MandoSquirrel said:You got that right. I heard a lot more of Sonny Terry, but Walter had the sound & chops I adored. Second place was Howling Wolf, even though he swapped between harp, guitar, & neither, I always liked his harp playing. But Little Walter was "IT". Though I knew of Sonny Boy, it was only later I heard enough to appreciate him(or, I should say, "them") . Big Walter Horton could wail, as well!
I've only recently come to appreciate Horton, though I was aware of him before. I got a CD with a tune he gets one of those tones on I can't resist.Walter Horton ......... my harp main man !

And here I was feeling guilty for steering your Hound Dog Taylor vid thread off into harpland :wink: !
Bass was another stand out on that, yer right; I noticed, too, not your typically, simple style, but filled nicely.mellowgerman said:Excellent!
Almost sounds like phil lesh on the bass there in the beginning! (thinkin of "truckin") eh?
