William "Big Bill" Morganfield (born June 19, 1956)[1] is an American blues singer and guitarist.

[1] He did not begin playing music seriously until after his father's death in 1983, and then spent six years studying guitar.

[2] A well-received performance with Lonnie Mack at Atlanta's Center Stage convinced Morganfield that his career move was a good one, but dissatisfied with his craft, he returned to studying traditional blues forms and songwriting while continuing work as a teacher.

[2] The album was recorded in Chicago, and featured Paul Oscher, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, and Pinetop Perkins.

[2] In 2009, Morganfield released the album Born Lover, produced by Bob Margolin and Brian Bisesi.

Tours in Spain that band member Max Drake accompanied him on were particularly popular, due to the legacy connection to Waters.
