George Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone" was a total homage to "Mannish Boy". Also, Angus Young of AC/DC considered Muddy Waters his biggest influence, so remember that when you play any AC/DC.

[@SpiderMcGee]

Bo Diddley co-wrote this song and appeared in Thorogood's video for "Bad to the Bone".

[@brenthenderson3983]

And Aerosmith's Joe Perry.. and countless others.😀.

[@fastecp1]

They need to play some more George Thorogood, I think Bad To The Bone is the only song they have played by him, "I Drink Alone" is a good one

[@jdw5678]

Keith Richards also said Muddy Waters was his primary influence. This song came long before Bad to the Bone.

@@willasacco9898 Actually this riff came from Willie Dixon's Hoochie Coochie Man. Bo Diddley used it In "I'm a Man" then cowrote this with Muddy Waters, who wanted it to be an answer song to the Bo Diddley song. Not considered a ripoff though. It was part of the folk/blues tradition to borrow both musical and lyrical phrases from other songs.

[@XaviClot]

Try to watch Muddy singing this song with The Rolling Stones. No words necessary. They looked delighted as kids listening to their wall poster idol. Priceless. By the way, The Rolling Stones admired him so much that their own name comes from a Muddy's song.

[@craigblakes5499]

From the cotton fields in Mississippi to one of the fathers of Rock and Roll. Muddy laid the foundation for many artists to come

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You"!!! He's a defining artist in Blues and big influence for early rock and roll artists!! Singer/guitarist. edit- I'd explain Hoochie Coochie, but this is a family channel!!

[@bbb462cid]

How about Muddy with Little Walter and Bo Diddley?

[@JPMadden]

(This message is for Jay and Amber, not a reply to your comment specifically.) In this song, Muddy repeatedly shouts "I'm a man!" He is bragging about his popularity and prowess with women, and also protesting how some white people in the old days called every black man a boy.

[@jbstonesfan]

Thanks to Muddy we have bands like the Stones . A true legend and “ Mannish Boy”.

[@stevejette2329]

jbs - Yes. The Stones loved him. He performed this at the "Last Waltz" for The Band's final concert.

[@kenharness7430]

The line "I'm a rolling stone" was the inspiration for the Rolling Stones' name.

I saw Muddy Waters in a small club in Lawrence, Kansas in 1974. This recording really captures the feeling of that show. Folks shouting out as they were moved, suggesting verses, great fun!!

I believe that's Johnny Winters yelling in the background

[@jeanstrickland2445]

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

Johnny produced and played on this album. There was a Johnny Winter album Nothing But The Blues I think, and a James Cotton album out of these sessions as well. James Cotton on harmonica. This has to be one of the greatest studio sessions ever.

[@wtk6069]

It sounded like the original recording that blew up this song was done live in a small club like that instead of a studio. The one with the female backup singers hollering out almost orgasmically after every "mannish boy," but that bit got dropped later probably because it kind of distracted from the famous riff.

[@KarenMcGehee]

Harmonica, drums, shouting, soulful, jazzy blues!!! I. LOVE. THIS.

[@willowthegood9035]

You finally listened to blues royalty. Muddy influenced most the artists you have admired. Mannish Boy - 1955, Bad to the Bone - 1982.

[@WilliamPerry_TX]

Toss in another name that belongs in this blues story Willlie Dixon He BTW wrote Mannish Boy (If my history is correct he's playing bass on the original) Willie Dixon has been called “the poet laureate of the blues” and “the father of modern Chicago Blues.” He was indisputably the pre-eminent blues songwriter ...

[@simontemplar3359]

Muddy definitely came first. He was one of the early Chicago electric players. His whole catalog is worth listening to. PLEASE check out Muddy's tune "Got my Mojo Working." Amazing. Also Albert king is great - born under a bad sign . Classic. This is a wonderful rabbit hole to go down, but it has to be said: without these old blues players, rock and roll and everything after would never have happened. These guys are so important! Oh yeah and also John Lee Hooker: One Bourbon One Scotch And One Beer is well worth listening to!

