The Absolute Sound 40th Anniversary Best Sounding Music!
Out Of Print! Only 1 Copy Left!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 282/500!
TAS Recommended! Rated a 'Best Audiophile Label Recording' in the November 2009 issue of The Absolute Sound!
Folk Singer represents a departure from the electric 'urban' blues sound that Muddy Waters pioneered. It is an all-acoustic collection of recordings that illustrates his deep-rooted rural blues influences, reminiscent of the sides he made nearly twenty-five years prior in Mississippi. This release features McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) on vocals and guitar, supported by the great Buddy Guy on guitar, blues legend Willie Dixon on bass and Clifton James on occasional drums.
"Worried that the folk-music fad was luring listeners away from the blues, Chess Records directed Waters to record with acoustic instruments. These sessions — by Waters, Willie Dixon and a young Buddy Guy — went astonishingly well, and this pioneering "unplugged" set is beloved by blues and folk fans alike." - rollingstone
