Good stuff lately, gents.
What's this one all about?
This album is a collection of songs he did in the mid 1950's on small labels long before he played in the Muddy Water Band. I like it a lot and find his harp playing to be hypnotic.What's this one all about?
Now I'm Jonesin' to spin some Walter vinyl.
All I have is Confessin' The Blues and a best of. One of them has a warp in it that looks like somebody rested it on a cue ball over top of a heat register, I forget which one.
I usually reach for that Chess 50th Anniversary CD, but I think I'll pull out the vinyl.
Speaking of Walter, the Oscher album I posted above has this story that he tells on it.
Warning, though, it's rated R.
I love how he pauses before dropping an F bomb and asks if they're any kids there. When I saw him at a bar a few years ago he told that story, complete with the swearing. When I saw him at a festival last summer he toned it down. You could tell he knew the story didn't work as well without the cussin', lol.
Sounds like a good one.This album is a collection of songs he did in the mid 1950's on small labels long before he played in the Muddy Water Band. I like it a lot and find his harp playing to be hypnotic.
Oh man, don't get me started on Ramos. By far one of my fav current players. Everything he touches is worth a listen.Some jump-blues
