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. The Muddy Waters record for listeners ready to go beyond the debut.

On vinyl: First pressings command high prices; a quality reissue will often sound better anyway.
