar player with complete wonder in my eyes.
@@salfromoregon4369 lol I can strum kumbaya around the campfire and play a few simple songs but a car accident in the 80s left me with a damaged wrist that prevents me from playing some cords. I do better on piano.
Ah yes. Now you’re into my favorite genre. One of the early female greats of the blues would be great: Big Mama Thornton )she sang the original Hound Dog), Memphis Mini (Bumblebee was her most famous), Lucille Bogan (careful what you choose as she can be x rated), Bessie Smith.
Big Mama Thornton’s Hound Dog is the only way to hear that song. When I finally heard that, I remember wondering why everyone made such a big deal about Elvis. Straight white washing.
Genevieve Van-Catledge Did you know a male blues singer made a response to Thornton’s Hound Dog called “Bear Cat ” by Rufus Thomas Jr, which was the guy’s response to Hound Dog. He was sued for it being to similar to the original. Also Big Mama Thornton didn’t get any royalties from Elvis’s version. She took it to court that she wrote the song, but lost. She was 95 pounds when she died at age 57 while living in a boarding house.
What I love about your channel is I get to also experience a song I didn’t know and I am 45. I’ve heard this style of blues, but never this song from this man. Loving it.
The version you're listening to was produced by Johnny Winter (and that's him yelling in the background). Check out some Johnny Winter and his brother Edgar, and prepare to be amazed. Muddy Waters grew up in the south, where black men were called "boy." He wrote this after he moved to Chicago, and "now I'm a man" is a big FU to oppression he felt in the south.
@@lesleyutley9210 my inner grammar teacher escapes every now and then and corrects everything in sight, the old bitch. i love this song, played it for my son when he was 6 months old, and he grew a beard.
Young man, I've been waiting for so long for you to react to the Blues. Not only are you listening to the Blues, you are listening to American history sang to you in a voice that carries the hardships and struggles of black people who had no form of freedom of speech except for music and church. Seeing you like this, makes me feel content the young people are exploring music outside of what they are forced to hear.
Awesome song off my playlist! Muddy Waters is the artist. "Mannish Boy" is the song. Other blues you should check: BB King, John Lee Hooker and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. 🎧 💓 🎶
This is the old Delta Blues going up to Chicago and starting to play electric guitar - result: Muddy Waters and a lot of other Chicago blues guys. And in the early 1960's there were young boy in England, boys with names like Keith Richards, Brian Jones and Mick Jagger, who listened a lot to Muddy Waters and this song in particular. They quoted a short phrase and made it the name of the rock band they were going to start - they called it: Rolling Stones.The rest is fuckin' history. And by the way: I really like your YT channel & your openness to ALL sorts of music.
So few people know the history of the music. When the Stones first hit big in the US, interviewers ask them what music they listened to and they mention led Muddy Waters and others. But the interviewers didn’t know those musicians were American because of the segregation, those musicians were what were called “race records” and not played by whites. The Memphis Museum of Rock and Soul in Memphis, Tennessee tells the story of American music in the 20th century and is one of the best museums I’ve ever visited. It’s an absolute must for any music lover. www.memphisrocknsoul.org/
Amy Lane I’ve been twice. Still haven’t done it all. Went to grad school for museum studies. Have been to museums around the world. This one is top notch on any scale of measure but doubly amazing due to the subject matter and content.
Dude im a 43yr old Mom lol n love watching you guys..got my husband watching too!! I love death metal n hes a metal head too. Love how open n appreciative you are to all music. You guys are adorbs!
My heart is happy! What Muddy Waters does with a guitar is beyond genius. I discovered him about your age and so excited to hear you guys react to him. Enjoy the best of blues you'll ever hear...
Muddy Waters was class A number one blues guitarist. Many musicians back in the day loved him and learned so much from him. May he rest in peace and thank you for the music!!
I am going to comment before I have watched the video. Everyone needs to understand how important this man was. He was a tremendous influence in the blues scene and pretty much invented Chicago Blues. No one could do it quite like Muddy waters even though plenty tried. So many groups were influenced by this man and his music, from the beetles, the Yardbirds, the Rolling stones and more. They all loved him and looked up to him, because they know he paved the way for them. He wrote amazing songs and he was a great performer. One of the best.
SO glad you have discovered Muddy Waters -- a blues legend. And in this song, "Mannish Boy", Muddy is joined by Johnny Winters -- ANOTHER blues legend (that's Johnny screaming & hollering in the background, as Muddy is singing the song. THIS recording is one I discovered late in life, and I still smile and 'get into it' when I hear it today.
This is some of the greatest blues ever written, IMHO. This style is the root of all the rock, R&B, all the popular music that has come since. And it is one of the most purely American forms of music. I love how much you love this!
