Happy Birthday To Muddy Waters

go Muddy Waters influenced multiple generations of British and American blues giants, there is no denying his place as a key bridge between Mississippi blues and the electrification of the blues opening up a whole new generation influencing everyone from the King’s to today’s stars such as Gary Clark Jr, the Vaughan Brothers, Joe Bonamassa and Eric Clapton.
