McKinley Morganfield's gift for hypnotic guitar playing and powerful singing took him from the cotton fields of Mississippi to widespread acclaim and a secure place among rock-and-roll royalty. In this extensive history, his energy and determination dominate the narrative, which provides details of his life and a gripping portrait of the world he conquered with his talent. Narrating this moving biography, Grammy-winning blues musician Keb' Mo' may fall short of delivering a pro-level performance, but he knows Muddy Waters's life and times from his own experience as a hardworking veteran on the blues circuit. This, along with his palpable reverence for the blues and rock-and-roll pioneer, makes this audiobook an engaging window onto Muddy Waters's talent, grit, and place in American music history.
