Essential for die-hard Little Walter fans,
By Jimbeau Harp (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blues World of Little Walter (Audio CD)
Die-hard Little Walter fans will find much to like about this CD. Just having "Rollin' and Tumblin'(Part 1)" is worth the price of the CD alone. Another outstanding song is "I Just Keep Loving Her". Walter also plays guitar on this CD, a fact that surprises some people. His guitar work isn't in the same league as a T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Rogers or Muddy Waters, but it shows another side of his talent. For folks looking for their first Little Walter CD, this is not for them - go for one of the "Best of" Chess titles instead.

Acoustic, primitive Walter,
By "wednightprayermeeting" (Bellview, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blues World of Little Walter (Audio CD)
Acoustic, primitive Little Walter at age 19. Extremely raw and stripped clean of frills. Straight blues. Features Muddy, JB Lenoir, and Sunnyland Slim. If you like Little Walter, this is a must. Great early versions of "Rollin' And Tumblin'."

ESSENTIAL CHICAGO BLUES-IGNORE THE PREVIOUS IGNORANCE,
By
This review is from: The Blues World of Little Walter (Audio CD)
If you have any regard for or knowledge of Chicago blues at all, you will already know that these are classic, seminal performances with a young Muddy Waters and the great Leroy Foster. If you think this music is less than essential, you need to abandon the Blues join the Barry Manilow fan club.
As for JB Lenoir - he was one of the most innovative of the second line Chicago bluesmen, and a highly unusal lyricist. I had the privelage of seeing him perform in the 60's and my high opinion of him is far from unique. So ignore Pepper and buy into classic formative Chicago blues.

Far From The Best Of Little Walter,
By
This review is from: The Blues World of Little Walter (Audio CD)
This album is far from the best of Little Walter. These songs were recorded during his pre-amplification days. J.B. Lenoir is perhaps the single most over-rated Blues musician in history, thus I dread hearing his performances on this album. If you're interested in finding out what's so great about Little Walter, buy a Muddy Waters Chess Records compilation and/or "Confessin' The Blues", a wonderful Little Walter cd. "Rollin' & Tumblin'" saves this album from being a total bore, as it is some of the most emotive, amazing, sensational, post-World War II Blues in existence!
