Muddy Waters: Muddy, Brass And The Blues (Acoustic Sounds) (180 g) (LP)

In 1967, Muddy Waters had already made his mark on the blues world with his raw, electric, Delta-inspired sound. But with "Muddy, Brass & The Blues" he took a distinctly new path. Chess Records decided to reimagine his sound universe and replace the classic, minimalist setup with a fuller and more refined production. The result is an album with powerful horn arrangements, striking organ and a distinct R&B-inspired sound. In a sensational decision, Muddy Waters' guitar was set aside during these sessions, allowing his iconic voice to shine through. This emphasizes his strength as one of the greatest blues singers and shows a more soulful side to his expression. This release marks the first official US LP reissue in over 30 years and is an essential chapter in his discography - an album where blues meets soul, with a new brass-inspired energy. Bring the sound of America's greatest blues label into your home in high fidelity with the Chess Records Acoustic Sounds Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess discography have been remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP).
