Creem Profiles
MUDDY WATERS
(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)
The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.
HOME: Blue Heaven.
AGE: Mannish boy.
PROFESSION: Hoochie Coochie Man.
HOBBIES: Taking care of little red roosters, getting all shook up, getting about as ready as any man can be, the blues.
LAST BOOK READ: Those Guys Stole My Music by Mick Jagger & Eric Burdon.
LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Writing one song that gave the world’s greatest rock band its name, the world’s greatest rock poet a song, and a national rock magazine its title.
QUOTE: “Got my mojo working...but it just don’t work on you!”
PROFILE: Making like a rollin’ stone, Muddy left his Mississippi home for the windy city and home of the blues. The rest is, as they say, musical history. Every time Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter or a host of others plug into the blues, they owe a debt to the first and the last of the great Chicago blues legends.
BEER: Boy Howdy!
