- Walter Horton, better known as Big Walter Horton or Walter "Shakey" Horton, (April 6, 1917 -- December 8, 1981) was an American blues harmonica player. A quiet, unassuming and essentially shy man, Horton is remembered as one of the premier harmonica players in the history of blues. Willie Dixon once called Horton "the best harmonica player I ever heard."

Outstanding.
This song is so classic and talented with that harmonica I felt like I'm right next to my paw paw listing to this song this is one of those songs u need to listen to while ur walking to work like in them old CLASSIC MOVIES
Edit this is the most classic as it gets to flappers girls
No one could hit the high notes as smoothly and sweetly as Big Walter.
One of my mentors. Truly one of the all time greats.
Billy Branch ain't no slouch👍👍👍
Billy Branch
so are you man, so are you
Billy Branch, you are one of Shakey Horton's finest disciples. Hugs from Brazil.
did you meet him or you meant you listen to his music? mentor = live in front of you :)
@@atta1798 I met him many times. I would give him a ride home on occasion. He taught me by " cutting my head " many times over the years. I learned a lot from him.
This guy is the reason Little Walter was called Little Walter. The greatest blues harmonica player.
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.
i can tell!
One of the founding fathers of blues harmonica, a true master he will live forever, a huge influence on my style
Saw him when he came to England with Willie Dixon etc. Fantastic.
Every harmonica lesson ever. "Move the harmonica, never your head." Then you find out one of the best never listened to that rule.
You'll find the real correct technique is the one that works for you. Whodathunk that music was more art than science, eh?
I just found that out and it's very interesting
Dizzy Gillespie didn't pay attention to "Don't blow out your cheeks", either. Well, I'm glad that I have permission from those greats: after 6 decades of playing piano I can stop trying to sit still and move the freaking piano.

Funny, I've always heard to never move the harp, move your head.
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!
please save this so it may be shared for all time.
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.
🙏
Uno más

I'm a about 6 full hours of practicing thing song. Not even close. This man is a god of technique
He is using Bb harmonica?
I can play a little like Big Walter joe and you will get closer if you use a Marine Band harp.They have that certain tone that he had because they are what he played.Jim.Liverpool.

Great thanks for upload
He was bad azz, a raw pure musical genius.
thanks 4 posting!!!!
the only good like video of big Walter!
This is beautiful
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.
On which songs did he work with Elmore?
Inn that movie hes not playing cause he had some work done in his teeth
I was on the road with Big Walter for a year. Quite a gentleman, I visited him at his home in Chicago. The man liked cats, they were everywhere.
@@paulnebenzahl702 Hey Paul any cool stories about him ?
@@paulnebenzahl702 I've been loading many of my (Dear Mom's, RIP) massive boxes of blues CD's into the computer for back up and came across the 20th Anniversary Collection on The Alligator Records, I became curious about Big Walter Horton and found this Video! BLOWN AWAY by this dude! PHEW!!!! Just wanted to say that the end of your comments about visiting him (the part about the CATS) hit my FUNNY BONE and I laughed uncontrollably for 5 mins! 8-)))))))
No sé xq m gusta la harmonica y espere años para aprender.bien con estos maestros . Gracias walter
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.
Um mestre da gaita, bom demais. maneco - Brasil.
