This is a MUST in music collection!

Condition:

Detail:
This album, cut in 1963, represented a departure from the electric “urban blues” sound that Muddy had pioneered – an all-acoustic session that illustrated Muddy’s deep-rooted rural blues influences, reminiscent of the sides he made nearly a quarter of a century earlier in Mississippi. Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon also perform.

Album notes
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
Personnel includes: Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar); Buddy Guy, Sammy Lawhorn (guitar); Otis Spann (piano); Willie Dixon (bass); Clifton James, Francis Clay (drums).
Recorded at Tel Mar Recording Studios, Chicago, Illinois in September 1963 and April 1964. Originally released on Chess (1483). Includes liner notes by Bob Schnieders and original release liner notes by Ralph Bass.
"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released.
The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck guitar work. The richness of Muddy's baritone is showcased effectively here, with more room than usual for his voice to resonate.
The low-key setting allows Muddy to explore a fuller dynamic range as well. From the romantic yearning of "Long Distance Call" to the fatalism of the chain gang song "My Captain," Muddy's voice expresses entire worlds of emotion with only subtle dynamic changes. On FOLK SINGER's more downhearted cuts, there's a doomy, ominous quality that rivals the deepest emotional journeys of John Lee Hooker. By scaling down, Muddy managed to make his songs, guitar and voice seem exponentially magnified. Though it's one of his quietest albums, FOLK SINGER screams with naked emotion.
Editorial reviews
...There aren't too many blues albums that qualify as audiophile recordings, but Muddy Waters FOLK SINGER surely does. A wonderfully intimate session, it delivers Waters' voice in all its power and subtlety, while rendering his guitar work...with such vivid realism, you would think you were sitting in the studio....

Recommended.
Mint = Only used for sealed items.
Near Mint = Virtually flawless in every way.
Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.
Please understand that this is a very old record - as such, one cannot expect the record to sound like a brand new, audiophile pressing! Some noise is inevitable - for best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them.