[@DakotaBorn-111]

Two generations, two of the masters of the blues. Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter. Johnny produced and recorded in backup to Muddy in the mid 70's.

"Blues is the roots. Everything else is the fruits." - Muddy Waters

[@erickrodelius9009]

That’s a Willie Dixon quote.

[@jackgilchrist]

Muddy is an absolute blues legend, a Mississippi Delta bluesman who went to Chicago and was pivotal in the development of Chicago blues. That was when he went electric, to be heard in the rowdy Chicago clubs. He is possibly the greatest influence on rock of all the old bluesmen. The Rolling Stones took their name from one of his tunes. All of the blues based British bands of the 60s/70s were majorly inspired and influenced by him. Many of the old members of his band are themselves well known blues legends, like Willie Dixon and Little Walter. He toured England in the 50s and sparked the electric blues over there. Audiences were used to acoustic blues, then Muddy showed up and plugged in his amp and wailed. Lol. Imagine the shock.

[@mjohnson801]

The real father of rock n roll. It could be argued that Muddy's album "Rolling Stone" (the band named themselves after this album), could be argued to be the first rock n roll album.

Muddy Waters came first. His first recording of this song was in 1955. Worth listening to the original, too, which isn't live, BTW. Far ahead of its time He is one of the two or three greatest blues artists of the electric blues. The Rolling Stones named himself after a lyric in the song "I'm a rolling stone ..."

I spent a couple years down in Clarksdale MS and thats where Muddy is from..they have his childhood log cabin inside the Delta Blues Museum...ZZ Top visited that cabin on Stovall Plantation to visit his birthplace and the roof had been blown off...they picked up a plank from the roof, took it back to Dallas and had it made into a guitar...they toured with it for a year then after moving the cabin into the museum they donated it to the museum...its in the cabin with the story and the Muddy Waters tribute display. So many great Blues artists are from that area...Robert Johnson, Sun House, Howling Wolf, many more You can hear the Blues 7 days a week in Clarksdale. Go find Cristone "Kingfish " Ingram...hes a Clarksdale native I first heard at 10 when he was playing in the Delta Blues Museum Band...

[@DR_DOOM_3298]

This version you are listening to is Muddy's re-recording of his own hit song & is from the 1977 album Hard Again, but he originally recorded & had a hit with it in 1955 on Chess Records. Chess was THE Chicago Blues label & also released Chuck berry's early records. This is definitely long before Bad To The Bone. Muddy had a string of hits from 1948 to 1957 & The Rolling Stones took their name from his song "Rolling Stone" some of his other big hits are, I Can't Be Satisfied, Rollin' & Tumblin', Got My Mojo Working, Hoochie Coochie Man, I Just Want To Make Love To You, I Can't Be Satisfied, You Shook Me, Good Morning Little School Girl. Thanks to the English rock bands re-introducuing their music to a new audience Muddy & many other blues artist of the 40's and 50's gained attention & hand a second acts to their careers in the 60's & 70's. Muddiy's songs were covered by many artists like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Fogaht, to name a few. Some other classic Blues artist to check out are Robert Johnson (Crossroad Blues, Love In Vain, Stop Breaking Down, Sweet Home Chicago), Howlin' Wolf (Smokestack Lightning, Killing Floor), Elmore James (Dust My Broom, It Hurts Me Too), John Lee Hooker (Boom, Boom, Boom, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer), Freddie King (Goin' Down), Albert King (Born Under A Bad Sign), Son House (Death Letter Blues), B.B. King ( The Thrill Is Gone, Hummingbird, Caldonia), Willie Dixon (Spoonful, Back Door Man, I Can't quit You Babe, Bring It On Home, Little Red Rooster)

Sister Rosetta Tharpe! Respect!!

