@Buzzgrower probably because you can't play a note of music, you sound like that kind of dufus. never played a note in his life and yet thinks "just plain".
Muddy was the shit yo! I saw him live and the Wolf and Mississippi John Hurt. That kid who dissed Bieber, my hat is off to you. I wish my 4-year-old son had such. Taste. You rock!
@lewars1912 Yeah... Led Zeppelin were master thieves... think of all the gazillions they made stealing old blues songs from guys who got paid dimes for their hard work.
@bluesgurugod True! These are interesting: Google "Led Zeppelin: Wilson and Alroy's Record Reviews" and "The Thieving Magpies: Jimmy Page's Dubious Recording History."
@DrunkOnPoppySeeds Nope. This is the mid 1960 after college kids had discovered Muddy's early music. He'd played a full set with his electric guitar and band, but they wanted to hear him solo acoustic. He said he hadn't done that in a really long time, but they wouldn't let up. This is the treat we get for their persistence.
im the only kid in middle school who has heard of muddy waters and listens to him all the time, everyone else is obsessed with justin bieber and lady gaga. I WISH I GREW UP BACK THEN!!!!!
@TheBmxskateman Hey man, much respect. But I do have to try and get you to reconsider wishing you grew up back then. Even though yes, I would have loved to grow up seeing muddy and wolf live, think about how incredibly accessible all that stuff is now. I mean I'm only 18 and the internet (although not exclusively that) has allowed me to basically get any music I could ever find and imaginably want. And don't ignore all the dank contemporary music that's being made it's perfectly worthy!
@ShonoughIdo yea but, our passion to travel and meet people gets kinda lost.. instead we just sit at home and become lazy and get lost in so many videos...
We have the Newport audience to thanks for this piece of musical history. Muddy and his band were performing at the festival in the 60's. The crowd loved the set, but they wanted to hear Muddy solo acoustic. He said he hadn't done that on stage in nearly 20 years. He didn't even have an acoustic guitar with him, so somebody handed one up from another artist. I used to have the album with this song on it, but I think I lost it when I moved.
16 people clearly have no respect for the musical genious that is Muddy Waters or they are gay Justin Bieber fans or some shit like that. What little bitches.
@jokersbitch Beside Muddy, my vote is Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson(s), (both 1 and 2), Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Honey Boy Edwards, Mississippi Fred McDowell. There are other greats, such as Otis Spann, but that short list will give you a good start. Listen to the songs on Eric Clapton's "From the Cradle", then start pulling on the threads of those songs which lead back to the people who originally did them. Begin the journey, my friend.
"The Blues is when you love someone don't love you."
Oh and it was Robert Johnson who always scared the crap out of me. Great as all these guys are, Johnson was just unreal in the vibe he put across. The tragedy you hear in his voice is profound.
Man, the first time I saw Muddy Waters, I was 13 yrs. old 1978,Providence R.I. opening for Eric Clapton.Muddy came on and it was SICK.He rocked the house, it was a sight to see
We NEED more blues musicians! They're a dying breed. :(
But I guess there's a bit of hope coming with a few of the young ones. Derek Trukks comes to mind. But I just hope they don't all become like John Mayer. And by that, I do mean I hope they don't waste their great talent becoming a puppet for pop culture.
can someone please tell me what are the best delta or "black" blues artists..Im pretty much new into blues and was checking some videos and like specialy Afro-American artists but are just too many. wich should I definitly check out in your opinion? thank you for the answers
@jokersbitch mississippi john hurt,,he will hypnotise you with his voice ,were so lucky to have all this on net,all free,all posted by lovin guyz n galz from all walks of life,all over the world ,,AMEN TO YOU ALLL ,,THANK YOU SO MUCH ,,,
@SECtennesseeSEC Back a few years ago, I heard this referred to as "Plantation Blues". I wonder if it was just because of "Son" House's influence on Morganfield (the use of the Bottle Slide). None the less, love this stuff.
@otef434 The original Alan Lomax recordings for the Library of Congress from 1941 is on an album called "Muddy Waters The Complete Plantation Recordings". This was originally titled "I Be's Troubled". The disk sent to Muddy from Lomax along with the $20 he paid him to play had "Country Blues" on the #1 side and "I Be's Troubled" on #2.
@sugarmamaaa Thank you so very much. My memory aint all that great, but I remember hearing several versions of his "I Be Troubled". I kinda wish I was alive back then to witness the beginnings of this music, no matter what you call it.
@otef434 "I can't be satisfied" was released when I was 6 months old. Later in my life I saw many of the great Delta Bluesman in 1960s San Francisco at the Fillmore Auditorium or Avalon Ballroom (Muddy, John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and others). Sorry that I never saw Howlin' Wolf. But I feel blessed to have seen so many in person and their music today is timeless--they will never be repeated. Peace!
