Muddy Waters’s Real Folk Blues (Chess Acoustic Sounds Series) offers a focused perspective on the artist’s blues work. The vinyl program gives the selections room to connect, making the contrast between individual moments and the larger sequence part of the listening experience.
The strength of the music lies in the individuality brought to a shared musical language. Timing, tone and the way a phrase is answered can change the meaning of a familiar shape, making the performance itself as important as the song. The program includes “Mannish Boy”, “Screamin' & Crying”, “Just to Be with You”.
