Do you know his work with Jimmy Rogers?
Little Walter is a 2008 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You already knew that. You have probably even made your opinions known about:
a) the quality of the Little Walter musical tribute at the Hall of Fame ceremony (you thought it was too sloppy)
b) the ridiculous "Sidemen" label that greeted Little Walter at the Hall of Fame door (you used curse words)
If we were playing word association and I gave you the words "Little Walter" and "sideman," your reply just might be "Muddy Waters." I would find no fault with your reaction. But I strongly suggest you begin thinking: "Jimmy Rogers."
If you aren't listening to Little Walter's work with Jimmy Rogers, you are missing a truckload of tunes. I recommend without reservation . . .
Artist: Jimmy Rogers
Title: The Complete Chess Recordings
Released: 1997
The above is a two-disc set. Not every song features Little Walter, but rest assured that these songs are all super.
