Loved to hear the stories from my dad when he was in his 20’s in Chicago in the ‘50’s. They were all from the south and moved to Chicago for a better way of life. He said they knew when someone was performing that evening on the South Side of Chicago around 47th St because instead of it being free to get in, there was a $2.00 cover. It was the likes of Muddy Waters, Lil Walter, Howlin Wolf, and others.😎
@igortakesabride11392 роки тому
I hate how it's easier for you to say "moved to Chicago for a better way of life" instead of 'escaped the lynching and violent racism of the South for safer Chicago". Most people are assuming that blacks moved to chicago for better economics or something just as innocuous. Black people were literally refugees in their own country for decades after the slaves were "freed" because of intense violence and murders and mayhem upon them. Let it be known it wasn't just for upward mobility like the Jeffersons tv sitcom portrayed it. They were escaping FOR THEIR LIVES!

@@igortakesabride1139 Not really getting your point. Yes, I can say EXACTLY what I said, because that’s exactly what it was. His parents(My grandparents), had/still have over 50 acres of land in the south. Working on the farm all your life, he wanted a better way of life. He had unbelievable work ethic that he passed on to kids. He thought his talents were more than the farm. He meet my mother in Chicago, who was also originally from the south. By the way, my mother also moved to Chicago from a small town because she wanted a better way of life. They decided after having 3 children to move from the big city where violence/gangs were starting increase. So we left. All good decisions. I know all to well about because I had cousins who ran away from gang life, where involved in gang life, and a few that died in gang life.

Walter was almost at the end of his powers here but his sound was still remarkable on the harmonica. He wasn't used to playing acoustically like this for the latter part of his career because of course Little Walter developed all of the amplified techniques that harmonica players emulate today. That makes this recording even more interesting.

@lesliesawyer46406 місяців тому
You are absolutely right we are not used to LW playing acoustic harp. I believe his character was assassinated by the film that presumed to depict Muddy Waters, and whoever chose the photo on the Chess album curated by Tom Swan, overblowing the most difficult parts of his personality. He plays and sounds so different here from when he's with Louis and Dave Myers and Fred Below, sophisticated guys who I think were a positive influence on him-- he adapts to Hound Dog Taylor, plays in what I think of as the Sonny Boy II style that I dislike, but genuinely gives his all, proving he was not as prickly and intractable as often portrayed. His technique, relying heavily on the hands, that we see here is much like what we see from others playing acoustic like Junior Wells, who seems to like playing away from his mic, or Walter Horton. Can't pick up the subtleties of his tongue-blocked amplified style, the My Babe lick on the record version, with the killer bebop ending to the 12 bar solo. I was in Chicago and just beginning to love the blues when Walter passed away after unwisely going to bed with a concussion.
