Chicago Blues
The Chicago blues is a form of blues music that developed in Chicago, Illinois by taking the basic acoustic guitar and harmonica-based Delta blues and adding electrically amplified guitar, amplified bass guitar, drums, piano, and sometimes saxophone, and making the harmonica louder with a microphone and an instrument amplifier. The music developed when poor Black workers did the "Great Migration" from the South into the industrial cities of the North such as Chicago in the first half of the twentieth century.

Chicago Blues has a more extended palette of notes than the standard six-note blues scale; often, notes from the major scale and dominant 9th chords are added, which gives the music a more "jazz feel" whilst still being in the confines of the blues genre. Chicago blues is also known for its heavy rolling bass.

Mannish Boy
Muddy Waters Lyrics
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Everything gonna be alright this mornin'
Now, when I was a young boy
At the age of five
My mother said I was gonna be
The greatest man alive
But now I'm a man
I'm age twenty-one
I want you to believe me, honey
We having lots of fun
I'm a man (yeah)

That represent man
No B
O, child
Y
That spell mannish boy
I'm a man
I'm a full-grown man
I'm a man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie-coochie man
Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my mate
I'm made to move
Come up two hours late
Wasn't that a man?

True story - I heard this for the first time when I was 14 on summer break. The next night, my buddy had a little bonfire at his house with some friends (3 of them were young ladies), when his parents were out of town. I popped this tape into the boom box, and on that same night, I had my very first 40oz of Mickey's, got laid for the first time, the cops got called because we were too loud, and I had to walk my bike home (3 blocks over) at 2am. My Mom was pissed - Dad was trying not to laugh. The next day, the old man came home from work early (before Mom got home), and told me to come out to the patio. He had 2 glasses sitting outside, and he cracked a beer, poured a little in my glass, and dropped a box of rubbers onto the table. He heard me blaring this song in my room, and the general talk was something like this:
Dad: Being a man is not drinking and screwing and getting the cops called on you. Being a man is having to deal with the consequences of your actions, owning up to responsibilities and doing it every day. Did you get some p***y, son?
Me: (hesitantly).......yeah......
Dad: Next time, use these. It's your responsibility. Understood?"
Me: Understood, Dad.
Dad: Good. NOW you're a SMART man. Don't do stupid sh*t, and you'll enjoy life a lot more. Don't let Mom know I gave you some beer. It'll help your headache. Mow the lawn before Mom gets home.
I'll never forget that, or this tune. I've been rock n' roll ever since; and I'm WAY past 21 now, with a family of my own.
Blues; Rock; call it what you want. It's as American as apple pie. Every young man should hear this song. Thank you, Muddy. RIP Dad.

That is none other than Little Walter.
He is playing harp.
Legend has it.
Chess records
Was a family.
They all played on each others sessions.
True fact.
Testimony of Keef.
When the Stones got to visit and record at Chess studio ,
Muddy was not selling any records
So Marshall Chess
Let him paint the walls of the joint to help him out !

Eu sou o primeiro ritmo a formar pretos ricos
O primeiro ritmo que tornou pretos livres
Anel no dedo em cada um dos cinco
Vento na minha cara, eu me sinto vivo
A partir de agora, considero tudo blues
O samba é blues, o rock é blues, o jazz é blues
O funk é blues, o soul é blues
Eu sou Exu do Blues
Tudo que quando era preto, era do demônio
E depois virou branco e foi aceito
Eu vou chamar de Blues
É isso, entenda, Jesus é blues
==========================
I am the first rhythm to form rich blacks
The first rhythm that made blacks free
Ring on the finger on each of the five
Wind in my face, I feel alive
From now on, I consider everything blues
Samba is blues, rock is blues, jazz is blues
Funk is blues, soul is blues
I'm Exu do Blues
All that when it was black, it was the devil's
And then he turned white and was accepted
I'll call it Blues
That's it, understand, Jesus is blues

Muddy Waters granddaughter was in my high school band. She severely underestimated how famous this guy was. Our band director flipped out when she told us.