Found you 2 days ago and can’t stop watching! I LOVE how much you get into these older songs. I’m 43 and some were old to me too but I love it all. I listen to everything. You can’t be a music lover and not be able to appreciate it all!!! You’re a cool little one! (From the mom in me that has a 25 year old)
What a way to start the day haha, it's not even 8:30am, drinking coffee and listening to Mannish Boy full blast with you. Thanks for this :) I've been listening to this lately, it's another album I had since the early 80's.
I got that album. I was lucky to see Muddy Waters live back in the day (that being the late 1970s in Austin TX at Antone's). I love this song. Glad you tried it out and got into it.
I want a first love say to you young king God bless you and most of all thank you. Heres why: On a personal note I learned about Muddy Waters 11 years ago when I was in college I took an American music history course and he was one of the first names mentioned and when you study him and learn the Dynamics of what was going around on that time and how pertinent and how important his ways was it really is still relevant to today's life. Secondly it is incredible to see a young man respond like this to this type of music and I know that there are many other young men and women that appreciate it as well but I stumbled upon your video today and I have to say hats off to you young king for being so open minded and whoever your parents are tell them I said they did a damn good job! In conclusion I will say keep doing this keep researching music I'm talking about everything from Parliament to Bob Dylan throwing a little bit of blue grass in there and then tap into some Hector Lavoe and then mixed that up with a little bit of Madonna and then throw that in with a little bit of A Tribe Called Quest and you finalize it with a little bit of Curtis Mayfield I'm telling you you're on the right track I don't know you from a hole in the wall but I can see you're on the right track and I can tell that by the music he chose today hats off to you young king
I am a huge blues music fan! I was first smitten by the genre when I was 17 years old (I’m in my 60’s now). Thrilling to see you react to Muddy! Yes, Howlin’ Wolf (Smokestack Lightning) should likely be next ... any of the following could be after: Elmore James (It Hurts Me Too), John Lee Hooker (Boom Boom), then the “Three Kings” ... BB King (Sweet Little Angel), Freddy King (Goin’ Down) & Albert King (Born Under a Bad Sign), followed by Sonny Boy Williamson II (Help Me), Little Walter (Mean Old World), Jimmy Reed (Tell The World I Do), Otis Rush (All Your Love, I miss Loving), Buddy Guy (I Cry and Sing The Blues) ... and there are many more!
Oh man, I saw Muddy Waters live at a cool venue in Niagara Falls called the Imperial Garage, just shortly before he died. He was amazing! Talk about bring the house down! He brought his stool out and sat in the middle of the stage and jammed all night! So blessed to have seen him live!
One of the highlights of my life was sharing a stage with Muddy back in the 70s. We were his warm up band and he called me up to sing I Got My Mojo Working with him, which was also in my repetoire. And we danced the same dance :-D Yeah, one of the GREATS!
Muddy Waters inspired so many artists with his musical genius! Especially the young musicians in England , like Led Zeppelin , listen to When the Levee Breaks by Led Zepp and Robert Plants lead vocal, he loved Muddy Waters and visits down south where Muddy was from. Eric Clapton was Muddys best man at his wedding too. Ain’t nobody sang like Muddy Waters, for real this is Soul they played at Juke joints! We need juke joints today so we can be free and let our souls heal in this world today! I love that you are gettin this music, good job you are getting turned out now to the best music! This is where it all came from! And music from Appalachia too! I think lots of babies were made back in the old “golden” days!
KING of the Blues! McKinnley Morganfield from very rural Mississippi the onto CHICAGO! I got to shake his hand once!!!! He was standing outside the ROXY in Hollywood, CA... just finished a gig... waiting for a cab... I saw him!!!! Just standing there!!!!! REAL NICE MAN!!!
Oh how I love the blues! So happy you’re open to listening to everything. Soon you will start recognizing the connections and where other artists got their inspiration. Music is so healing and universal.
Willie Dixon, the session musician with Chess Records, worked with Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Little Walter, Little Richard, Etta James and Chuck Berry, amongst many others. He's the true king of Blues, Rock and everything in between. Muddy Waters, specifically, is the inspiration behind The Rolling Stones
Got to see Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Lightning Hopkins live in Miami at a place called The Sportatorium! Amazing! So glad a new generation is listening.
ooops! "Mannish Boy" is the name of the song, not the singer, lol!! If you like Muddy Waters, check out BB King, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thorton.... the list is endless
I played Harmonica with Muddy Waters when I was 15 years old. I'm 65 and I'm still recovering! Glad you found this - now listen to Howlin' Wolf!
id love to hear that story!
That's amazing. You've been in the presence of greatness, sir!
A-Pauled-In-Evanston Amazing!
Blessed!!
Now that's a story we all would like to hear. That's a blessing.
The Rolling Stones were really influenced by Muddy and came to the USA to find him. They named themselves in honour of him and Muddy was amazed at how respected he was by the English kids at the time .
How many of us would have discovered Muddy without the Stones? Without Clapton how many of us would have discovered BB King?

