Description

A number of Blues artists exerted a huge influence on the development of modern popular music, collectively characterizing the approach to amplified music in the late 1940s and early '50s. The single most influential one was undoubtedly Muddy Waters. From 1948 until 1955 he pioneered and guided the way, in style, substance and sound, eloquently defining the aggressive, swaggering, Delta-rooted sound with his declamatory vocals and piercing slide-guitar attack, releasing a great number of groundbreaking and timeless, classic records. His inspired and fundamental music continues to reverberate as excitingly and forcefully through the music of today as it did 50 years ago.

A fine cast of Blues musicians turns out to pay tribute to the King of the Blues, including Muddy’s very own son, Bill Morganfield. This All-Star Tribute to legend Muddy Waters, is the critically acclaimed show, filmed at John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington D.C.
