B. King, and others.

Muddy Waters was never good at doing what he was told. When Grandma Della said the blues wouldn't put food on the table, Muddy didn't listen. And when record producers told him that no one wanted to listen to a country boy playing country blues, Muddy ignored them as well. This tenacious streak carried Muddy from the hardscrabble fields of Mississippi to the smoky juke joints of Chicago and finally to a recording studio where a landmark record was made.

Es war kein richtiges Singen, na ja, eher so Schreien, aber wir machten unsere Songs über Sachen, die uns damals tatsächlich passierten, und ich denke, das war die Zeit, als der Blues begann." (Son House 1965) Es ist heute unumstritten, dass der Blues einen gewaltigen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der modernen Rock- und Popmusik genommen hat.
