Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Big Walter Horton
Song:Jumpin' Blues
Album:Mouth Harp Maestro



Big Walter Horton was one of the most respected blues harmonica players in Chicago. But he wasn't as well known as others because he was shy and he also had a drinking problem. He worked a lot of sessions but didn't record under his own name very often. Jumpin' Blues is from some recordings Horton did for Sun Records in the early 50s using the name Mumbles. They were released by British blues label Ace Records and now available on CD from Virgin. Big Walter Horton died in 1981.
