Walter had it all! He invented distorted amps BEFORE guitarists! His acoustic harp had phrasing and tone to die for. His songs are amongst the greatest blues tracks. His songs were sexier than the rest. MORE harp players try to copy or reference or are influenced by him than any other. My Jack Russell is named "little" Walter.......the vet nurses all giggle when they call "Walter" to the waiting room!!! Muddy was the king of the blues, not B.B. (sorry) and Walter was the "Black knight"!!! RIP Walt, you changed my life ( for the better!!!!)