Angus Young in a recent interview said Muddy Waters was a major influence for alot of his music. He still always has Muddy on in his car
This is pure blues. Pure genius. Try listening to Moaning at Midnight by Howling Wolf. It's just beautiful.
Howard 1958 he gives me goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
Howling Wolf is awesome!
If you like this music you need to watch Cadillac Records. It has Beyoncé in it. Great movie...tells a lot on how him, little Walter, howlin wolf, and Etta James came up in the business.
Howling Wolf was that dude. Him and Muddy Waters...blues don't get. No better, except of course Bobby Blue bland 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, Howlin' Wolf would make them lose it lol. Smokestack Lightning!
Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Lightnin' Hopkins were some of my dad's favorite musicians. That's how I first got to know about the blues. Years later, I came to realize just how much of an influence the blues had had on all of the music that I love.
John Lee Hooker (my favorite) and Son House.
What about lead belly you can not forget him
Elmore James
From Sonnyboy Williams to Leadbelly to Howlin Wolf
to B B King to Bobby Bluebland. That was what I listening to growing up.
Muddy Waters was first recorded playing acoustic guitar when he was a young man living on the Stovall Plantation in Mississippi where he was born by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.

Just learned something myself! History of “Mannish Boy” by Muddy....
Same here mama!
Now we're talkin! This is a kind of music that establishes the groundwork for American music. Important to know and so fun to listen to.

In 1975, Chess Records went bankrupt, and by 1977, Muddy Waters was basically starting over with a new record label, Blue Sky Records, which was owned by white Blues guitarist Johnny Winter, who was a big fan of Muddy Waters.

Right, check out Johnny Winter at Woodstock, "Meantown Blues" he's the greatest white bluesman.
Larry; much appreciated, from this 70 y.o. rolling stone, gathering just a wee bit of moss.
Rock ON! YAYAAAAH! Oh, yea~
I saw Johnny Winter live four times, the thing that always struck me was that I believed him. I don't always 'believe' white blues players, if you know what I mean. They're tricksters. YOu see them at blues festivals a lot. Even headlining. They 'perform' the blues. But Johnny was for real.

Are you familiar with the works of the legendary Irish blues man Rory Gallagher?
So glad you discovered Muddy Waters there's so much good music out there
Vaile Walders Bobby blu Bland.. was so cool too

