Muddy Waters - Folk Singer Album

Muddy Waters returns to his roots in Delta blues, with the Folk Singer album, which capitalized on the 1960s resurgence in interest in folk music. This is a largely an acoustic album with Muddy backed by bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon, as well as a very young Buddy Guy on electric..The influence of this album could be felt not only the blues world, but through every other style of music. Numerous artists since have called this one of their greatest influences, and to listen to it as a whole (very important) is to know why. Waters has a strong, confident voice and the grooves are relaxed and smooth. In fact this material reflects absolute blues perfection.
