The second, The Rough Guide To Chicago Blues, follows the blues as it leaves its roots in the Mississippi Delta to make an impact in Chicago. Pioneered by a new breed of blues musician who transformed the blues, using electric guitars and employing small combos that included both drums and an amplified harmonica, resulting in a much more modern sonic profile. A number of pioneering blues performers came to the city such as Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie and unarguably the Chicago blues most influential figure, Muddy Waters, who arrived in 1943.
