    Muddy Waters granddaughter was in my high school band. She severely underestimated how famous this guy was. Our band director flipped out when she told us.

      This is actually quite common, when it's your family you humanize them. Or get all these stories "your grandfather used to sing the blues like no other" As a kid you'll just think, "oh great...(old people music, yuck)" and maybe think it's redundant.

    I think what makes this song so special is how raw it is. The guitar and harmonica are mixed perfectly to where they sound like one instrument. Muddy Waters’ voice gruffly hums over this kick ass instrumental while this guy is screaming his brain out in the background. This whole song sounds like he just walked into a bar and is performing it as everyone starts rioting. Timeless song.

It was not known if Muddy could ever play guitar or perform again. Then this came roaring out in the middle of a radio broadcast and I knew both Muddy and I were going to be OK. Damn this is great.

I get that Mr. Waters made stirring music, but I didn't think that a Black Man singing about the indignity of being called a "boy" would, you know, be your flavor of Mint Julep.

    My favorite blues song of all time. The vibe is visceral, soulful and sexy. 🔥 The groove is pounding and hypnotic (Yes, it's repetitive, but there is joy in repetition). Muddy's vocal delivery is deliciously guttural. I just love the reactions from the "audience" -- WOO! YEAH! etc. They add so much to the primal quality of the performance.
