Muddy Waters is possibly the most renowned artist of the entire Chicago Blues scene. As a performer he was responsible for some of the genre’s greatest classics such as “Hoochie Coochie Man”, “I Just Want to Make Love to You” and “I’m Ready”. These songs were however written by Willie Dixon, who was responsible for penning most of the hits in the Chicago scene. Water’s song writing however should not be overlooked. This episode is dedicated to the man as a songwriter first and foremost. You will hear songs either entirely written or adapted by Muddy Waters, performed by him or by other artists.
