Harmonica virtuoso Little Walter was a key contributor to bluesman Muddy Waters' music through most of the 1950s. Both as a sideman and bandleader, Little Walter revolutionized the sound of blues harmonica through amplification, clasping a mike to the harp as he played. His daring instrumental innovations were fresh, startling, and ahead of their time. The Best of Little Walter was his debut LP: First released in 1957, this compilation album contained ten Little Walter songs that appeared in the Top 10 of the Billboard R&B chart from 1952 to 1955, plus two B-sides. He is accompanied by such masters as Muddy Waters, Robert Lockwood, Jr. And Willie Dixon.
