Muddy Waters Sings Big Bill Broonzy 1960 via Chess
a note about this track

Muddy Waters Transformed The Soul Of The Rural South Into The Sound Of The City, Electrifying The Blues At A Pivotal Point In The Early Postwar Period.. Aside From Robert Johnson, No Single Figure Is More Important In The History And Development Of The Blues Than Waters, Linking The Country Blues Of His Native Mississippi Delta With The Urban Blues That Were Born In Chicago. The Muddy Waters Blues Band Bore All The Earmarks - In Terms Of Size, Volume And Attitude Of The Great Rock And Roll Bands That Would Follow In Its Wake. Waters Remained Active Till The End; McKinley Morganfield Passed On In 1983.
