If there’s a blues harmonica player alive today who doesn’t have a copy of this landmark album in their collection, they’re either lying or had their copy of it stolen by another harmonica player. This 12-song collection is the one that every harmonica player across the board cut their teeth on. All the hits are here: “My Babe,” “Blues with a Feeling,” “You Better Watch Yourself,” “Off the Wall,” “Mean Old World” and the instrumental that catapulted him from the sideman chair in Muddy Waters’ band to the top of the R&B charts in 1952, “Juke.” Walter’s influence to this very day is so pervasive over the landscape of the instrument that this collection of singles is truly: 1) one of the all-time greatest blues harmonica albums, 2) one of the all-time greatest Chicago blues albums, and 3) one of the first ten albums you should purchase if you’re building your blues collection from the ground floor up.
