Folk Singer (album)
''Folk Singer'' is the fourth studio album by Muddy Waters, released April 1964 on Chess Records. The album features Waters on acoustic guitar, backed by Willie Dixon on string bass, Clifton James on drums, and Buddy Guy on acoustic guitar. The record is Waters' only all-acoustic album. Numerous reissues of ''Folk Singer'' include bonus tracks from two subsequent sessions in April 1964 and October 1964.
Despite not charting in any country, ''Folk Singer'' received critical acclaim; most reviewers praised its high-quality sound, especially on remastered versions, as well as the instrumentation. In 2003, the album was ranked number 280 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
==Background==
After his successful performance at Newport Jazz Festival and tours through America, Chess Records encouraged Waters to record songs for a new studio album. Before the recording, many musicians left and joined Waters' band. Andrew Stephens, who played during Newport, was replaced in the following years with numerous bassists. Waters' "Junior" band included drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, who later replaced Francis Clay. Pat Hare was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife Mrs. Winje. While in jail, he formed the band Sounds Incarcerated.
Hare was replaced with numerous guitarists, including James "Pee Wee" Madison, who unlike Hare, played a right-handed guitar left handed. Madison played guitar on some of the reissue bonus tracks, as did Sammy Lawhorn. Lawhorn allegedly suffered from narcolepsy, however, Elvin Bishop denied this and believed he was just an alcoholic. Electric guitarist Buddy Guy, who recorded with Waters for 1963's ''Blues from Big Bill's Copacabana'' on Chess, was hired. Guy was previously discovered by Waters shortly after Guy's arrival from Louisiana.
