The Real Folk Blues is a series of blues compilation albums released between 1965 and 1967 by Chess Records,
and distributed by MCA Records. Each album in the series highlighted the music of one major Chess artist,
including John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Sonny Boy Williamson II. The series, overseen by
Marshall Chess, was a reaction to the increasing audience for the blues following the British Invasion.
Companion discs, titled More Real Folk Blues, were released for many of the artists.
This is the 1987 MCA/Chess "The Original Chess Masters" reissue.
