The 1958 Muddy Waters tour that changed music forever
- April 16, 2024
Music is a fascinating journey through endless possibilities. Numerous pivotal moments in music history have significantly shaped the current creative landscape. Without certain individuals crossing paths, the creation of timeless melodies, the experience of love and heartbreak, and the chance to perform at iconic venues, the beloved songs we cherish today would never have come to be, and the formation of bands would have been an entirely different story.
There was one tour in particular that had a significant impact on the development and progression of rock music. Without it, our trajectory would have been very different. Without this tour, the formation of some of the most influential bands in rock music would not have been possible, potentially altering the course of rock’s global domination .
The tour was Muddy Waters, and it made its way to the UK in 1958. Muddy Waters , also known as McKinley Morganfield , was a trailblazing American blues singer. He played a pivotal role in shaping the genre and introducing R&B to the UK. The way he played was unlike anything blues fans had ever experienced. As a result, audiences nationwide were both astonished and captivated by this unique sound.
The Muddy Waters tour greatly influenced a significant number of individuals, with Alexis Korner and Cyril Davis emerging as prominent figures in the audience. A group formed in the UK, becoming the first-ever blues band in the country. It consisted of some well-known individuals such as Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts , and Jack Bruce .
After spending some time playing in the band and gaining valuable experience, it eventually broke up. However, this breakup turned out to be a crucial stepping stone for what lay ahead. Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts formed The Rolling Stones, while Jack Bruce played a crucial role in the rock band Cream .
The impact of both of these bands is undeniable, as they continue to have a significant presence in the global music scene. However, let’s delve into their influence regardless. The Rolling Stones laid the foundation for rock music, with their vibrant and captivating sound that was impossible to resist. Their influence was undeniable, inspiring countless bands to follow their lead, a legacy that continues to this day.
Cream had a unique edge compared to The Rolling Stones. While both bands were talented musicians, Cream’s intricate sound pushed the boundaries of guitar music. People often regard Disraeli Gears and similar albums as the gold standard for psychedelic rock due to their unmatched riffs, lyricism, and overall imagery.
It’s worth noting that these bands may not have come together if it weren’t for that Muddy Waters tour. Without their formation, the rock genre would have undoubtedly evolved. However, it would have taken on a distinctively different appearance compared to what we see today. This serves as yet another intriguing “ what-if ” scenario in the rich tapestry of music.

British Blues – Articles and Essays – American Blues – The British Tours
American folk blues festival and the british tours (1962-1972).
The American Folk Blues Festival toured Europe as an annual event for several years beginning in 1962. It introduced audiences in Europe, including the UK, to leading blues performers of the day such as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson, most of whom had never previously performed outside the US. The tours attracted substantial media coverage, including TV shows, and contributed to the growth of the audience for blues music in Europe.
German jazz publicist Joachim-Ernst Berendt (See note 1 below) first had the idea of bringing original African-American blues performers to Europe. Jazz had become very popular, and rock and roll was just gaining a foothold, and both genres drew influences directly back to the blues. Berendt thought that European audiences would flock to concert halls to see them in person.
Promoters Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau (See notes 2 & 3 below) brought this idea to reality. By contacting Willie Dixon in Chicago, they were given access to the blues culture of the southern United States. The first festival was held in 1962, and they continued almost annually until 1972, after an eight-year hiatus reviving the festival in 1980 until its final performance in 1985.
According to Mike Rowe’s notes for American Folk-Blues Festival: The British Tours 1963-1966 DVD, Britain was nearly passed over by the tour until Melody Maker magazine and a promoter from Manchester, Paddy McKiernan joined forces with Melody Maker, the pre-eminent UK music paper, and arranged for dates in England.
Performances and audiences
The concerts featured some of the leading blues artists of the 1960s, such as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson, some playing in unique combinations such as T-Bone Walker playing guitar for pianist Memphis Slim, Otis Rush with Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson with Muddy Waters. The Festival DVDs include the only known footage of Little Walter, and rare recordings of John Lee Hooker playing harmonica.
The audience at Manchester in 1962, the first venue for the festival in Britain, included Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones and Jimmy Page. Subsequent attendees at the first London festivals are believed to have also included such influential musicians as Eric Burdon, Eric Clapton, and Steve Winwood. These festivals directly influenced a generation of young British musicians, with new bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds with an interest in blues music already emerging. The festivals were the primary movers in the blues explosion that would lead to the ‘British Invasion’ of the USA.
Sonny Boy Williamson’s visit to London with the 1963 festival led to him spending a year in Europe including recording the Sonny Boy Williamson and The Yardbirds album, (first released on Star-Club Records in 1965), and recording with The Animals.
Blues and Gospel Train
On 7 May 1964, Granada Television broadcast Blues and Gospel Train, a programme directed by John Hamp featuring Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Rev. Gary Davis, Cousin Joe and Otis Spann. For filming, the company transformed the disused Wilbraham Road railway station into “Chorltonville”, giving it the supposed appearance of a southern U.S.-style station. About 200 fans were brought by train to the platform opposite the performers. The performance was interrupted by a rainstorm, after which Tharpe performed the gospel song “Didn’t It Rain”.
Full details are given in the separate article on the Blues and Gospel Train Concert 1964 .
Blues musicians who performed on the American Folk Blues Festival tours included Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, Sippie Wallace, T-Bone Walker, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Memphis Slim, Otis Rush, Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Boyd, Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Willie Dixon, Otis Spann, Big Mama Thornton, Bukka White, Howlin’ Wolf (with a band made up of Sunnyland Slim, Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon and drummer Clifton James), Champion Jack Dupree, Son House, Skip James, Sleepy John Estes, Little Brother Montgomery, Victoria Spivey, J. B. Lenoir, Little Walter, Carey Bell, Louisiana Red, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Joe Turner, Buddy Guy, Magic Sam, Lee Jackson, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Roosevelt Sykes, Doctor Ross, Koko Taylor, Hound Dog Taylor, Archie Edwards,[7] Helen Humes and Sugar Pie DeSanto.

