Muddy Waters
   The gypsy woman told his mother that she had a boy child coming and he was going to be a man that everyone would know about. Yes Indeed! She was absolutely correct. McKinley Morganfield, aka Muddy Waters, came into this world and changed the world with his brand of blues. Muddy's gone now but his spirit lives on through his son, Big Bill Morganfield. 
   Welcome to the official site of Big Bill Morganfield. Bill appeared on the blues scene 15 years after the passing of his famous father, McKinley Morganfield, and has been blazing a trail that his father would be extremely proud of. That old saying, "The apple don't fall far from the tree," has been said many times by many different people after attending a Big Bill Morganfield concert. If you ever get the chance to catch one of Big Bill's live concerts, I'm sure you will agree that this young man is the real deal. 
'Slaves Dancing'
    Where did Blues music originate? Most experts agree that Blues Music originated in the deep south. Slavery as brutal as it was is directly responsible for the birth of the blues. Indeed, slaves could be heard singing in the fields as they worked. When they were not working in the fields they would get together, usually on a Friday or Saturday night, for music and fun. This tradition still exist to some degree today.
   We should have a special respect for the old blues guys that carry the torch today. Some of these legends are still with us. B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bobby Rush, Matt Murphy, James Cotton and many others are still touring. These guys are the real deal and deserve a great deal of respect. If you ever have an opportunity to catch them live, by all means. do so! Unfortunately, some of the legends have passed on and cannot be seen in person...can only be heard through their recordings they left behind. We recently lost Pinetop Perkins, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Honey Boy Edwards and Mojo Buford. We are so thankful to have had a chance to witness how great these guys were. Big Bill personally has shared the stage with Pinetop, Willie Smith and Mojo Buford.
