i am trying to write a paper about Muddy Waters and I would like to use quotes by famous musicians that were influenced by him. If anybody knows where I might be able to find these it would help me out a great deal.

UK jazz trombonist Chris Barber brought him over to the UK in the 60's so there would be a few in that area.

Hope it helps.

You might do some hunting around on websites dedicated to Johnny Winter, as he produced Muddy's last LPs. The depth of their bond can be intimated by the fact that Johnny was "adopted" by Muddy as his son.

Also, using Google.com or similar search engines, try typing in "Muddy Waters tributes" or variations on the theme. Certainly there are scores of players, famous and otherwise, who acknowledge their debt to Muddy and this might be a way to turn up some of them.

Good luck!
