In the early '60s, folk music was all the rage, and Chess Records wanted to cash in by getting their top blues artist to cut an acoustic "folk" album.
Of course, Muddy Waters started out playing authentic delta blues in Mississippi, years before he ever picked up an electric guitar, and he delivered an extraordinary performance.
Not only is the music superlative, but the quality of the recording itself is
stunning, very spacious and atmospheric.
Absolutely highly recommended.
