Little Walter was one of the giants of Chicago Blues, transforming the role of the harmonica and helping establish it as a lead instrument capable of matching the power and expressiveness of the electric guitar. The Best Of Little Walter brings together 12 essential recordings, including the unforgettable My Babe, Sad Hours, You're So Fine and Last Night.
Walter's extraordinary harmonica work is at the heart of the collection, from the atmospheric Sad Hours and Blue Lights to the driving Blues With A Feeling and Can't Hold Out Much Longer. The instrumental Juke is an essential highlight, showcasing his remarkable command of the harmonica without a vocal, while Mean Old World, Off The Wall, You Better Watch Yourself and Tell Me Mamma demonstrate the breadth of his classic Chicago sound.
With 12 essential Little Walter recordings on CD, this is a compact introduction to one of the most influential harmonica players in blues history. From the instantly recognisable My Babe to the instrumental brilliance of Juke, The Best Of Little Walter packs a powerful selection of Chicago Blues and harmonica-driven classics into one affordable collection.
