"A biography that crackles with as much energy as the great bluesman's
songs." --Ted Drozdowski, Boston Phoenix
The epic, rollicking, up-and-down life of Muddy Waters--who went from
Mississippi farmhand to musical legend, invented electric blues, and
created the template for the rock-and- roll band and its wild
lifestyle--is chronicled with rare vividness in Robert Gordon's widely
praised biography.
