Listening Assignment No. 7

Welcome to a new term of Listening Assignments!  This week, we're listening to one of the Bluesmen who pioneered the use of electric guitar in the Blues, Muddy Waters.  The song we will be listening to is Hoochie Coochie Man.  This song was written by the great Willie Dixon and recorded by Muddy Waters in 1954.  It was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1984.
