Rough Trade Essential

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.

At Newport 1960 is a live album by Muddy Waters performed at Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island with his backing band, consisting of Otis Spann (piano, vocals), Pat Hare (guitar), James Cotton (harmonica), Andrew Stevens (bass) and Francis Clay (drums), on July 3. Waters' performances across Europe in the 50s and at Newport helped popularize blues to broader audience, especially to whites. The album is often said to be one of the first blues live albums.
