Muddy Waters – Folk Singer (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in 1963 with an intimate small-group setting that stripped Muddy back to acoustic guitar alongside Willie Dixon on bass and harmonica players Clifton James and Buddy Guy, Folk Singer stands apart from nearly everything else in the Chess catalog. It was a deliberate artistic statement, not a commercial calculation, capturing the raw Delta soul that had traveled north from Mississippi and seeded an entire generation of electric rock and blues.
Rock n' roll starts here. Assembled in 1958 and opening with the incendiary 1955 title track, Bo Diddley is an essential overview of the rock pioneer's earliest singles - foundational recordings that laid the groundwork for an entire genre. The 12 tracks collected here, including "I'm A Man," "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Pretty Thing," and other classics built around the instantly recognizable Bo Diddley beat, continue to inspire nearly 70 years later. Bring home the sound of America's greatest blues label in high fidelity with the Chess Acoustic Sounds Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess Records discography are remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP). Each disc is packaged in tip-on gatefold sleeves printed on high-grade board.
