Big Bill Morganfield
Liane Hansen speaks with Big Bill Morganfield, the  43-year old son of the late blues legend Muddy Waters. This spring, Morganfield  released his first album, called "Rising Son." (Bling Pig Records) Big Bill  flirted with a career in pro basketball, earned two degrees and taught public  school before the death of his father in 1983 prompted him to make a serious  attempt at a career in music. He spent years honing his guitar playing, studying  the best of the Delta and Chicago blues musicians. His recording features  several of his own songs and two of his fathers.
