Description

With its roots in the Mississippi Delta, the Chicago blues exploded onto the scene in the late 1940s as an electrified and souped-up brand of blues. This Rough Guide features many pioneering artists including Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter, whose influence helped shape the future of rock music.

The “classic” Chicago blues sound developed during the 1940s and 50s on the back of the great migration of African Americans from the rural Southern states to the industrial cities of the north. Along with the huge numbers of agricultural workers who came to Chicago in search of a better life and steady work, this veritable river of people enticed a number of pioneering blues performers to the city such as Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie and unarguably the Chicago blues most influential figure, Muddy Waters, who arrived in 1943.
