About Muddy Waters - Folk Singer
Muddy Waters started out playing acoustic blues in the Delta, and it shows on this return to his roots, designed to appeal to the mid-1960s surge of interest in folk music. The back of the CD includes a photo of Waters with bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon, as well as a very young Buddy Guy, gathered around a single microphone. This particular CD reissue includes five bonus tracks, among which are "The Same Thing" and "Short Dress Woman," which take advantage of the longer CD running time. All of the other reasons to hear this one remain--Waters's strong, confident voice, the relaxed smoothness of the material, and the surprisingly clean recording, made even cleaner by the digital remastering. --Genevieve Williams Amazon.com

| |  | The Best Unplugged Album! |  |
This is one of my alltime favorite blues albums. It is an acoustic album and Muddy shines in this format. The only thing I didn't care for on this version were the five bonus tracks. They just don't fit the vibe of the original version. On the other hand, it's some additional Muddy Waters for no extra cost! Get this album and you won't be disappointed.
July 1, 2008A top rate blues album. One of my favorites, it gets at least weekly listens if not daily.
June 19, 2008I found this in my friends cd collection, threw it on, noticed it had willie dixon, one of my all time faves, on stand up bass. It blew my mind!what a discovery. never had heard this before somehow altho i love blues. and have seen specials on muddy. get this immediately. stop everything you are doing right now and buy this lp. it is simply one of the best blues lps of all time. beautifully restored remastered in the 99 pressing. gold pure gold.
April 6, 2007What a great blues album! I just received it in the mail, and this is one of those CD's that exceeds all expectations. First, I was floored by the sound quality - hi-res with beaucoups of air and a realistic soundstage. As I continued through the disc, it became obvious that this CD belongs on a short list of the best blues albums ever made because the performances were also incredible! No folk songs here - it's all acoustic blues with Willie Dixon on bass and Buddy Guy on guitar accompanying Muddy. The bonus tracks are all keepers too. This is absolutely essential blues, and music for the ages.
February 13, 2007This is a wonderful CD, it has several alternate takes of songs that we've all heard versions of, which I find very interesting. One of the most interesting qualities of blues music is that the performers rarely play the song the same way twice, that's what makes it exciting. Definitely a good CD for you collection!
