This classic blues song is an affirmation of masculinity. It's a reworking of the Bo Diddley song "I'm A Man."
Muddy Waters originally recorded this in 1955, then re-recorded it in 1977 for his Hard Again album in a version produced by Johnny Winter.
The repetitive guitar line is easy to play, but very memorable. Waters used the same basic riff on his song "Hoochie Coochie Man." This riff appears on many other blues songs in both the five-note and a shortened four-note version. George Thorogood used it for his song "Bad To The Bone."
