Muddy Waters is Chicago blues. When he came up from Mississippi in the ‘40s, he brought the Delta blues with him and electrified it both literally and figuratively, adding the industrial vibe of the Windy City to come up with searing stompers like “(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man” and “Mannish Boy”. Muddy could sound like sadness personified (the moody, mournful “I Feel Like Going Home”) or come off like a fire-breathing force of nature (the rowdy “I'm Ready”), but whichever way he worked his mojo, he was the undeniable king of the Chicago sound.
