Blue Monday

When it comes to footage of the harmonica master Little Walter, there is indeed Very Little Walter. This performance, which appears to have been taken from an American Folk Blues Festival tour from the early 1960s, shows Little Walter playing sideman to Hound Dog Taylor on “Wild About You Baby.” It’s a perfectly good performance (Hound Dog Taylor himself is a topic for further study) but what one wouldn’t give for Little Walter performing “Juke” or one of his other hits.
