Muddy Waters'

The quality of the recording is good to begin with. The hi-res HDAD version makes for great listening. While not as involving as the vinyl version, the 24/192 file is pretty amazing. The disc comes as a 24/96 file on one side, playable in most DVD players, and on the other side there is a 24/192 file, which must be ripped and played via a server supporting 24/192.

I got my copy through Acoustic Sounds.

I have some recent excellent remasters of old Muddy Waters stuff on redbook. These remasters amaze me in that they sound like contemporary high quality recordings, not like what I remember these legacy blues recordings sounding like for the most part all those years ago. From listening, one would might never realize that these are not recent recordings of a contemporary blues artist on some modern audiophile record label.

"Muddy Waters: Folk Singer" is among my own personal favorite recordings. Which recording of his music are you referring to? The original vinyl version I used to have was just outstanding. I can't recall what pressing it was though.

The CDs I have that come to mind as particularly excellent recordings are the two Chess 50th Anniversary Collection "His Best" disks, 1947-56 and 1956-64.

The hi-res HDAD disc that Ben is commenting on is indeed Muddy Waters "Folk Singer" on the Classic Records label.
