The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier - Acoustic Sounds Bluesville Reissue

A hidden gem from the Prestige label is back — and it sounds better than ever. Originally recorded in 1964 but unreleased until 1968, The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier introduced a Chicago singer-songwriter who would later bridge folk, soul, and jazz with unmatched grace. In this video, I revisit Callier’s remarkable debut — newly reissued by Craft Recordings on 180-gram vinyl — exploring its history, its sound, and its place in one of the most quietly brilliant careers in American music. Highlights: • Recorded 1964, released 1968 on Prestige (Bluesville series) • Sparse instrumentation — just voice, guitar, and two basses • All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab • Plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings • Series overseen by Chad Kassem • Exceptional high-gloss tip-on jacket by Stoughton Printing The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier proves that soul doesn’t always need a rhythm section — sometimes, one voice and one guitar can say it all. — 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into vinyl reissues, classic albums, and pressing comparisons. 💬 Have you heard this one before?
