My pick for this week's #MusicWomenWednesday is a video from the 1967 American Folk and Blues Festival. This is Koko Taylor doing a live version of her great hit from the previous year, backed by a stellar group of musicians including Little Walter on harmonica, Hound Dog Taylor on guitar, Dillard Crume on bass and Odie Payne on drums.

This line-up even visited Finland, playing a show at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki on October 12, 1967.

S hráčem na foukací harmoniku Little Walterem se život nemazlil. Když 15. února 1968 zemřel ve věku 37 let na následky zranění hlavy, které utrpěl při pouliční bitce v Chicagu, zanechal nám tu spousty úchvatných bluesových desek.

Little Walter was a drinking, fighting man with a short temper. A minor fight in 1968 did him in.

The Best of Little Walter by Little Walter

I believe this is a compilation of singles and B-sides released by Little Walter in the early to mid 50’s.

Little Walter was a singer, guitar player and harmonica player. The songs are blues inspired with little touches of rock added in. I’m a sucker for stuff like this so have really enjoyed this record

“Sad Hours” by Little Walter (1952)

https://songwhip.com/little-walter/sadhours

Little Walter was kind of a Hendrix on harmonica, redefining what the instrument was capable of.
Wikipedia says: “He was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, the first and, to date, only artist to be inducted specifically as a harmonica player.”
