I am eighty five year old white woman and have adored muddy waters voice since a young girl in Chicago.. rhythm personified!

[@bobcharles1204]

I was lucky enough to see Muddy Waters open for Eric Clapton back in the late 70's. We didn't know who he was at the time, but once Clapton started playing, all we could say was bring back the old blues guy!

[@lesliedavis2185]

I was lucky enough to see him live in the 70’s. An amazing artist.

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

my nan used to live near chess records, and she told me about this one time muddy stumbled into her house on accident, drunk as hell, took one look at her and said "sorry maam, didnt realise id stumbled into the whore house" she slapped him sober with a backhand and he apologised for it, week later, he brings a guitar in and says "here, for your young boy, as an apology" i learned to play guitar on that old gibson acoustic he gave her

[@RogerDidierM.]

Muddy Waters has been influential to the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and many other rock bands that started in the 60's and early 70's. Without him many great songs written by these bands wouldn't even have the light of day. So let's be thankful.

[@BrapMan]

This music shaped the sound of Rock for the next 15 years or so.. and as someone who's preferred music is Rock between 1965-72 I much appreciate what Mudddy gave us (Animals, Stones, Zep, Doors, Hendrix, et al)

[@dannymoore6886]

I saw Muddy a couple of times at the end of his career. Once at the Chicago Blues Festival and once in Indianapolis. When I saw him in Indy The Allman Brothers Band opened for him.

[@Uncle_T]

He most definitely has an iconic voice and all the "messy" bits most definitely work for him and his style. And his guitar playing isn't half bad either. 😉

[@jayalexander1930]

The absolute king,muddy was just incredible,no one better Beth,thank you

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

I would just like to say that listening to Scottish accents is like listening to music. In fact during the Scottish Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century when Scots were going down to London for business the English would complain that the Scots didn't speak English, they SANG it! I saw Muddy Waters a couple of times in the mid-sixties so I can attest to the power of his music but for a slow blues number I would recommend Fleetwood Mac live in Boston in 1970[volume one of the CD set] doing "Jumping at Shadows" for a great vocal and and the most emotionally compelling blues guitar solo I've ever heard.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

He had great musicians in his band over the years.

[@64north20west]

Those top blues artists had several strenghts, including how to slowly emphasize a passage to dramatic effect. They also made each performance have unexpected twists that makes the crowd want to hear yet another rendition of the same piece. Thanks for your great analysis.

[@daviemcf]

I visited Chicago in 1995 for the bluesfest where I bought a CD of some of his lesser known songs...one of the songs started with the lyrics " On the twelve day of April in the year 1951" my birthday....muself playing blues I nearly died. lol

[@margett__]

I’ve been recently diving deeper into the world of blues, so the timing is perfect ❤ Muddy is power, he is one of a kind and his random vocal bits are masterful ✨ Another blues vocalist who is unmatched in my opinion is Skip James, if you’re interested in continuing your exploration of blues music. Never heard anything close to what Skip James sounds like. All the old school blues musicians are masters in their own right, once you start exploring the exciting world of blues you won’t be able to stop.

[@richardhoner7842]

Muddy is a Mississippi Delta guy. Never sings a song the same way. His voice is always recognizable. Per usual, Beth sort of steals the show. In a very good way. Thanks for the analysis :)

[@dennismason3740]

Born McKinley Morganfield from Mississippi, U.S.A. Johnny Winter single-handedly (with Muddy I guess double-handedly?) revitalized Muddy's career with Hard Again in 73? Muddy took his acoustic guitar to Chicago and switched to electric.

[@Godbooteringword]

Thank you for this reaction. Be blessed.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Saw Muddy Waters at the Royal Festival Hall in 1969 and he was playing this Guild guitar so it was likely around this time. Absolutely magnificent. For pure pleasure you should check out the first, so-called 'plantation' solo recordings and his set from the Newport Festival in 1960. Apart from anything else this and the Newport recordings have everything in the right place - the drummer up the back subtly pushing and pulling and keeping time and the voice at the front telling the story with everything else in between.

