There has never been any doubt that it is Big Walter on harmonica.
Little Walter is THE MAN for me but Big Walter made his mark for sure, with this record and the other side of it, 'Evening Sun' and his own 'Hard-Hearted Woman' and 'Have A Good Time' amongst others.
No doubt! Lil Walter on harp, that's his sound. Big Walter was much rough, a great one, yet. Anyway I love both of them. And what about Johnny? how marvellous was he!

Yeah, Big Walter was one of those guys who could play in a bunch of different styles-- including Little Walter's.

Sounds much more like Little Walter to me -tone,style,licks everything.
It would be nice to actually know for sure though...

Fantastic. This is, of course, the opposite 'side' to 'Evening' Sun. What a double-sided classic!
I must have heard it a thousand times but it always sounds great.