[@sanzoftatooine]

"M-A child-N, No B-O child-Y" Muddy (given name: Mckinley Morganfield) originally cut this in the 50s. But this version, from 1977 (on the awesomely-titled album Hard Again), I consider to be the definitive version. It was produced by Texas blues guitarist Johnny Winter (Edgar Winter's brother). Johnny is one of the guys doing the "yeahs" in the background. This is much more powerful than the 50s version largely due to the instrumentation Johnny brought in, and the "live in the studio" feel." Muddy's voice had also matured by this point into that characteristic growl. You gotta check out "Baby, Please Don't Go," "Rollin' Stone" (yes, that's where The Stones got their name), "Rollin' and Tumblin'," and "Got My Mojo Working."

[@geoffewertz8129]

In 1986, Muddy Waters' original "Mannish Boy" was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame "Classics of Blues Recordings" category. It was also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll".[ "Mannish Boy" is ranked number 425 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

[@izzonj]

Trivia: "I'm a rollin' stone". That's a call back to Muddy Waters' first single, "Rollin' Stone," which was an adaptation of a Mississippi blues sing from the 1920s. A copy of that song was found by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards when they were trying to find a name for their new band. I had the honor of hearing Mississippi Muddy Waters in concert when I was in college. It was wild the way he held the crowd!

[@thejorgeee]

Muddy Waters and other original blues men like John Lee Hooker were LOVED by the bands we know from the British Invasion...before they were famous. Remember that blues was original to USA...a melting pot of different styles of music and it goes back to early 1900s. The British bands would ask the sailors to pick up blues albums when they were in the US. I saw a great picture of Long John Baldry with a Beatle and a Rolling Stone before they were famous, standing around the docks with albums in their hand. You would be surprised how many huge hits by British bands were old American Blues songs. The Who did it a lot, The Stones as well...how do you think the Animals ever heard of the House of the Rising Sun in New Orleans. Usually when asking the British Bands what they were going to do first time in America you hear them say... find Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker. Great videos online of the Stones for example sitting in a small clubs and get up on stage to sing with Muddy GREAT STUFF!

[@thejorgeee]

Saw Muddy live a few times in a small club back in the 70s. His wife (also road manager) was a lot larger then Muddy. :)

[@bluesdog645]

So much I have to say about THIS song and this BLUESMAN! I thought I knew the Blues through Jimi Hendrix. I went to a record shop in NYC and asked for a recording by McKinley Morganfield (the writer’s name on a song I liked). The record store owner laughed and said “Oh you want Muddy Waters!” He handed me this album. I told it home and it opened with this. I immediately realized I had never heard the Blues before this. BTW, the screamer and guitarist on this track is Johnny Winter. He produced this album. And yes, Muddy is one of the originals. He was already an elder statesman of the Blues when this was recorded in the mid-70s.

[@ed.z.]

The Rolling Stones named themselves after Muddy Waters' 1950 song "Rollin' Stone". Jimi Hendrix recalled that "I first heard him as a little boy and it scared me to death". The band Cream covered "Rollin' and Tumblin'" on their 1966 debut album, Fresh Cream. Eric Clapton was a big fan of Muddy Waters while growing up, and his music influenced Clapton's music career. "Rollin' and Tumblin'" was also covered by Canned Heat at the Monterey Pop Festival and later adapted by Bob Dylan on his album Modern Times. One of Led Zeppelin's biggest hits, "Whole Lotta Love", has its lyrics heavily influenced by the Muddy Waters hit "You Need Love" (written by Willie Dixon). "Hoochie Coochie Man", was covered by Allman Brothers Band, Humble Pie, Steppenwolf, Supertramp and Fear. In 1993, Paul Rodgers released the album Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters, on which he covered a number of his songs, including "Louisiana Blues", "Rollin' Stone", "(I'm your) Hoochie Coochie Man" and "I'm Ready" in collaboration with guitarists such as Gary Moore, Brian May and Jeff Beck. Angus Young, of the rock group AC/DC, has cited Muddy as one of his influences. The AC/DC song title "You Shook Me All Night Long" came from lyrics of the Muddy Waters song "You Shook Me", written by Willie Dixon and J. B. Lenoir. (Wikipedia)

Legend has it Johnny Winters was at his record company and an old man was doing janitorial work and Johnny asked who he was and it turned out to be Muddy. Johnny decided then and there to get muddy back in the studio and this is what came of it. He did something very similar with Sonny Terry. Both albums are stellar.

