Editing Muddy Waters discography (section)

== Singles ==
Muddy Waters's first 78 rpm record in 1941 listed him using his birth name, McKinley Morganfield. The late 1940s–mid-1950s record releases by [[Aristocrat Records]] and [[Chess Records]] sometimes used "Muddy Waters and His Guitar" as well as Muddy Waters. From the late 1950s on, he is identified as Muddy Waters.{{sfn|Wight|Rothwell|1991|pp=37–52}}