Listen to some John Lee Hooker Boom Boom Now thats some dirty old blues
Yes!!! Love some John Lee Hooker!
Yes! I was about to suggest John Lee Hooker. Too Young
Yes! Detroit represent.
MuckoMan Yes, and go waaay back to Robert Johnson from the Mississippi Delta (b.1911- d. 1938 - death of pneumonia from the complications of strychnine poisoning ). Sweet Home Chicago, Kindhearted Woman Blues, When You Got a Good Friend, Hellhound on My Trail, & the ultimate classic: Cross Road Blues. There’s a whole weird mythology about him and the crossroads.
John Lee Hooker, Lightning Hopkins, Howling Wolf
He is the original! Howlin' Wolf next. Can't wait to see your face when he starts singing
TheGrapestar23 he’s no joke. His voice made the dead rise.
Yes! The Wolfman. 😎
Smokestack Lightning was the first song that my grandma introduced me to. Her favourite band was Rolling Stones so she naturally listened to what they listened to.
Yes I wanna see your reaction haha
Without Muddy Waters, there would be no Rolling Stones.
I see what you did there lol
You're right. Sir Mick even said so.
There wouldn't be any of them without Muddy
Now we know who to blame
Correct! 👍
I think I was about 5 when I saw him perform this song at a south Florida blues festival. Until then I'd only heard gospel music and it totally blew my mind! My mom still tells the story of me working my way up to the edge of the stage and staring intently at the guitar player with complete wonder in my eyes.
Now that’s a good story. Music is a siren’s song that has lured many a man into her arms.
So do you play guitar now as an adult? Never heard this song before. Loved it. Tim is doing an awesome job of educating me.
@@salfromoregon4369 lol I can strum kumbaya around the campfire and play a few simple songs but a car accident in the 80s left me with a damaged wrist that prevents me from playing some cords. I do better on piano.

Going back to Rock and roll's ROOTS. Nice job!!
This is where all the great rockers learned to rock
Ah yes. Now you’re into my favorite genre. One of the early female greats of the blues would be great: Big Mama Thornton )she sang the original Hound Dog), Memphis Mini (Bumblebee was her most famous), Lucille Bogan (careful what you choose as she can be x rated), Bessie Smith.

Listen to Sam Cooke “ A Change is Gonna Come”. Life changing song.
I cry every time I hear it.
Gotta hear it by Brian Owens and Michael McDonald (Sanborn Sessions) here on RUclips. It's AMAZING

Oh my goodness, Muddy Waters! Yes yes yes.
Muddy Waters. Timeless. He’s part of your heritage, and the father of so much of the music of the 20th century. Wonderful
The Rolling Stones got their name from this song when Muddy sings “I’m a Rolling Stone” they were big fans. 🥰💙☮️
They actually got their name from his song called Rollin Stone Blues
Muddy was the king of the blues. This is still one of the sexiest songs ever written. 😉
Muddy💜💜💜Try Howling Wolf too. Muddy Waters is a legend!!!
That was back when Black men were called boy. He screamed it out I’m a Man!!!!
This is the old Delta Blues going up to Chicago and starting to play electric guitar - result: Muddy Waters and a lot of other Chicago blues guys. And in the early 1960's there were young boy in England, boys with names like Keith Richards, Brian Jones and Mick Jagger, who listened a lot to Muddy Waters and this song in particular.

I really think you'd appreciate Gil Scott Heron, The Revolution will not be Televised. He was cool bro and groundbreaking.
Have you listened to the mixes that Jamie from the xx did of Gil Scott Heron?
Thank you. I have been requesting this for ages. I was beginning to think people had forgotten about GSH. He was great and deserves more recognition.
Fuck yeah! On my top 10 ever! Still an important song, young kids should hear that one!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
I think my all time favourite may be Winter In America. (But also, like, how to you choose!)
This what makes music, music. Blues is life and life is the blues. Nice to see the youth rediscovering real music.
Try some Howlin' Wolf - Spoonful/Smokestack Lightnin' and some John Lee Hooker - Boom,Boom / I'm In The Mood / The Healer
Yes!!! I love the blues!
I love the hype of the crowd in this clip. It helps give the full experience.
Oh hell! I never heard this song ...love IT! Hits me hard!!! Thanks for that
Muddy was a BAD-ASS! Legend!!
Even listening to this on RUclips you can imagine being in a dark, hot, smokey, basement bar full of people just loving this music
One of my favourite albums. Classic Muddy. Hearing him with Johnny Winter is gold.
Muddy Waters is one of the bests you'll ever hear.
I love this song! I’ve always loved the guy(s) hollering out in the background. ☺️
These old blues guys influenced multitudes of very famous bands. Amazing music.
Love your energy, vibe and channel! I’m 40 and know most of this music... so happy you get to experience it!
LOVE this channel. Watched about 60 today!! Can't get enough!!❤❤
Same! 41 here, and am loving seeing the reactions! What an amazing vibe!
Adriana Martucci Hi fellow Adriana! I keep seeing our name often lately. Though growing up I never heard it!
I will never forget seeing this legend live at the Hollywood Whisky a go go in the late 70's. Started listening to his music in the late 60's....
One of the best
blues singers ever.
This music you are listening to has carried on for generations to
come and your generation can help
to do that.
Muddy Waters is one the pioneers of the blues!!! Excellent!!!!
Feel like I'm going on a journey with these guys
My heart is happy! What Muddy Waters does with a guitar is beyond genius. I discovered him about your age and so excited to hear you guys react to him. Enjoy the best of blues you'll ever hear...
This is the music my very talented guitar playing nephew plays. He’s 22! The old blues men are his inspiration and heroes!
Lovin some Muddy Waters! Glad you're hearing this man!
This is one of my favorite songs ever!!!!
Muddy Waters was class A number one blues guitarist. Many musicians back in the day loved him and learned so much from him. May he rest in peace and thank you for the music!!
Who doesn't love the blues!!! So powerful, this is great!!
You are doing so much for music! Sharing the greats with new generations. Mad respect my man!
Muddy Waters is a legend! The Rolling Stones got their name from this song! Love what you young men are doing! Stay positive!
They got their name from Muddy's song called Rollin Stone Blues

