MUDDY WATERS 110TH BIRTHDAY BLUES JAM
A night of the Blues celebrating Muddy Waters on his 110th Birthday. Muddy Waters or Mud Morganfield? It’s almost impossible to tell. Of course, nothing would please Mud more than hearing people say he sounds just like his late father “Muddy Waters”. Joining Mud will be Bob Stroger, John Primer, and Rick Kreher. Bob Stroger, 93 years young, has played with EVERY major Blues artist in Chicago. John Primer and Rick Kreher were in Muddy Waters band for 4 years before Muddy’s passing. An historic show that can’t be missed!

ABOUT THE ARTIST
“MUD MORGANFIELD has grown into a superstar on the blues circuit. Certainly, there will be comparisons to his dad, but that can be expected and rightly so. Mud comes as close to the Muddy experience as one can get. He will always pay tribute to his dad with the Chicago blues ensemble sound that Muddy created. But Mud was also brought up musically when soul, Motown and R&B ruled the world. Mud played bass and performed with bands playing the hits of that era. This, along with his blues pedigree, has influenced Mud’s own songwriting skills, which are constantly evolving.” – RICK KREHER
PORTRAIT offers fourteen powerful numbers by Muddy Waters’ eldest son, Mud Morganfield, including two previously unreleased songs. Mud appears surrounded by a constellation of first-rate blues musicians. All tracks have been remastered especially for this first Mud Morganfield album on Delmark Records.