@sugarmamaaa Chicago Junior Wells nephew (one of them)lives behind my parents. My dad used to play with a lot of the great Delta bluesmen. I asked my dad why his group never went for stardom and he told me that they played for fun. A few of his band members already had decent jobs and families and they as a group weren't "starving". I learned a lot about the blues from my dad.
@arkansoul Buddy Guy was recently quoted as saying: "We played for the love of music, Today they play for the love of money." And I can hear the difference in the music. In my mind, there's nothing like Mississippi Delta blues. :-) Amazing that out of 5 nominees for Traditional Blues grammys this year that 4 nominees are Mississippi bluesmen all of whom played in Muddy's band. Buddy Guy is nominated in the Contemporary blues category. So the blues lives on.... :-) Peace!
@sugarmamaaa Exactly. The artists played for the love of music. They enjoyed the camaraderie with assembling together and producing a sound that the PEOPLE loved. Mississippi is the Blues Hub. Most of the Chicago bluesmen had Mississippi roots. I'm from Eastern Arkansas and we had our share of players but Mississippi was where is was at...
@arkansoul Robert Nighthawk comes to mind when you mention East Ark and sings about Friars Point across the Miss from his home in Helena. He sings a song by the same name--Going Back to Friars Point. Amazing how much talent came from the Clarksdale area--and I know there were many that we never got to hear. An album Chicago/The Blues/Today! released in 1966 3 vols with a number of Blues artists Junior Wells, James Cotton, Johnny Shines, Otis Spann, and others is worth a listen if interested.
@arkansoul Wow. I just noticed that Buddy Guy, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, and Hubert Sumlin are also on another album in the Contemporary category "Live. In Chicago"!! Yay!
why do people have to bring all this race conversation to the page? cant you find a place in your heart for peace to enter, even for a moment, while listening to this fine art..
cadillac records shows me bit how it was and now i have new look on past :) very nice ... if i see good ... muddy waters and blues inspires Rolling Stones ? niice if yea
@BALLERSK they inspired all rock but they basically gave birth to th e rolling stones but atleast they didnt steeal shit from the old chess records crew and they took care of muddy and brought his sound to the UK fro a revival of muddys career.willie dixon had to sue punk asses like the beach boys and led zepplin for being unoriginal andnot even having the balls to admit they couldnt come up with they own shit..
@Bluefinger I believe this is the 1948 version recorded under the (pre-Chess) Aristocrat label. Sometimes I get the rhythm of this stuck in my head for days. The only drawback is that it's hard to play other stuff.
@Blusician1965 No, I don't think so. It's most likely newer. Muddy's voice sounds more mature, the recording quality is quite good and it's obviously a live recording. It must be off a later live album but I don't know which.
BB King Knows that Muddy is the King. That's why in one of his live shows in the beginning he says: I'm gonna try and do it like Muddy Waters use to do. But BB king is amazing nevertheless. And baby does he have the blues....
@regorekrub That kind of comment is what you'd expect to read on a heavy metal site. That's not the Blues' way. Like whoever you want, but don't insult or put other artists down.
@regorekrub Muddy was Blues royalty, arguably the king. But he wasn't alone. There was Howlin Wolf, James Cotton, Little Walter, Memphis Slim, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and, yes, BB King. You don't have to agree and I couldn't care less if you don't.
@Kaalec BB King was not in that category... Muddy played the blues, King played commercially... One for the love of music one for the love of a dollar... Never had it never will... I suppose you consider Clapton one of the blues greats too...
@regorekrub Your common misconception that Muddy was somehow against making money is not born out by the facts. If he just wanted to play for purist reasons, he could have stayed a sharecropper in Mississippi, but he CHOSE to go north to Chicago to make his living as a musician. This idea that delta blues artists were against making money is fallacious. Ma Rainy and Bessie Smith both played on the vaudeville circuit. Robert Johnson toured the country trying to make money.
Muddy himself owned fine suits and Cadillacs. He would have been richer if the Chess brothers had given him proper royalties for his songs and recordings. He wanted money. In fact, in the 1970s, he teamed up with Johnny Winter because he knew that Winter's name in the rock world would sell more albums. And it did. And Muddy was HAPPY. He and King were both PROFESSIONAL musicians and entertainers. King was just better at managing his own career when it came to getting what he was owed.
@IBG67 Dude i like muddy waters too, in fact he is my favorite musician, but BB King isn't terrible. he is nowhere near as good as muddy waters, but bb king does have feeling.
@chewymeemee They are all magic in their different ways,Sonny Boy 1 ,Sonny Boy 2. Jimmy Reed,Junior,Little Walter,Lazy Lester,Pappa Lightfoot,Jolly George...you name them.They are all magic
this makes me sad...because in the hype and glam of music today we sure are losing the real substance that makes good music.....simple stripped down well written blues....music you can feel the good and the bad.

