Album Review

Recorded live to two track at some bar in Minneapolis in 1979, here's Big Walter fronting a pickup band for a typical set of raw and elegant harmonica blues. The band follows him well and plays with a restraint rare in a pickup band. Big Walter's in fine form, blowing with an inventiveness that only he possessed and mumbling his way through the vocals in his own inimitable way. There are eight comfortably stretched-out performances, including two instrumental jams and a nice closer of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." There's not much of Big Walter on disc all by himself and this disc makes a nice addition to a very small but potent discography.
