In 1958, he traveled to England, laying the foundations of the resurgence of interest in the blues there.

These songs included ' Hoochie Coochie Man,' ' I Just Want to Make Love to You' and ' I'm Ready'. In the early 1950s, Muddy Waters and his band- Little Walter Jacobs on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Elga Edmonds (also known as Elgin Evans) on drums and Otis Spann on piano-recorded several blues classics, some with the bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon. In 1946, he recorded his first records for Columbia Records and then for Aristocrat Records, a newly formed label run by brothers Leonard and Phil Chess. In 1943, he moved to Chicago to become a full-time professional musician. He was recorded in Mississippi by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1941. Muddy Waters grew up on Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, Mississippi, and by age 17 was playing the guitar and the harmonica, emulating local blues artists Son House and Robert Johnson.

His style of playing has been described as 'raining down Delta beatitude'. McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), known professionally as Muddy Waters, was an American blues singer and musician who was an important figure in the post-World War II blues scene, and is often cited as the 'father of modern Chicago blues'.
