Muddy Waters' Folk Singer stands as one of the most intimate and powerful recordings in blues history. Originally released in January 1964 on Chess Records, this stripped-down, all-acoustic album showcases Muddy's commanding presence in its rawest form, with his booming voice given ample room to resonate across tracks like "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and "Feel Like Going Home."
This pressing, part of the Chess Records 75th Anniversary Acoustic Sounds Series, is a must-have for audiophiles and collectors alike. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans directly from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at the legendary Quality Record Pressings (QRP), it is presented in its highly sought-after mono mix and housed in a tip-on gatefold sleeve printed on high-grade board — delivering a listening experience that honors the full depth of this blues masterpiece. The release also includes five bonus tracks recorded in Chicago between 1964 and beyond the original LP's nine tracks.
