2/05/26 - "A Chapter in the History of the Blues: Muddy Waters"
Hosts: Kevin Purcell & Road Bill
This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill and Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell present a special history episode dedicated to one of the most important figures in American music. Muddy Waters. In this chapter of the blues, the guys trace the journey of a Delta sharecropper who plugged in, turned the volume up, and changed the sound of the world.
From his early acoustic recordings to the electric Chicago blues that helped shape rock and roll, Muddy Waters’ music tells the story of migration, amplification, and raw emotional truth. Through curated song blocks and on-air commentary, this episode explores how Muddy bridged the Delta and the city, influencing generations of artists on both sides of the Atlantic.
Featuring essential recordings including Country Blues, Rollin’ and Tumblin’, I Can’t Be Satisfied, Rollin’ Stone, Mannish Boy, and Got My Mojo Working, Episode 57 is both a listening session and a lesson in blues history.
Punch your ticket, take your seat on the Big Bus, and join us as The Bus Stop Blues dives deep into the life, legacy, and lasting impact of Muddy Waters.