THIS recording is one I discovered late in life, and I still smile and 'get into it' when I hear it today.
You are just too cute!! Thanks so much for uploading and sharing your reactions! Keep em coming. Much love to you and your twin! :) :) :)
Thanks for this, love this song!
This is some of the greatest blues ever written, IMHO. This style is the root of all the rock, R&B, all the popular music that has come since. And it is one of the most purely American forms of music. I love how much you love this!
Found you 2 days ago and can’t stop watching! I LOVE how much you get into these older songs. I’m 43 and some were old to me too but I love it all. I listen to everything. You can’t be a music lover and not be able to appreciate it all!!! You’re a cool little one! (From the mom in me that has a 25 year old)
What a way to start the day haha, it's not even 8:30am, drinking coffee and listening to Mannish Boy full blast with you. Thanks for this :) I've been listening to this lately, it's another album I had since the early 80's.
Bless you! Reggae please. If I had to pick just one... Bob Marley "Redemption Song." Love you, xoxo!
@Stream On OBX Bob Marley - "Soul Rebel" ruclips.net/video/MWp3qOLJZ0w/видео.html
Yes please?
MyMother'sGarden More Marley! And some Jimmy Cliff & Augustus Pablo.
or "concrete jungle"?
They listened to Bob last week but I recommend Redemption Sing as well.
I got that album. I was lucky to see Muddy Waters live back in the day (that being the late 1970s in Austin TX at Antone's). I love this song. Glad you tried it out and got into it.
My Pop Pops music! He always sit in His chair, smoking his cigar, sipping his old fashioned drink 🥃& listening to his Muddy Waters!
the blues had a baby and they name it Rock 'n Roll....
Aw man!! Muddy Waters is the real deal blues man. Give him some love!
I want a first love say to you young king God bless you and most of all thank you. Heres why:
On a personal note I learned about Muddy Waters 11 years ago when I was in college I took an American music history course and he was one of the first names mentioned and when you study him and learn the Dynamics of what was going around on that time and how pertinent and how important his ways was it really is still relevant to today's life.
Secondly it is incredible to see a young man respond like this to this type of music and I know that there are many other young men and women that appreciate it as well but I stumbled upon your video today and I have to say hats off to you young king for being so open minded and whoever your parents are tell them I said they did a damn good job!
In conclusion I will say keep doing this keep researching music I'm talking about everything from Parliament to Bob Dylan throwing a little bit of blue grass in there and then tap into some Hector Lavoe and then mixed that up with a little bit of Madonna and then throw that in with a little bit of A Tribe Called Quest and you finalize it with a little bit of Curtis Mayfield I'm telling you you're on the right track I don't know you from a hole in the wall but I can see you're on the right track and I can tell that by the music he chose today hats off to you young king
Well said.
Can you react to the Kinks? There bests songs were, Lola, All day and all of the night, You really got me. Please do them!
Terrence Trent D'arby songs are great "Who's Loving You", "Wishing Well", "7 Days" etc. Great artist !!!
Yvonne Lloyd oh yeah he needs to do Terrence! But make sure it’s the live vid so he can see him dance!
Crazy on you - by heart! So many levels it goes so hard!
I'm sure they've heard it because Eminem used it in a song
I am a huge blues music fan! I was first smitten by the genre when I was 17 years old (I’m in my 60’s now). Thrilling to see you react to Muddy! Yes, Howlin’ Wolf (Smokestack Lightning) should likely be next ... any of the following could be after: Elmore James (It Hurts Me Too), John Lee Hooker (Boom Boom), then the “Three Kings” ... BB King (Sweet Little Angel), Freddy King (Goin’ Down) & Albert King (Born Under a Bad Sign), followed by Sonny Boy Williamson II (Help Me), Little Walter (Mean Old World), Jimmy Reed (Tell The World I Do), Otis Rush (All Your Love, I miss Loving), Buddy Guy (I Cry and Sing The Blues) ... and there are many more!
