This is very early amplified Walter, recorded in the fall of 1954 for the Black-owned United/States labels. On four of the cuts,
Big Walter is playing backup harp and solos for singer
Tommy Brown; the other two cuts represent
Big Walter's first Chicago record under his own name. Includes the definitive recording of the classic Walter tune "Hard Hearted Woman." Reissued on compact disc by Delmark in 2000.
