Description

Folk Singer is an acoustic album by Muddy Waters, produced by Chess Records during the early 1960s folk-blues revival. Stripped of the electric band that defined his Chicago sound, Waters performs with just Buddy Guy on acoustic guitar and Willie Dixon on bass, returning to the acoustic Delta blues of his youth.

The result is one of Waters's most intimate and beautiful recordings. My Home Is in the Delta anchors the album to its Mississippi roots. Good Morning Little School Girl is given a gentle, almost tender reading. You Gonna Need My Help and Long Distance showcase Waters's ability to command attention with nothing more than his voice and an acoustic guitar. The album's sparse, warm production makes it an audiophile favourite.
