Our Take

MUDDY WATERS' Folk Singer? More like Folk Slinger, am I right? This album is a bonafide classic, a real one-two punch of soul-stirring blues and toe-tapping folk that will have you grooving in your seat faster than you can say "slide guitar". Muddy Waters' gravelly vocals are as smooth as a fine whiskey, guiding you through tales of heartbreak, longing, and the occasional hootenanny.

The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with the harmonica wailing like a banshee on tracks like "My Home Is In the Delta" and the guitar picking as nimble as a squirrel on a sugar high on "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl". Each song is a miniature masterpiece, painting a vivid picture of life in the Mississippi Delta with all the soul and swagger that only a true blues legend like Muddy Waters can muster.

So dust off your old record player, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Muddy Waters take you on a journey through the heart of American music with Folk Singer. It's a wild ride, and one that you won't soon forget. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie, because this album is a barnstormer from start to finish. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Folk Singer is a true gem in the rough and a testament to the enduring power of the blues. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin. Cheers to Muddy Waters, the folk-slinging king of the Delta.

Muddy Waters

Muddy Waters, born McKinley Morganfield in 1913, was an American blues musician who transformed the genre with his raw vocals and electrifying guitar skills. Hailing from the Mississippi Delta, Waters brought the heartache and hardship of rural life to the forefront of his music, earning him a reputation as the "father of modern Chicago blues." With hits like "Mannish Boy" and "Hoochie Coochie Man," Waters cemented himself as a pioneer of the blues, influencing generations of musicians with his distinctive sound. His soulful lyrics and gritty performances captivated audiences worldwide, earning him a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
