MUDDY WATERS Folk Singer (Mono) (Chess Records 75th Anniversary Series limited edition 9-track LP all-analogue mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. Originally released in 1964, Folk Singer occupies a singular place in Muddy Waters' catalogue as the only acoustic album he ever recorded. Presented here in its original mono form, it strips the music back to voice, guitar and direct, unembellished interplay, reconnecting Waters with the Delta-rooted feel at the centre of his sound. The intimacy of the recording is part of what gives the album its force, with performances that feel close, deliberate and deeply assured throughout. Recorded at a moment when Chess was responding to the rising folk revival, Folk Singer became far more than a simple acoustic exercise. With support from Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy, Waters delivers a set that has come to be regarded as one of the most important acoustic blues albums of its era. Presented inside a tip-on gatefold sleeve with original cover artwork, hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended)
