Muddy Waters is one of the true icons of the blues. From his childhood in rural 1910's Mississippi to his place at the forefront of the Chicago blues scene, Waters was a first class musician and a profound influence on the electric guitar music that came after him. When the Blues started to peter out in the United States, the first wave of British rock and roll musicians saw Muddy Waters and a primary influence, and were more than happy to collaborate with him on stage and in recordings. Till the day he died, Waters was plugged into popular music, even if he was no longer the driving force behind the newest style. There's a lot more to learn about this 20th century icon. Here's the untold truth of Muddy Waters.
