Muddy's "unplugged" album was cut in September of 1963 and still sounds fresh and vital today. It was Muddy simply returning to his original style on a plain acoustic guitar in a well-tuned room with Willie Dixon on string bass, Clifton James on drums, and Buddy Guy on second acoustic guitar. The nine tracks are divvied up between full rhythm section treatments with Buddy and Muddy as a duo and the final track, "Feel Like Going Home," which Waters approaches solo. Folk Singer offers both sides of Muddy from the early '60s.

 

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY THE LATE, GREAT CUB KODA, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

 

Simply one of the top-10 Greatest Blues Albums ever recorded, PERIOD!! (We would even say one of the top-5); right up there with Howlin Wolf’s “Rockin Chair” album; Lightnin’ Hopkins’ “Lightnin’ and the Blues”, Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Down and Out Blues”, Jimmy Reed’s “Rockin’ with Reed”, Little Walter’s “Best of”, Elmore James’ “The sky is crying”, Albert King’s “Born Under the Bad Sign”, BB King’s “Live at the Regal” or Lonnie Johnson’s “Ballads and Blues” or Freddie King’s “Hideaway”. Nectar and ambrosia for the Blues ears.

 

And, finally, if this is of any relevance (and we do not claim that it is) "The Best of Muddy Waters"" is an important  entry in ►. Other entries on our top-15 list (in no particular order) include Otis Redding, Love, Sam Cooke,  Can, Tim Buckley, Byrds, James Carr,  Stooges, Five Royales,  Everly Brothers, Bob Marley and the Wailers and  Richard and Linda Thompson and others)

·       CONDITION:

 

·       RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted below, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the normal room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)          The record comes in a hi-grade PVC inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

 

(c)             The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(d)          In addition, the record is pressed on a beautiful, virgin-grade vinyl, which is usually used for audiophile, extended-dynamic-range, half-speed mastered and connoisseur pressings.

 

(e)           The album comes with two (2) original Classic records marketing inserts/mailers (please see the attached images)

 

(f)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