Oh man, I saw Muddy Waters live at a cool venue in Niagara Falls called the Imperial Garage, just shortly before he died. He was amazing! Talk about bring the house down! He brought his stool out and sat in the middle of the stage and jammed all night! So blessed to have seen him live!
The Rolling Stones got the name for their band from this song. Great reactions!!!
My All Time Favorite! Love Muddy
One of the highlights of my life was sharing a stage with Muddy back in the 70s. We were his warm up band and he called me up to sing I Got My Mojo Working with him, which was also in my repetoire. And we danced the same dance :-D Yeah, one of the GREATS!
The POWER in that old school blues is next level!
Muddy Waters inspired so many artists with his musical genius! Especially the young musicians in England , like Led Zeppelin , listen to When the Levee Breaks by Led Zepp and Robert Plants lead vocal, he loved Muddy Waters and visits down south where Muddy was from. Eric Clapton was Muddys best man at his wedding too. Ain’t nobody sang like Muddy Waters, for real this is Soul they played at Juke joints! We need juke joints today so we can be free and let our souls heal in this world today! I love that you are gettin this music, good job you are getting turned out now to the best music! This is where it all came from! And music from Appalachia too! I think lots of babies were made back in the old “golden” days!
Love it that you’ve done a Muddy Waters one!
Glad u can b a big influence. Keep them coming
Pure soul!!! Excellent!! Awesome reaction!!
KING of the Blues! McKinnley Morganfield from very rural Mississippi the onto CHICAGO! I got to shake his hand once!!!! He was standing outside the ROXY in Hollywood, CA... just finished a gig... waiting for a cab... I saw him!!!! Just standing there!!!!! REAL NICE MAN!!!
The artistry!🌻
One name one song:
BIG MAMA THORNTON - BALL AND CHAIN
MAKE IT HAPPEN SIR!
Glad you like Muddy Waters. We saw/heard him live back in the day.
One of my favorite songs to swing dance to. The beat and feeling just brings it home.
The music you're listening too. Is when you could FEEL the emotion they sang with.
Oh how I love the blues! So happy you’re open to listening to everything. Soon you will start recognizing the connections and where other artists got their inspiration. Music is so healing and universal.
Willie Dixon, the session musician with Chess Records, worked with Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Little Walter, Little Richard, Etta James and Chuck Berry, amongst many others. He's the true king of Blues, Rock and everything in between. Muddy Waters, specifically, is the inspiration behind The Rolling Stones
He’s a legend!
Got to see Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Lightning Hopkins live in Miami at a place called The Sportatorium! Amazing! So glad a new generation is listening.
Bob Dylan "Like a Rolling Stone"
I've been requesting that song forever!
my fav blues son of all time! I was gonna suggest this for you- Yaaaas!
My favourite song of all time . Utter class and perfection .
ooops! "Mannish Boy" is the name of the song, not the singer, lol!!
If you like Muddy Waters, check out BB King, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thorton.... the list is endless
That’s our history bro🙏🏾
Keep on Jumping at
The Jumping, Jive🎶
I heard him in college. Hard to believe! I remember being hit with the music the minute he opened his mouth. Amazing.
Good one! Nice tattoo. I love watching your reaction to these great artists.
Muddy Waters is the man. So many good songs. Jimi Hendrix played a pretty fun rendition of Mannish Boy, too.