[@guitarzan5328]

I'm glad you chose this recording of *Muddy Waters'* "Mannish Boy". This is the 1977 version from his album _Hard Again._ He first did it in 1955. While I am all about the originals, I actually enjoy the remake a lot better. Especially at the finish where he and his band are laughing and hollering... now _that_ is a group who enjoys doing what they're doing.

[@larryairgood4320]

"Risky Business" (1983) was Tom Cruise's breakout movie that turned him into a star at age 21. The soundtrack includes Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock And Roll", Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight", and Muddy Waters's "Mannish Boy". So obviously you need to see "Risky Business".

He's calling the tour "Buddy Guy Damn Right Farewell Tour". He will be in Tulsa, OK, on March 9. You will be blown away if you get a chance to see him. Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and many of the British Invasion rockers mined the catalogues of Muddy, Wolf, Hooker, Johnson and Bassist/songwriter Willy Dixon and others to get their careers started. Clapton recorded and album of Robert Johnson's songs titled: "Me and Mr. Johnson" homage to Robert. 🎸😎

McKinley Morganfield (AKA Muddy Waters) was born in the Mississippi Delta... was a tractor driver on a cotton plantation, & learned to play blues in the local juke joints... moved to Chicago in the '40s, along w many Black people in search of 'a better life up North'... got a contract at Chess Records, a startup record company in those days run by a Jewish business named Leonard Chess, who signed many of the Bluesmen we now regard as legendary- Howlin' Wolf (Chester Burnett), Chuck Berry (who was influential in early R&R), Jimmy Rogers, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Little Walter, & a host of others... during the '60s there was a musical phenomenon called 'The British Invasion', which introduced American youth to that new sound, personified by The Beatles & The Rolling Stones as well as other bands, many of whom had grown up listening to American Blues artists from records brought to England by military service personnel who'd been to the US... these bands reintroduced American Blues to American youth, most of whom had been unaware of that music before!!

40 years in the newspaper business...an interview with Muddy Waters in his new suburban home late in his career was and still is the highlight of my time in journalism.

[@sheilameyers152]

Those guitars make me Holla! “Mannish Boy” is something else!😎😎! Muddy Waters keeps that water muddy! Owww!

[@rockzhard2009]

Muddy's version of this song is one of the greatest recordings ever. Muddy been around forever.

[@alana8863]

Brilliant song! Like so many others, I got into Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and all the great blues players through listening to the Stones, Led Zep, early Fleetwood Mac, etc. I wanted to know who these original guys were who inspired so much great rock music, and discovered this vast treasure of blues that goes back to the beginning of the twentieth century. There are so many great songs on this album - do try out 'Crosseyed Cat'. Love and happiness from England.

This is Muddy Waters near the end of his life redecorating some of his greatest songs with his then current band with producer guitarist and Texan Johnny Winter. This is either 1976 or 1978. He died in 1983. This song was originally done by Muddy in the mid-1950s. The lyrics inckude titles of his other songs like Rolling Stone and Hoochie Kootxhue Man. (Ladies man). Check Howling Wolf. Check Willie Dixon - "Back Door Man", blurs greatest writer, and the bassist and band leader of the Chess Records house band. He plays on most of the 1950s Chess blues records plus all thec1950s Chuck Berry hits.

Muddy Waters was born way way down south in Mississippi in 1913 and was one of the founders of electric blues music playing in the Chicago clubs from the mid 1940s along with Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter... He saw and learned his craft from the originators like Charley Patton, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Tampa Red...The band here is a mix of his old Chi buddies like James Cotton hrmc, Pinetop Perkins pno, Willie " Big Eyes " Smith drms, younger cats Charlie Calmese bs, Bob Margolin gtr and the ever amazin Johnny Winter on guitar leads and shouts. Winter got him to record a bunch of LP's on his label Blue Sky, revived his career and got him paid too. Thorogood has his thing but it can't compare to Muddy, and that's the truth.

