Love this slow track....so many different variations on harp from The Great Little Walter and the The Brilliant Accompanying Musicians!! Blends together like coke and cream - all you need to gather is a couple ice-cubes for a totally cool experience 🐱
Snooky Pryor said that Little Walter robbed his harmonica pattern from his 1948 "Snooky and Moody's Boogie"

The first hit of Little Walter, featuring Muddy Waters on the guitar. The biggest hit for Chess so far. The first instrumental blues track to hit the #1 spot of the R&B Billboard charts and deserverdly so.

Thanks for for posting Litttle Walter! Brought back so many memories.
Danny cut's his fuckin grass to much!
This was the "warm up song" that was used in Muddy Waters band.They would play it at the beginning of their set, and right before intermissions.Leonard Chess heard them playing it in the studio, and recorded it. It was so successful that Little Walter ended up leaving Muddy to start his own band.That was O.K. because waiting in the wings was was Junior Wells ready to make his mark on the Blues world.
Many a fine musician passed through Muddy Waters' various bands, and he generally gave them his blessings, although he did fire a couple outright.If you're interested, seek out "Can't Be Satisfied" 'The Life & Times of Muddy Waters'by Robert Gordon.
Speaking of the spirit, and thinking in general, I wonder if this is the year that they finally let Paul Butterfield in the R&RHOF. I don't care much for that silly place, but i would sure like to see Butter & Mike Bloomfield & the guys from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band get some recognition for all that they did to bring blues to a whole new generation. Shoot, if not for them, Muddy, Wolf, Albert,, B.B., Freddy, Earl King, and all the rest never would have had their careers resurge like they did. They got a whole new lease on life in the late 60's thanks to Paul. Mike Bloomfield also seems to be constantly overlooked for his efforts. His work with Butterfield on "East-West" in 1966 gave us the extended jam (for better or worse), and the melding of musical genres, like the Raga from Ravi Shankar, and jazz riffs, into a blues framework. His sweet blues solos, and his hard-edged rock riffs blew everyone away at the time. They were true pioneers. Mike also put the band together when Dylan "went electric" at Newport, and also worked on Dylan's "Hwy. 61 Revisited" where he helped bring that great song "Like A Rolling Stone" to fruition.Neither of their collective legacies have ever gotten much recognition in their lifetimes, or now.If you're not familiar with their work, check them out.
@Roger Steinbrink I'm certain The Paul Butterfield Bluesband, Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield will be recognised by the R & R HOF. They are just too important. I never thought of them as helping resurge the Blues in America ! The Rolling Stones seem to always get that credit, but you are right, and I like that better. I was a big fan of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, in the sixties and seventies, big fan ! Still play them.
Yeah, I loved the Butter! He inspired me to pick up the harmonica. The first song I learned was "The Work Song". It took me all summer to really get it down, and until I did,I drove everyone within listening distance crazy!Growing up in Chicago, I didn't know about our rich Blues heritage. Then after discovering PBBB, I was made aware of the fact that all the great old Bluesmen were right in my backyard. In 1966 I was just a kid, and they were playing the Southside clubs where I just couldn't go, but soon after they were "rediscovered" and started playing on bills with the San Fran bands that were big on the scene. The good ole days. lol. And all thanks to Butter, and Mike.
When the Paul Butterfield Blues Band relocated to the West Coast back in '65, '66, they definitely influenced the San Fran scene with their extended jams. All the bands out there picked up on this, so came all the hippy, trippy psychedelic jams that pervaded the local sounds. PBBB were by far the better musicians, I mean they could tear it up!, but they just couldn't crack the commercial nut.
Are you all gettin' it. Cause bro's and sis's this is it.
allegry!!!!
Ain't an allegry something like a Crocodille ?

I share my wealth, poverty, stupidity and unfortunately I can't share my good looks, except for you to admire and adore in photos.
I think I'll pass on that. PS I think you may have shared a little too much of your modesty
The Old Man of the North Lol
It is nice how the guitar player and harmonica work together , the drummer is fabulous
the greatest harp player that ever lived -period ---
Man; I'm not gonna arguing with the greatest god ever.
Already done. (I lived for 800+ years though)
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. (Nice picture)
Ethnicity is a limitation of concept
What are you talking about?!?! Why would you introduce race into this? Have you even read anything about Little Walters' life? Also no such thing as "black on black" crime. That was political propaganda of the 80's. Every race and ethnicity has crime among themselves. Remember Cain and Abel?
He was the best on harmonica--what great pure sound. So glad that this is posted.
genius!!!!!
One of the true greats! Thanks for posting this.
He got killed at a young age. That's pitiful. Even back in the day black on black crime still existed. White men paid for the killing back then though, how fucked up is that?
genial!
Grazie......!!!!!!!!!!!!!:))))