1 Joachim-Ernst Berendt
Joachim-Ernst Berendt was a German music journalist, book author and producer who specialised in jazz. During the Nazi Germany years Berendt took an interest in jazz and after World War II he helped founding the Südwestfunk (SWF) radio network in the then French occupation zone of Germany. From 1950 till his retirement in 1987 he was in charge of the jazz department of the SWF. In 1952 the first German edition of Berendt’s Jazz Book was published. It became a definitive book on jazz translated into many languages and is still being updated and reprinted. For almost 40 years Berendt produced the jazz program of the Baden-Baden station of the German public radio and TV network ARD. His weekly TV show Jazztime Baden-Baden and his daily radio shows were pioneer work in advancing and popularizing jazz in post-war Germany. Berendt later focused on world music and was one of its early promoters. Berendt initiated and organized many jazz festivals (American Folk Blues Festival, Berliner Jazztage, World Expo Osaka). He was the producer of many records, mainly for MPS Records, and supported the Jazz & Lyrik project, combining jazz performances with readings of poetry (not jazz poetry). Berendt’s huge collection of records, books, magazines, photos and more is in the archive of the Jazzinstitut Darmstadt.
2 Horst Lippmann
Horst Lippmann was a German jazz musician, concert promoter, writer and television director. The son of a hotelier, Lippmann played drums in the illegal Frankfurter Hot Club in the 1940s, and wrote for one of the first German jazz magazines, Mitteilungen für Freunde der modernen Tanzmusik (Messages for Friends of Modern Dance Music). After the war he played in the combos of the Hot Club with Günter Boaz. Together with Olaf Hudtwalcker, he was involved in the founding of the German Jazz Federation, and organized and participated in concert tours by the West German jazz clubs. In 1953 he founded the German Jazz Festival at Frankfurt. In the mid-1950s he formed the Lippmann + Rau concert agency with Fritz Rau, and began bringing jazz, blues and rock and roll stars to Germany for the first time. Between 1962 and 1982 he organized the American Folk Blues Festival, performing in England and France as well as Germany and being recorded for television programmes. Lippmann and Rau entered the Blues Hall of Fame in 2012. Lippmann was also known in Germany as a radio personality and as director of television broadcasts.