[@cshubs]

Try Johnny Winter's solo stuff. He was an unusual looking man who killed it on guitar!

[@geraldarsenault275]

albino

[@brineb58]

This version came out way back when I was in college!!! This is a later recording featuring the whitest boy ever on guitar, Johnny Winter (he was an albino) he is also the guy screaming in the back... the original goes back to the 50s!!! This is the blues I grew up on!!! Definitely look up Muddy Waters ... the Rolling Stones are named after one of his songs!!! You should look up Elmore James ... he's my favorite blues voice and guitar player!!!@

[@michaelb3945]

Yes, Muddy Waters is one of the original Chicago blues artists. He recorded for Chess Records in Chicago and was one of the influential artists for The Rolling Stones. The Stones ended up recording a couple of their early albums at Chess Studios. Mannish Boy was recorded by Muddy Waters early in his career. The Johnny Winter produced albums later on were mostly incredible remakes of earlier songs. That’s Johnny screaming in the background. Check out I Want To Be Loved from the same album.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here...Love Love Love the Chicago Blues..MUDDY WATERS is an AMERICAN LEGEND and ICON...SONG STILL GIVES ME CHILLS !!🙏

[@rickpetersen1745]

Muddy is one of the Granddaddy's of American Blues. I had the Great Pleasure of seeing him along with BB King, John Lee Hocker, Sonny Boy Williams, Paul Butterfield at an all night Blues concert in the early 80s. The venue was so intermit that you could grab a piece of floor 5 feet from the profromers. Great Summer night spent with a special Lady Friend.

[@kendrap-LvnHppnss6371]

This is one of the best blues song on record!!! 😁 ZZ Hill, BB King, Denise LaSalle, Millie Jackson and Albert King "Born Under A Bad Sign" is a good one to react.

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

"I'm Ready" is a great Muddy Waters song for those times that you feel... well... ...ready.

[@rpmfla]

When I was 18 my parents divorced and my Mom and I moved into a new rental house in a new town in a new state. When we were moving in I discovered a few record albums on a high shelf in the back of my bedroom closet. The 3 that I can recall were Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends, Fats Waller's Ain't Misbehavin', and Muddy Waters' Hard Again. How lucky can a young boy get!? I'd heard some Simon and Garfunkel hits on the radio but that album was amazing. I'd never heard any of the other two artists and they just blew my mind. Just the best of the best!

[@konniestaabmiller472]

A man walks in a bar...my husband...in Portland Oregon. He had no idea what he was walking into. It was BB King...doing his own Thang and also playing Muddy Waters. My husband is a musician so this was one of his greatest moments of his life.

[@wsmccallum5069]

I discovered Muddy Waters as a teenager in 1981, around the time he was releasing this and other dynamite albums with his last line-up, featuring Johnny Winter. I was onto listening to his early Chess recordings by the time he died in 1983 and was really sad about his death. Many years later I got my hands on a CD of the first field recordings of him playing country blues on an acoustic guitar - it's all good stuff!

[@AmericanShia786]

The original Mannish Boy was recorded by Muddy Waters in 1955 for Chess Records as response to Bo Diddley's song I'm a Man. George Thorogood recorded Bad to the Bone in the early 1980s. Hoochie-Coochie Man was bassist Willie Dixon's song recorded by Muddy Waters on Chess in 1954. I Just Wanna Make Love To You is yet another Muddy Waters recording on Chess from the 1950s, and the remake by British band Foghat in the middle 1970s. Once again, I request that you react to one Dave Clark Five song. They were the first British Invasion band to hit immediately after the Beatles in 1964 with Glad All Over, Bits and Pieces, and Do You Love Me on their first Album. Over and Over was Number #1 in 1965. Because was #3 and Any Way You Want It was remade by KISS in 1975. Mike Smith, the organist with the Dave Clark Five, was the real star and vocalist of the band. Dave Clark played drums. Just react to one song by the Dave Clark Five. That's my request.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

You guys need to understand that Muddy Waters is on the Mount Rushmore of blues -- a great American original, a master of the genre. The word legendary gets thrown a lot nowadays, but it applies to Muddy. So glad you've gotten a taste of his work.

