In 1943, Muddy Waters moved from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, where he formed the first significant electric blues band. By 1951, his group included guitarist Jimmy Rogers, harmonica prodigy Little Walter Jacobs, and pianist Otis Spann. Waters's blend of rural blues with modern amplification profoundly influenced a generation of British rock guitarists, including the Rolling Stones, named after Waters's song "Rollin' Stone." This guitar was the primary instrument used by Waters from 1958 until his death in 1983. |
