Suggested Listening April 4, 2025

Linda Reimer

Hi everyone, welcome to our Suggested Listening posting for this week!

Suggested Listening postings are published on Fridays; and our next Suggested Listening posting will be out on Friday, April 11, 2025.

–

This week our musical spotlight is on a single musician, Muddy Waters, who was born Mckinley Morganfield on April 4, in Rolling Fork, Mississippi; there is some discrepancy over whether he was born in 1913 or 1915, although recent research suggested the 1913 date, is in fact the correct one; in any case, today is the anniversary of his birth.

He began playing guitar as a youth, was nicknamed “Muddy” by his grandmother as a child, moved to Chicago in 1943, became one of the pillars of the post-war electric blues scene, influencing countless other musicians and guitarists and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with its first class, in 1987.

To put it succinctly, his influence on blues, soul and rock & roll is incalculable!

Hi everyone, taking a week of vacation the first week in March, combined with a busy month in Library Land, and I just didn’t quite get to publishing streaming recommendations for March on the first of the month, sorry about that!
