He continued sporadically over the next few years recording with Baby Face Leroy Foster, Sunnyland Slim, and others, playing an important role in Foster's memorable Parkway sessions, where a storming and definitive version of "Rollin' And Tumblin' " emanated from, with additional help from Muddy Waters.

These sides, Walter's own and those of his friends, were issued on imprints like Chance, Savoy, Regal and others, and while retaining noticeable characteristics of the Delta, there was a flavor of progression among them.

The Essential Little Walter 2-CD set compiles 46 tracks recorded between and , about one-quarter of them the surging, atmospheric instrumentals Jacobs is so highly regarded for.

Leading off with "Juke," backed by the guitars of Waters and Jimmy Rogers plus the restrained yet highly rhythmic drumming of Elga Edmonds, Walter's harp work soars to new heights as he maneuvers between short bursts and long, flowing phrases, and he showed improved vocal prowess from his earlier work on what was the B-side, "Can't Hold Out Much Longer.

The Myers boys were like twin jackhammers weaving seamless fills between Walter's harmonica flights into outer-space with Below playing like a locomotive streaming across the flat, Midwestern plains on the instrumental, "Boogie. According to liner notes: [2]. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
