What movie are you guys talking about? I havn't seen a movie, but I can say I grew up listening to the blue's thanks to my dad. I'm 31 and this legend will live on. You can bet you butt my kids will know what the blue's is and the history of rock and roll for that matter. The generations now have no originality. They just cycle themselves. Keepin it real for Muddy!
Little Walter's tongue blocking skills on the harp are almost impossible to duplicate! This guy had mean skills! As a fellow blues harpist, I still can't get anywhere near that solo! But don't forget Paul Oscher, who also played in Muddy's band! Those two are KINGS of the blues harp! And Paul is still alive! R.I.P King Walter, you were taken way too young....
@kissmablaekaess87 Kim Wilson from the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds played harmonica for the actor portraying Little Walter.....He did a good job in the movie..
When Chess Records sold out, the new owners found hundreds if not thousands of vinyl records with records of Muddy, Wolf, Etta James etc., and threw them all in the trash. These artists weren't the legends they've become in modern times. In the 60's you would have heard of Etta because she had "crossover" hits, but no one knew Wolf, Dixon and the others unless they were followers of the Blues... most people then were not. The Brits were the biggest consumers.
@mnpd007 Everything you said is true from a white perspective. White Americans didn't know Muddy or Wolf, or Willie, but to millions of Black people they were superstars. Black people left the blues behind after the Civil Rights movement. That's a story all by itself, but don't think that the mainstream (White) perspective is the only one that exists.
i am a white man n back in the late 50's n 60's we listen to a station in tenn. n thats all they had was black music it came on late at night around 11or12.thats when i live in ohio.i live in tx. now n it sucks..nothing like ohio were black n whites were the same
@checker764 Quite agree - just something special which no one before or since has been able to capture. Little Walter is likely the best blues harmonica player who's ever lived.
@checker764 As a fellow harpist, Id have to agree! But don't forget Paul Oscher, who also played with Muddy's band... He is just as good if not better in my opinion!
My mom listen to this record every day. Every time my dad came home he would take it and break it. She would hallo and scream and go buy another one. I know this song very well. She must have brought at least 20, Lenard Chess and Muddy made plenty money off my dad. lol
@helpcounselor Were they the original Chess 45s? Were you from the Chicago area? I lived in a northwest Chicago suburb in the 50s when I first heard the song. There's no way I would have dared play it when my Dad was around!
This was Muddy at his peak. I've probably listened to this record 1,000 times since 1957 when I first heard it. Classic 1950s Chicago blues at its best!
this is the shyt!!!!!!!!!!!! real blues for sure!! I wish blues were more popular, I know it had its day. But this is real deal music you can feel. their loss
it opens up with the vocal. What a commander Muddy was. Walter is awesome, and saves the track. There was some lax musicianship in in the preceeding few bars and he sorted that out and got them going again as a unit. This is a great record.
3:02 video: Muddy Waters singing Forty Days and Forty Nights.
McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician, generally considered the Father of modern Chicago blues.
@mkworkman Saw and had spoken with him with my brother and I and was a fine feeling he told That Blues is no feeling but it takes You and You will be a drifting ship ,Thanks brother got the Org Rec on Chess
@Bruscarful I've heard very few covers of blues that were better than the original. I agree with George Carlin - "White people got no business singing the blues. What have they got to be blue about? The espresso machine broke? Banana Republic ran out of khakis?". The covers can be technically good, but the feeling just isn't there.
I'm white and have been listening to Muddy and Chicago blues since 1957.
@brushcreek42 Most jews aren't (and were not back in the 40's) black. Ask a Mexican immigrant what do they have to 'got blue about'. And the whole majority of Irish people are far from black, quite on the opposite colour...
Now, let's not talk rubish here, nor change this great Blues song comments into a hate&prejudice argue, aye?!
I'm technically 'human', the way I see that's my RACE. The fact that my skin is 'white' doesn't change it.
@brushcreek42 Ps: and my fav. Blues player is Mr. Charlie Musselwhite (white in the name and in the skin), throug him I've discovered the gender and I still dig his songs no matter who of 'The Great Ones' I came to 'discover' afterwards.
And btw, Mr. Musselwhite did've sang (about Blues) "You know fast women and whiskey ...made this poor boy wild" ...so I guess there IS something about 'gender' aswell.
(yeah, desperately trying to pretend it was on purpose, I am)
todays music is NOT GETTING WORSE. please don't underrate todays musicians. i'm just so sick of reading pessimistic comments and swearing for bieber and other music industry products. there is a huuuuge diffrence between todays music and todays PROMOTED music. musicians very talanted educated better than ever, full of influences,we try hard, with only good intensions, respect for the previous and love for the music. search for the good ones, they could be everywhere.
Try listening to some other styles too! yes... delta blues isnt that poplulair anymore.. (allthough john lee hooker still made some great songs a couple of years ago) but there are great guyz like mumford and sons (a bit like folk rock or something...) , yann tiersen (modern classical music), and now i think of it... there is still blues in the form of guys like BB king , SRV (i know he died), eric clapton.
