Big Walter Horton In Session - From Memphis To Chicago CD
This addition to the In Session series is devoted to one of the most influential, but possibly least known blues harmonica players of all time, Big Walter Horton. Included here are all of Walter's own recordings plus great examples of the session work that he undertook in Memphis and Chicago. The five-year period from 1951 to 1956 that this collection covers features his work with notable blues stars such as Willie Nix, Joe Hill Louis, Otis Rush, Jimmy Rogers, Johnny Shines, Tampa Red and Sunnyland Slim. Willie Dixon is often as saying that "Walter Horton is the best harmonica player I ever heard". After listening to these fine 28 examples of his work you may well agree. Accompanying booklet includes detailed liner notes.
