There are a handful of landmark albums in any genre. In the blues, one of them is Muddy Waters' Folk Singer. Originally released in 1964, Folk Singer was the only acoustic album Waters ever recorded, thus becoming the first and perhaps best blues concept album ever.

A great remaster, one that should be in everyone's collection. Muddy's voice fills the whole room with it powerful resonance. He is truly a master of voice control and this album has been engineered in a manner that brings the man into the room.

Great Package but...

I have Muddy Waters Folk Singer Original Chess Masters pressing that came out in 1987 and it blows away this Classic Records version. If you find the chess masters pressing you'll know what I'm talking about when you hear it, it's like Muddy being in your living room, better mix, and much more energy. I give this release a 4 because of the label and packaging is a 5. The sound a 3. Did they take out all the reverb that glides over to the other channel beautifully?

Muddy's in the house - really, he is!

I don't know if you like blues or not, but this is a pretty incredible reissue LP that was originally recorded in 1964. The separation is beautiful, and the play back is very real. Oh, and the detail is pretty cool. Just listening to his finger work on the guitar is so much fun! You also really get a feel for the air in the room and where this was recorded. I'd consider this a must have if you love blues - spectacular. And if you're a passing blues fan, grab it, too!

PS Is there ambient sound in the recording (yes) or is it whisper quiet (no)? It's a freakin' 1964 Chess Records recording. And this delivers the experience, and puts you right there with Muddy. Really, the movement on the strings of the guitar pops and is just incredible! It just transports you to the tight room shown on the album cover. Enjoy!

Incredible recording

The music on this album is great, a little different that what you would expect from Muddy, but in a good way. The recording is astounding! One of the best I own, right up there with Satchmo Plays King Oliver. This is a must have record.

Hauntingly good

I'm on a jazz kick right now and I have so many beautiful jazz recordings I worried this might go to the back of the line until I came back around to the blues, but I have to say this blew me away from the first note. Captivating from start to finish. So quiet you could hear a pin drop. Intimate and powerful at the same time. I've never heard Muddy Waters sound like this. Incredibly dynamic vocals. Beautiful guitar work. Highly recommended.

Excellent Record

What hasn't been said? Tilts more toward the blues. Just the way I like it. Dead quiet and perfectly mastered.

Amazing Pressing of Must Have Recording

I fell in love with the SACD of this recording a few years ago. Knowing this to be an excellent recording, I chose this title as my first Classic Records Quiex SV-P reissue purchase with high expectations. I always prefer a good lp over anything digital, but this is just breathtaking. It provided me with that "is that really my stereo" experience. I have already added two other Classic Records titles to my collection since.

Very nice

In one word UNBELIEVABLE! In more words, the sound is so fluid and one can hear the room this recording was made in! The vinyl on this LP looks to be of a very high standard, with the weight of a dinner plate. Very highly recommended.

Outstanding recording and performance

One of the most outstanding recordings in any genre, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon made this recording in the early sixties before Blues became fashionable for Yuppies, at least on my system this recording can give you goosebumps and even blow off taking calls or even a leak till you're ready to explode ;-)

a legend doe not live up to hype

Mediocre sound and, personally, I am little underwhelmed by accoustic Muddy Waters.
