• Little Walter The Best of Little Walter is the album that became a cornerstone of Chicago Blues and one that turned a pocket-sized harp into a weapon of musical mass seduction!

  Originally released on Chess Records in 1958, this compilation is stacked with Walter Jacobs’ most iconic sides: “Juke” (the only harmonica instrumental to ever top the Billboard R&B chart), “My Babe” (a Willie Dixon-penned classic), “Blues With a Feeling,” “Off the Wall,” and more. These tracks didn’t just set the standard they became the standard for electric blues harp, influencing everyone from Paul Butterfield to Mick Jagger and beyond. Walter amplified the harmonica literally-plugging it into a microphone and pushing it through an amp for a dirty, distorted tone that changed the sound of blues forever.

  This isn’t just a “greatest hits”