Well this is great! there is still good music around! wooohoo
@ytkoekie2000 Surely you're not calling 40 Days delta blues? This is electrified 1950s Chicago blues. Muddy had his roots in the delta, but his style changed a great deal after he had been in Chicago a few years. Muddy's early records were delta blues, but they gradually evolved into songs like 40 Days.
great music, I love blues music allthought i'm just getting to know it (I started listening to BBking, albert king and than wanderd off to guyz like lightnin hopkins, blind wilie johnson wich are all great artists). But one thing bothers me ,when I am reading comments from youtubers saying that there is no good music anymore in this timeperiod. I think this extremely not true!! try listening to guys like: .... (beeing continued.. =p)
@87Stephon87 African American blues is good, but the current rap and hip-hop being churned out is shite. Blues and Rock are the shit. The Rolling stones are my favorite band, probably, of all time. I at least owe Muddy the thanks for inspiring one of the greatest bands of all time, and Muddy, in my opinion, the best African American Blues artist the world has seen.
I am very worried about todays music I mean really there isnt a person I know who doesnt think that new music is shit and we are like fifteen also look at all the comments. And something else imagine the skill and the talent they had even with the poor recording and sound isolation tech they had back then this still sounds amazing. Man if blues comes that would be awesome
27 year old male in 2010 but man i think i was born in the wrong era cus music nowadays doesnt appeal to me. blues is the roots everything else is just the fruits.
It's crystal clear the guy was imbibed with the blues. Not only great but nurtured talent and influenced many who followed be it direct or indirect. To quote Buddy Guy:
"Damn it if Muddy told me to eat a sandwich, I ate a sandwich"
Far reaching influence that changed the way Blues artists viewed electric blues guitar playing. AMEN Muddy waters.
yeah i agree and in the 7 months since your post it gotten 10 times worse what happened to music that came from the soul? and was made with feeling flowing out of it now it whatever noise u can computer edit and make sound good
this has as much of a skank as early rocksteady, bunny lee and coxsone sure were diggin on this sound... when i think about the trash people listen to these days i just fall to my knees and rot... in 1979 humanity lost all forms of soul
@stewbunny Saying, that humanity lost soul in 1979 is a bit harsh. I think when music is concerned, some of the most soulful music was made during the grunge era of the early 90's. Also, if you look past the Biebers and Gagas, you will find lots of soul nowadays as well.
The reason why the musical landscape of previous decades seems so much better is the fact that all the pointless fads with little depth are forgotten and so, it seems that back then all music was great.
@megafaded69 You pretty much missed my point. I wasn't saying grunge was better or worse than blues, I was saying that for every era there is soul and for every era there is crap. The only thing is that the soul lives on.
There is a movie that came out about a couple of years ago called Cadillac Records...It is "R" rated...Great movie..It is about Chess Records where Muddy Waters and few others first recorded...
Muddy Waters was (damn near) the inventor of electric Delta Blues. It was his sound that made rock and roll what it is today. He inspired the sounds of the Stones.
@BIGMOOT3 There are various titles for most Blues and the areas that they predominate. Trust me, I know more than you think. Electrified Delta Blues would be more under the category of Post Modern Blues. Delta Blues is often in the acoustic vein, therefore adding "Electric" to it, is anti-climatic.
One of the benefits of growing old is having seen things that can no longer be seen. I saw Muddy, red Telecaster and all, several times from the late sixties to the early seventies. If there is a person who was a living bridge between Delta blues and Chicago (electric) blues, it's Muddy Waters. Ain't that a man! So many great nights of blues, but Muddy at Keystone Berkeley, 1971 was one, and Son House in Oceanside, north of San Diego, in 1969, are near the top of the list.
Amplified Harmonica blowing all over vocals and the band, Thank God. Thank you Leonard Chess for not giving a shit, you knew a good thing when you heard it. God bless len R.I.P.
@TheRichard181 Amen, brother. By the time I first saw Muddy (1966), Junior Wells was playing harp, Walter having paid the price for his pain. Junior was amazing, but I don't know if anyone was ever bettter than Little Walter Jacobs. I'm a lucky man- old enough to have seen a lot of these legends, and to want to hear them back in the day. Some other time, my Son House story, the best night of blues I've ever heard. Supernatural. I'd say long live the blues, but they're already immortal.
@TheRichard181 Thats true. And thank Muddy too for pushing Leonard to let Walter do in the studio, what he was doing in the clubs. Historical men...all three.
@cedricleecason Thanks all. You REALLY NEED to check out Sonny Boy Williamson's Little Village!!! You would not believe the intro of the recording LOL. |Sonny and Len Chess havin' words...
You know what I hate? When people type ",,," instead of "...", it just looks retarded. Either change the way you type or reread your shit before posting.
i think this song is half about himself, and half about the bible - when god wanted to cleanse the earth it rained for 40 days and 40 nights

