About this title: From the observation in its opening pages that sharecropping, with its inequitable distribution of wealth, was good training for the music business, Robert Gordon's biography CAN'T BE SATISFIED demonstrates that the great blues musician Muddy Waters' background was inseparable from his music. Waters' Mississippi origins, the de facto slavery, and ...

"I watched Cadillac Records and found the story it told too superficial and Hollywood; I wanted to know the real story of Muddy Waters and the history of the blues. This book was perfect for that. Every part of the movie gave only a glimpse - sometimes that glimpse was out of focus and sometimes it was grossly oversimplified.
Can't Be Satisfied fills in all the details. You learn about Muddy's original success and his second coming. You learn real stories about what blues musicians he was the role model for and what rock musicians he influenced. It was great to see how much time he had in his later years to receive the fame and admiration of younger more famous stars that found their sound through him (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, etc).
The book is well written, and through the story of Muddy Waters (aka McKinley Morganfield) tells the history of the blues."
"Very well written and researched. It bogs down at the end with accounts of tours, which is not that interesting. But this is the definitive account of Muddy Water's life."
