IN THE GIFT SHOP: MUDDY WATERS

McKinley Morganfield, a.k.a. Muddy Waters

Muddy Waters was born in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, and moved to Coahoma County at a young age. He learned to play Delta blues from Son House and Robert Johnson and made his first recording for the Library of Congress in the early 1940's. Soon after, he moved to Chicago to pursue a career in music - taking his Mississippi blues roots and electrifying them to be heard throughout the city and the world. His song, "Rolling Stone/ Catfish Blues" named a magazine and a band. Grab a copy of "Live at Checkerboard Lounge, 1981" to see one of his amazing performances.

Delta Blues Museum uniquely showcases Muddy's story from the early recordings to his international fame. Learn more about Muddy Waters by visiting the Museum or through our online Explore and Learn feature. Our gift shop also offers copies of "Lost Delta Found," the work of the Fisk scholars who documented the music of Coahoma County in the 1940's and "Can't Be Satisfied: the Life and Times of Muddy Waters" by Robert Gordon as well as CD's and other items.

Shop online now through the end of April and get 10% off any "Muddy Merch" with the code MUDDY2023

The Museum appreciates your patronage and support - thank you!