stewbunny 1 year ago
@stewbunny Saying, that humanity lost soul in 1979 is a bit harsh. I think when music is concerned, some of the most soulful music was made during the grunge era of the early 90's. Also, if you look past the Biebers and Gagas, you will find lots of soul nowadays as well.
The reason why the musical landscape of previous decades seems so much better is the fact that all the pointless fads with little depth are forgotten and so, it seems that back then all music was great.

@megafaded69 You pretty much missed my point. I wasn't saying grunge was better or worse than blues, I was saying that for every era there is soul and for every era there is crap. The only thing is that the soul lives on.

Muddy Waters was (damn near) the inventor of electric Delta Blues. It was his sound that made rock and roll what it is today. He inspired the sounds of the Stones.

@BIGMOOT3 There are various titles for most Blues and the areas that they predominate. Trust me, I know more than you think. Electrified Delta Blues would be more under the category of Post Modern Blues. Delta Blues is often in the acoustic vein, therefore adding "Electric" to it, is anti-climatic.

One of the benefits of growing old is having seen things that can no longer be seen. I saw Muddy, red Telecaster and all, several times from the late sixties to the early seventies. If there is a person who was a living bridge between Delta blues and Chicago (electric) blues, it's Muddy Waters. Ain't that a man! So many great nights of blues, but Muddy at Keystone Berkeley, 1971 was one, and Son House in Oceanside, north of San Diego, in 1969, are near the top of the list.

TheRichard181 1 year ago
@TheRichard181 Amen, brother. By the time I first saw Muddy (1966), Junior Wells was playing harp, Walter having paid the price for his pain. Junior was amazing, but I don't know if anyone was ever bettter than Little Walter Jacobs. I'm a lucky man- old enough to have seen a lot of these legends, and to want to hear them back in the day. Some other time, my Son House story, the best night of blues I've ever heard. Supernatural. I'd say long live the blues, but they're already immortal.

@TheRichard181 Thats true. And thank Muddy too for pushing Leonard to let Walter do in the studio, what he was doing in the clubs. Historical men...all three.
