Little Walter - The Best Of Little Walter - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180-Gram Vinyl, Acoustic Sounds Series, All-Analog Mastering

Originally released on Chess Records in 1958, The Best of Little Walter is a cornerstone of Chicago blues, collecting Walter Jacobs' most iconic harmonica sides including "Juke" — the only harmonica instrumental ever to top the Billboard R&B chart — plus the Willie Dixon-penned "My Babe," "Blues With a Feeling" and more. By amplifying the harp through a microphone and amp, Walter created a dirty, distorted tone that reshaped electric blues and influenced everyone from Paul Butterfield to Mick Jagger. This Acoustic Sounds Series reissue is mastered all-analog from the original Chess tapes.
