American blues guitarist, singer and composer, Muddy Waters was born on April 4, 1913 in Rolling Fork, Mississippi. He is considered a founder of the modern Chicago Blues style and became the most prominent interpreter of the electric blues. His powerful influence inspired the emergence of electric blues-oriented groups in the UK during the '60s. Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, his legacy continues to shape and define blues music.
Muddy Waters was a father figure to many influential musicians including [a4092559], [a1965346], and [a10232473]. Sadly, one of his children passed away on December 10, 2020 at the age of 56.
Despite some discrepancies regarding his birth year and place, Muddy Waters' impact on music remains undeniable. His talent and contributions have solidified him as an iconic figure in American blues history.

'Unk In Funk', Muddy Waters' 1974 release, saw the Chicago bluesman further building on the electric blues of albums like 'Electric Mud' (1968) and 'After The Rain' (1969). It would be one of the last collections of original material that Waters would record with Chess Records, after a nearly 30-year association with the label. His booming, powerful blues vocals dominate the album's fuzzy, electric orchestration. Overhauled versions of Waters classics like 'Rollin' and Tumblin' and 'Just To Be With You' sound fresh as ever, and newer tracks like 'Katie' and 'Waterboy, Waterboy' are classic and organic additions to Waters' discography. Overlooked and underrated in its time, 'Unk In Funk' is a pinnacle album from Waters' catalog.
