    Ladies and gentlemen this is what we call...

    The troll.

  • Keith Richards himself says it's the song which gave the name to the band in his biography LIFE. But well that was quite accidentally, they were to perform on stage and they were asked what's the name of their band, as they were that time "trying to be the best blues band of London" they were taking a look around them in the room and there was a vinyl of Muddy Watters with this song...

  • It saddens me to think so many generations don't even know who Muddy Waters is, or John Lee Hooker, or Howlin Wolf, or Buddy Guy... They will be missing out on such a huge peice of rock and roll history. I'm 31 and grew up listening to this on my Dads record player. Happy to say my children will understand the BLUES and history of rock! 

  • check out BB Kings version of this

  • @elamite66 and your point is.....?

  • keith and brian and mick were in business

  • @alakhazom you mean robert petway's catfish blues

  • Just awesome. Many people have forgotten have important Muddy Waters has been for the musical development. Possibly the best blues band ever.

  • "A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss" was where the phrase originally came from before Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones were born Muddy Waters song may have also been an influence but it was common phrase long ago especially among black people
