For blues lovers it doesn't' get much better than this!

I swear, this is standard

[@paulsalazar858]

Muddy Mississippi Waters.

[@lisaweaver986]

He's a king inspiring's!

[@MegaLotusEater]

Yeah it does. OGs like Muddy Waters set the agenda, but cats like Stevie Ray Vaughn took blues to a whole new level

[@blackberry9013]

Absolutely💕💕💕

[@JoseMendoza-dl4hg]

He just rocked your soul with one chord. That's a real man!

[@Stiglr]

See, Muddy was so BAD, he ain't NEED but the one chord!!!! Ain't *that* a man?

[@gabriel-]

He was the coolest cat in the blues game

[@williamj6974]

Powerful song with a deeper meaning in the deep south when those men grew up they watched and heard the men in their communities referred to as BOYS and their was nothing they could do because of the blinding oppression of people of African descent in America with the jim crow laws in the south, those early blues men set themselves free with their music and used it to tell the world I'm MAN I spell M-A-N NO B-O-Y and made the WORLD tap their feet and recognize them

[@lorenzonepi9813]

yeah, long live the blues and the entire black community!

Great song, Love Muddy Waters!

[@stockbrokermikel]

Raw as fuck! It's funny because, in my opinion, southern rap feels like this. Think about lil boosie, trick daddy, outcast etc. Nothing against the other counts but, to me, the south coast (I love them all) speaks a different kind of truth.

RIP to my old man. I’ll never forget the day he picked me up from school (drunk of course), this song blasting out of his trucks shitty radio speakers. “This is the blues” he said. Hooked since.

[@s.k.sandles7005]

Muddy' s letting the folks know he's 50 feet tall, bullet-proof and badder than Superman!!

[@blackonepac]

Right on

[@keithclark486]

Nobody has and never will be as bad as Superman. I saw him change the rotation of the world by flying around it. I saw it on tv as a kid. You can look it up if you don't believe me.

[@Jamminmotorking]

This kicks so much ass!

[@slownoman]

I had the honor of seeing Muddy Waters (aka McKinley Morganfield) several times- in 67/68, and then again in 72/73. Willie Dixon on the bass. Blues as honest as it gets. Well, I did see Son House in 1969, and that, brothers and sisters, is serious roots music.

[@teamcriptic6457]

This man is a phenomenon- the man defines the blues. If this song don’t hit ya deep in your soul you’re not alive

[@StevenFordrockabillycat]

If you like Rock n Roll you have to thank these class blues singers.Thanks uploader for this cool share,Muddy Waters was a great blues icon.

[@jwholland73]

Amen. For exhibit A, listen to this song and AC-DC Whole Lotta Rosie back to back and tell me there is no influence.

Thank You Lord for sharing Muddy with us down here on earth....

One of THE top Muddy Waters Songs.The people that try to imitate Muddy only make caricatures of themselves.

[@manuelwheeler5254]

From where it all started. Blues is the beginning of rock and hip-hop. Without the blues, music wouldn't be what it is

[@emriederek]

Who doesn't know this sound of Chicago, came up from the delta, now it's world wide...rest in peace Mr. Morganfield!

[@ronstlouis2745]

"Now when I was a young boy, at the age of 5. My mama said I'm gonna be the greatest man alive..." She was damn right! Born on a slave plantation and he changed the sound of modern music forever. The great Muddy Waters

In 1962 June I was in Vancouver visiting my Mom [summer visitation]; Mom went to the bingo tent and my older brother guided me to this teen-tent. I was 5 to 10 feet from this "Muddy Waters" for a good long time. That's what made me change form piano lessons to guitar lessons.

The best version to me by far. Salute Mr. Waters

My mother and I used to looooove this song. We had such fun dissecting the lyrics. We said Muddy Waters was sho nuff a MAN if he could make the moon come up late, and who is Little John the Conkaroo? RIP Mama.
