3. Mannish Boy – Muddy Waters

The “father of modern Chicago Blues” recorded this spectacularly bluesy and gritty song in 1955, releasing it on the album titled “Hard Again”. The track was a commercial success and Muddy Waters would perform it almost 30 years later at the Chicago Fest in 1981, as well as with the Rolling Stones at the Checkerboard Lounge in 2012.
