Synopsis:
Muddy Waters is truly a blues legend too great to be defined: a singer of awesome power and authority, a songwriter of dozens of blues classics and a slide-guitar master whose piercing tone influenced all who followed. Muddy Waters Classic Concerts, spanning seventeen years, captures Muddy in three legendary performances, proving why he was and still is the King of the Blues.
