Review by Mike Brandenburg

Little Walter's album "It's Too Late Brother Take Me Back" is a classic blues masterpiece that showcases the harmonica player's exceptional skills and unique style. Released in 1959, the album features a mix of original compositions and covers of blues standards, all delivered with passion, intensity, and soul.

From the opening track, "My Babe," with its catchy riff and infectious groove, to the haunting ballad "Blue Midnight," Little Walter's mastery of the harmonica is on full display. His playing is both melodic and raw, with a tone that is both sweet and gritty. His vocals are equally impressive, ranging from a smooth croon to a powerful shout.

The album's standout tracks include "Roller Coaster," a fast-paced boogie-woogie number that features some of Little Walter's most impressive harmonica solos, and "Crazy Mixed Up World," a slow blues tune that showcases his emotive vocals and lyrical prowess.

Blues harmonica player and composer. His innovation on the harmonica has had impact on succeeding generations. Born & raised in Louisiana, Little Walter had quit school by the age of 12, & was supporting himself with odd jobs & busking around southern cities in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, & Missouri. Arriving in Chicago in 1945, he occasionally found work as a guitarist but garnered more attention for his already highly developed harmonica work. Jacobs, growing frustrated with having his harmonica drowned out by electric guitarists, competed with their volume by adopting the previously little-used method of amplification. However, he differed from his contemporaries by purposely pushing his amplifiers beyond their intended technical limitations, using the amplification to explore and develop radical new timbres and sonic effects previously unheard from a harmonica, or any other instrument. It has been said Little Walter was the first musician of any kind to purposely use electronic distortion. His first released recordings were in 1947. He then joined band playing mostly unamplified harmonica from 1948 to 1952, though hired Walter to play on most of Muddy's records throughout the 50's. In 1952 his instrumental hit "Juke" spent 8 weeks atop the Billboard R&B chart, the only harmonica instrumental #1 to date. Little Walter scored fourteen top-ten hits on the Billboard R&B charts between 1952 and 1958, including a second #1, "My Babe" in 1955, a level of commercial success never achieved by his former boss Waters. In the late 1950s, Jacob's fame and fortunes began to decline. He suffered from alcoholism and had a notoriously short temper. He died in his sleep at the apartment of a girlfriend at 209 E. 54th St. in Chicago early in the morning following a fight outside a club he was playing at in South Chicago. Described as "king of all post-war blues harpists