[@541walker]

Another great one by Muddy is 'Got My Mojo Workin' (But it just don't work on you)'.

[@mattjohn4731]

Muddy was one of the Rolling Stones top inspirations. There is a film of them joining him in the 70's

[@stevesilva2780]

Wasn't their name "Rolling Stones" literally derived from the lyrics of this?

[@howardhales6325]

@@stevesilva2780 Actually it was from another of his songs called "the Rollin' Stone Blues." The Stones were given their chance to headline the club where they'd been playing and needed a name to put on the marquee. Brian had just seconds to come up with a name and took it from the back of a Muddy Waters album.

[@joiedevivre2005]

Muddy Waters is truly a legend in every sense of the word! I'd also suggest his songs "Baby, Please Don't Go (Down to New Orleans)"- my personal favorite, "Got My Mojo Workin",, "I'm a Man", "Rollin' Stone", "The Blues Had a Baby & They Named It Rock & Roll" "Louisiana Blues" &"Hoochie Coochie Man"- to start. Mostly likely the bass player for Muddy on that song was Mac Arnold who hails from my neck of the woods in the Piedmont region of SC (home of the Piedmont Blues). Y'all should also check out Howlin' Wolf -another blues legend & contemporary of Muddy. I'd suggest his songs "Evil" "Goin' Down Slow" "A'int Superstitious" "Killing Floor" (that was covered by Led Zepplin), "Smokestack Lightening" "The Red Rooster" (that was covered by The Rolling Stones), "Back Door Man", "Moanin' At Midnight" & "Howlin' for My Darling"- just to start. And if you want to hear a young up& coming artist who has that "old blues" sound y'all should listen to Marcus King. I'd recommend "Dyin'" "Goodbye Carolina", "Wildflowers & Wine" & "Homestick" to start.

[@kevinparker2375]

Muddy was one of the greats! George Thorogood did "Bad to the Bone" which was sort of an homage to "Mannish Boy". Blues songs get recycled and repackaged across their history. Buddy Guy was Muddy's protégé and told him on his death bed "Buddy...keep the blues alive" (as told by Buddy Guy). Buddy still puts on a FANTASTIC show (go see him if you get a chance).

[@williamsherman1089]

This is the shit right here when it comes to the Blues! Great vid kids 👍

[@LaptopLarry330]

This song was originally recorded in the 1950s, but this is a remake recorded in 1977. When Chess Records stopped recording and selling new albums and singles in 1975, Muddy Waters was basically starting all over again. During World War II, Muddy Waters was a session musician for Columbia Records in Chicago. He also recorded some solo demo recordings that were never released until many years later. After the war, Waters was let go by Columbia Records. In 1977, Columbia Records was not going to make that same mistake again. They signed Muddy Waters to a recording contract, with Johnny Winter’s Blue Sky Records label selling his singles. Waters and Winter were working hard to make Muddy Waters’ music relevant again. This remake of “Mannish Boy” was on Muddy Waters’ 1977 comeback album, “Hard Again”.

[@bigbow62]

You wonder if this came first... ("before Bad to the Bone") Yes.... a few decades Muddy Waters is the reason there are so many great bands and blues tunes, a true legend ! This is especially true for the UK bands who took our old blues tunes and rockafied them and shot them back in our faces, over the years I've heard so many artists give thanks to Muddy Waters ✌️🙂

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

When blues was common in the states, it wasn't commercially popular. Later the British discovered American blues and went crazy over it and it HEAVILY influenced the British invasion. Then the Blues became popular in the states, many years after it originally happened here as a musical movement.
