Blues For Big Walter 2016 via EllerSoul
a note about this track

Tip Of The Hat By Mark Wenner - Blues Spotlight: Big Walter "Shakey" Horton Was A Giant Of The Chicago Blues Harp, A.K.A. 'The Mississippi Saxophone'. He Had Little Interest In Leading A Band, However, His Work Speaks For Itself; Tampa Red, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush And Dozens More. Began Playing Beale Street With Will Shade And Hammy Nixon Prior To Relocating To Chicago. Shortly After Junior Wells Was Drafted, Big Walter Joined the Muddy Waters Band For A Year Prior To Hooking Up With Willie Dixon For A European Tour Throughout The 1970's - This Would Cement His Legend. Walter Horton Passed On In 1981.
