The Classics BLUES & RHYTHM SERIES 1953-1955 installment for blues harp legend Little Walter presents an indispensable selection of prime-time South Side Chicago blues. Given that he was one of the more popular artists on the scene during the early '50s, this disc contains a decent number of R&B hits from the time, with the classics "You'd Better Watch Yourself" and "My Babe" among them. While these Checkers sides boast, at different points, Robert Lockwood Jr., Otis Spann, and Bo Diddley on guitar, and the inimitable Willie Dixon on bass, the main attraction is Little Walter's harmonica, as it moans away like the devil's laughter and tears. ~AMG