3 Fritz Rau
Fritz Rau was a German music promoter, who was influential in the development of the appreciation of jazz and blues music in Europe in the 1950s and 1960s, and has been a leading promoter of rock and pop music. After graduating with a degree in law he worked in a law firm in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, while at the same time becoming involved in running a jazz club, Cave 54, in Heidelberg. In December 1955, he organised his first major concert, featuring Albert Mangelsdorff at Heidelberg Town Hall, where his abilities were noticed by concert agent and promoter Horst Lippmann. Lippmann then hired him to help run the Jazz at the Philharmonic tours of Europe arranged by Norman Granz, and they began to work together regularly from 1957. Rau also became concert organiser of the German Jazz Federation. As stated above, in 1962 he and Lippmann established the concert agency “Lippmann + Rau”, and organised the first European tour by the American Folk Blues Festival. Albums by the American Folk Blues Festival artists were also released on Lippmann and Rau’s own Scout and L+R labels. Lippmann and Rau worked together to promote a wide variety of jazz, rock, pop and gospel acts across Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. After Lippmann’s death in 1997, Rau worked as an independent promoter and tour organiser, and also helped establish the Lippmann + Rau Music Archive in Lippmann’s home town of Eisenach. He was nominated to the Blues Hall of Fame in 2012, together with his former business partner Horst Lippmann.
4 Brian Smith
Brian Smith is one of the most prolific photographers of blues artists in Europe, with his photographs, particularly of the British Tours of the American Folk Blues Festivals, being used by publishers and record companies throughout the world. His book “Boom Boom Boom Boom: American Rhythm & Blues In England 1962 – 1966, The Photographs of Brian Smith” will be published soon.
Bibliography:
David Williams grew up in Epsom, Surrey and was a childhood friend of future Led Zeppelin guitar legend, Jimmy Page. Together they discovered what was for them an intriguing and very different kind of music: the blues. As their interest grew into a passion, they befriended other teenage enthusiasts – among them Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards – becoming part of a movement that ultimately brought about the ’60s rock revolution. Part-biography, part-history, “The First Time We Met The Blues” is packed full of great anecdotes and unique insights into the early British blues scene, Page’s formative years as a musician, the beginnings of the Rolling Stones, and much more besides.

by Joe Boyd
When Muddy Waters came to London at the start of the 60s, a kid from Boston called Joe Boyd was his tour manager; when Dylan went electric at the Newport Festival, Joe Boyd was plugging in his guitar; when the summer of love got going, Joe Boyd was running the coolest club in London, the UFO. More than any previous 60s music autobiography, Joe Boyd’s White Bicycles offers the real story of what it was like to be there at the time.
Publishers: Serpent’s Tail (2007)

by Richard Lysons
Richard Lysons’ “meticulously researched tome” will be of interest to anyone who ever attended a concert at the venue or has an interest in the history of popular music in Britain’s most musically important city. Alongside his own expert commentary on every headline act he gives the reader a sense of what was going on at other venues in Manchester.

‘The Folk Singer’ by Muddy Waters is one of the greatest blues albums ever recorded, but far too many have overlooked it.
Published on
It is unquestionably one of the greatest blues albums ever made, including as it does one of the most evocative blues songs recorded during the modern era. Muddy Waters’s The Folk Singer is a tour de force that combines the Delta roots of the man born and raised in Mississippi with the skills he honed in Chicago.
Since first encountering Leonard and Phil Chess in 1947, at their Aristocrat Records studio (the fledgling label that soon matured into Chess Records ), the Delta Blues scene had fizzled to the electrifying bolt of Waters’ gravel-sucking growl, scintillating slide work, and a pulsating stomp boomed by whichever manifestation of his performing band was currently assembled. Compared to the music’s acoustic beginnings, Waters’ interpretation packed the punch of a defibrillator turned up to 11.