[@jasonbean2764]

[@John12321]

Well, when you explore the bluessingers you may not forget the greatest of them all: Son House. When talking he almost whispers, but when he starts singing....the blues comes right out of the deepest of his soul. He was amazing. There are several good clips with him on KZbin.

[@paulsmallriver6066]

Story needs to be told please.

[@SouthCarolinaPicker]

.. Our band had a long scheduled gig at a venue in LouisvilleKY .. When we arrived for load-in, the owner told us that MrMorganfield (and band) were also booked for that night and asked if we were OK with MrM (and band) taking our spot and using our PA gear .. Without hesitation, we said "Yes, Indeed" .. We were able to met him a couple of hours later .. Before and between shows, we sat and talked about his love of Cadillacs and champagne; along with many other subjects.. We blitzed through three bottles of DomPerignon and two bottles of PiperHeidsieck (he and our band, that is.. He didn't allow his guys to join in; didn't want them to get too drunk to perform).. He kept asking me to call him "Muddy" .. There was no way in Hell I was gonna do that! What a memory .. What a night!

[@florsanroman1827]

Love, love, LOVE Muddy Waters. Thank you so much for this! 💕 The guitar solos in blues often sound like they're talking and here I can just imagine the confrontation between man and woman being hashed out! Muddy has the quintessential Delta (as in Mississippi) sound, but another master from the same area was John Lee Hooker, who developed the Talking Blues style that made his songs as much a complete story as they were masterworks of music. Check him out if you haven't! 🥰

[@carolmartin4413]

If you were a boomer living in the upper Midwest...you knew the music of Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and Son House to name a few. Must have been something in the Mississippi water to birth the creators of delta blues.

Hey Beth, I saw your Kansas (my favorite band) video and I was so glad you reacted to them to say the least. I was wondering if you could please react to journey From Mariabronn by Kansas? You liked Steve Walsh's voice from the last video, but that was when he was past his prime. The one from journey From Mariabronn IS in his prime and I guarantee you it'll be the best vocal performance you will ever hear from a rock tenor, hands down. Many regard Walsh to be progressive rock's best ever vocalist and I think you will agree as well once you react to him singing. His voice is just so soulful, clear, has range, and powerful. it'll blow your socks off.

Perhaps you want a video performance, rather than audio BUT there are plenty of much better Muddy Waters performances that you could have chosen such as : Rolling Stone, Still A Fool, Louisiana Blues, oh and for later stuff, his I Got A Rich Man’s Woman gives some REALLY cool vocals. I’m also surprised you didn’t mention Muddy’s awesome piano player, Otis Spann. If you haven’t already, you should really check out Howling Wolf (eg. “Color and Kind”, “Evil” & “Who Will Be Next” - and check out Otis Spann’s wicked piano playing, on them, “Moaning at Midnight” (vocals AND his harmonica playing is awesome!) & I’ll Be Around” is ferocious awesome ! You should also check out Elmore James : “Done Somebody Wrong”, “It Hurts Me Too”, “Mean Mistreatin’ Mama” & “Sunnyland Train” & “Goodbye Baby”. I’d really love for you to have a listen to my suggestions. Love from Edinburgh !

[@squidkid2]

This video is important for the guitar playing as well. This is an early more traditional form of blues guitar but even though this looks like it's from the early sixties Muddy Waters had a big influence on the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and later on you hear his style in Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Nice one again, Beth. Muddy was a fine vocalist and slide guitarist. but most importantly, a great bandleader and seminal figure regarded as the 'father' of electrified Chicago blues. The Rolling Stones named their band after a song of his. First time I saw Muddy, he was blissed out on champagne and reefer, to the detriment of the music.. Second time, it was a matinee performance and I was sitting less than two metres away. Unforgettable. Thanks for this, bonnie lass. Trying to identify the young white harpist. Paul Butterfield? Albert Hammond? Charlie Musselwhite? Anyone help?
