Album Description
2008 four CD Proper box set, the most comprehensive set of its kind in the marketplace featuring all of the key exponents of the harmonica working in the Blues arena. Sonny Boy Williamson, Sonny Terry, Walter Horton, Billy Boy Arnold, Slim Harpo and Junior Wells are all represented with two discs given over to the acknowledged genius of the instrument: the awesome Little Walter. The Blues as an idiom is dominated by the human voice, so it is not surprising that vocal elements like wailing and moaning were among the first sounds heard to be played on the harmonica. These effects were achieved by blocking off several holes of the harp simultaneously or by singing and humming through the instrument. This box set opens with the early harmonica players who were either solo players or operative as accompanists in string and jug bands. until we finally arrive to the unique and awesome harmonica sound of Little Walter, an artist who was to leave his mark on blues music, as a hit maker and songwriter, but most of all as a genius of the harmonica. Proper.
