Muddy Waters
Manish Boy b/w Young Fashioned Ways (reissue)
third man
Intended as the sequel to Muddy Waters’ and Willie Dixon’s 1954 hit 'Hootchie Cootchie Man' and simultaneously as the response to Bo Diddley’s 1955 groover 'I’m A Man', the A-side 'Manish Boy' itself has since become a blues standard, covered by anyone from Erykah Badu to The Band.