Fresh Evidence: Revisiting Rory Gallagher’s Sublime 80s Albums
Little walter: the true king of blues harp, top 10 chicago blues artists.
His re-interpretation of the Delta sound : loud, confident, brash, and seemingly sassy in the face of convention, was a natural magnet for the extrovert youth of the mid-60s. It’s no coincidence that The Rolling Stones would come knocking at his door just a few months after the tapes had stopped rolling for The Folk Singer sessions in September 1963.
While we would never want to do without this scaled-down gem, you’ve got to wonder how taking an unplugged u-turn was supposed to better engender Waters to a young white audience, given that his raw energy provided his major pull. Indeed, during a period when he was becoming known overseas, touring in Germany and the UK, those were the tactics behind the album, and it worked.
Hence the sublime, yet understated, sounds on this great album, which was placed at 280 out of 500 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the greatest albums of all time and released in April 1964. Paring back the amplified instruments has the effect of bringing the Waters’ bellow even further forward of the bass and drums, and one other guitar played by Buddy Guy on all tracks bar the solo “Feel Like Going Home,” which rounds off the album with its consummate lesson in microtonal command and evocative blues delivery.
At the opposite end of the album, the first notes you hear are Waters’ slide whimpering a call, emboldened by Willie Dixon’s gentle-paced bass encouragement, and the reassuringly solid strikes on Clifton James’ snare drum. Bo Diddley ’s drummer here is the master of tasteful minimalism and light-handedness, infrequently breaking into nothing more than a pitter-patter fill. The effect is space – lots of space – in the music to pitch and roll in the thunderous waves of Waters’s voice. It’s some of the loudest quiet music ever made, sounding superb in crisp digital clarity.
Renditions of Waters’s classics, including “Good Morning Little School Girl,” here stripped down to the bare essentials, somehow sound more powerful for it. That slide and voice keeps pulling you in, exerting a hypnotic control. Like being tossed about in the surf, it’s mesmerizing and frightening in equal measures.
Enjoy also the bonus tracks laid down in subsequent sessions: Willie Dixon ‘s “The Same Thing” and Waters’ ode to detachment, “You Can’t Lose What You Never Had.” Superb, even classic songs, but the real magic is in the nine original tracks that make up what some call Muddy Waters’ best album.
The Folk Singer is often overlooked or missed entirely. Whenever it is discovered, it proves to be a revelation.

Muddy Waters: from migrant to music icon
Historian article
- Add to My HA Add to folder Default Folder [New Folder] Add
Matt Jux-Blayney explores the impact of the blues singer Muddy Waters against a backdrop of significant social and racial change in the United States of the mid-twentieth century.
On 3 July 1960, a man from Mississippi was introduced onto the stage of the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island. He was wearing a black suit, white shirt, white tie, and white shoes. His hair was straightened, and set in the ‘conk’ style popular at the time amongst African American men. Onstage, his band was waiting for him, dressed in contrasting white suits. The singer and his band were accustomed to singing in the lively, smoke-filled, nightclubs frequented by the black community of Chicago’s South Side. But here they were in the sunshine, on a Sunday afternoon, playing to an overwhelmingly white, middle-class audience. In 2023, a black singer playing for mixed audiences would not be considered controversial. In the United States of 1960, it was extraordinary. It would not have been permitted in the segregated Southern states, including Mississippi. Support for segregation in the South remained steadfast...

“MUD MORGANFIELD has grown into a superstar on the blues circuit. Certainly, there will be comparisons to his dad, but that can be expected and rightly so. Mud comes as close to the Muddy experience as one can get. He will always pay tribute to his dad with the Chicago blues ensemble sound that Muddy created. But Mud was also brought up musically when soul, Motown and R&B ruled the world. Mud played bass and performed with bands playing the hits of that era. This, along with his blues pedigree, has influenced Mud’s own songwriting skills, which are constantly evolving.” – R I C K K R E H E R (Muddy Waters’ last guitarist, and Mud’s long-time current guitarist!)

Every one of McKinley’s descendants has been anointed with his surname, synonymous with never-ending excellence. Mud Morganfield does what he does best – seamlessly merging a traditional blues sound with twenty-first-century sensibilities. His style’s “classic contemporary,” an oxymoron if there ever was one, but it fits like a glove. With understated crooning and fluid, molten-metal instrumentation, Mud’s blues glows red-hot as Damascus steel being poured in a foundry. It’s hard to be a demigod of any art, but he’s well his way to full canonization. – RANDY WETNIGHT
It’s hard when you are the son of blues royalty. It’s even harder when you are the son of Muddy Waters. No matter how hard you try, you’re never going to be Muddy Waters. So, you have to forge your own path and build your own reputation with your own work. Mud Morganfield has done just that. This soft-spoken, humble man has grown into a giant talent in recent years. –BARRY KERZNER, AMERICAN BLUES SCENE
