[FADIR2010]

@Lisseckk Cool man!! Things like that will ALWAYS have a special people on it!!

[dontstopbeingwack]

i think this song is half about himself, and half about the bible - when god wanted to cleanse the earth it rained for 40 days and 40 nights

@kissmablaekaess87 cant forget about james cotton in the johnny winter lineup too

[raw142177]

What movie are you guys talking about? I havn't seen a movie, but I can say I grew up listening to the blue's thanks to my dad. I'm 31 and this legend will live on. You can bet you butt my kids will know what the blue's is and the history of rock and roll for that matter. The generations now have no originality. They just cycle themselves. Keepin it real for Muddy!

@FADIR2010

I'm from Brazil too .. haha .. my history it's kind different .. I start to listening to blues because of a girl..

Well thanks to her .. I learn to like the real deal ...

Times like these will never come back again =´(

[jimjim506]

damn people the songs were around before the movie... where you been guys ? :D (no offence meant by that just messing)

@kissmablaekaess87 Kim Wilson from the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds played harmonica for the actor portraying Little Walter.....He did a good job in the movie..

[kissmablaekaess87]

Little Walter's tongue blocking skills on the harp are almost impossible to duplicate! This guy had mean skills! As a fellow blues harpist, I still can't get anywhere near that solo! But don't forget Paul Oscher, who also played in Muddy's band! Those two are KINGS of the blues harp! And Paul is still alive! R.I.P King Walter, you were taken way too young....

[kissmablaekaess87]

@checker764 As a fellow harpist, Id have to agree! But don't forget Paul Oscher, who also played with Muddy's band... He is just as good if not better in my opinion!

[Gukuthegreat]

Good Song!!!

[crazyjoe644]

i am a white man n back in the late 50's n 60's we listen to a station in tenn. n thats all they had was black music it came on late at night around 11or12.thats when i live in ohio.i live in tx. now n it sucks..nothing like ohio were black n whites were the same

[paul72kate]

@checker764 Quite agree - just something special which no one before or since has been able to capture. Little Walter is likely the best blues harmonica player who's ever lived.

[kathymoore57]

sooooo goood!

[Feelin2nice]

Perhaps's Muddy's best work. If not it's in the top 2 or 3. Great song. That harp is killing in this song!

@mnpd007 Everything you said is true from a white perspective. White Americans didn't know Muddy or Wolf, or Willie, but to millions of Black people they were superstars. Black people left the blues behind after the Civil Rights movement. That's a story all by itself, but don't think that the mainstream (White) perspective is the only one that exists.

[deseandote1]

Oh yes!!! Oh yes!!! Lil Walter is a genius.!!!!!

[mnpd007]

When Chess Records sold out, the new owners found hundreds if not thousands of vinyl records with records of Muddy, Wolf, Etta James etc., and threw them all in the trash. These artists weren't the legends they've become in modern times. In the 60's you would have heard of Etta because she had "crossover" hits, but no one knew Wolf, Dixon and the others unless they were followers of the Blues... most people then were not. The Brits were the biggest consumers.

did cassandra wilson cover this one ?

[CJade85]

nouthing better then soul
