Biography

Big Walter Horton was one of the key architects of modern blues harmonica. Blues legend Willie Dixon referred to him as "the best harmonica player I ever heard." Along with Little Walter Jacobs and Sonny Boy Williamson II, he is considered to be one of the most influential harpists ever. He was capable of both intense power and fragile delicacy, often in the same song. He was endlessly… Read more in Amazon's Big Walter Horton Store

Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

In 1977 harmonica senior Big Walter Horton's approach to rhythm and pitch is no longer the wonderment of yesterday, and he only provides a few scintillas of creative animation on standards and marginalia. Sharing the studio with six young musicians, including saxophonist Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff and pianist Ron Levy, he cuts even a worse figure singing. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, November 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Fine Cuts (Audio CD)
Frank Hadley's review is ridiculous. Walter Horton's playing on this CD swings like crazy, is fluent, expressive, and totally in focus. The mixed blues and jazz material shows the Chicago blues legend's versatility, and the young guys playing with him are consummate instrumentalists. As for the singing -- it is not the group's strong point but it is quite passable. Listen to the samples for yourself and ignore the professional bad-mouther!

5.0 out of 5 stars That Hadley Dude is a moron., June 5, 2006
This review is from: Fine Cuts (Audio CD)
I used to go see Big Walter play. Only a musical idiot and moron cannot understand the depth of feeling portrayed in Big Walter's playing and singing. Whaddya want, a blues legend to sound like Barbara Streisand? This is really tasty stuff, really wonderful renditions by a bluse Master. Get it and LISTEN and FEEL.
