Big Walter Horton 

A personal friend of mine. Went to Mexico with him for some blues concerts ... sat on the plane next to him ... GENIUS. His funeral was heart-breaking.

No one could hit the high notes as smoothly and sweetly as Big Walter.

This guy is the reason Little Walter was called Little Walter. The greatest blues harmonica player.

UN GENIO, ADELANTADO A AQUELLOS TIEMPOS

Every morning i have been playing this song on harmonica. EASY! Was a joke, very difficult and impressive player for me. Thanks to him for had played this song and recorded it.

Every harmonica lesson ever. "Move the harmonica, never your head." Then you find out one of the best never listened to that rule.

One of my mentors. Truly one of the all time greats.

One of the founding fathers of blues harmonica, a true master he will live forever, a huge influence on my style

I will always listen to (My Uncles Music for as long as i live.Your niece Velveeta Horton.Love Always & Forever.Love Ya Uncle Walter. Bka (Big Shakey Horton)

Saw him when he came to England with Willie Dixon etc. Fantastic.

The greatest to ever do it there will never be another Big Walter!!!

the man is a legend and wouldve loved to have met him his sounds are just off the hook awesome

Oh Yeah! That's how to play blues harp. One of the very greatest of the greats. If you're learning harp, listen and also watch how brilliantly Big Walter's hand movements change his tone and produce sound effects. Watch how he blows into the harp to play some of the highest notes and stay in key. What a magnificent player!

i grow up with this blues . thanks walter

This is the song I spent months and months learning. Of course never played sit like him but the riffs in this song became my go to riffs as a player. Got to meet BW in ‘74. Never forget that.

Thirty people gave this thumbs down??? What kind of maniac wouldn't love this?!!

OMG it's so classic the way it starts LOL THIS IS CATCHY NOT GONNA LIE

Big Walter Horton is a legend and a monster on that blues harmonica no doubt about it

please save this so it may be shared for all time.

Fabulous. Tonality, rhythm, everything is right on the point. I'm sorry that this is the first time I've encountered his talent. It's a blessing this video carries his talent to another century/

Fantastic and the bigest message that comes out of all Big Walters work is learn to find your own style of playing. For me that is what makes him a great player. This is wonderful thanks for upload

Yes!!! Very nice indeed!!! Who can say this is not Good.Nice beat,nice feel,great rhythm and great harmonica playing.Thank you for sharing this classic blues treasure and I'm glad to be apart of it!!! Nothing but the blues...R.I.P. Big Walter.

Awesome and super to my ears,love your music.R.i.P,

It's just Gold to be able to see this Master making the sounds. So effortless I love it So Much and I keep coming back to it again & again :)

I just slowed this down to 0.5 playback speed it brings a whole new meaning to this here song slow it down and listen to it I dare y'all you going to fall in love with it The slowdown gives it one of those redlight juke-joint type feeling's

Es verdaderamente hermoso y un deliete escuchar a estos maestros de la armonica desde Mexico

This man could play great!

Un placer escucharlo pura magia.

ah what talent wished saw him perform live!!

He was bad azz, a raw pure musical genius.

Argentina mirando este gran talento!!!

Pure class

Muito maneiro esse blues raiz legítimo o.cara é fera na gaita 🇧🇷👹👤🤘👏👏👏

Não tenho palavras, simplesmente o mestre da Gaita, não tem para ninguém

Big Walter is my favorite harp player of all time. He had his own signature sound... he didn't sound like Little Walter or either of the Sonny Boy Willliamsons. Other players of his era, be it SBW 2, Little Walter, Junior Wells, or James Cotton, still had elements of SBW1 in their playing. Not so with Walter Horton. Horton had that soft fade out at the of his lines that made his playing instantly recognizable. His work with Elmore James and John Lee Hooker was amazing. He's kinda the Robert Junior Lockwood of the blues harp. Listen to his work behind Hooker on "Boom Boom" from the first Blues Brothers movie. Three notes, and you know it's Walter Horton.

incredible!

I LOVE THIS..!

😎 I listen in awe...

Doesn't even seem real it's so fuc$king smooth

Yes such good trick sounds, that sound really good! It's pretty neat with the harmonica!

Big Walter was very, very GOOD

Happy birthday Big Walter Horton 6 April 1917 - 8 December 1981. Big tone, loads of rhythm, good times!

Um mestre da gaita, bom demais. maneco - Brasil.

Hard to tell the difference between Big Walter & Little Walter. Both geniuses of their craft!

The influence for this is Tommy Dorsey's Boogie Woogie. I think this is my most watched RU-vid video.

The King of Tone! He had an amazing ability to make such a small instrument sound so big. If y’all like this, check out Kim Wilson’s version as well.
