Marion "Little Walter" Jacobs is perhaps the most influential harmonica player on contemporary blues, and his collection is a great place to start. He was trained by Muddy Waters, but brought a more swinging feel to blues. Muddy and his band accompany Little Walter on many hits, as do Robert "Jr." Lockwood, the Aces, and other Chicago greats. In the 1950s, Little Walter's popularity eclipsed even Waters', his style a little more relaxed and pop-oriented. Walter's versions of many songs are the standards: "Blues with a Feeling," "You're So Fine," "Juke." Great stuff. --Robert Gordon

Danny J. Bennett (Rosamond , CA.)
I was Blown away by the cd. Little walter has been the guy who all Blues harmonica players have tried to emulate for the last 50 years.
Walter's Playing style has been copied and his singing as well.
He was the man behind MUDDY WATERS'Success as well. There is not a bad tune on this cd. As a blues guitarist myself ' I can appreciate Walters playing ability. He was smooth without being overbearing. He knew when to lay back and when to Kick the solos up a notch. HE truly was the Best there ever was !
Highest Regards.. FAT DANNY Bennett.

Most of the really great harp players are dead and he was one of the very best. Harpers are still trying to figure out what he was doing with some of his licks!
The King of the Chicago Blues Harmonica February 15, 2009
Art and Music
As one of the fathers of the postwar Chicago urban blues harmonica style, Little Walter remains one of the greatest players of that instrument.
His classic "Juke" is an exciting instrumental that is the first "serious" showpiece for many emerging blues harpists.
In fact, every leading blues harmonica player who followed Little Walter-and even most of his contemporaries-studied him closely, and can be heard playing his songs and licks. His playing influenced George Smith, Walter Horton, James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite, Paul Butterfield, John Mayall, and many others too numerous to mention here.
Walter Jacobs was also a fine blues singer, closely involved with the lyric, using a minimum of vocal ornamentation. He was not a "power" singer like Elmore James, but one whose vocal style embodied studied restraint. Walter sang all the typical blues motifs capably, from the down-and-out lovesick blues numbers ("Mean Old World") to the blues-shuffle storytelling songs ("Key to the Highway") to the uptempo, optimistic tunes ("Everything's Gonna Be Alright") that provide contrast to the sad blues themes.
This is the real deal. The musicians on this recording grew up during hard times, many of them in the country in Mississippi; playing the blues was their outlet for expression and relaxation. No "arts funding" was needed for their learning.
It's a superb collection of classic blues songs, and an amazing bargain at the offered price. Highly recommended to all blues lovers, aspiring blues musicians, and listeners who are just beginning to explore blues music. Can't say enough good things about this fine collection.
