Muddy Waters – The Real Folk Blues (Acoustic Sounds)

Description

Chess Records’ The Real Folk Blues series was crafted to appeal to the growing “folk music craze” of the 1960s. Muddy Waters’ The Real Folk Blues was the very first release of this series and featured some of his earliest recordings, including his first recording for Artistocrat (the predecessor to Chess). The early material on this record captures the sound of early blues before it entered its electric era. Songs like “Mannish Boy,” “Walking Blues,” and “Walking In The Park” remind listeners of Muddy Waters’ impact on the sound of America.
