Little Walter

With apologies to Sonny Boy Williamson , Walter Jacobs gets a self-titled blogpost. My good friends at Plan 9 Music concept had to do very little plodding for me to bestow this honor on LITTLE WALTER, another extraordinary blues harp/singer/composer dude. Mr. Jacobs is eminently deserving of a CHESS BLUES MASTER double album.

In the nineteen seventies, Nick Caruso both conceived and illustrated the gatefold album covers of 7 musicians, including the "Holy Trinity of Chicago Blues," being Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Boy Williamson. The only album cover art unposted features J. B. Lenoir. But I will post another photo because the musician is also known as Professor McKinley Morganfield:

As for the Double Muddy, you can "Buy It Now" from eBay for $60 but I wish you the best of luck if you seek to find the vinyl Double Walter.

For his illustrations of seven front & back vinyl album covers, the artist told me that Chess Records paid him approximately $1000.
