. Making music together bring this recording to life as never before. It's by far the best sounding and most engaging version yet... analog lovers will be in hog heaven." — Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound,

Muddy Waters' legendary 1964 Chess release Folk Singer is hands down the most deliberated 'true audiophile' blues recording in existence. With fine support from Buddy Guy on guitar, Otis Spann on piano, Willie Dixon at the upright and contributions from drummer Clifton James, it's not surprising, and the fact that Folk Singer was Waters' only acoustic album just adds to its significance in the blues canon. Ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time.'

Folk Singer represents a departure from the electric 'urban' blues sound that Muddy Waters pioneered. This all-acoustic collection of recordings 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 a very young Buddy Guy on guitar, blues legend Willie Dixon on upright bass and Clifton James on occasional drums.

This recording has enormous presence with ample room for Muddy's booming voice to resonate.

"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." -

Yet at the same time, the sound is sweet, liquid and free of harshness and edge.
The dynamics are mind-boggling
