How well do you know the music of Muddy Waters’ gritty “The Blues Had a Baby” ties rock to its blues roots with raw energy, while Willie Dixon’s “You Shook Me,” reimagined by Led Zeppelin and Jeff Beck, brims with slide guitar intensity. Howlin’ Wolf’s “Evil” growls with menace, and Junior Wells’ “Hoodoo Man Blues” captures Chicago blues with smoky harmonica. Taj Mahal and Gregg Allman invigorate “Statesboro Blues” in a spirited tribute.? Take our 12-track quiz.
