REVIEW

"Folk Singer" has been an audiophile staple for years

It always gets a bunch of play at hi-fi shows

It's a no-doubter demonstration disc

But never before has it sounded like this! Never has it been cut at 45rpm!

There are a handful of landmark albums in any genre

In the blues, one of them is Muddy Waters' "Folk Singer"

Originally released in 1964, "Folk Singer" was the only acoustic album Waters ever recorded, thus becoming the first and perhaps best blues concept album ever

Muddy of course started out playing acoustic blues in the Delta, and he's clearly very comfortable in this return to his roots

Which was designed to appeal to the mid-1960s surge of interest in folk music

Muddy's supporting cast includes a very young Buddy Guy on guitar, Willie Dixon at the upright bass and Clifton James on drums

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