Muddy Waters’ Delta roots stretch deep into the heart of his son Joseph “Mojo” Morganfield’s powerful vocals on his new single “Good to be King." DNA and a childhood of experiences from the heart of the Chicago blues scene pour out his legacy in Mojo’s latest single.

Mojo, the only son Muddy raised, grew up in and around Chicago with the father of the Chicago Blues. Muddy Waters gave Mojo his first guitar backstage at one of his concerts. Raised with the same Mississippi country values to which Muddy held firm, even after decades in Chicago, Mojo’s talent took a backseat while he worked to provide for his own children. Now he is doing what comes naturally and returning to his music.

Mojo can’t help but carry on his father’s sound, “elemental and deep…sound no one else could make” according to Rolling Stone’s Obituary of a Blues Legend. Muddy’s sound influenced many greats, placing Mojo in the company of Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, and so many others.

Some of Muddy’s colleagues stepped into the recording studio to help Mojo launch his musical career and this powerful new single, "Good to be King.” Billy Branch on harp and Rick Kreher on guitar extend the hand Muddy once offered each of them. Ronnie Brooks, son of another member of Muddy’s circle, Lonnie Brooks, laid spectacular tracks for this single as well. Even first-generation bluesman Brother John Kattke‘s work on the piano emanates that legendary feel.

@1953Boogie: There is nothing to cut tracks are separate. There is an EP with 4 tracks and a single with one track, and it's Flac file. What is your problem ?
