What to expect
“A biography that crackles with as much energy as the great bluesman’s songs.” —Ted Drozdowski, Boston Phoenix
The epic, rollicking, up-and-down life of Muddy Waters—who went from Mississippi farmhand to musical legend, invented electric blues, and created the template for the rock-and- roll band and its wild lifestyle—is chronicled with rare vividness in Robert Gordon’s widely praised biography.
Critics Review
-
“A brisk account of Waters’s journey from the cotton fields of Mississippi to the clubs of Chicago and beyond. . . . With this entertaining and important book, Robert Gordon has made sure that future generations will never forget the original rolling stone.”
—John Freeman, Minneapolis Star Tribune -
“Compelling... Can’t Be Satisfied is a biography that reads like a great suspense novel.”
—Jeff Johnson, Chicago Sun-Times -
“Gordon tells the tale with deeply researched hellaciousness; he doesn’t let Muddy off the hook for bad behavior, and he nails the sound of men beating on the devil with guitars.”
—Ty Burr, Entertainment Weekly -
“Not only a penetrating portrait of the man but also a biography of the blues itself... Superb.”
—Austin American-Statesman
