Stovall Farms and Muddy's Mound 6/22/07



Outside of Clarksdale, down through the cotton fields of Stovall Farms is the former site of Muddy Waters' famous cabin. We had seen the reconstructed cabin inside of the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale. On the cabin site is a historic marker telling the story of Muddy Waters' life and influence on music. Muddy Waters' song "Rollin' Stone" gave The Rolling Stones and the magazine their names. On the marker is Eric Clapton's quote, "Muddy Waters' music changed my life, and whether you know it or not, it probably changed yours too."
