5.0 out of 5 stars The Charlie Parker of the harmonica...., September 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Confessin the Blues (Audio CD)

Only one man truly revolutionized blues harmonica and that was Little Walter.

He played "of the moment" and in such a unique, haunting, powerful way that his legacy lives on in every blues musician and especially every harmonica player desperately trying to figure out, emulate, analyze, copy his devastating harp licks!

This CD offers some beautiful songs, amazing instrumentals, with his vocal quality so understated yet honest.

This review is from: Confessin the Blues (Audio CD)

From the deep reverb of "high temperature" to the rockin', driving rhythm of "my babe", this selection of cuts reveals Little Walters' breadth and command of the diatonic harp as well as the chromatic sticks. Little Walter was an innovator with the electronics-mic-amp-hallway combinations, great studio effects and as the lickin'-stick "maestro" produced the most full-bodied and extraordinary harp sounds and blues music of anyone--then or now. Contemporary harp players are still playing catch-up to this man. This CD is a must-have for fans of the "southside Chicago" 50's sound.

I think Little Walter stands right beside Sonny Boy Williamson in Talent.
I was a long time resident of the French Quarter of New Orleans. you know back in the days when the music was live, anything canned in those days was vegetables not music lol.
Those were the days when you walked to a new club and heard the like of Little Walter and then Sonny Boy and more variety of the best Blues and Jazz than can be imagined.
Little Walter is purely among the best ever.......
If you like the Blues Harp.. Get him...
