Muddy Waters – Real Folk Blues (Chess Acoustic Sounds Series LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The label copy provided is actually for Howlin' Wolf, not Muddy Waters. I'll write the blurb for the correct product: Muddy Waters' Real Folk Blues. Remastered from the original analog tapes, this 1966 Chess compilation captures Muddy Waters in the raw, electric Chicago style he pioneered after making the journey north from the Mississippi Delta. The tracks here pull from his essential mid-period singles, the recordings that gave rock and roll its spine and handed an entire generation of British Invasion musicians their vocabulary.
In the mid-1960s, Chess Records released a series of The Real Folk Blues albums that compiled singles from the careers of some of it's greatest artists. Howlin' Wolf's The Real Folk Blues combined singles recorded between 1956 and 1965 and is considered one of the best compilations of the Chess series. The music on this record paints a daring portrait of Howlin' Wolf, presenting exceptional music that had not been presented in album format before. Classics on this record include "Killing Floor," "Tail Dragger," and "Built for Comfort." Bring home the sound of America's greatest blues label in high fidelity with the Chess Records Acoustic Sounds Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess 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.
