Written on March 23, 2002 Summary: It is just as the album title!! The work that the essence of Little Walter tightly got blocked. And the scars of his forehead are telling it,I think. You should surely listen this genius harpist,if You haven't listen yet. Written on June 25, 2001 Summary: Quintessential If you are into blues and blues harmonica,this is it. A real deal bluesman who lived the life(see fabulous biographical insert). Part of Muddy Waters band and the electric "revolution." Feel the raw power from his newly developed crunchy, eery back alley, plugged in amplifier sound. Hear the beginnings of modern electric rock & roll. His voice even sounds harplike. Waters and his bandmate Jimmy Rogers play on some tracks,as well as Willie Dixon, Bo Diddly and Otis Spann. From his famous #1 R&B hit instrumental "Juke" to the well known "Boom, Boom out go the lights" every track is a winner. Many tracks recognizable as modern bands have covered some of these. One of my desert island picks. Written on March 5, 2001 Summary: BLUES WITH A FEELIN' This is a fine compilation of Little Walter's best from the legendary Chess Records. Little Walter was in a league of his own when it came to playing the harp. There was just nobody better. He was a great innovator of the modern day harp sound. And he was the first harp player to go "electric", by using a hand held mike plugged in to an amplifier. This gave him that fat harp tone that seperated him from the rest. They called this new sound the Mississippi Saxophone. Besides having a unique sound, Walter was a fine songwriter whose music has been covered by many of the British artists of the 60's. "It Ain't Right"was covered by John Mayall and Eric Clapton on the classic first Bluesbreakers album. And also the Rolling Stones did a cover of Confessin' The Blues". Little Walter was probably most known for the song "Juke", which he used to play as the opening theme song when he played in the Muddy Waters Band. I think his best instrumental song was "Roller Coaster", which has some unusual opening guitar lines that were very creative for the time, performed by Bo Diddley. But my favorites on here are "My Babe", and "Too Late", both of which Willie Dixon wrote for Walter when he played bass in his band. It's hard to believe these songs were put on vinyl before I was even born. Their timeless. And so is Little Walter. Walter lived a hard life of alcoholism and violence, which eventually led to his death from injuries suffered in a street brawl. He was only 38 when he died, but he left a legacy of great blues music behind. Little Walter had a unique harp sound that nobody's ever been able to copy, or ever will. That's a secret he'll take to the grave. Written on February 26, 2000 Summary: GET THAT ONE, TOO! "CONFESSIN' THE BLUES" IS ANOTHER GREAT CD OF LITTLE WALTER. GET THAT ONE, TOO. (FROM A TRUE BLUES FAN.) Written on November 5, 1998 Summary: GET THIS ONE EVERY SONG IN THIS ALBUM IS FANTASTIC! WALTER'S PLAYING IS AMAZING. IF YOU LISTEN TO SOME OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES, YOULL FIND OUT WHY HE WAS CONSIDRED SUCH AN INNOVATOR. THE FINEST ALBUM OF THE FINEST HARP PLAYER EVER! DONT MISS IT (FROM A TRUE BLUES FAN) |
