Muddy Waters – “Mannish Boy”

This Muddy Waters song is an absolute classic. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. See the Rolling Stones and The Band videos at the end of this post.

It was one of the first blues songs when I learned how to play guitar. Of course, I was like 12 at the time, and I definitely thought I was an M. A. N. And everytime I hear it I think back to my first guitar teacher. John the “Buzzard Man”.

Some songs change over time. This song has stayed exactly the same over the years, and for good reason. It is perfect as is.

This first clip is from “Muddy Waters In Concert 1971″

This next video is from the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1974.

With The Band in the 1978 Martin Scorsese Film “The Last Waltz.” Stay tuned for my full review of this DVD.

The Rolling Stones and Muddy Waters in 1981. The Rolling Stones got their name from another Muddy Waters song, “Rock ‘n Roll”