what tuning is this in?
MyLoveDog09 1 year ago
@MyLoveDog09 My guess its an open tuning. Open G or E?
JimmyPage97 1 year ago
@JimmyPage97 yes, that song is played in open G. It's easy to play this song but it's damn hard to play it right ...
Does anybody know what record this from? Never heard this version and it's killer!
Bluefinger 1 year ago
@Bluefinger I believe this is the 1948 version recorded under the (pre-Chess) Aristocrat label. Sometimes I get the rhythm of this stuck in my head for days. The only drawback is that it's hard to play other stuff.
Blusician1965 1 year ago
@Blusician1965 No, I don't think so. It's most likely newer. Muddy's voice sounds more mature, the recording quality is quite good and it's obviously a live recording. It must be off a later live album but I don't know which.
Bluefinger 1 year ago
@Bluefinger Its not damn hard to play it, but to play it like Muddy? Yeah that damn hard.

BB King Knows that Muddy is the King. That's why in one of his live shows in the beginning he says: I'm gonna try and do it like Muddy Waters use to do. But BB king is amazing nevertheless. And baby does he have the blues....

@regorekrub That kind of comment is what you'd expect to read on a heavy metal site. That's not the Blues' way. Like whoever you want, but don't insult or put other artists down.

@Kaalec You can't honestly put them two on the same plane... Like who you want but don't be adding pretenders to the ranks of royalty...
regorekrub 11 months ago
@regorekrub Muddy was Blues royalty, arguably the king. But he wasn't alone. There was Howlin Wolf, James Cotton, Little Walter, Memphis Slim, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and, yes, BB King. You don't have to agree and I couldn't care less if you don't.
Kaalec 11 months ago
@Kaalec BB King was not in that category... Muddy played the blues, King played commercially... One for the love of music one for the love of a dollar... Never had it never will... I suppose you consider Clapton one of the blues greats too...
regorekrub 11 months ago
@regorekrub Your common misconception that Muddy was somehow against making money is not born out by the facts. If he just wanted to play for purist reasons, he could have stayed a sharecropper in Mississippi, but he CHOSE to go north to Chicago to make his living as a musician. This idea that delta blues artists were against making money is fallacious. Ma Rainy and Bessie Smith both played on the vaudeville circuit. Robert Johnson toured the country trying to make money.
Kaalec 11 months ago
Muddy himself owned fine suits and Cadillacs. He would have been richer if the Chess brothers had given him proper royalties for his songs and recordings. He wanted money. In fact, in the 1970s, he teamed up with Johnny Winter because he knew that Winter's name in the rock world would sell more albums. And it did. And Muddy was HAPPY. He and King were both PROFESSIONAL musicians and entertainers. King was just better at managing his own career when it came to getting what he was owed.

Gotta go with Sonny Boy, but in his prime James Cotton was the best ever. And Little Walter wasn't bad either.
