Waters's 1967 album More Real Folk Blues found the legendary Chicago bluesman delving into acoustic arrangements and a more traditional folk blues repertoire. This collection offers a fascinating, if brief, departure from his signature electric sound.
- The album was recorded in Chicago in 1966, featuring sessions primarily produced by a young Ralph Bass.
- More Real Folk Blues was released in early 1967, a period when Waters was also gaining international acclaim through the burgeoning blues festival circuit.
- The album compiles tracks from sessions that were initially intended for other projects, including material released as singles in the mid-60s.
Muddy Waters was a seminal Chicago blues guitarist and singer, a key figure in the genre's electrification and popularization. In 1967, he was still a dominant force in blues, though this album would mark a temporary flirtation with a folkier sound.
