The rural South was a hotbed for the blues in the '20sand ‘30s, andyoung Muddy became entranced with the music when he discovered a neighbor had a phonograph and recordsby the likes ofBlind Lemon Jefferson, Lonnie Johnson, and Tampa Red.As Muddy became more deeply immersed in the blues, he took up the harmonica he was performing locally at parties andfishfries by the age of 13, sometimes with guitarist Scott Bohanner, who lived and worked in Stovall.
