The Mudcat Café is an online discussion group and song and tune database, which also includes many other features relating to folk music. The website was founded by Max Spiegel as a Blues-oriented discussion site. It was named after a Mississippi Delta region catfish, capable of living in muddy waters. The fish is locally known as a Mudcat, which is where the name of the website is derived from. This region was the birthplace of the American Delta Blues style. Mudcat Café later transitioned from a Blues music forum to a Folk music forum. More information...
