Folk Singer — 1964

A stripped-back, acoustic detour that became a sonic showcase and an audiophile favourite. Intimate and powerful. A different, essential side of Muddy. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.

On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
